While Peeke is far from reliable on offense, he's been a steady third-pairing defender with a physical edge for the Bruins this year.

Bruins' Andrew Peeke: Returning against Jackets
Rotowire
Peeke (upper body) will be in the lineup to face Columbus on Monday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.
Initial reports suggested Peeke wouldn't be ready to return from his upper-body injury in time for Monday's contest, but it appears he's made good progress. With the 26-year-old blueliner set to play for the first time since Nov. 5 versus the Leafs, he figures to take on a third-pairing role, while Parker Wotherspoon will likely be relegated to a spot in the press box.

Bruins' Andrew Peeke: Doubtful for Monday
Rotowire
Peeke (upper body) is doubtful for Monday's game against Columbus, per Andrew Fantucchio of Boston Hockey Now.
Peeke participated in Sunday's practice and appears to be nearing a return to action following a five-game absence. He has accounted for two assists, seven shots on net, 21 blocked shots and 18 hits across 13 appearances this season. Once he is healthy, Peeke could replace Parker Wotherspoon in the lineup.

Bruins' Andrew Peeke: Considered week-to-week
Rotowire
Head coach Jim Montgomery said Thursday that Peeke (upper body) is considered week-to-week, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports.
Peeke sustained an upper-body injury Tuesday against the Maple Leafs, and it seems as though he'll be forced to miss multiple games. Mason Lohrei will likely draw into the lineup for Thursday's game against the Flames, and it's unclear when the Bruins expect Peeke to return.

Peeke suffered an upper-body injury in Tuesday's game versus the Maple Leafs and won't return.

Bruins' Andrew Peeke: Sends helper in win
Rotowire
Peeke notched an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.
Peeke has two helpers, three shots on net, 10 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over five appearances this season. He looks to be a fixture on the third pairing to begin 2024-25 after rotating in and out of the lineup regular in his stops with the Blue Jackets and the Bruins last year. Peeke's career high in points is 15 from the 2021-22 campaign, so there is little fantasy upside in his playing style, though he can rack up high totals in hits and blocked shots.

Bruins' Andrew Peeke: Cleared to play Friday
Rotowire
Peeke (finger) will be available for Game 3 against the Panthers on Friday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.
Peeke figures to replace Parker Wotherspoon on the third pairing, though Derek Forbort could also be in danger of being relegated to the press box. Considering the 26-year-old Peeke has managed just one point in his last 15 outings, fantasy players probably shouldn't expect much from him on the offensive end.

Bruins' Andrew Peeke: Not close to returning
Rotowire
Peeke (finger) is a "couple weeks away" from returning, coach Jim Montgomery told Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe on Wednesday.
Peeke had a goal, 10 points, 14 PIM, 88 hits and 78 blocks in 38 rcontests between Columbus and Boston during the regular season. His timetable rules him out for the remainder of the first round, but Peeke might be an option later in the playoffs if the Bruins advance. Boston holds a 3-2 series lead over Toronto heading into Game 6 on Thursday.

Bruins' Andrew Peeke: Suffers finger injury
Rotowire
Peeke was unavailable for the third period of Game 2 against the Leafs on Monday due to an apparent finger injury, Jim McBride of the Boston Globe reports.
Peeke managed just 10:20 of ice time before being forced out of Monday's contest. If the defenseman is unavailable for Game 3 on Wednesday, Parker Wotherspoon might draw into the lineup. It's also possible Derek Forbort (undisclosed) will be activated off long-term injured reserve before the clash against Toronto.

Bruins' Andrew Peeke: Won't travel to Toronto
Rotowire
Peeke (finger) will not make the trip to Toronto for Game 3 or 4 and is officially considered week-to-week, ESPN's Kristen Shilton reports Tuesday.
Peeke recorded just one point in his last 15 games, so few fantasy players will be impacted by his absence. With Derek Forbort (undisclosed) having been recalled from a conditioning assignment with AHL Providence, he could be in line to replace Peeke in the lineup for Game 3 on Wednesday. Mason Lohrei was also called up from the minors and could be in the mix for minutes due to Peeke's absence.

Bruins' Andrew Peeke: Acquired by Bruins
Rotowire
Peeke was traded to Boston from Columbus in exchange for Jakub Zboril on Friday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic. In addition, the Bruins sent a 2027 third-round pick to the Blue Jackets.
Peeke has a goal, eight points, 43 hits and 47 blocks in 23 contests with the Blue Jackets in 2023-24. He might serve on the Bruins' third pairing, but it's also possible Peeke will spend some time as a healthy scratch.
Blue Jackets' Andrew Peeke: Pots first tally of season
Rotowire
Peeke produced an even-strength goal and a shorthanded assist in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins.
The second-period goal was his first of the season, while the points were his first since Jan. 13, snapping a seven-game point drought that had seen him be a frequent healthy scratch. Peeke only drew into the lineup Tuesday due to some missing bodies among the forward ranks, as the Blue Jackets went with seven defensemen, but this performance was good enough that it might earn him a spot among the team's regular pairings.

Blue Jackets' Andrew Peeke: Healthy scratch again Sunday
Rotowire
Peeke was a healthy scratch for Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.
The 25-year-old blueliner drew into the lineup for a few games last week while Erik Gudbranson was ill, but Peeke quickly returned to the press box. On the season, he has only one assist in seven games with a minus-5 rating, but he has contributed 13 hits and 12 blocked shots. With Gudbranson potentially facing a suspension for an incident in Sunday's game, Peeke could find his way back into the lineup, but he's unlikely to make much of an impact.

Blue Jackets' Andrew Peeke: Out of lineup Saturday
Rotowire
Peeke was a healthy scratch for Saturday's win over the Rangers.
Even with Zach Werenski (quadriceps) out of action, Peeke still got bumped from the lineup after recording three hits, three blocked a shots, a minus-1 rating and one bad line change that led to a two-on-nothing rush and a Flyers goal in the Blue Jackets' opener. Top prospect David Jiricek looked very good Saturday in his season debut, so Peeke could have trouble working his way back onto the ice even before Werenski gets healthy.

Blue Jackets' Andrew Peeke: Manages apple in rout
Rotowire
Peeke recorded an assist to complement three blocked shots in Saturday's 8-2 loss to the Canadiens.
Peeke snapped a 10-game point drought with the helper and endured 21:13 of ice time in a game that couldn't end fast enough for the Blue Jackets. The American has collected five goals and six assists through 70 games; those numbers won't excite fantasy managers, but he does have 157 hits and 173 blocked shots to sharpen his defensive profile.

Blue Jackets' Andrew Peeke: Scores Tuesday
Rotowire
Peeke scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Capitals.
Peeke got Columbus on the board late in the first period, firing a shot from the point that Charlie Lindgren couldn't handle. It's Peeke's first goal in eight games and his first point in four. The 24-year-old blueliner has played a fairly consistent top-paring role in Columbus this season but has yet to produce much offensively, with five goals and three assists through 49 games. He has added some physicality with 105 hits and 100 blocked shots.
