Dewar scored a goal on four shots and added four hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins.
Dewar ended a six-game skid with the tally. He had five points over five contests before the Olympic break, but the time off appears to have sapped his momentum. The 26-year-old is up to 14 goals, 25 points, 99 shots on net, 123 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 63 appearances in the best season of his career to date.

Penguins' Connor Dewar: Two goal, four hit night
Rotowire
Dewar scored two goals in a 6-2 win over the Blackhawks on Thursday. He added four hits.
The forward has 13 goals, eight assists, 80 shots and 95 hits in 52 games this season. Dewar is a fourth-line winger who has surprising fantasy value with his goals-hits combination. It's always a bit of roll of the dice if you're trying to pad that bruise category -- it's tempting to stick in a pylon. But a guy like Dewar, who seems to have decent hands, could deliver you a boost. That is, if you can plug him and let him ride. Trying to market time activations on guys like this is difficult at best.

Penguins' Connor Dewar: Lights lamp twice in win
Rotowire
Dewar scored two goals, one shorthanded, in Monday's 6-3 win over the Kraken.
The checking-line winger gave the Penguins a 2-0 lead midway through the first period before icing things late in the third with an empty-netter. Dewar has been locked in during January, producing five goals, seven points, 16 shots on net, 12 hits, seven blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-7 rating in 10 games, and his 11 goals on the season through 48 contests have already tied his previous career high.

Penguins' Connor Dewar: Pots goal in win
Rotowire
Dewar scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
Every Penguin forward got on the board, including Dewar with a third-period insurance tally. The 26-year-old forward has been pretty good in a fourth-line role this season, earning five points over eight games in January. He's up to a total of nine goals, 17 points, 70 shots on net, 80 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 46 appearances. He's two points shy of matching his career high from 2023-24, split between Toronto and Minnesota.

Penguins' Connor Dewar: Grabs two points Thursday
Rotowire
Dewar tallied a goal, recorded an assist and served two PIM in Thursday's 4-1 win over New Jersey.
Dewar posted his first multi-point game of the season Thursday in an effort highlighted by his goal early in the second period. Following his two-point night, the 26-year-old forward has eight goals, eight assists, 65 shots on net and 76 hits through 42 games this season. He currently has a three-game point streak, his longest run of the season. Unlike a majority of fourth-line players, Dewar has provided relatively consistent offense throughout the course of the season to supplement his solid category coverage. His first full season with the Penguins has been a success thus far, as he sits just three points shy of tying his career-high total. While he looks to add onto his point streak, he has solid value in deep fantasy leagues that value category coverage due to his ability to check multiple boxes statistically.
Dewar picked up a goal in a 4-1 win over the Red Wings on Saturday.
The goal snapped a 12-game drought. Dewar has seven goals, six assists, 74 hits and 62 shots in 40 games this season while averaging 13:39 in ice time. The 26-year-old fourth liner is on a career pace, although his fantasy contributions are limited.

Penguins' Connor Dewar: Available Tuesday
Rotowire
Dewar (undisclosed) will be an option for Tuesday's home matchup against Carolina, according to Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.
Dewar departed Monday's practice early due to an injury, but he's seemingly no worse for wear ahead of Tuesday's contest. The Manitoba native has contributed six goals, 12 points, 69 hits and 55 shots on net over 37 appearances in 2025-26.

Penguins' Connor Dewar: Opens scoring in loss
Rotowire
Dewar scored a goal and added five hits in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Stars.
Dewar ended a four-game slide with the tally. The forward had a brief stint on the top line, but he's back in his more familiar spot on the fourth line now, which will lead to limited scoring chances. He's produced six goals, three assists, 43 shots on net, 55 hits, 14 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 27 appearances.

Penguins' Connor Dewar: Fills empty net
Rotowire
Dewar scored an empty-net goal on four shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Capitals.
Dewar had been limited to one assist over his previous six games. The 26-year-old has filled in nicely as a fourth-line forward, though the Penguins' mounting injury woes could allow him to see more ice time in the near future -- he had a season-high 15:21 in Thursday's win. Dewar is at six points, 29 shots on net and 37 hits through 15 outings, so he has plenty of appeal in banger leagues.

Penguins' Connor Dewar: Scores again Thursday
Rotowire
Dewar scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Panthers.
Dewar has scored in three of the last four games. The 26-year-old is doing an excellent job of securing his place in the lineup over Philip Tomasino. Dewar has four points, 13 shots on net, 17 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through eight appearances. He won't have widespread fantasy appeal, but his recent uptick in offense makes him worth a look in deep formats.

Penguins' Connor Dewar: Deposits goal in win
Rotowire
Dewar scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.
Dewar's two goals this season have come over the last three games. He tied this contest at 1-1 in the first period, answering Conor Garland's opening tally. Dewar has a total of three points, 11 shots on net, 15 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through seven outings. He's a reliable fourth-liner but won't earn widespread fantasy interest unless he gets a better spot in the lineup.

Penguins' Connor Dewar: Nets tying goal
Rotowire
Dewar scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
Dewar scored his first goal of the season at 7:18 of the second period, tying the game at 2-2 just 41 seconds after Evgeni Malkin got the Penguins on the board. The 26-year-old Dewar has occupied a bottom-six role to begin 2025-26, earning two points, seven shots on net, 10 hits, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through five appearances. While he looks to be a regular in the lineup, he'd need to earn a larger role to get on the fantasy radar.

Connor Dewar: Let go by Pens
Rotowire
Dewar wasn't given a qualifying offer by Pittsburgh on Monday and will become an unrestricted free agent.
Dewar was previously in Toronto with Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas, so the move to let him reach free agency comes as a bit of a surprise. In his 17 outings with Pittsburgh, the 26-year-old natural center notched four goals and three assists but lacked a role on the power play. As such, Dewar's fantasy value is somewhat limited, though he should have no problem securing a contract somewhere during the offseason.

Penguins' Connor Dewar: Bags assist in win
Rotowire
Dewar logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.
Dewar had three points over seven outings in April. The 25-year-old forward ended the campaign with four goals, six assists, 55 shots on net, 129 hits and a minus-3 rating over 48 appearances between the Penguins and the Maple Leafs. He'll be a restricted free agent this summer, but he showed enough as a bottom-six forward in his time with Pittsburgh to get a new contract.

Rotowire
Dewar scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and blocked four shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blues.
Dewar ended his six-game goal drought with a second-period tally. The 25-year-old continues to see middle-six minutes with the Penguins, including a season-high 18:55 in Thursday's contest. He's up to four goals, eight points, 47 shots on net, 112 hits, 32 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 42 appearances between Pittsburgh and Toronto this season.

Penguins' Connor Dewar: Lights lamp twice in big win
Rotowire
Dewar scored two goals in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Devils.
The 25-year-old has only three goals on the season, and they've all come in the last two games. Dewar managed only three helpers in 31 appearances for the Maple Leafs earlier this season before being sent to Pittsburgh at the trade deadline, but the depth forward seems to have found a spark with his new club. However, he's never scored more than 11 goals or 19 points in a season, so his hot streak isn't likely to last.

Penguins' Connor Dewar: Dealt to Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Dewar and Conor Timmins were traded to the Penguins from the Maple Leafs on Friday in exchange for a 2025 fifth-round pick, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Due to shoulder and upper-body injuries at various times this season, Dewar was limited to three points over 31 outings with the Maple Leafs. He'll get a fresh start after being traded at the deadline for the second year in a row. He's a physical forward with limited scoring upside, so he'll likely slot into a bottom-six role once he makes his Penguins debut.

Dewar (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Sunday.
The Maple Leafs placed Chris Tanev (upper body) on the IR list in a corresponding move. Dewar will be available to return to the lineup against Pittsburgh on Sunday after missing the last 11 games. He has produced three assists, 27 shots on goal, 18 blocked shots and 78 hits across 29 appearances this season.

Maple Leafs' Connor Dewar: Still sidelined versus Bruins
Rotowire
Dewar (upper body) will remain on the shelf for Tuesday's tilt with Boston, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
Dewar will miss his 10th straight game due to his lingering upper-body issue. With the Leafs currently in the midst of a four-game road trip, it seems unlikely the 25-year-old center will return in the short term, so fantasy players can likely expect him to also be unavailable versus the Rangers and Penguins on Friday and Sunday, respectively -- though he hasn't been officially ruled out.
