Latest news
Pelech scored a goal on three shots, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.
This was Pelech's first goal of the season. The 32-year-old defenseman has added two assists, 17 shots on net, 13 hits, 24 blocked shots, 19 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 13 appearances. Pelech could be in line for increased defensive duties if Ryan Pulock (upper body) is forced to miss time with the injury he sustained Thursday. While Pelech has topped the 20-point mark four times in his career, his heavy playing style often leads to missed time, making him unreliable in most fantasy formats.

Pelech has earned four helpers, 28 shots on net, 20 hits, 15 blocked shots and 18 PIM during a 16-game goal drought. He continues to provide steady defense in a top-four role. He's produced 16 points, 118 shots on net, 122 blocked shots, 64 hits, 48 PIM and a plus-4 rating over a career-high 79 games played this season.

Pelech scored a shorthanded goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.
Pelech got the Islanders' second goal on a feed from Jean-Gabriel Pageau in the third period. The 31-year-old Pelech doesn't add a lot on offense, but he continues to be an effective top-four defenseman in his own zone. He's at four goals, 12 points, 90 shots on net, 106 blocked shots, 44 hits and a plus-6 rating over 63 appearances this season.

Pelech logged an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Penguins.
Pelech has earned three assists and a plus-5 rating over his last six games. The 31-year-old doesn't add much on offense, but he's providing steady defensive play in a top-four role as a shutdown blueliner. For the season, he's at 10 points, 81 shots on net, 100 blocked shots, 37 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-8 rating across 57 outings.

Pelech scored a goal Saturday in a 4-3 overtime win over Toronto.
It was Pelech's third goal and sixth point of the season (42 games). During the 2024-25 regular season, he put up 21 assists in 60 games. Pelech's fantasy value lies in his ability to block shots. He put up one Saturday to bring his season total to 71, but in the absence of offense, he's a tough one-category activation.

Pelech scored the game-winning goal and recorded three blocks in Tuesday's 2-1 win over New Jersey.
Pelech delivered in the clutch Tuesday, as he tallied the game-winning goal with just 75 seconds remaining in the contest. With the game-winning twine finder, he is up to two goals, five points, 54 shots on net and 60 blocks across 37 games this season. While the 31-year-old blueliner is having a down year offensively, he has two goals and three points over his last 10 games, which is a vast improvement from the scoreless streak he had in November. Pelech also offers solid category coverage, averaging just under two blocks and shots per game. With his offensive numbers taking a turn in the right direction, he could see some value in deep fantasy category leagues if he can stay the course.
