2024 Fantasy Outlook
Prior to the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, Malenstyn was shipped off to Buffalo in exchange for a second-round pick, later signing a two-year, $2.7 million deal with his new club during the offseason. While the hard-working forward set personal bests across the board with 81 games played, six goals, 15 assists and 98 shots on net, he shouldn't be expected to offer much fantasy value given his limited offensive upside. Still, in formats that value hits and blocked shots, the 26-year-old natural center could offer increased value considering he dished out 241 hits while making 93 blocks last year. Even in those competitions, Malenstyn's fantasy utility is limited considering he'll fill a bottom-six role for Buffalo and shouldn't see power-play ice time. Read Past Outlooks

Posts helper Thursday
CBuffalo Sabres
November 8, 2024
Malenstyn notched an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Rangers.
ANALYSIS
Malenstyn ended a five-game slump with the helper. The 26-year-old has played on the fourth line throughout 2024-25, picking up three points, 13 shots on net, 13 blocked shots, 36 hits and eight PIM over 14 contests. His place in the lineup looks fairly secure, but Malenstyn's biggest contributions will come in hits rather than points, so he's only an option in deep fantasy formats.
