Dewar scored an empty-net goal and added three hits in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.
Dewar has seen an uptick in ice time lately, and he's been on the top line at even strength over the last four games. The 26-year-old has typically been a bottom-six option throughout his career, so a gig alongside Sidney Crosby is uncharted territory for Dewar. He's earned a larger look this season, picking up five goals, three assists, 39 shots on net, 46 hits and an even plus-minus rating in 22 appearances. He's worth a look as a streamer in deep fantasy formats as long as he's on the top line.

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.

Penguins' Connor Dewar: Deposits goal Thursday
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: Offers assist Friday
Rotowire
Dewar provided an assist, four shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
Dewar is up to three goals and an assist over six contests with the Penguins. The 25-year-old forward has quickly moved up the lineup after being an occasional healthy scratch when he wasn't on injured reserve for the Maple Leafs prior to the trade deadline. Dewar has seven points, 39 shots on net, 93 hits, 24 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 37 appearances in 2024-25. Even with a larger role in Pittsburgh, there's no guarantee his current success on offense will last.

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: Gets goal in win
Rotowire
Dewar scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Blues.
The goal was Dewar's first of the campaign and his first point over three contests as a Penguin after he was traded from the Maple Leafs. He's in a third-line role in Pittsburgh compared to the limited fourth-line action he got in Toronto. For the season, the 25-year-old depth forward has four points, 32 shots on net, 85 hits and a minus-1 rating over 34 appearances.

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.

Maple Leafs' Connor Dewar: Activated from IR
Rotowire
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.

Maple Leafs' Connor Dewar: Could be back Sunday
Rotowire
Dewar (upper body) will not play Saturday against the Hurricanes but could return Sunday against Chicago, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
Dewar's been sidelined with an upper-body injury since Jan. 22, though he's "close," according to coach Craig Berube. The 25-year-old Dewar has three assists in 29 games with Toronto this season.

Maple Leafs' Connor Dewar: Out with upper-body issue
Rotowire
Dewar will not be in the lineup against Columbus on Wednesday due to an upper-body injury, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
Dewar is currently stuck in a season-long goal drought, going all 29 games without finding the back of the net. When he has played, the 25-year-old center managed just three helpers, 78 hits and 18 blocks while averaging a mere 10:07 of ice time. With Dewar out, in addition to Max Pacioretty (upper body), Ryan Reaves figures to see some additional minutes.

Rotowire
Dewar notched an assist and six hits in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers.
Dewar has two helpers over his last four contests. The 25-year-old forward has also contributed 31 hits over his last six games, providing plenty of physicality in a fourth-line role. He's at three assists, 24 shots on net, 67 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 23 outings overall.

Maple Leafs' Connor Dewar: Chips in with helper
Rotowire
Dewar provided an assist and four hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Islanders.
Dewar ended a seven-game point drought that also saw him sit out twice as a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old has been limited to fourth-line duties this year, so it's unlikely he'll put up significant scoring numbers even at the best of times. He's logged two assists, 22 shots on net, 51 hits and a minus-1 rating through 20 appearances.

Maple Leafs' Connor Dewar: Recalled, activated of LTIR
Rotowire
Dewar (shoulder) was recalled from his conditioning stint with AHL Toronto and activated off long-term injured reserve Friday.
Dewar's promotion and activation comes after Auston Matthews (upper body) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Even with his return to the NHL roster, the 25-year-old Dewar is far from a lock to suit up against the Red Wings on Friday and may have to watch from the press box as a healthy scratch. Still, Dewar notched a goal and an assist during his conditioning assignment and could offer decent offensive upside in a bottom-six role if he can edge out Ryan Reaves, Steven Lorentz or David Kampf for a spot in the lineup.

Maple Leafs' Connor Dewar: Moves to LTIR
Rotowire
Dewar (shoulder) was placed on long-term injured reserve Wednesday, PuckPedia reports.
Dewar was placed on injured reserve Monday while he continues to recover from offseason shoulder surgery, and he'll be unavailable for several weeks to begin the regular season after being transferred to long-term injured reserve. The 25-year-old skated with his teammates last week, but it's not yet clear when he'll be in the mix to return to game action.
