2025 Fantasy Outlook
Brazeau was dealt to the Wild from the Bruins in 2024-25 and finished the regular season with 11 goals, 22 points, 123 hits and a minus-9 rating over 76 total appearances between the two teams. The 6-foot-6 forward found in a new home in the offseason, as he signed a two-year, $3 million contract with the Penguins. Brazeau may not be a lineup regular in 2025-26, and the Penguins are expected to finish toward the bottom of the league standings, so it’s best to avoid the right-shot forward in most formats, unless he's able to carve out a middle-six role or better with power-play time.

Upper Body
March 8, 2026
Brazeau (upper body) is day-to-day and won't play Sunday against the Bruins, the Penguins announced.
ANALYSIS
Brazeau played a full complement of ice time in Saturday's game against the Flyers, but he won't suit up for the second leg of the back-to-back due to an upper-body injury. The 28-year-old has 30 points (16 goals, 14 assists) in 48 games on the season. He's the third Penguins regular forward to hit the shelf, joining Sidney Crosby (lower body) and Evgeni Malkin (suspension).

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Brazeau was never drafted and spent the vast majority of his first pro season in the ECHL. He fought his way up the ranks, though, and his hard work was rewarded when he made his NHL debut Feb. 19 at the age of 26. The Ontario native ended up with five goals and seven points across 19 regular-season appearances with the Bruins as well as a goal and an assist in nine playoff contests. Brazeau is never going to be a star, but there's a chance he'll record up to 30 points next season while serving in a bottom-six role with the Bruins.
