2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kessel has played in 70 regular-season games for the Blues over the last three years, earning a total of 10 points with 48 shots on net, 62 hits and 89 blocked shots. That gives a good perspective on what he might do if he is able to secure a full-time NHL role, but there's no guarantee that will happen in 2025-26. Kessel will be in contention for a third-pairing spot for the Blues in 2025-26, competing with Tyler Tucker and Logan Mailloux for minutes. At 25 years old, Kessel is unlikely to be anything more than a depth option in the NHL, which doesn't lead to much fantasy value. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $1.6 million contract extension with the Blues in March of 2024.
Sets up lone goal in loss
Kessel notched an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Avalanche.
ANALYSIS
This was just his second appearance in the last 12 games. Kessel has fallen out of favor for a third-pairing role, with Tyler Tucker and Logan Mailloux most often getting looks in those spots instead. Kessel has three points, 11 shots on net, seven hits, 10 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 19 contests this season. Even if he claims a regular role in the lineup, he's unlikely to produce enough of anything to help fantasy managers.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Kessel joined the NHL squad when the calendar flipped to 2024 after a successful half-season with AHL Springfield. The 2020 fifth-round pick played nearly every game the rest of the way, recording seven points, 40 hits and 65 blocked shots across 39 games. While general manager Doug Armstrong stated this offseason that he feels comfortable with Kessel on the right side, the team also signed veteran Ryan Suter and Pierre-Olivier Joseph. Kessel will need to earn the job on the third pairing now, but his defensive acumen makes him a strong candidate for the role.
