2025 Fantasy Outlook
Balinskis suited up in 76 games during the 2024-25 campaign before making five playoff appearances. During the regular season, he accounted for four goals, 18 points, 92 shots, 55 blocks and 83 hits. Balinskis became a depth defender in the postseason and could have a similar role in 2025-26. However, he will compete for a third-pairing spot during training camp. Balinskis has some upside as a high-volume block and hit producer, but his offensive abilities are limited. He’s a potential waiver-wire addition if his role becomes more defined. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year contract with the Panthers in January of 2024.
Rare goal in win
Balinskis scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.
ANALYSIS
Balinskis got on the scoresheet for the first time in six games with the opening tally in Sunday's win. The 29-year-old defenseman's first goal of the season gives him five points, 18 shots on net, 29 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 19 appearances this season. Balinskis remains in competition with Jeff Petry and Donovan Sebrango for time on the third pairing.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Balinskis made his NHL debut last season with the Panthers, picking up a goal and two assists in 26 regular-season appearances. Balinskis started the season with the Panthers, playing in 18 of 29 games, before he was demoted to AHL Charlotte. He scored three times while adding 18 helpers in 37 contests with the Checkers before he was recalled to finish out the regular season. Balinskis is likely a sixth or seventh defenseman at best with the Panthers this season, and could see more AHL action to keep him sharp. He has little fantasy value in 2024-25.
