March 1, 2026

Kindel scored a goal, distributed an assist, placed three shots on net and recorded two blocked shots in Sunday's 5-0 win over Vegas.

ANALYSIS
Kindel placed the game's opening tally on the scoreboard with just over five minutes remaining in the first period before later sliding the primary assist on Justin Brazeau's goal late in the third. Overall, Kindel now has 15 goals, 14 assists, 120 shots on net and 47 blocked shots across 56 games this season. The 18-year-old rising star has provided consistent offense with nine points in his last nine games, and he has also thrived defensively, ranking 22nd among NHL forwards in blocked shots this season. Kindel is a must-roster player in all dynasty formats and can also make an impact in various standard leagues while his current stretch of play lasts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

PIT

Slated to be healthy scratch

CPittsburgh Penguins

November 26, 2025

Kindel might be a healthy scratch for Wednesday's game against Buffalo, per Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

ANALYSIS
Kindel has five goals and eight points in 19 appearances this season. The 18-year-old rookie was taken with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. The occasional game off is understandable for a young forward, and he'll probably get back into the lineup soon. In the meantime, Ville Koivunen is set to draw back into the lineup Wednesday after missing Pittsburgh's last three games due to a lower-body injury.
