Parker Wotherspoon

28-Year-Old DefensemanD
Pittsburgh Penguins
2025 Fantasy Outlook
After bouncing between the NHL and AHL in 2022-23 and 2023-24, Wotherspoon played exclusively with Boston last season, producing one goal, six assists, 75 hits, 66 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 55 games. The left-shot defenseman landed a two-year, $2 million contract with the Penguins in free agency, so he should continue to be an NHL regular in 2025-26. However, Pittsburgh has a logjam of players on the back end, so it remains to be seen exactly what type of role Wotherspoon will occupy in 2025-26. The 28-year-old could intermittently serve as a healthy scratch with his new club, so it’s probably best to look elsewhere for non-scoring production outside the deepest of formats.

Finds twine early in win
DPittsburgh Penguins
January 20, 2026
Wotherspoon scored a goal and added three hits in Monday's 6-3 win over the Kraken.
ANALYSIS
Wotherspoon ended a seven-game point drought with the tally. It was his first goal since Nov. 16 versus the Predators, and he earned eight helpers over the 28 contests in between goals. The 28-year-old defenseman is still having a career year with three goals, 13 assists, 46 shots on net, 97 hits, 74 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 48 outings in a top-four role.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wotherspoon recorded eight assists, 31 PIM, 67 blocked shots and 84 hits across 41 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. If he plays regularly for the Bruins in the upcoming season, he might be a good source of hits and PIM, but there's a good chance he'll spend a fair amount of time as a healthy scratch. For that reason, you would need to be in an especially deep league to find value in him over alternative options at defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Projected healthy scratch Thursday
DBoston Bruins
November 9, 2023
Wotherspoon remained on the ice after the morning skate, per Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald, which suggests he might be scratched Thursday versus the Islanders if Derek Forbort, who has been dealing with a lower-body injury, is good to return.
ANALYSIS
Forbort is probable to play Thursday, but a determination isn't expected to come until the pregame warmups. Wotherspoon has an assist in three contests with Boston this season. He's also contributed an assist in six outings with AHL Providence in 2023-24.
