Flames' Brayden Pachal: Stuck in point drought
Rotowire
Pachal went a 13th straight game without a point in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Panthers.
The Flames have scored more than three goals just twice in that span, so it's not like there's a lot of offense to go around. Pachal has added 25 hits and 16 blocked shots during his slump. For the season, the 25-year-old defenseman is at six points, 47 shots on net, 131 hits, 70 blocks, 80 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 59 appearances. The silver lining is that his dry spell on offense has not cost him a spot on the third pairing yet.

Rotowire
Pachal logged an assist, six hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
Pachal has earned three points, 20 hits, 15 blocked shots and 15 PIM over nine outings in January. That's fine production for a physical defenseman who is firmly on the third pairing. Pachal is up to five points, 40 shots, 106 hits, 54 blocks and 64 PIM through 46 contests this season. The 25-year-old can help in banger leagues but doesn't score enough to be worth making a move for in standard fantasy formats.

Rotowire
Pachal was held off the scoresheet for the 18th straight game in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Islanders.
Pachal earned a helper Opening Night versus the Canucks, but he hasn't gotten on the scoresheet since.

Pachal may be lacking in offense, but he has 50 hits, 25 blocked shots, 17 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 19 outings, so he's still contributing in the non-scoring areas.
