25-Year-Old DefensemanD
Calgary Flames
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Before the Flames plucked Pachal off waivers last season, he had seen action in just 29 NHL games over parts of three seasons for the Golden Knights. The 24-year-old blueliner logged 33 contests for Calgary last year, recording one goal, five assists and 81 hits. The undrafted defenseman should be a regular in the lineup this season and does offer some offensive intrigue. Still, Pachal's primary fantasy value will come from his physicality and willingness to put his body on the line. Across a full 82-game season, Pachal could challenge for the 200-hit and 100-block marks. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a two-year, $2.375 million contract extension with the Flames in December of 2024.
Rare multi-point game
DCalgary Flames
March 29, 2025
Pachal scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, logged two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.
ANALYSIS
Pachal helped out on a Yegor Sharangovich tally in the first period and then scored off a feed from Nazem Kadri in the third. This was the first multi-point effort of Pachal's career, and it ended his five-game point drought. The 25-year-old has had to compete with Daniil Miromanov for playing time over the last couple of weeks, with Pachal getting scratched five times since March 19. He's now at three goals, nine points, 56 shots on net, 141 hits, 75 blocked shots, 84 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 66 appearances.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Pachal got into 10 NHL games last season, racking up two assists, 27 hits and 18 shots on goal. He spent the bulk of the campaign with AHL Henderson, posting 15 points in 55 contests while captaining the minor-league team. Pachal will likely be on the outside looking in again for Vegas entering 2023-24, but his leadership and defense could help him compete for a third-pairing role. Given his track record for scoring, he's unlikely to be much of a factor in fantasy even if he can make the Opening Night roster, though an uptick in offense can't be discounted entering his age-24 season.
