Denton Mateychuk

21-Year-Old DefensemanD
Columbus Blue Jackets
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mateychuk turned pro in 2024-25, supplying nine goals and 25 points across 27 regular-season outings with AHL Cleveland as well as four goals, 13 points, 20 PIM, 44 shots, 26 hits and 63 blocks in 45 appearances with the Blue Jackets. Taken with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, the 21-year-old has tremendous offensive upside, so he's worth keeping a close eye on during training camp. If he secures a regular role on Columbus' power play for the 2025-26 campaign, then a 30-plus point showing is obtainable. However, Zach Werenski is a lock to be the blueliner on the top power-play unit, and defenseman Ivan Provorov will likely find himself as part of the second group, so Mateychuk will have to fight to earn and maintain a role on special teams.

January 5, 2026
Mateychuk notched two assists, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins.
ANALYSIS
Mateychuk has two goals and seven assists over his last seven games, a span that includes three multi-point efforts. The 21-year-old blueliner is up to eight goals, 21 points, 48 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 40 appearances. It took a little time for him to find his stride, but he's emerged as a productive top-four blueliner who can also handle time in all situations.
