2024 Fantasy Outlook
A bottom-six agitator, Pezzetta had 242 hits last season despite the fact he appeared in just 61 games. The offensive production (three goals, 12 points) was predictably non-existent, but Pezzetta did provide a consistent physical element on Montreal's fourth line. The 26-year-old would likely be amongst the league leaders in hits if you could rely on him being in the lineup on a nightly basis, but that's far from a guarantee. As a result, Pezzetta is best served as a streamer for those in daily leagues looking to pick up a boatload of hits in short order. Read Past Outlooks

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Montreal's pletheora of injuries in 2022-23 allowed Pezzetta to rack up 15 points in 63 contests, numbers similar to his 11 points in 51 outings a year before. He's been just a fourth-line player over those two campaigns, and it's tough to expect a massive breakout at age 25 given his lack of a prominent role. If the Canadiens can stay relatively healthy as a team, Pezzetta may not even have a place in the lineup on a nightly basis. He will provide plenty of physicality after racking up 239 hits last season, and a two-year contract gives him some job security, but he's not an option for fantasy managers.

Likely scratch Wednesday
CMontreal Canadiens
November 29, 2023
Pezzetta is slated to be a healthy scratch Wednesday versus Columbus.
ANALYSIS
Pezzetta has a goal, three points, 14 PIM and 54 hits in 17 contests while averaging 7:48 of ice time this campaign. He was in the lineup for Montreal's past five games. Joel Armia is expected to draw into the lineup Wednesday as a member of the fourth line, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Pezzetta dress Thursday against Florida, possibly at Armia's expense.
