Brandon Montour scored twice and blocked three shots in Thursday’s 6-2 win over San Jose. He broke a 20-game goal drought early in the second period with the eventual game-winner, then added a power-play tally later in the frame.

Montour’s production had slowed down significantly, with just five assists and a minus-13 rating over his previous 20 games. Despite the slump, he continues to hold a top-four role and contributes across multiple categories. Now up to 10 goals, 27 points, and 147 shots through 52 contests, he remains a solid fantasy asset in leagues that reward shot volume and category coverage.

Brandon Montour recorded an assist, six shots on goal, and two blocked shots over a team-high 24:16 of ice time. He also played 3:21 on the power play.

Montour’s heavy workload and consistent production across multiple categories solidify his value as a reliable fantasy defenseman. Despite the loss, his offensive contributions and peripherals make him a must-start in all formats.

Brandon Montour recorded three points for the Panthers Saturday, scoring one goal and picking up two assists in a 9-2 win over the Lightning.

Fantasy Impact

Montour has struggled to make a consistent impact in the offensive zone, picking up points in just four of his last 12 games (two goals, four assists) for the Panthers. The defenseman remains a risky lineup option for fantasy managers desperate for blueline help, posting 15 points (three goals, 12 assists) while tallying 52 hits in 39 games so far this season.

Florida Panthers defenseman Brandon Montour recorded an assist on Tuesday's loss versus the Chicago Blackhawks.

Montour also skated a massive 28:24 on the night, recorded two shots on goal, and notched a hit as well. He's going to see massive ice time -- both even strength and on the top power-play unit -- in the absence of Aaron Ekblad while he's recorded three points in as many games since returning from an upper-body injury.

Florida Panthers defenseman Brandon Montour will return to the lineup Friday versus the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Fantasy Impact

Montour missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but returns for Friday's rivalry tilt. With Aaron Ekblad placed on long-term injured reserve, Montour figures to play a massive role on the Panthers blueline as well as on the top power-play unit. Fantasy managers would be wise to consider scooping him up off the waiver wire.
