Eligibility
Availability
Justin Braun scored a goal on a one-timer to give the Rangers a 3-1 lead against the New Jersey Devils. He had a +1 rating and two hits as well.
Fantasy Impact
Although Braun is a solid player in real life, much of his value comes from his defensive steadiness. He only has 17 points in 64 games, and being on the bottom pairing, he does not merit fantasy consideration.
Former Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Justin Braun has been traded to the New York Rangers for a 2023 third-round pick. Braun is in the last year of a two-year deal, and will be an unrestricted free-agent this offseason.
Fantasy Impact
Braun offers little offensively, but is a strong shutdown defenseman that will push for time on the third pairing. Look for veteran Patrik Nemeth or rookie Braden Schneider to receive reduced roles. He is best left on waivers for fantasy purposes, but will help the Rangers' playoff push, providing a valuable veteran presence.

Flyers defenseman Justin Braun will be sidelined with a groin injury until after the All-Star break, per Brad Keffer of Broad Street Hockey.
Fantasy Impact
A calming presence on the back end, Braun has primarily played on the second line pairing. Not really known for his offense, Braun has chipped in ten points this season in 42 games.
