Benjamin Kindel | Fantasy Outlook

Kindel looks to build on rookie campaign as a depth scoring option for Pittsburgh

At 19 years old, Benjamin Kindel enters the season looking to cement a regular middle-six role with Pittsburgh after posting 17 goals and 35 points across 87 games last year. His offensive instincts and willingness to generate offense provide long-term upside as he continues to develop at the NHL level.

Kindel established a modest peripheral profile in his debut campaign, compiling 154 shots on goal and 59 blocked shots while adding 10 power-play points. Secondary special-teams usage gives him sneaky value, though limited physical engagement and plus-minus volatility keep his floor modest.

Our season projections forecast a stable stat line of 17 goals, 18 assists, and 35 points over 77 games with 151 shots and 12 power-play points. Rostered in roughly 14% of leagues, Kindel is primarily a deep-league target and dynasty stash rather than a standard-draft priority.
