Sam Malinski | Fantasy Outlook

Malinski looks to cement top-four role following impressive breakout campaign

Sam Malinski enters his age-28 season following an outstanding 2025 breakout where he posted 41 points (eight goals, 33 assists) with an exceptional plus-47 rating in 86 games. The Colorado blueliner has progressively earned higher responsibility, climbing to top-four minutes at even strength.

Our projection aligns closely with his established baseline, calling for 40 points (eight goals, 32 assists), 164 shots on goal, and 95 blocks over 82 games. Though power-play opportunities remain minimal, his shot volume and defensive engagement provide a stable floor in standard leagues.

Going off the board around ADP 213.50, Malinski stands out as a quality late-round target for fantasy managers filling out their blue line. His combination of reliable point production, elite plus-minus upside, and steady peripheral coverage provides excellent return on draft investment.
