28-Year-Old DefensemanD
Edmonton Oilers
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Desharnais got his first taste of NHL action in 2022-23, racking up five assists, 45 hits, 48 blocked shots, 31 PIM and a plus-14 rating in 36 games. He played primarily on the third pairing, averaging just 13:33 of ice time. At 27 years old, Desharnais doesn't project to be much more than a physical blueliner who will likely peak in a bottom-four role. He may get some NHL action in 2023-24, but there's not enough offense here to justify a fantasy roster spot in the vast majority of formats. Read Past Outlooks

Gets on scoresheet with assist

May 16, 2024
Desharnais registered an assist, three hits and four blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks in Game 5.
ANALYSIS
The helper was Desharnais' first point since a two-assist game versus the Ducks on March 30. The 27-year-old defenseman has added 27 hits, 26 blocks, three shots on net and a minus-4 rating over 10 playoff appearances. He continues to play in a bottom-four role as a physical presence, so his lack of production typically won't have an impact on fantasy competitions.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Headed for healthy scratch?
DEdmonton Oilers
May 29, 2024
Desharnais looks poised to serve as a healthy scratch in Game 4 against the Stars on Wednesday after staying on the ice late at morning skate, Ryan Rishaug of TSN reports.
ANALYSIS
All signs point to Desharnais being taken out of the lineup Wednesday in favor of Philip Broberg, who has served as a healthy scratch for the entire postseason thus far. For his part, the 28-year-old Desharnais is pointless in his last five outings while also registering a minus-4 rating and 10 PIM over that stretch. The fact that the Quebec native logged just over 15 minutes of ice time in each of his last two contests would also seem to indicate that he isn't currently fully trusted by the coaching staff.
