Filip Hallander posts three points in Penguins rout of Flyers

The center had a goal and two assists on Wednesday, but his 10:55 ice time and usual shot volume keep him off fantasy radars.

Filip Hallander recorded one goal and two assists on three shots in 10:55 against Philadelphia on Wednesday, September 30, as the Penguins won 7-0. He finished plus-4 with one hit.

The line looks impressive, but Hallander averaged 0.27 points per game over his recent sample and the three points came with no meaningful change in ice time or shot volume. His recent averages show 1.7 shots per game and 13:34 a night, and he has no power-play role (0:20 per game, 14th among all Pittsburgh skaters).

Filip Hallander

The three-point night was a clear outlier for a center who has averaged 0.27 points per game in his recent sample. He played 10:55 on Wednesday, well below his recent 13:34 per game, and his three shots matched his usual 1.7 average. There was no spike in playing time or opportunity that would suggest a new role.

Hallander remains buried on the depth chart with almost no power-play time and limited minutes at even strength. The Penguins have two games left this week, on Saturday and Monday, but his recent goal and assist rates (0.00 and 0.27 per game) leave little reason to expect consistent production. Leave him on waivers.

What to do

• Leave Hallander on waivers, as his 10:55 ice time and lack of power-play work offer no path to consistent fantasy value.

• The three-point night was a normal shooting performance in a blowout, not a sign of expanded opportunity.

• Monitor Pittsburgh's depth chart, but Hallander has no clear route to the minutes needed for fantasy relevance.
