2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hamilton was still bothered by injuries in 2024-25, but he was able to avoid a season-ending issue. The defenseman put up nine goals, 31 assists, 15 power-play points, 85 blocked shots, 74 hits and a plus-8 rating over 64 appearances last season, and he was able to shake off a late injury in time to return during the playoffs. Hamilton's injury risk has to be baked into expectations for his production in fantasy, as he's missed significant time in four of the last six seasons. It's also worth acknowledging that Luke Hughes is only going to get better over time, which will infringe on Hamilton's ice time and scoring, especially on the power play, in the coming years. The 32-year-old Hamilton will still be a major factor as a veteran on a young and promising team, but he's not someone fantasy managers should rely on too much. Read Past Outlooks

First point since return
Hamilton registered an assist in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 2.
ANALYSIS
This was Hamilton's third game back after a long-term, lower-body injury that cost him 18 contests. The 31-year-old has operated in a top-four role during the postseason, adding three shots on net, four hits and a blocked shot over the first two playoff games. He's also on the first power-play unit again, as Luke Hughes (upper body) was unable to play Tuesday. Hamilton is a solid DFS option even as the Devils look a little outmatched in this first-round series.

A long-term pectoral injury that required surgery limited Hamilton to a mere 20 games last season, setting him up as a potential bounce-back candidate heading into 2024-25. Prior to getting hurt, the blueliner was on pace for a second straight 65-point campaign on the heels of a career-best 2022-23 season in which he generated 22 goals and 52 helpers in 82 regular-season contests. The biggest question facing Hamilton heading into training camp was going to be whether he could reclaim a spot on the No. 1 power-play unit after Luke Hughes excelled in that role during his rookie campaign, however, a shoulder injury will now sideline Hughes for the first 6-8 weeks of the season, opening the door for Hamilton to stake claim to that No. 1 spot. Still, if Hamilton finds himself relegated to the second group later in the year, he could struggle to produce at that 60-point pace this season. Free-agent signing Brett Pesce could further cut into Hamilton's minutes, something fantasy managers will want to monitor during the preseason.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Returning Wednesday?
Hamilton, who has been out with a lower-body injury, might be available versus Detroit on Wednesday, per Mike Morreale of NHL.com.
ANALYSIS
According to Morreale, the Devils won't be holding a morning skate, so fantasy managers will have to wait until closer to puck drop for an official update on Hamilton. Even if he doesn't play in the regular-season finale, the fact that he is at least under consideration should set him up to rejoin the lineup for Game 1 against Carolina.
