Ready to rock
O'Brien (lower body) will play against Nashville on Monday, per Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune.
ANALYSIS
O'Brien will occupy a bottom-six role and provide some physicality in the lineup after missing the last 14 games. He has produced two assists, 31 shots on goal, 98 hits and 50 PIM in 27 appearances this season. O'Brien's return will bump Kailer Yamamoto to the press box as a healthy scratch.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2018
O'Brien has settled into a role as a depth regular for the former Coyotes. He appeared in 75 games last season, posting career-best marks in goals (five), assists (nine), points (14), shots on goal (72), hits (228) and blocked shots (33). Clearly valuing O'Brien's contributions, Utah inked him to a new three-year contract in late June worth $1 million annually. O'Brien offers zero fantasy value in standard formats, but he's almost certainly going to post north of 200-plus hits over the course of a full year, making him a reasonable final-round selection for those needing help in that area.
