Pierre-Olivier Joseph

A few injuries disrupted Joseph's 2025-26 campaign, but he wasn't a full-time option when healthy. He produced a goal, five assists, 22 shots on net, 18 hits and 28 blocked shots over 31 contests, and he had a minus-16 rating. Joseph mainly played a bottom-four role on a weak team, so the lack of quality production should come as no surprise. He's three years removed from a 21-point campaign with the Penguins in 2022-23, and it's becoming increasingly likely that Joseph is little more than a rotational third-pairing option in the NHL. He could approach 10 points with 50-plus blocks and a poor plus-minus rating, even if he's able to see steady playing time. Read Past Outlooks
