Signed a two-year contract with the Panthers in January of 2024.
Snaps slump Thursday
Balinskis posted two assists in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.
ANALYSIS
Balinskis ended a 15-game point drought with a helper on Mackie Samoskevich's second-period goal. Later in the frame, Balinskis set up a Brad Marchand tally as well. It's been an interesting second season for Balinskis, who has mostly been a third-pairing defenseman for the Panthers. He's managed 17 points, 88 shots on net, 79 hits, 52 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating. He's not currently part of the power-play mix but has averaged 59 seconds per game with the man advantage in 2024-25 after getting a couple of looks in that role earlier.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Balinskis made his NHL debut last season with the Panthers, picking up a goal and two assists in 26 regular-season appearances. Balinskis started the season with the Panthers, playing in 18 of 29 games, before he was demoted to AHL Charlotte. He scored three times while adding 18 helpers in 37 contests with the Checkers before he was recalled to finish out the regular season. Balinskis is likely a sixth or seventh defenseman at best with the Panthers this season, and could see more AHL action to keep him sharp. He has little fantasy value in 2024-25.
