Rangers' Jonny Brodzinski: Nets goal in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Brodzinski scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Wild.
Brodzinski snapped a seven-game goal drought, during which he had one assist, when he scored at 6:38 of the third period. His goal gave the Rangers a short-lived lead, but they won anyway on a Braden Schneider tally in overtime. Brodzinski continues to see regular ice time in a fourth-line role as well as a little power-play usage. He's now at a career-high seven goals while adding six assists, 46 shots on net, 21 hits and a plus-9 rating over 35 appearances this season.

Rangers' Jonny Brodzinski: Earns assist Saturday
Rotowire
Brodzinski notched an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Senators.
Brodzinski had been held off the scoresheet in the previous four games. The 31-year-old set up an Artemi Panarin tally on the rush in the third period. For the season, Brodzinski has 12 points, 39 shots on net, 21 hits and a plus-9 rating over 32 appearances. He's holding down a bottom-six job, though it's possible the Rangers will scratch him at times to give younger players a look, especially if the team falls out of the playoff race.

Rangers' Jonny Brodzinski: Two goals and helper in win
Rotowire
Brodzinski recorded two goals, an assist, a plus-3 rating, two shots on goal and three hits in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Islanders.
Brodzinski gave the Rangers a 2-1 lead at the 12:39 mark of the first period with a one-timer from the top of the right circle, and he doubled his tally in the final seconds of the first frame with a wrister. The 31-year-old winger also assisted on Matt Rempe's goal, one that closed the scoring late in the second period. This was Brodzinski's first multi-point effort of the season, and he's up to 11 points in 27 games in 2024-25.

Rangers' Jonny Brodzinski: Adds helper in win
Rotowire
Brodzinski produced an assist and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Bruins.
Brodzinski has two points over his last three games since he took over as the third-line center. The 31-year-old is up to a total of eight points, 26 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 23 appearances. His ice time is still pretty limited, so it's unlikely he'll be consistent enough to help in most fantasy formats, especially with a lack of non-scoring production.

Rangers' Jonny Brodzinski: Scores in loss
Rotowire
Brodzinski scored a goal in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Bruins.
Brodzinski may have a clearer path to playing time in the wake of the J.T. Miller/Filip Chytil trade. Miller is playing in a top-six role, leaving the third-line center spot open, and that's where Brodzinski filled in Saturday for his first appearance since Jan. 11. Brodzinski has seven points, 26 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 21 outings this season. He's not an overly physical player and likely won't add much offense either, so he doesn't need to be rostered in most fantasy formats.

Rangers' Jonny Brodzinski: Puts up helper Saturday
Rotowire
Brodzinski logged an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights.
Brodzinski set up Adam Edstrom for the game-winning goal at 5:57 of the third period. Brodzinski has two points over four consecutive games in the lineup. He may stick for a while because Chris Kreider (upper body) and Filip Chytil (upper body are unavailable. For the season, Brodzinski has supplied six points, 25 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 20 appearances in a bottom-six role.

Rangers' Jonny Brodzinski: Draws in, scores goal
Rotowire
Brodzinski scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Brodzinski took the place of Chris Kreider (upper body) in the lineup Sunday. It paid off almost immediately, as Brodzinski's goal tied the game at 1-1 at 15:12 of the first period. The 31-year-old forward has frequently served as a healthy scratch or emergency fill-in when the Rangers are down a forward. He's at three goals, two assists, 22 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 17 appearances. His lack of a secure spot in the lineup makes Brodzinski too risky for most fantasy formats.

Rangers' Jonny Brodzinski: Could earn more playing time
Rotowire
Brodzinski has been in the lineup for just three of the Rangers' 11 games in December.
While Brodzinski has been a frequent scratch, he could see more time in a bottom-six role while Matt Rempe serves an eight-game suspension. The 31-year-old Brodzinski has just four points over 16 appearances in 2024-25 after putting up 19 points over 57 regular-season contests in 2023-24. Even if he plays more frequently, Brodzinski is unlikely to be a factor in most fantasy formats.

Rangers' Jonny Brodzinski: Tallies in Wednesday's loss
Rotowire
Brodzinski scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Brodzinski has two points while playing in five of the Rangers' last six games. The 31-year-old isn't a big scorer, but he's fine at filling a bottom-six role when called upon. For the season, he has four points, 14 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 12 appearances. Brodzinski will likely stay in the lineup until one or both of Filip Chytil and Chris Kreider are able to return from their respective upper-body injuries.

Rangers' Jonny Brodzinski: Delivers assist in win
Rotowire
Brodzinski registered an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.
Brodzinski has played the last two contests, filling in for Filip Chytil (upper body), after a five-game stint in the press box. The 31-year-old Brodzinski is unlikely to see anything more than bottom-six minutes -- he's played on the third line in the last two games as head coach Peter Laviolette has elected to keep his fourth line intact. Brodzinski has three points, 10 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over nine appearances, and he could be a healthy scratch again once Chytil gets the all-clear to return to the lineup.

Rangers' Jonny Brodzinski: Scores first of season
Rotowire
Brodzinski scored a goal on one shot and blocked one shot in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Canadiens.
Brodzinski, who returned to the lineup after being a healthy scratch Saturday, was in the right place at the right time to score his first of the season. The play was set up by a pretty back pass from Adam Edstrom behind the Montreal net. Brodzinski has two points through four appearances.

Rangers' Jonny Brodzinski: Bags goal in loss to Isles
Rotowire
Brodzinski scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 5-2 preseason loss to the Islanders.
Brodzinski opened the scoring for the Rangers less than seven minutes into the first period with a wrister from long range that bounced off Semyon Varlamov's back before going in. Brodzinski recorded six goals and 19 points in 57 regular-season appearances in 2023-24, and he figures to center one of the Rangers' bottom-six lines in the early stages of the 2024-25 campaign.

Rangers' Jonny Brodzinski: Scratched last two games
Rotowire
Brodzinski was a healthy scratch for the last two games of the regular season, and he finished the campaign with six goals and 19 points in 57 appearances.
Brodzinski watched fan favorite Matt Rempe play each of the Rangers' last two games as the team clinched the Presidents' Trophy, and those two players will likely rotate between the fourth line and press box throughout the playoffs. Brodzinski blew past his previous career highs of 35 appearances and six points, which the 30-year-old forward set with the Kings back in 2017-18, during the 2023-24 regular season.
Brodzinski scored his fifth goal of the season in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Islanders,
The second-period tally ended up being the game-winner, and it snapped a 13-game goal drought for the 30-year-old winger. Brodzinski is having his most productive NHL season yet, but that's not saying much -- he has 16 points through 47 games, with both of those numbers being career highs.
Brodzinski signed a two-year, $1.575 million contract extension Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Brodzinski has four goals, 15 points and 62 shots in 37 contests this season. The 30-year-old usually serves as a bottom-six forward while seeing some time on the second power-play unit. Brodzinski's likely to maintain that role through the life of his new deal.

Rangers' Jonny Brodzinski: Another two-shot game
Rotowire
Brodzinski had two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Monday's 2-1 overtime win over the Avalanche.
Brodzinski posted a goal and an assist in a 7-2 win over the Senators prior to the All-Star break, but he was held off the scoresheet Monday as the Rangers returned to action. Monday's win marked the fifth consecutive game in which Brodzinski had exactly two shots on goal, and he has posted that exact mark in seven of the last eight. The 30-year-old forward needs to dress in four more contests to tie his career high of 35 NHL appearances, set in 2017-18 with the Kings.

Rangers' Jonny Brodzinski: Minimal production lately
Rotowire
Brodzinski had two shots over a team-low 9:20 of ice time in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Brodzinski came in hot with three multi-point games in his first seven outings after being recalled from the AHL, but he has just two assists over 11 subsequent games and no points in his last five. His ice time has decreased as well, as Brodzinski has played 9:20 or less in three of the past four games.
