2025 Fantasy Outlook
After bouncing between the NHL and AHL in 2022-23 and 2023-24, Wotherspoon played exclusively with Boston last season, producing one goal, six assists, 75 hits, 66 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 55 games. The left-shot defenseman landed a two-year, $2 million contract with the Penguins in free agency, so he should continue to be an NHL regular in 2025-26. However, Pittsburgh has a logjam of players on the back end, so it remains to be seen exactly what type of role Wotherspoon will occupy in 2025-26. The 28-year-old could intermittently serve as a healthy scratch with his new club, so it’s probably best to look elsewhere for non-scoring production outside the deepest of formats.

Signed a two-year, $2 million contract with the Penguins in July of 2025.
Practicing with club
Wotherspoon (rest) took part in Thursday's practice session, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Wotherspoon sat out two of the Penguins' last three contests while resting up for the playoffs. The 28-year-old defenseman has put together a career year for the Penguins, producing personal bests in games (80), goals (three) and assists (27). While Wotherspoon shouldn't be considered an offensive stud, 30 points would be welcome production for a low-end option.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wotherspoon recorded eight assists, 31 PIM, 67 blocked shots and 84 hits across 41 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. If he plays regularly for the Bruins in the upcoming season, he might be a good source of hits and PIM, but there's a good chance he'll spend a fair amount of time as a healthy scratch. For that reason, you would need to be in an especially deep league to find value in him over alternative options at defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to play in World Championship
Wotherspoon was added to Team Canada's roster Friday for the IIHF World Championship.
ANALYSIS
Wotherspoon had three goals, 30 points, 55 PIM, 162 hits and 112 blocks in 80 regular-season appearances with Pittsburgh in 2025-26. The 28-year-old had played in just 108 career regular-season outings going into 2025-26, so his recent campaign was a breakout performance for the late bloomer. Wotherspoon hasn't played for Canada since the under-18 tournament in 2015, when he had one goal and four assists in seven appearances.
