5 months agoVeteran winger Tanner Pearson has inked a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Vegas Golden Knights. The 32-year-old earned the deal after impressing in preseason while on a professional tryout contract. Pearson has produced two goals and three points in four preseason outings with the Golden Knights. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect the same level of productivity from Pearson during the regular season. However, it's nice to see the veteran getting another opportunity in the league after running into serious health issues a couple of years back. Pearson has skated in only 68 games across the previous two campaigns, recording 18 points (six goals, 12 assists).

10 months agoMontreal Canadiens left wing Tanner Pearson will be on the move as a free agent this summer. According to NHL insider David Pagnotta, the Canadiens have decided against extending Pearson, who spent one season in Montreal. The 31-year-old was acquired from Vancouver ahead of the 2023-24 campaign. Pearson recorded 13 points (five goals, eight assists) in 54 regular-season outings. Things didn't go well for Pearson in Montreal, but he should draw plenty of interest on the open market as a player who averaged 0.50 points per game just a couple of seasons ago. The veteran winger boasts 138 goals and 285 points in 644 career games.

Pearson had a below-par start to the campaign before getting injured, and he won't be in a great position to perform in his comeback either, as the 31-year-old is slated to join the fourth line. The 2014 Stanley Cup winner has tallied only four goals and four assists in 27 games in 2023-24.
