Hurricanes' Jack Roslovic: Lights lamp twice in rout
Rotowire
Roslovic scored two goals on a team-high six shots on net in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Bruins.
The 27-year-old has looked the part of a sniper in the early going for Carolina. Roslovic has never scored more than 22 goals in a season and managed only nine over 59 regular-season contests in 2023-24 split between the Blue Jackets and Rangers, but through the first nine games of the current campaign he's already found the back of the net six times. Those are his only points though, and his 25.0 percent shooting could begin to regress at any time, making him a risky fantasy option despite his recent success.

Hurricanes' Jack Roslovic: Continues to produce Monday
Rotowire
Roslovic scored a goal and fired three shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.
Roslovic has looked more active following a slow start to the season, during which he attempted just two shots in the first two games. He's now recorded multiple shots in five of his last six outings and has found the back of the net four times in that stretch. Fantasy managers would love to see more production in other categories, however, as Roslovic hasn't been of much help to fantasy managers beyond his recent surge in goals. That said, his role as a top-six forward and power-play specialist should give him plenty of chances to produce offensively.

Hurricanes' Jack Roslovic: Scores in win Thursday
Rotowire
Roslovic scored a goal in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flames.
Roslovic has established himself well on the top line alongside Andrei Svechnikov and Sebastian Aho, and he's reaping the benefits of playing alongside two top-tier playmakers since he's scored in three of his last four games. Even though that scoring pace is unsustainable long-term, Roslovic should continue to find plenty of opportunities to produce due to his role as a top-six forward and member of the second power-play unit.

Hurricanes' Jack Roslovic: Scores in back-to-back games
Rotowire
Roslovic scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.
Roslovic got off to a slow start this season with just two shots over his first two outings, but he's been turning things around of late with back-to-back goals in his last two contests while attempting six shots in that span. Roslovic should continue to have plenty of opportunities to produce as a top-six forward, but expectations should be tempered since he's cracked the 40-point mark just twice in his previous eight seasons in the league.

Hurricanes' Jack Roslovic: Lights lamp in Friday's win
Rotowire
Roslovic notched a goal in Friday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.
Roslovic found the back of the net for the first time this season and closed out the scoring midway through the third period with a wrist shot from the right circle following setups from Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Dmitry Orlov. Roslovic should remain in a top-six role for the Hurricanes, but he's not expected to be a primary source of scoring. He hasn't recorded more than 45 points in a regular season throughout his nine-year career.

Rangers' Jack Roslovic: Picks up assist in overtime win
Rotowire
Roslovic recorded an assist in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.
Roslovic was credited with the secondary helper on Alexander Wennberg's tally in overtime. While he hasn't scored in nine games, Roslovic has picked up three assists over his last four contests. The 27-year-old winger began the playoffs in a top-line role, but he's now on the third line after Filip Chytil took his spot alongside Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad. Roslovic is at eight points, 18 shots on net, nine hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 13 playoff appearances, but his scoring chances are likely to be limited as long as he remains in the bottom six.

Rangers' Jack Roslovic: Hands out helper
Rotowire
Roslovic logged an assist in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.
Roslovic set up the first of Mika Zibanejad's two goals in the first period. While he hardly stands out on offense, Roslovic has been steady for the Rangers in the playoffs -- he's on a six-game point streak (three goals, three assists) that dates back to the regular-season finale. The 27-year-old is still in a top-line role at even strength, though he's prone to having shifts skipped depending on the flow of the game.

Rangers' Jack Roslovic: Deposits empty-netter
Rotowire
Roslovic scored an empty-net goal on the power play in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Capitals in Game 4.
Roslovic was able to put the icing on the cake for the Rangers' first-round sweep over the Capitals. The 27-year-old has two goals (both on the power play) and two assists over four playoff contests, and he's added seven shots on net and five hits. Roslovic is seeing top-six minutes at even strength, but he shouldn't be expected to sustain his scoring success as the matchups get tougher later in the postseason. He had just nine goals and 31 points over 59 regular-season outings between the Blue Jackets and the Rangers.

Rangers' Jack Roslovic: Opens scoring Monday
Rotowire
Roslovic scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 4-0 win over the Senators.
Roslovic snapped a four-game point drought with the tally. The 27-year-old winger has been decent for the Rangers with eight points over 19 contests since he was traded from the Blue Jackets. On the year, he has 31 points, 117 shots on net and a minus-10 rating through 59 appearances. Roslovic ended the regular season on the Rangers' top line, but he could be quickly shuffled down the lineup if the team encounters any stumbles in the playoffs.

Rangers' Jack Roslovic: Traded to Rangers
Rotowire
Roslovic was traded from Columbus to the Rangers in exchange for a conditional 2026 fourth-round pick Friday, per Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch.
Roslovic has been battling injuries this year and has only played 40 games for the Blue Jackets. In his last five games he's recorded two goals and four assists. On the year the 24-year-old has six goals and 17 assists. He could slide into a middle-six role for the Rangers upon his arrival in New York.

Blue Jackets' Jack Roslovic: Stays warm Saturday
Rotowire
Roslovic notched a pair of assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Roslovic helped out on tallies by linemates Boone Jenner and Johnny Gaudreau. After sputtering on offense for much of the season, Roslovic has 10 points over his last nine outings since moving to the top line. Although his total offensive output this campaign hasn't been great -- he's up to 20 points, 74 shots on net and a minus-11 rating through 37 contests -- the 27-year-old's worth a look in fantasy as long as he can stay on the top line.

Blue Jackets' Jack Roslovic: Pots game-winning goal
Rotowire
Roslovic scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Rangers.
The goal was just Roslovic's fourth through 34 games. It's been a tough year in which he battled through injuries and was even a healthy scratch in January. Now that he's healthy, Roslovic is starting to turn things around. He has points in five of the last six games for a total of two goals and five assists. During that stretch, he's been well over his season average of 16:11 of ice time in five of six games. He's shooting just 6.2 percent this year and has a career average of 11.8, so Roslovic could be due for further positive regression with his shooting percentage.

Blue Jackets' Jack Roslovic: Picks up assist
Rotowire
Roslovic posted an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Kings.
Roslovic has a goal and two assists, as well as 12 shots on net, over his last three games. He's struggled at times to avoid being a healthy scratch, but the 27-year-old winger has found some success in a top-line role recently. Overall, Roslovic has a modest 13 points with 54 shots on net, 18 hits, 12 PIM and a minus-11 rating over 31 appearances this season.

Blue Jackets' Jack Roslovic: Draws helper in win
Rotowire
Roslovic provided an assist, four shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
Roslovic was rewarded for his goal in Tuesday's loss to the Senators with a move up to the top line. He helped out on Zach Werenski's first-period marker. Roslovic is up to three goals, nine assists, 52 shots on net and a minus-11 rating through 30 appearances this season. He could have some fantasy appeal if he sticks on the top line, but there's little evidence in his 2023-24 campaign that suggests he'll be able to maintain his newfound role.

Roslovic won't play versus New Jersey on Wednesday, but he is close to a return from an ankle fracture. The 26-year-old forward will miss his 21st consecutive game Wednesday.
