NHL.com point projection: 65<\/p>\n
Theodore, who set NHL career-highs with 57 points, 50 assists and 19 power-play points in 67 games last season, was tied for 10th in points, ninth in assists, fifth in points per game (0.85; minimum 10 games) and fifth in primary assists (28) among defensemen last season. Since 2022-23, Theodore ranks ninth at his position in points per game (0.83; 140 points in 169 games) and fifth in assists per game (0.71). The 30-year-old, who ranked third on Vegas in power-play ice time per game (2:39) and was second in ice time per game at all strengths (22:00) behind Alex Pietrangelo (22:24), could lead the team in each category this season with Pietrangelo unable to continue his playing career because of a lower-body injury. Theodore is a fringe top-15 fantasy player at his position and should be considered in the top 100 overall, thanks to the Golden Knights’ second-ranked power play (28.3 percent) last season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NHL.com point projection: 65 Theodore, who set NHL career-highs with 57 points, 50 assists and 19 power-play points…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":107559,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":["post-107558","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107558","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107558"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107558\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/107559"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107558"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107558"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107558"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
