Maple Leafs' Scott Laughton: Nets first goal with new team
Rotowire
Laughton scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Sharks.
Laughton snapped a 14-game point drought that dated back to his time with the Flyers. The 30-year-old was traded to the Maple Leafs at the deadline, and while he's been a constant in a bottom-six role, offense has been hard to come by. This was his first goal and point for Toronto, giving him a total of 12 tallies, 28 points, 113 shots on net, 154 hits, 42 blocked shots and a minus-21 rating over 70 appearances this season.

Maple Leafs' Scott Laughton: Should be fine despite leaving game
Rotowire
Laughton left Saturday's game against Ottawa midway through the third period and did not return after taking a stick near his eye, Dave McCarthy of NHL.com reports.

Maple Leafs' Scott Laughton: Joining hometown team
Rotowire
Laughton was traded to Toronto from Philadelphia on Friday along with a fourth round and a sixth-round pick in exchange for a 2027 first-round selection and Nikita Grebenkin, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
Laughton joins the Leafs needing to get out of a funk, having scored just once in his last 12 contests. Unless he shifts to the wing, it seems unlikely the Ontario native will take on a top-six role with his new club, though he could get minutes with the No. 2 power-play unit. It would take a strong finish to the season, but the 40-point threshold isn't completely out of the question for the 30-year-old Laughton.

Flyers' Scott Laughton: Scores opening goal Saturday
Rotowire
Laughton scored a goal, blocked two shots and added three hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.
Laughton's tally was inside the first two minutes of Saturday's contest and gave the Flyers their first lead of the game. The 30-year-old center now has 11 goals, 26 points, 95 shots on net and 113 hits in 54 games this season. Laughton's goal Saturday ended a five-game drought without a point. Over the past few contests, he has been skating on Philadelphia's top power-play unit. He is currently on pace to match his point total of 39 from a year ago. Laughton's current role with the Flyers gives him some fantasy value in deep leagues.

After Joel Farabee banged home the rebound on a Laughton shot midway through the first period, the veteran center iced the game with an empty-netter late in the third. Laughton had missed the prior three games while attending to a personal matter, and Monday's multi-point performance was his first since Dec. 29. Despite a diminished role on the power play compared to 2023-24, Laughton is still on pace for his usual output this season, collecting 10 goals and 25 points in 48 appearances.

Flyers' Scott Laughton: Ruled out against Wings
Rotowire
Laughton (personal) will not be in the lineup versus Detroit on Tuesday.
Laughton has been struggling offensively of late, going seven games without finding the back of the net while also managing just one helper over that stretch. Despite the slump, Laughton should still be capable of reaching the 30-point threshold for the fourth consecutive season this year. In his stead, Rodrigo Abols will make his NHL debut in Tuesday's tilt.

The veteran forward is up to eight goals, 21 points, 69 shots on net, 83 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 37 appearances.

Laughton is up to 18 points, 65 shots on net, 80 hits, 20 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 35 appearances. He's a bottom-six forward by nature, but the kind that tends to be trusted by head coach John Tortorella. Laughton is on pace for roughly 40 points, so he can be rostered in deeper fantasy formats.

Flyers' Scott Laughton: Standout four-goal performance
Rotowire
Laughton scored four goals in a 4-1 victory over the Red Wings on Thursday.
Laughton was the man of the hour Thursday. In the second period, he fired a slap shot from the slot on a breakaway that went high on Cam Talbot. Laughton's second goal was a tip-in while shorthanded early in the third period. His third and fourth went into empty nets. It was a career night for the forward, who wired nine shots at Talbot. At 30 years old, Laughton is getting less ice time, and he's playing on the fourth line. However, he continues to contribute occasional offense -- he has seven goals, seven assists and 55 shots over 30 games.

Flyers' Scott Laughton: Lights lamp Wednesday
Rotowire
Laughton scored a goal in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Laughton netted his third goal of the season midway through the first period. However, and even though he's cracked the scoresheet in back-to-back contests for the first time in 2024-25, his fantasy upside should be close to minimal. His lack of consistency and his fourth-line role are two factors that conspire against his fantasy value.

Flyers' Scott Laughton: Slides assist Monday
Rotowire
Laughton notched an assist and two hits in Monday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Golden Knights.
The helper ended a six-game slump for Laughton. The 30-year-old forward has seen his playing time drop -- he's been under 15 minutes in four of the last five games while serving on the fourth line. He's at eight points, 37 shots on net, 66 hits and a minus-13 rating through 22 contests overall. Head coach John Tortorella often shuffles his lines to reward players who are doing well, so Laughton will likely get moved up once his defensive play improves.

Flyers' Scott Laughton: Snags assist in win
Rotowire
Laughton recorded an assist in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Blues.
Laughton snapped a six-game point drought with his helper on Bobby Brink's game-winning goal in the third period. The 30-year-old Laughton continues to see middle-six minutes as usual, though as a defensive forward, he doesn't tend to make a big impact on offense.

Flyers' Scott Laughton: Three points in Thursday's loss
Rotowire
Laughton scored a pair of goals, dished an assist, added five hits and went plus-3 in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Kraken.
Laughton's pair of goals came in the first period, but the Kraken took over in the final 40 minutes. The Flyers' fourth line has been reliable, though that comes with limited ice time that can lead to fluctuations in productivity. Laughton has two goals, two assists, seven shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-1 rating through four appearances this season. He's trusted for heavy defensive minutes at times, and that'll be enough to keep him in the lineup even when he's not scoring.
