Bruins' Trent Frederic: Considered week-to-week
Rotowire
Frederic is considered week-to-week due to a lower-body injury, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports Thursday.
Frederic exited Tuesday's game against the Maple Leafs due to an injury that has now been revealed to be a lower-body issue that will force him to miss additional time. While the 27-year-old is likely facing a multi-game absence, the injury isn't expected to change the Bruins' plans for him ahead of next week's trade deadline, so Frederic is still a candidate to be moved in the final year of his contract.

Bruins' Trent Frederic: Tallies in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
Frederic scored a goal, added two hits and logged a fighting major in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Lightning.

Bruins' Trent Frederic: Picks up assist
Rotowire
Frederic logged an assist, four hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Panthers.
Frederic has two points over his last five games, but that's also all of his offense since a two-goal game Dec. 7 versus the Flyers. The 26-year-old forward is at 13 points, 63 shots on net, 128 hits, 37 PIM and a minus-9 rating through 45 appearances. That rough style of play may make him an option in deeper fantasy formats, but his offense isn't likely to be consistent.
Frederic scored a goal in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Toronto.
Frederic snapped an 11-game goal drought. He has struggled to produce this campaign with 12 points (six goals, six assists) through 41 games after establishing career highs offensively in 2023-24 with 18 goals and 40 points across 82 regular-season appearances. Frederic is unrosterable right now for offensive purposes.

Bruins' Trent Frederic: Picks up helper in loss
Rotowire
Frederic notched an assist and four hits in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Penguins.
Frederic ended a five-game point drought when set up Charlie Coyle at 1:24 of the first period. The 26-year-old Frederic has four points over 14 outings in November, with his struggles a product of the Bruins' larger issues on offense. Frederic is up to seven points, 36 shots on net, 69 hits, 21 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 25 appearances. He should be able to hold onto a third-line role given his checking abilities, but he's unlikely to repeat his 40-point campaign from 2023-24.
Frederic scored twice Saturday in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Blues.
He had gone 17 consecutive games without a goal (Oct. 8 in Florida). His first marker Saturday was off a rebound in tight; the second was a tip of a point shot. Frederic has three points (two goals, one assist) in his last two games, and that microburst has doubled his season point total. Much more was expected after he put up 40 points last season, but Frederic has really struggled so far (three goals, three assists; 19 games), much like the rest of his team. Right now, there are a lot better options for your squad.

Bruins' Trent Frederic: Lights lamp Tuesday
Rotowire
Frederic scored a goal on two shots, added four PIM and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Panthers.
Frederic is no stranger to the rough stuff -- he had 204 hits and 69 PIM in addition to a breakout year with 40 points in 82 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. The 26-year-old forward figures to be a consistent middle-six option for the Bruins this season. He also featured on the second power-play unit Tuesday, which could last throughout the campaign since the Bruins are relying on less proven options to fill out their bottom six. Frederic's biggest competition for power-play time is defenseman Hampus Lindholm, who is more likely to see time with the man advantage when the Bruins are nursing a lead.
