Bruins' Parker Wotherspoon: Pockets helper in Game 1 win
Wotherspoon logged an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in a 5-1 win over the Panthers on Monday in Game 1 of the second round.
Wotherspoon has played in six straight games since entering the lineup for Game 3 of the first round. The helper was his first point since March 26. The 26-year-old defenseman will continue to work in a bottom-pairing role, so there's not much fantasy appeal in his game. He's earned 11 hits, 11 blocked shots, six shots on net and a plus-1 rating in the postseason after recording eight helpers, 84 hits and 67 blocks over 41 regular-season appearances.

Bruins' Parker Wotherspoon: Secures one-year extension
Wotherspoon inked a one-year, $800,000 contract extension with Boston on Friday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.
Wotherspoon had been splitting the sixth-defenseman role with Kevin Shattenkirk for much of the season but injuries to Hampus Lindholm (lower body) and Derek Forbort (undisclosed) have seen Wotherspoon pressed into service more frequently of late. He's collected six helpers and 67 hits through 32 games with the Bruins this year.

Bruins' Parker Wotherspoon: Grabs rare point
Wotherspoon logged an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and five PIM in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Oilers.
Wotherspoon had an eventful second period, fighting Corey Perry and then helping out on a Jake DeBrusk tally after the penalty expired. The 26-year-old Wotherspoon could be in the lineup for the rest of the Bruins' road trip, as Hampus Lindholm (undisclosed) is not traveling with the team and Matt Grzelcyk (lower body) was injured Wednesday. Wotherspoon has four helpers, 17 shots on net, 18 PIM, 52 hits and 45 blocked shots through 24 outings, so he's unlikely to be very useful in fantasy.

Bruins' Parker Wotherspoon: Back at practice
Wotherspoon is practicing with the Bruins on Wednesday, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports, indicating he's been recalled from the minors.
It appears Wotherspoon's demotion was nothing more than a paper transaction that likely saved the Bruins a bit of long-term cap space or kept him waiver exempt after he previously passed through waivers back in October. Either way, the blueliner was on the ice for practice Wednesday and might be an option to play versus Pittsburgh on Thursday.

Wotherspoon has an assist in three NHL games this season, and he's added six blocked shots and four hits. It's possible Derek Forbort (lower body) could be ready for Thursday's game versus the Islanders, but the Bruins will still need to call up at least one defenseman for that contest.

Islanders' Parker Wotherspoon: Stapled to the bench
Wotherspoon has been a healthy scratch for 17 straight games.
The Islanders are in a battle for one of the final two playoff spots in the Eastern Conference, which hasn't allowed any room for a rookie defenseman to have any on-the-job training. The fact that the team doesn't seem to mind keeping Wotherspoon wasting away in the press box rather than playing in the AHL might tell you all you need to know about how they feel about his future. He would be playing somewhere if he were a top prospect for the organization.

Islanders' Parker Wotherspoon: Healthy scratch for 13 straight
Wotherspoon has been a healthy scratch for 13 straight and 15 of the last 16 games.
The Islanders have been crushed by injuries, but it's to their forward corps, not the defense. Wotherspoon has appeared in 12 games this season, and although he's only registered one point, an assist, he has logged a rating of plus-5. He is currently the seventh defenseman for the Islanders and will likely continue to be a healthy scratch until one of the team's top-six defenders either suffers an injury or needs a night off to rest.

Islanders' Parker Wotherspoon: Healthy scratch once again
Wotherspoon was a healthy scratch for the eighth straight game Saturday versus the Canadiens.
This scratch was also the 10th time in 11 games that Wotherspoon has been relegated to the bench. One could argue that it might be much more beneficial for the young defender to play every day in the AHL rather than once in a blue moon in the NHL. On the season, Wotherspoon has one point, an assist, with a rating of plus-5 in 12 games for the Islanders.

Islanders' Parker Wotherspoon: Healthy scratch once again
Wotherspoon was a healthy scratch for the fourth straight game Saturday versus the Golden Knights, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
The Islanders' sixth spot on the blue line has been a revolving door. The season started with Robin Salo in the role; then it went to Sebastian Aho, Wotherspoon, and now Samuel Bolduc. Aho has solidified himself as that sixth defender when the defensive corps is healthy, something that is expected to be the case when the Islanders return to action Feb. 6. As a result, Wotherspoon could find himself remaining a healthy scratch as the seventh defender or back in the AHL, barring additional injuries on the back end.
