2025 Fantasy Outlook
Acciari enters the final season of his three-year Penguins deal with one clear job: bring the grit. He'll kill penalties, throw the body, and maybe pot a few hard-earned goals in the process. The 33-year-old winger's 20-goal season in 2019-20 was an outlier, as he hasn't exceeded 10 goals in any other campaign and mustered just 12 points across 79 games in 2024-25. Once recovered from a hip injury that cost him the final three games of last season, Acciari will likely be a staple of Pittsburgh's bottom six, but his fantasy value is minimal in most formats.

Signed a three-year, $6 million contract with the Penguins in July of 2023.
Dealing with core muscle injury
Acciari will miss the start of training camp due to a core muscle injury, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports Thursday.
ANALYSIS
According to Dave Molinari of Pittsburgh Hockey Now, Acciari is still expected back during preseason, so he should be cleared before Opening Night against the Rangers on Oct. 7. When in the lineup last year, the 33-year-old Acciari notched five goals, seven assists and 75 shots in 79 regular-season contests. With the Pens looking to get younger this year, Acciari could find himself serving plenty of time in the press box as a healthy scratch.

Injuries limited Acciari to only 55 games for the Penguins last season, including missing the final 12 contests while dealing with a lower-body issue. Even when he can stay fit, the veteran center has only reached the 25-point threshold once in his nine-year NHL career. The addition of Kevin Hayes in free agency figures to firmly cement Acciari in a fourth-line role this upcoming season - though he could be an option to move to wing if needed. Regardless of where he lines up, Acciari shouldn't be expected to produce much in terms of fantasy value.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Ice time could diminish
Acciari, who suffered an undisclosed injury at the end of the 2024-25 season, may struggle to get into the lineup under new head coach Dan Muse, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Acciari is 33 years of age, hasn't hit the 20-point mark in either of his two seasons in Pittsburgh and will be an unrestricted free agent coming out of the 2025-26 campaign. All of that seems to point toward Acciari's future being elsewhere, especially with the team hiring Dan Muse, whose remit will be to bring along the club's up-and-coming prospects. Don't be surprised to see Acciari sitting in the press box periodically this year in favor of youngsters like Philip Tomasino, Ville Koivunen and Rutger McGroarty.
