Rafael Harvey-Pinard

26-Year-Old Left WingLW
Pittsburgh Penguins
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Harvey-Pinard enters the 2025-26 campaign as a fringe roster player for the Penguins after signing a one-year deal with the club in the offseason. In fact, the 26-year-old winger only managed to break into the Canadiens' lineup once last year, recording one hit in 8:54 of ice time. Considering Harvey-Pinard wasn't significantly more productive in the minors -- 19 points in 40 regular-season contests -- he will likely face an uphill battle to secure regular minutes with the NHL squad. Still, if the Pens ship out a forward before the season, it could open up a bottom-six role for the 2019 serventh-round pick. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Penguins in July of 2025.
Ready for training camp

Harvey-Pinard (upper body) is not listed among the injured players on the Penguins' training camp roster released Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Harvey-Pinard is set to compete for a fourth-line role for the Penguins after the Canadiens declined to give him a qualifying offer in June. The 26-year-old winger saw action in just one NHL game in 2024-25, so it's likely he'll see some time with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Harvey-Pinard underwent surgery in July to repair a broken leg. His recovery timeline of four months will shelf him for the entirety of training camp and at least the first month of the 2024-25 campaign. In 45 appearances last season, he earned two goals, 10 points, 47 blocked shots and 47 hits. Harvey-Pinard showcased much more potential in 2022-23 when he notched 14 tallies and 20 points in 34 outings, but his 24.1 shooting percentage was unsustainable. However, he didn't give himself much chance to replicate his success by dropping his shots per game from 1.71 to 0.58. Once the 25-year-old forward is ready to return from his leg injury, he could play up and down the lineup again. Harvey-Pinard could be worthy of a waiver pickup during stretches when he heats up offensively.
Harvey-Pinard was able to turn the Canadiens' injury woes into a feel-good story for himself last year. He made his season debut Jan. 17 and only missed two games before a late demotion to AHL Laval near the end of the campaign. In his 34 NHL games, he produced 14 goals and six assists with 58 shots on goal, 57 hits and 56 blocked shots, production that earned him the occasional top-line look. Simply put, Harvey-Pinard will not be shooting 24.1 percent or averaging 17:14 of ice time per game in 2023-24 -- there's no guarantee he even begins the year in the NHL. Ideally, he'd slot into a middle-six role as a power forward with roughly average offense, but fantasy managers would be better off not chasing last year's percentage-driven production.

Harvey-Pinard will play Thursday versus the Flyers, John Lu of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
This will be Harvey-Pinard's second stint with the big club this season. He had a goal in three games when the Canadiens were dealing with a sizable COVID-19 outbreak around New Year's. The 23-year-old, who was selected in the seventh round in 2019, is expected to play in a second-line role for Thursday's contest.
