The 25-year-old appears to have just needed some time to build chemistry with his new teammates.

McLeod scored an empty-net goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks. - McLeod has scored in three straight games, and his point streak is at four contests thanks to an assist last Saturday versus the Panthers. The center seems to have settled in with his new team after a short adjustment period. He's picked up nine shots on net, three hits and a plus-4 rating over seven appearances. For fantasy purposes, his lack of a power-play role reduces his upside, but the Sabres haven't scored with the man advantage yet, so changes could be coming to the personnel in that situation. |

McLeod scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets. - The Sabres are 1-4-1 to start the year, but they've gotten more depth contributions over the last three games. In that span, McLeod has two goals and one assist, accounting for all of his offense this season. The third-line center has added eight shots on net and a plus-4 rating, so it's safe to say he hasn't been as responsible for the Sabres' struggles in their own zone. McLeod's upside is limited as long as he remains out of the power-play mix, but he's averaging a career-high 15:57 of ice time that could still allow for him to build on his 30-point campaign over 81 regular-season outings last year. |

McLeod scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins. - McLeod's Sabres career got off to a slow start with no points over his first three games.

McLeod had 12 goals and 30 points across 81 regular-season contests, but he was likely to be relegated to the fourth line for 2024-25 after Edmonton re-signed Adam Henrique and brought in free agents Viktor Arvidsson and Jeff Skinner. McLeod might earn a role on Buffalo's third unit. |

Given his lack of production, it's no surprise he remains in a bottom-six role with minimal power-play time. |

The 24-year-old's exclusion from the lineup was a one-game thing, and he made good on an opportunity by scoring in the first period to begin the Oilers' comeback. McLeod had 30 points in 81 regular-season outings in a middle-six role. His main contributions come from speed and penalty killing, so he shouldn't be expected to generate steady offense moving forward. |

McLeod recorded an assist and two PIM in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Capitals. - McLeod saw just 10:42 of ice time in the contest, the lowest among the Oilers' forwards. There was no report of an injury, so his usage is concerning since he started the game on the second line. The 24-year-old has moved around the lineup a lot amid an inconsistent campaign, though he has five points over his last six outings. Overall, McLeod is at 25 points, 85 shots on net, 53 hits and a plus-14 rating through 63 outings. He's played best when on the second line, but getting back in that role with Adam Henrique around is going to be a challenge for McLeod. |

McLeod produced an even-strength goal and a shorthanded assist in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres. - The 24-year-old opened the scoring early in the first period before setting up Warren Foegele for a tally later in the frame, but it was all the offense the Oilers could muster.

McLeod notched an assist and went plus-3 in Monday's 6-3 win over the Coyotes. - McLeod ended his nine-game point drought when he set up the second of Evander Kane's two goals in the third period. The 24-year-old McLeod found some success on Leon Draisaitl's wing in December and January, but that hasn't translated to the Ontario native being able to drive play on his own line. McLeod has 20 points, 68 shots on net, 42 hits and a plus-12 rating through 51 outings this season, and he likely peaks at being a supplementary scorer in the Oilers' lineup. |

McLeod produced an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Islanders. - McLeod has played a number of roles this season, but he was back in his natural center position on the third line Thursday. He set up Dylan Holloway's second-period tally, which stood as the game-winner. McLeod hadn't recorded a point over his first five games back from a high ankle sprain that kept him sidelined for nearly a month. The 23-year-old forward has nine points, 32 shots on net, 16 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 27 contests. Barring injuries to top-six forwards, McLeod will likely stay in no better than a third-line role. |

McLeod logged an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Wild. - McLeod had the lone helper on a Zach Hyman tally late in the third period.

The Oilers' forward trios have been fairly fluid with head coach Jay Woodcroft often deploying a seven-defensemen lineup. McLeod has 11 points, 41 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 39 contests, though he's worth a look in deeper fantasy formats as long as he's in a top-six role. |

McLeod logged an assist in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Capitals. - McLeod was given a second-line assignment Wednesday, and he had the secondary helper on Leon Draisaitl's opening goal just 1:30 into the game. The 22-year-old McLeod has struggled to make much of an impact on offense in a bottom-six role, but he's clearly made an overall impression on head coach Dave Tippett. McLeod has five goals, three assists, 32 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 31 games. He may have some appeal as a budget play in DFS while on the second line, but the uncertainty in McLeod's role will make him a risky option in season-long formats. |

McLeod has exited the NHL's COVID-19 protocols and will play Wednesday versus the Blues, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports. - McLeod will return to his usual bottom-six role. The 22-year-old has three goals in 18 appearances this year, so his return probably won't move the needle in fantasy. |

He's filled in for Derek Ryan (concussion) on the third line in recent games, but McLeod is at risk of moving down the lineup without consistent performances. Fantasy managers likely don't need to rush to add him at this stage of the season. |

McLeod scored a goal in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Blues. - Just eight seconds after Ryan Nugent-Hopkins put the Oilers ahead in the second period, McLeod followed up with his first NHL tally.

He's averaged just 8:03 of ice time per game. |

McLeod was promoted from AHL Bakersfield on Monday. - McLeod could get an extended look at the NHL level with Devin Shore (lower body) expected to miss 4-6 weeks.
