2025 Fantasy Outlook
Viel accounted for 13 goals, 37 points and 148 PIM in 68 regular-season games with AHL Providence in 2024-25. He has suited up in 54 career NHL contests while contributing three tallies, two assists, 153 PIM and 124 hits. The 28-year-old forward averaged a mere 7:41 of ice time in five NHL appearances with Boston during the 2024-25 regular season, earning 14 PIM and 12 hits. He can help out a bit in physical categories in a pinch, but he will probably spend the majority of the 2025-26 campaign in the minors.
