Thomas Vanek lone Red Wing goal scorer

Thomas Vanek netted two goals in the Red Wings 5-2 loss to the Blues on Thursday. He scored two goals on five SOG in 14:45 of ice-time.

Fantasy Impact

Vanek's goal scoring ability was on show tonight. His best days are long gone. He now sits at 373 career goals. He is no longer fantasy relevant at age 35 but if he finds the right spot in 2019-2020 he could find himself draftable once again.

Thomas Vanek scores in second straight

Thomas Vanek scored the lone Red Wings goal in their 6-1 loss to the Panthers on Sunday. He was a minus one with one goal, one PPG, two PIM and two SOG in 13:19 of ice time.

Fantasy Impact

Vanek came to the Red Wings this season on a one year contract with a no trad clause. He is going to be picky where he plays next year. He currently has 371 career goals. It would not be surprising if he chased 400 over the next two seasons.

Thomas Vanek scores on the power-play

Thomas Vanek scored the Re Wings opening goal in their 3-2 loss to the Lightning on Saturday. He had one power-play-goal on three SOG while logging 17:15 of ice-time.

Fantasy Impact

Vanek was once an elite goal scorer. Those days are behind him. Though he still has some of the ability the Red Wings are clearly not a team that can tap into it. He has 13 goals and 19 assists thru 57 games.

Thomas Vanek plays well despite loss

Thomas Vanek scored a goal in the Red Wings 6-5 overtime loss to the Flyers on Saturday. He was a plus two with one goal on three SOG in 13:55 of ice-time.

Fantasy Impact

Vanek is a good candidate to be dealt before the deadline. He is now 35 years old on a team with no playoff aspirations. Depending on a destination his fantasy value may change. At this point in time his 12 goals and 17 assists in 51 games is just not rosterable.

Thomas Vanek scores a meaningless goal

Thomas Vanek scored a goal with less than five seconds remaining in the Red Wings 4-3 loss to the Knights on Thursday. He was a plus one with one goal on four SOG in 16:45 of ice-time.

Fantasy Impact

Vanek is an asset the Red Wings need to consider to trade before the deadline. He now has 11 goals and 15 assists thru 46 games. He has at least one point in seven of his last eight games.
