Fantasy Impact: Nylander’s absence will leave head coach Craig Berube without an explosive offensive option against the Capitals, with Dakota Joshua replacing the talented winger in the lineup.
Connor Hellebuyck (knee) has undergone an arthroscopic procedure and will miss four-to-six weeks according to Darren Dreger. (Source: Darren Dreger on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Hellebuyck’s absence between the pipes should thrust backup netminder Eric Comrie into the No. 1 role until further notice. Prior to the injury, Hellebuyck had posted a 2.51 GAA and .913 save percentage in 14 starts (8-6-0) in the crease so far this season.
