Fantasy Impact
Sparks, well, sparkled in 2017-18 with a 1.79 GAA and .936 save percentage in 43 AHL games for the Toronto Marlies. It's a bit overambitious to draft him, but fantasy players should certainly monitor him on the waiver wire in the early part of the season as a spot-starter in favorable matchups.
