Tony DeAngelo nets overtime winner against Lightning
by Bruno Mulé | Islanders Correspondent | Sun, Feb 2nd 2:00pm EST
DeAngelo played hero for the Islanders on Saturday, scoring the game-winning goal just 33 seconds into overtime to secure a 3-2 victory over Tampa Bay. He broke free behind the Lightning defense after receiving a stretch pass from Bo Horvat and finished with a smooth breakaway goal past Andrei Vasilevskiy.
Fantasy Impact:
DeAngelo has now tallied two points (one goal, one assist) in four appearances since rejoining the lineup. He’s benefiting from Noah Dobson’s (lower body) absence, seeing top-unit power-play time and increased minutes. However, once Dobson returns, DeAngelo’s role could be reduced, potentially shifting him to the second power-play unit. Fantasy managers looking for short-term blue-line production should consider him, but his long-term value remains tied to Dobson’s status.
