Oliver Kapanen scores first career NHL goal

Oliver Kapanen scored his first career NHL goal in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs. The rookie forward's milestone tally came shorthanded in the first period. Kapanen finished the contest with two shots on goal and three hits.
Fantasy Impact:
The 22-year-old earned a spot on the roster out of training camp and is currently skating in a third-line role. Kapanen showed significant offensive upside in the SHL last season, notching 35 points in 36 games. While his initial deployment limits his fantasy value to deeper leagues, he is a prospect worth monitoring as he adjusts to the NHL and could see his role expand as the season progresses.
