Fantasy Impact

Egor Iakovlev seems to be carving his own niche out with the Devils. Iakovlev has 1 goal and 3 assists through 8 games in addition to 7 assists in 7 games in the AHL. For a KHL veteran not known for his offensive output these numbers are a pleasant surprise. Iakovlev is a sneaky pickup and play in deep leagues.

Egor Iakovkev scored his first career goal in the 2nd period of the Devils 5-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Monday night.

Fantasy Impact

Egor Iakovlev, welcome to the NHL.! The 27-year old rookie out of Magnitogorsk, Russia scored his first NHL goal against Tampa on Monday night. Iakovlev,a veteran of the KHL, now has 8 games under his belt and 1 goal and 2 assists through that. Before his call-up to the NHL, Iakovlev had 7 assists in 7 games in the AHL. Iakovlev has moderate scoring potential and if he gets consistent playing time could have some value in deep fantasy leagues.
