James Neal
LW - STL
2021 Outlook
Eligibility
James Neal scored his first two goals on the year in Sunday nights win against the Senators.
Fantasy Impact
Neal has had a rough start to the year. Through six games he has three points, two goals and one assist. It's hard to sit him when he is on one of the most lethal power plays in the league, however.
Neal assisted Alex Chiasson in the first period as the Oilers lost 3-2 in overtime to Edmonton.
Fantasy Impact
Although he plays on the fourth line, there could be some value in a cheap forward who has 31 points in 54 games (-20).
Neal helped Alex Chiasson in the first period as the Oilers won 4-1 on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
The fourth-liner is accumulating points (30 in 53 games) but -21 on the ice is not pretty.
Neal netted the only goal with an Oilers empty net in the 2-1 loss.
Fantasy Impact
At 23 points in 37 games (-16), the winger is not a recommended choice for fantasy.
Neal scored at the end of the third period but it was not enough as the Oilers were defeated 6-5 on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
With 22 points in 34 games, Neal might be acceptable in fantasy but he is -15 on the ice.
