Nikita Zadorov

Nikita Zadorov decided to take a page from Mark Boroweicki's play book and dish out a team-high six hits in Colorado's 3-1 road win over the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Fantasy Impact: Zadorov isn't know for putting up goals and assists but his production in the hits department from the rear guard is fantasy relevant. He regularly see's around 18 minutes TOI and can help fantasy managers if they value hits. With the Avs playing winning hockey, he won't snow you in plus/minus either, which is the usual downfall of a heavy hitting defenseman.

Zadorov had six shots on net and finished the game with an even rating during Colorado's 5-1 loss to Anaheim.

Fantasy Impact: It was a pretty good accomplishment for Zadorov finishing with an even rating in 17:46 minutes of ice time as the Avalanche struggled by allowing five goals to the Ducks. He has three assists in his last three games and the six shots are the most he has had this season.
