Eligibility
Nikita Zadorov tied the game in the third period with his first goal of the season, however it wasn't enough as the Dallas Stars won the game 4-3 in overtime on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Nikita Zadorov, who has been a healthy scratch many times this season, also added an assist in the loss.
Nikitia Zadorov registered his fourth goal of the season and the fourth goal in a 6-1 road win over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night. He racked up a goal, an assist, a plus-1 rating, and two shots through 19:13 of TOI.
Fantasy Impact
Burakovsky was moving the puck into the offensive zone and decided to put on the binders and bring the Sabres with him. This left Zadarov open and cruising in from the blue line for an easy back hand goal. It should of been stopped by Hutton, but a goal is a goal. He's up to 13 points this year.
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.
Zadorov had two assists in Colorado's 5-2 loss to San Jose. He played a total of 21:21 minutes and had two shots and three hits in the game.
Fantasy Impact
The assists were his first points in seven games. In 44 games played he still has not scored a goal this season and has eight assists with a minus-17 rating.
