Fantasy Impact

The 27-year-old Dzingel experienced what could be considered a mini-breakout last season in his third full year in the NHL. We've seen a steady upward trend in his production so far in his career; jumping from 32 points to 41, up to last season's 56 (26 of which were goals). The most encouraging part of this trend is that 21 goals and 45 of his points from last season were at even-strength. If Dzingel's talent can translate at even strength in Ottawa of all places, it's easy to be optimistic about his prospects in Carolina with what's become an intriguing group of young forwards.

Ryan Dzingel scored his first goal of the post-season Saturday, as Columbus would lose Game Five to Boston 4-3. The Blue Jackets will be facing elimination for the first time during these playoffs in Game Six Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Dzingel has been very quiet this post-season as he only has one point in eight games played. He will need to step it up to help his team avoid elimination in Game Six this upcoming Monday night at home.
