Fantasy Impact

Pinto's start to the season has been incredible, but his current pace is unsustainable given his career-high of 21 goals. The most encouraging sign for his fantasy value, however, is his usage. Pinto logged over five minutes of power-play time Wednesday, more than stars like Tim Stutzle and Jake Sanderson. The team is clearly riding his hot hand, making him a must-roster player in all formats. Managers should enjoy the production but also recognize him as a prime sell-high candidate.

Pinto set career highs with 21 goals and 37 points last season, and this stellar opening-night performance suggests he could be on the verge of a true breakout campaign. His role in the top-nine forward group appears secure, and he has a knack for scoring timely goals. He is a player to target on the waiver wire, as his fantasy stock is clearly on the rise.
