Fantasy Impact
Tom Kuhnhackl doubled his goal total on the season with his game winning goal against the Capitals. Kuhnhackl has three points in 12 games played this season, and has little to no fantasy value at this point in the year.
Tom Kuhnhackl got his second assist of the year on Brock Nelson’s first period short handed goal in the Islanders 6-2 loss to the Penguins on Thursday night.
Fantasy Impact
Tom Kuhnhackl appears to be getting time on a line with Mathew Barzal and Anthony Beauvillier which could help his anemic point totals (3 goals and 2 assists in 17 games). Kuhnhackl typically is on the third or fourth line or even a healthy scratch. With this pairing with offensive-minded forwards Kuhnhackl could exhibit some of the offensive skills he has shown in the OHL and AHL but until it is clear that he is getting consistent time with Barzal and Beauvillier it is best to leave him on the waiver wire.
Tom Kuhnhackl scored two goals in the Islanders 5-2 win over Vancouver on Tuesday night. Kuhnhackl’s first was in the first period and his second in the third period.
Fantasy Impact
Tom Kuhnhackl was the unlikely scoring star of Tuesday night’s game. Kuhnhackl who isn’t known for his scoring acumen put in 2 goals to bring his season totals up to 3 goals and 1 assist in 7 games. The grinding, German-born winger was playing on the third line with Valtteri Filppula and Leo Komarov on Tuesday and if Kuhnhackl can play there consistently he may start to get more points. All that being said, Kuhnhackl is not worth your fantasy consideration.
Tom Kuhnhackl assisted on Brock Nelson’s second period goal in Saturday night’s loss to the Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
Tom Kuhnhackl got his first assist of the season on Saturday to go with one goal on the season. Kuhnhackl doesn’t play often enough to be of any value for fantasy league purposes.
