Valtteri Filppula scores lone Red Wings goa

Valtteri Filppula scored the lone Red Wings’ goal in their 4-1 loss to the Devils on Tuesday. He was a minus one with one goal on three SOG in 16:51 of ice-time. Filppula now has six goals and 15 assists in 64 games this season.

Fantasy Impact

Filppula is in a chase with former teammate Andreas Athanasiou for leagues worst plus/minus. Filppula now must be the favorite going forward because he is still a Red Wing. His -41 is still better than Athanasiou’s -43.

Valtteri Filppula nets a shorty

Valtteri Filppula scored a shorthanded goal in the Red Wings 4-3 loss to the Senators on Tuesday. He had one goal, one assist, two PIM and one SOG in 14:13 of ice-time.

Fantasy Impact

Filppula may not be a fantasy asset but he is an extremely useful player on just about any team. He can play in any situation which is a major plus. Look for him to be dealt at the deadline.

Valtteri Filppula scores his first goal of the season

Valtteri Filppula scored a goal in the Red Wings 5-4 overtime loss to the Blues on Sunday. In 18:25 of ice-time, he had one goal on two SOG.

Fantasy Impact

Filppula returned this offseason to the Red Wings after a six year absence. He has no fantasy value playing for a team that truly only has two must start players.
