Fantasy Hockey News

Tyler Seguin scored two goals versus the Jets Monday. Both goals came on the power-play. The first one was the eventual game-winner. Seguin now has 31 goals on the season.

Fantasy Impact: Seguin should have been taken early and owned in a lot of leagues. Seguin should have been taken early and owned in a lot of leagues.

Alexander Radulov recorded two assists Monday versus Winnipeg. His first assist came on the power-play and the eventual game-winner.

Fantasy Impact: Radulov had 72 points last season and is on a strong team. Radulov has been a strong fantasy option.

Radek Faksa scores two goals versus the Jets Monday. He now has 15 goals this season. Faksa was also called for a minor penalty.

Fantasy Impact: Faksa is a low-end fantasy option, mostly in deeper leagues. Faksa only scored 33 points with 36 PIM last season but he also recorded a strong +/- of +21.

Ben Bishop saved 21 of the 23 shots he faced versus the Jets Monday. Dallas would win 5-2.

Fantasy Impact: Bishop is a strong fantasy option. Bishop has been noticeably over .500 in four of the past five seasons with a reasonable GAA.

Dion Phaneuf recorded an assist versus the Flames Monday. He was also called for a minor penalty.

Fantasy Impact: Phaneuf has had a productive NHL career over the past 13 seasons. This season is not going so well.

Trevor Lewis recorded an assist versus Calgary Monday. The assist came on the second Los Angeles goal.

Fantasy Impact: Lewis has been in the league for several years and the 26 points last season was his career-high. Lewis is not much of a fantasy option.

Kyle Clifford recorded an assist versus Calgary Monday. The assist came on the eventual game-winner.

Fantasy Impact: He has now set his career-high with 16 points. Clifford has not been much of a fantasy option before.

Jeff Carter recorded an assist versus Calgary Monday. The assist came on the eventual game-winner. Carter was also called for a minor penalty.

Fantasy Impact: His 31 points this season is a decline from his usual. Carter has a history of producing in seasons where he plays the vast majority of games.

Jonny Brodzinski scored a goal versus the Flames Monday. The goal was his second of the season.

Fantasy Impact: He did not start his season until late February. He has not been much of an option in his young career.

Derek Forbort scored a goal Monday versus Calgary. His second goal of the season was the eventual game-winner.

Fantasy Impact: Forbort did manage a strong +/- of +18 last season though. Forbort is not much of a fantasy option.

Tyler Toffoli scored a goal versus the Flames Monday. The goal was his 13th of the season. Toffoli was also called for a major penalty.

Fantasy Impact: Toffoli's main feature is the number of shots he takes as he has topped 200 SOG in three of the last four season, though he does provide a decent number of points. Toffoli is a solid depth forward in standard leagues.

Jack Campbell saved all 42 shots he faced Monday versus the Flames. Los Angeles won 3-0.

Fantasy Impact: Campbell seems to have won the backup spot. Quick seems secure as the starter.

Darcy Kuemper saved 24 of the 26 shots he faced versus New York Sunday. Arizona lost 2-0.

Fantasy Impact: Kuemper is getting most of the starts because Raanta may be out for the season. He has some value because of his frequency of playing time.

Ovechkin helped Tom Wilson in the first period of the Caps 3-1 win on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: He could have scored his 49th goal as an empty-netter but instead passed the puck to a teammate. The Caps have six more games for Ovechkin to make it to fifty.

Holtby stopped 35 of 36 shots in the 3-1 victory on Sunday, earning first star of the game--well-deserved.

Fantasy Impact: Holtby looks very strong as the Caps approach the playoffs.

Wilson put the Caps on the board in the first period of the 3-1 victory.

Fantasy Impact: Only two penalty minutes in a game that got fairly pushy is a good sign for Wilson. Also, 22 goals are nice.

Vrana scored the final goal of the 3-1 win over Philadelphia.

Fantasy Impact: With 44 points in 75 games (+19) Vrana is worth playing in fantasy.

Dowd helped Travis Boyd for the game-winning goal in second period of the 3-1 win on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Playing on the fourth line, Dowd doesn't get that many chances but his 19 points in 57 games (+8) show that he is making good use of his opportunities.

Connolly helped Jakub Vrana in the third period of the 3-1 victory on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: With seven points in his last five games, Connolly is hot right now.

Jensen helped Tom Wilson in the first period as the Caps took it from the Flyers 3-1.

Fantasy Impact: This was Jensen's first point after a seven-game drought, so he should not be played in fantasy.
