Alex Newhook records two assists in win

Fantasy Impact

Newhook is off to a solid start with four points (1G, 3A) through seven games while skating in a middle-six role. His fantasy ceiling is capped, as he has seen his power-play time all but disappear this season with the team's increased forward depth. However, he is benefiting from an improved supporting cast and is on pace to set a new career-high, making him a viable option in deeper fantasy formats.
