Jake Evans contributes another shorthanded assist in win

Jake Evans recorded a shorthanded assist in Tuesday’s 4-3 victory over San Jose, setting up Joel Armia for the second straight game. With two points in as many outings this month, Evans has already matched his offensive output from January.

Fantasy Impact

Evans has emerged as a shorthanded threat, tying for the league lead with six shorthanded points alongside Sam Reinhart, Anthony Cirelli, and Brandon Hagel. Despite his strong defensive presence, his 11 goals and 16 assists across 53 games limit his fantasy appeal to deeper leagues. However, his ability to rack up shorthanded production makes him a sneaky asset in formats that reward special teams contributions.
