Joel Armia scores shorthanded goal in win over Sharks

Joel Armia found the back of the net while shorthanded in Tuesday’s 4-3 victory over San Jose. The veteran winger has now tallied two shorthanded goals in as many games to begin February, already surpassing his goal total from January. Armia skated on the third line Tuesday as part of Montreal’s shuffled forward combinations.

Fantasy Impact

Armia continues to provide sneaky value in deeper formats with his special-teams production, contributing three shorthanded and three power-play points this season. While his overall scoring remains modest at 10 goals and 24 points through 53 games, his versatility and middle-six role offer occasional fantasy streaming appeal, particularly in leagues that reward shorthanded scoring.
