4 years agoMontreal Canadiens forward Jesperi Kotkaniemi picked up two assists in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Winnipeg, producing his fourth multi-point performance on the season. Phillip Danault and Paul Byron notched the goals. This was Kotkaniemi's second game as the first-line right wing. He has joined forces with Danault and Tomas Tatar. The trio combined for Montreal's first goal Thursday night. The 20-year-old has been stuck on the third line for most of the season, so this a major move for him, and plenty of fantasy managers are already capitalizing on it. Kotkaniemi has a solid four-game week coming up, which should nicely boost his points tally. He's on 19 points for the year in 37 games with 65 shots and 53 hits.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
