5 years agoMontreal Canadiens left wing Ilya Kovalchuk picked up two assists during a 4-3 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night. The veteran Russian sniper now has three points in two games with his new team. Kovalchuk was playing alongside Max Domi and Nick Suzuki on the second line, which bodes well for his offensive exploits. Although the 36-year-old is no longer a premium fantasy asset, he has slight value in deep fantasy leagues due to his deployment in the Canadiens' lineup. Suzuki also produced a goal and an assist in the contest. The reeling Canadiens will look to right the ship on Thursday against the Edmonton Oilers.--Raymond Harrison - RotoBaller
