6 years agoToronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly had a goal and an assist in a 5-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night. Rielly set the modern-day NHL record for points by a defenseman through his first five games of a season with 12, which passed all-time great Bobby Orr. The Maple Leafs have been ridiculous to start the season and Rielly is one of the main benefactors. He is quarterbacking the best power-play unit in the NHL and has constant exposure to a plethora of great players. Rielly is going to be one of the most valuable fantasy defensemen by the end of the season.--Raymond Harrison - RotoBaller
