Alexander Volkov Adds Points In Ducks Win On Wednesday
Anaheim Ducks winger Alexander Volkov helped his team defeat San Jose by a score of 4-1 on Wednesday. The Russian forward compiled a goal and an assist in the second period for Anaheim. Volkov is responsible for seven goals and three assists, playing 19 games for Tampa Bay and seven for Anaheim in 2021. In his short time with the Ducks, Volkov skates on the wing with the team's fourth line. He will not be much of a factor on Thursday and isn't rostered in a single Yahoo league.
Anaheim Ducks right wing Alexander Volkov took care of two goals in Monday's 4-0 win over San Jose, joining Maxime Comtois and Rickard Rakell on the scoreboard. The Russian winger was plus-two for the contest and had three shots and five hits. Volkov, who was picked up from Tampa via a trade last month, now has three goals in six games for the Ducks. The 23-year-old gets more minutes in Anaheim and has some upside after being reasonably successful in the AHL. He's bagged six total goals this season and boasts eight points in 25 games ahead of Wednesday's rematch with the Sharks.
Alexander Volkov Scores Two Goals In Monday's Loss
Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Alexander Volkov scored half of the team's goals in Monday's 6-4 loss to Florida. The 23-year-old Russian now has three goals and five points for the year in nine games. Volkov has been very productive for a depth piece, especially considering that he is averaging fewer than 10 minutes per night. He logged only 9:27 on Monday but managed to score with both of his shots. Volkov's lack of minutes makes him a no-go in fantasy hockey, but he's clearly got some talent, and we should see him in a bigger role in the future.
