Kiefer Sherwood Celebrates First Career Hat Trick Against Avalanche
Vancouver Canucks winger Kiefer Sherwood was an unexpected hat-trick hero on Monday versus Colorado, lifting his team to a 3-1 win. The 29-year-old scored all of the game's first three goals to record his first career hat trick. Sherwood's career night included a short-handed goal. The American forward isn't known as a major threat up front, but Sherwood has been chipping in offensively throughout the campaign. He's tied for second on the team with 11 goals and boasts 17 points with 30 games played. Sherwood's physicality adds a lot to his fantasy value, as he leads the league in the category with 184. Nobody else has managed even 130 hits.
Nashville Predators right wing Kiefer Sherwood put in an impressive performance in Friday's season opener against San Jose, grabbing a goal and assist in a 4-1 win. He opened the scoring with just a minute played and helped Nino Niederreiter to score in his Nashville debut late in the second period. Sherwood skated on the second line with Niederreiter and Ryan Johansen. The 27-year-old is not expected to make much noise in fantasy hockey, but he at least looks to be an intriguing DFS option early in the year, as long as he stays among the top six. Sherwood is looking to nail down a full-time spot in the NHL after having a massive 75 points in 57 games last year in the AHL.
