Phil Kessel News
Vegas Golden Knights veteran forward Phil Kessel showed he still has value to his team with a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Nashville Predators. The Wisconsin native has been on a hot streak lately, tallying three points in his last three games. He now has ten goals and 13 assists in 52 contests this season. At this time, Kessel isn't an important player in fantasy play, but that could change as Vegas winger Mark Stone is out the rest of the regular season after having back surgery last week.
Veteran winger Phil Kessel has signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Vegas Golden Knights. He's switching teams after spending three seasons with Arizona and Kessel will hope to produce a bounce-back campaign in 2022-23 after finishing last season with only eight goals. He was able to register 44 assists across 82 games, so he didn't fall off the rails completely, but Kessel's fantasy stock has taken a huge hit in recent years. With that said, the 34-year-old links up with a talented group of offensive players in Vegas and he should be eager to prove that he's still got some gas left in the tank. Kessel will also aim to break a league record for most consecutive regular-season games played early next season. He needs to be in the lineup for just eight more times to move past Keith Yandle and get to 990 consecutive outings.
Arizona Coyotes right wing Phil Kessel couldn't find the net with four efforts on goal Tuesday night against San Jose, but he did the dirty work for others and finished an 8-7 shootout loss with four assists. It's his second career game with four-plus helpers. Kessel has only five markers for the season, so he hasn't been a great source for goals all year, but he's been in decent form since the start of last month and boasts 21 points in 30 games for the season. His line with Lawson Crouse and Johan Larsson produced a whopping 11 points in total Tuesday night.
Arizona Coyotes right-winger Phil Kessel still can produce offensively with the best of them at times. He scored once and added an assist in Arizona's 6-5 overtime win in Anaheim on Friday. The two points gave Kessel five over his previous six games. He has five goals and 12 assists in 29 contests this season. While Kessel cannot muster a point-a-game pace, he can be effective offensively for short spurts. This latest run illustrates that fact. The right-winger is a decent pickup in the deepest of fantasy leagues.
