Montreal Canadiens forward Rem Pitlick will be part of the first line with Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki Saturday against Tampa Bay. The 24-year-old has drawn a lot of plaudits since his arrival back in January, and Pitlick now gets a chance to skate with the team's most talented offensive players. He has recorded seven goals and 20 points in 32 games with the Canadiens and sits on 31 points for the season overall. The matchup against Tampa isn't a great one, but maybe Pitlick can stick with Caufield and Suzuki for a prolonged period of time. It will greatly boost his fantasy value.
Montreal Canadiens forward Rem Pitlick is set to center the second line in Saturday's meeting with Seattle. The move comes after the 24-year-old impressed with a three-point performance in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to Vancouver. He's posted 13 points overall in 21 outings since Montreal picked him up on Jan. 12 Pitlick will skate with Mike Hoffman and Brendan Gallagher. He's already faced Seattle once this season as a member of the Minnesota Wild and scored his first NHL goals against them with a hat trick. Will history repeat itself?
