Public service announcement: due to the All-Star break, most head-to-head fantasy hockey leagues are running a two-week week. Regular season matchups are on hold from Thursday-Monday as the league prepares for this year’s festivities in Columbus. Make sure you check your league settings on how your week will be scored and if you get extra transactions or not. There's nothing worse than using all your moves mid-week in the first half of a double week and then being stuck with injuries later on.
In case you are new here and missed #nhljets Perreault: Maurice calls it an UBI and says likely out until after all-star. So no extensive damage like a break or tear
— gary lawless (@garylawless) January 18, 2015If you can stash Perreault on your bench or injury reserve until he gets back, he could be a valuable trade chip if you find a manager who values what he has done in the past two months rather than the year as a whole.
| Month | Games | Points | Points/Game |
|---|---|---|---|
| October | 10 | 3 | 0.30 |
| November | 14 | 3 | 0.21 |
| December | 13 | 13 | 1.00 |
| January | 8 | 10 | 1.25 |
| 2014-15 | 45 | 29 | 0.64 |
Some would think that Perreault would pick up where he left off when he comes back form his arm injury, but it is important to note that when #Pens lines: Kunitz-Crosby-Perron Bennett-Malkin-Arcobello Spaling-Sutter-Downie Sill-Goc-Adams
— Pittsburgh Penguins (@penguins) January 18, 2015Arcobello has only eight goals in and five assists through 42 games with Edmonton, Nashville and Pittsburgh this year for an unimpressive 0.32 points per game. But as I mentioned earlier in the article, the Penguins play a league-leading six games during the “double week,†so Arcobello will have plenty of time to acclimatize himself to his new surroundings and linemates.
