After some brutal injury luck, Patrik Laine was able to return for the Canadiens on Tuesday, scoring a goal in his Montreal debut.  On Thursday, Laine did the same, scoring a goal on three shots in the win over the Predators.  Laine has stepped into a 17 minute role right away, including top power play time.  I'm not going to say it's going to be completely smooth, but Laine has undeniable upside.  He's available in about 50% of leagues, which seems too high.  In 10'ers, he's definitely on the fringe.  In 12'ers, I lean towards holding for that goal scoring upside, but it is also fringy.  It depends on the bottom of your roster and your team needs.  Let's take a look at what else happened over the last two nights:
Hi all, and welcome to week 8 of the NHL season. This week has a really weird and not at all fantasy-conducive schedule due to the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday. I will as usual do my best to give you some streamers to pickup as well as teams to target and/or avoid for this week but be aware that the schedule is tight. You may need to stream players specifically for the two off-nights this week and not necessarily for their entire weekly schedule.
