Phil Kessel Does His Part In Rout Of Calgary Flames On Thursday
6 years agoPittsburgh Penguins winger Phil Kessel buried two goals in his team's eye-opening victory over the Calgary Flames on Thursday night. The Wisconsin native was all over the scoresheet in this one, also posting a plus-two rating, two penalty minutes and five shots on goal in the contest. Kessel is doing what he does best through his first eight games, already potting six goals on just 20 shots. While it might be difficult to surpass his career-high of 92 points (34 goals, 58 assists) last season, he is currently on track to do so with his 12 points (1.5 point-per-game) thus far. He's easily a top-10 winger in this league and needs to be in all fantasy lineups each night he plays. Kessel and the Pens will take on the Canucks on Saturday.
