James Neal Scores In Thursday's Loss
6 years agoCalgary Flames winger James Neal scored a goal but his team got beat handedly 9-1 by his former team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, on Thursday. Neal's marker was just his second of the season and he has just three points in ten games with his new team. Despite having posted at least 20 goals in each year of his ten-year career, the 31-year-old doesn't carry much fantasy value these days. In fact, the sniper hasn't eclipsed the 50-point plateau once in his past two seasons and doesn't look primed to suddenly do it in 2018-2019. Unless he can earn his way onto the Flames' top line with Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan, Neal will continue to have little fantasy value. He will look to reverse his early fortune against the Washington Capitals on Saturday.
