Derick Brassard Returns From Nine-Game Absence
6 years agoPittsburgh Penguins center Derick Brassard (lower body) was activated off of injured reserve and will be back in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Ottawa Senators. Brassard is going to be playing on the second line in between Jake Guentzel and Phil Kessel. He sees an increased role with Sidney Crosby (upper body) missing his second straight game. Brassard picked up five points in his first eight games of the season. He is a solid DFS play for Saturday's slate but lacks season-long fantasy value with Crosby's impending return. Monitor lineup placement because Brassard could be worthy of a depth acquisition in deeper leagues if he continues to play alongside skilled players.
