Tanner Pearson Scores Second Goal With Penguins
6 years agoPittsburgh Penguins forward Tanner Pearson potted a goal in his team's 5-1 victory against the Dallas Stars on Wednesday. Acquired from the Los Angeles Kings on November 14th, the 26-year-old now has three points (two goals, one assist) in four games with his new team. Pearson struggled mightily in L.A. prior to the trade (just one assist in 17 games) but is a proven goal-scorer as this level (24 goals in 2016-2017). Currently saddling up on a line with Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel, Pearson is a intriguing fantasy option. If he can regain his scoring touch, the Ontario could provide significant value at a somewhat shallow left-wing position. Owned in just 10% of Yahoo! leagues, Pearson will be a player worth monitoring for the short-term.
