Jakub Voracek Sets Up Two in Loss to Kings
5 years agoPhiladelphia Flyers forward Jakub Voracek dished a pair of assists late in Tuesday night's game against the Kings, leading a comeback effort that ultimately fell short. Voracek has had the hot playmaking hand of late, picking up seven assists in his last six games. He also has a single goal on eight shots in that time, but Voracek's fantasy value has always come primarily from his assist production. Now with 23 assists and 11 power-play points on the season, he is on pace to match his 46 assists from last season and eclipse the 18 power-play points he scored. He will need to keep on that pace, however, as his shot generation has fallen by a shot per game, dipping from 2.7 shots per game last season to 1.7 shots per game this year. Voracek holds more value in categories leagues where he can dominate the assist category, but maybe better as a sell-high candidate in points leagues while he is on this hot streak.
