Jesse Puljujarvi Scores 10th of Season, Heating Up for Edmonton
4 years agoEdmonton Oilers forward Jesse Puljujarvi scored his 10th marker of the season on Saturday with an even-strength goal assisted by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Puljujarvi now has two goals in his last three games and is only three goals away from a new career-best for goals scored in a season. You cannot ask for a better remedy to fantasy irrelevance than playing alongside McDavid and Draisaitl, who sit first and second in the league for points scored, and it appears Puljujarvi is taking advantage of that now. Teammate Kailer Yamamoto did see some time on that line on Saturday, so Puljujarvi is not locked on Edmonton's top line yet. That said, Puljujarvi is rostered in only 11 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is criminally low as long as he continues to see time with McDavid and Draisaitl.
