Juuso Valimaki Hands Out Two Assists
2 years agoArizona Coyotes defenseman Juuso Valimaki recorded two assists in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Dallas. He helped the team grab a two-goal lead as Barrett Hayton scored and Clayton Keller struck on the power play, but the Coyotes couldn't hang on. Valimaki started to gain traction in fantasy hockey after Jakob Chychrun was pulled from the lineup, and it's now clear that the 24-year-old Finn will have a massive role to play for Arizona for the rest of the way, with Chychrun officially gone and Shayne Gostisbehere also finding himself in a new team. Nearly half (10) of Valimaki's 22 points have come in 11 games since the start of last month. He averaged 22:34 of ice time across February and even got close to playing 24 minutes against the Stars.
