Niklas Hjalmarsson Continues to be Elite in Blocks
6 years agoArizona Coyotes defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson recorded six blocked shots during Saturday night's loss to the Buffalo Sabres. Hjalmarsson now has 10 blocks on the season and averages 2.5 blocks per game, which matches his rate from the last two seasons. Hjalmarsson has finished in the top 10 for blocks per game in each of the last two seasons and will likely continue that streak this year. Unfortunately, Hjalmarsson only holds fantasy value for his blocks as he has not reached 30 points in any season, and has only eclipsed 20 points in two seasons. Hjalmarsson is a name to remember if you are looking for a streaming option to pick up blocks but does not have much fantasy appeal otherwise.
