Rasmus Ristolainen Scores First Goal in Sunday's Victory
6 years agoBuffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen picked up his first goal of the 2018-2019 season in his team's 4-2 win against the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday. His goal was a thing of beauty, a rocket of a one-timer on the power play to give his team a 3-2 lead. Ristolainen value took a small hit due to the arrival of rookie sensation Rasmus Dahlin (replaced Ristolainen on the team's top power-play unit) but he still holds great value due to his combination of offensive ability and physical play. The 23-year-old blueliner now has four points (one goal, three assists), 19 shots and 26 hits in nine games, leading the Sabres' back end with an average time-on-ice of 25:20. Make sure he's in your lineups as per usual when the Sabres face the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday.
