Justin Abdelkader converts penalty shot

Justin Abdelkader scored a goal on a penalty shot, and added an assist in Detroit's 3-2 loss against the Lightning at Little Caesars Arena on Monday. He also registered two PIMs and finished the evening with a plus-one rating.

Fantasy Implications: Abdelkader was the first Red Wing to score on a penalty shot since Valtteri Filppula converted on December 15, 2017.  The 30-year-old veteran now has four points (two goals, two assists), four PIMs and a plus-two rating through six games. In his nine year career, Abdelkader has never exceeded 44 points, and adds value only to owners in deep leagues, or as an emergency forward.
