Antoine Roussel Picks Up Two Points in Saturday Night Win
6 years agoVancouver Canucks forward Antoine Roussel scored a goal and an assist on Saturday night as Vancouver defeated Colorado. Roussel is not a regular point producer, however with 21 points in 47 games, he is on pace to set a career high in points this year while maintaining his typical contributions to the hits and penalty minute categories. Although he failed to record a penalty in Saturday's contest, Roussel has 22 penalty minutes across his last five games and has had five games so far this season where he has recorded 12 or more penalty minutes. In leagues where penalties are rewarded, Roussel has the potential to swing a matchup with that kind of performance. Taking into consideration that he is chipping in points more often than at any point of his career, Roussel is an intriguing option to pick up for a game or two in the right matchup.
