Canucks' Brandon Sutter: Collects 26 points in third season with Vancouver

Late in the season Sutter was able to explode for nine points in his last 10 games, which made his final statistics look better than they were for much of the season -- before the hot streak, he had just 17 points in 51 games. Although, Sutter was deployed in an extremely defensive role as he only had an offensive start rate of 23 percent, which certainly limited his production as it was the lowest rate of his career. Nonetheless, the 29-year-old was able to enjoy a shooting percentage of 10.4 which was right on his career mark, and he also thrived in the defensive role posting a plus-eight rating. Sutter is due back in Vancouver for 2018-19, and should skate on the second or third forward line.

Canucks' Brandon Sutter: Racks up three points in victory

Sutter has scored four times in his last five games to reach the 10-goal mark for the eighth time in his career. The third-line center has been limited to just 56 games this season, posting 22 points and 101 shots on goal. Sutter is a solid depth contributor, but his inconsistent scoring limits his fantasy value to deeper leagues.

Canucks' Brandon Sutter: Multi-point effort against Avalanche

The Canucks suffered another loss, but Sutter was impressive, firing six shots on goal in 19:58 of ice time. The third-line center hadn't scored in over a month, but he's got 15 points in 39 games and remains a decent depth scorer. Sutter is more valuable to the Canucks than he is to fantasy goers, but the 29-year-old is still worth owning in some deep leagues.

Canucks' Brandon Sutter: Notches overtime winner in return

Sutter showed off some terrific speed and skill on the play, as he darted up ice before cutting in, burning Jonas Brodin and beating Devan Dubnyk with a perfectly placed shot. The center had been out since Nov.24 with an upper-body injury and came through in the clutch to give Vancouver it's second straight victory. Sutter only has seven points in 24 games this season, but he saw power-play time Sunday and is a capable goal-scorer, so he's worth monitoring in deeper formats now that he's back to full health.

Canucks' Brandon Sutter: Will return from 21-game absence

Sutter saw his last game action Nov. 24, and he has just two goals and six points in the previous 23 games. He is normally a strong power-play asset, but the Canucks may be hesitant to put him on special teams in his first game back. After Sunday's game, the Canucks have a five-day rest week for Sutter to continue to get his legs under him.
