6 Marco Scandella D

Scandella notched an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

Scandella helped out on a David Perron goal in the second period. The 31-year-old Scandella has three points in his last seven outings. The Quebec native is up to eight points, a plus-13 rating, 62 blocked shots, 53 hits and 51 shots on net through 45 games. He's a stay-at-home defenseman -- fantasy managers shouldn't expect much offense out of Scandella.

Scandella scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Wild.

Scandella converted on a Jordan Kyrou assist at 10:55 of the second period. The 31-year-old Scandella went 26 games without a goal, and he posted only three assists in that span.

In 62 appearances for the Sabres, Habs and Blues this year prior to the shutdown, the 29-year-old notched four goals, nine helpers and 77 shots. At best, the Montreal native figures to be a mid-range fantasy option heading into the 2020-21 campaign.
