Oilers' Kris Russell: Lights lamp in loss

Russell also had three hits and two blocked shots in the contest. The blueliner has a goal and four assists in eight games in March, as well as 29 blocks (nine of which came in a 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs on March 9). He can be worth a look in deep formats.

Oilers' Kris Russell: Generates shorthanded assist

The defenseman, who's known mostly for his defensive play, surprisingly only has three shorthanded points in his career. Russell is up to two goals and 13 assists in 61 appearances this year, although his primary stat of interest is his 167 blocked shots. In formats that don't count blocks, Russell can safely be avoided.

Oilers' Kris Russell: Makes impact against former club

Playing against the club that drafted him in the third round back in 2005, Russell put together his first multi-point effort since Nov. 13. The stay-at-home blueliner has only two goals and 13 points through 55 games, but he provides a little fantasy value in other categories -- he's got a plus-3 rating on a mediocre Oilers squad, and has added 143 blocked shots and 69 hits.

Oilers' Kris Russell: Scores rare goal

The 31-year-old defenseman hadn't posted a point since Dec. 7, but he missed nearly a month of action, so Russell really went five games without a point. Still, Russell had two assists and no goals in the previous 16 games prior to Saturday, so this was a big goal. The veteran has two goals and nine points in 35 games this season. Missing action has hurt his value, but Russell's numbers on a per-game basis are down across the board in 2018-19.

Oilers' Kris Russell: Pointless in return

The veteran blueliner had missed 10 games due to an undisclosed injury. Russell logged 22:39 of ice time in the win Sunday, but with only eight points through 32 games this season, the 31-year-old shouldn't be trusted as an everyday fantasy option.
