Alexander Nikishin | Fantasy Outlook

Nikishin offers well-rounded peripheral value and blue-line depth for Carolina

Entering his age-25 campaign, Alexander Nikishin provides Carolina with dependable blue-line depth. Coming off a 33-point season (11 goals, 22 assists), our data projects identical output across 81 games with 11 goals, 33 points, and 11 power-play points. His double-digit goal capability gives him sneaky offensive upside from defense.

Nikishin's primary fantasy appeal lies in his balanced peripheral floor. Our models forecast 132 hits, 94 blocks, and 122 shots on goal with a +18 rating. That cross-category impact ensures stable weekly output even when the scoring slows down.

With an ADP near 196, making him a late-round option in standard 12-team formats, Nikishin is an efficient target for managers seeking category stability and plus-minus support to round out their blue line.
