Ryan Leonard | Fantasy Outlook
Leonard brings PP1 upside into home tilt against Devils
Ryan Leonard enters tonight’s Metropolitan Division clash against the New Jersey Devils riding strong form, having logged five points across his last six games. The 21-year-old winger skates on Washington's third line alongside Boone Jenner, but his fantasy appeal is supercharged by top-unit power-play deployment alongside Alex Ovechkin and Tom Wilson. Washington hosts New Jersey at Capital One Arena with both teams sporting identical 4-3-0 records. The Capitals enter as slight home favorites in what projects as a higher-scoring environment, likely facing Jake Allen (unconfirmed) in net. With his ownership jumping to 54%, fantasy managers are taking notice of his expanding offensive role.
Our projections have Leonard around ~1 point and ~2–3 shots on goal tonight, translating to 3.3 fantasy points with a small goal chance and solid physical engagement through nearly two hits. Tonight marks the finale of Washington’s three-game slate for the week, providing one last opportunity to capitalize on his premium special-teams ice time. While his even-strength minutes remain slightly sheltered on the third line, his PP1 role gives him an elevated floor and ceiling against New Jersey’s goaltending. Today’s action: Start.
