Gridin brings top power-play role and hot form into home clash with Ducks
Matvei Gridin heads into tonight’s Pacific Division clash at Scotiabank Saddledome riding a strong wave of momentum. The 20-year-old winger has carved out a pivotal role on Calgary's second line alongside Ryan Strome while commanding top power-play minutes, translating into seven points across his last seven contests. That hot stretch has driven his fantasy ownership up near 29 percent. Calgary enters as a home favorite against the Anaheim Ducks in a potentially higher-scoring matchup, with Anaheim likely turning to Lukas Dostal (unconfirmed) in goal. With Gridin feeling confident generating chances on PP1, his offensive setup remains prime.
Our projection has Gridin around ~0.5–1.0 point and ~2–3 shots on goal tonight, with a small goal chance and solid power-play upside translating to roughly 2.5 fantasy points. Looking at the weekly schedule, this marks the third of four total games for Calgary this week, leaving one more home tilt on Sunday to build on his production. Given his top power-play deployment, recent scoring touch, and a favorable matchup environment, he makes for an appealing offensive target. Today's action: Stream.
