Nets first career goal
DOttawa Senators
April 7, 2025
Matinpalo scored a goal, tallied three shots on net and dished out three hits in Sunday's 4-0 win over Columbus.
ANALYSIS
Matinpalo tallied his first career goal to give the Senators an early 2-0 lead. Sunday's tally was Matinpalo's second career point in 41 career games at the NHL level. He has recently held down a third-pairing role on Ottawa's blue line. His value in fantasy is limited, however, as he's averaging just 12:26 of ice time per game this season. It is best to look elsewhere for defensive options for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.
