The Washington Capitals take on the Pittsburgh Penguins today at 3 p.m. on ABC and ESPN plus. We noted who the top 3 impact players are but if you play fantasy hockey a good add on choice is Connor McMichael.
Don't just take our word for it either, here's what Evan Berofsky of Yahoo Sports said on the play of McMichael:
"It's generally a good idea to add players who are running hot, and there probably aren't many others around 50 percent as scorching as McMichael, who has nine points in 10 games supplemented by 15 shots. He doesn't do a lot in other categories, but skating in the top six and backup power play on the Caps' second ranked attack should be enough to get him on more rosters."Evan Berofsky/Yahoo Sports
