Dylan Strome is a good fantasy start vs Hurricanes

Dylan Strome could have a good game tonight when the Washington Capitals take the ice against the Carolina Hurricanes tonight at 7 p.m. live from Capital One Arena on Monumental Sports Network and NHL Network.

Here's what Evan Berofsky of Roto Wire via Yahoo Fantasy said about Strome:

"Life is always exciting as a Washington center because there's always the chance of skating next to Alex Ovechkin. Strome has earned a significant share of that responsibility in recent seasons, yet Connor McMichael currently has dibs at even-strength while Hendrix Lapierre has secured a few chances. That hasn't stopped Strome from accumulating 33 points in 34 games during 2024 while directing 65 pucks on net and winning 280 faceoffs. He and Ovi continue to participate on the top man-advantage, and he's only three PPPs away from equaling a career-best of 21 set last year. That's a lot of output for someone available in roughly 60 percent of Yahoo! formats."

So if Dylan Strome is on your waiver wire, pick him up immediately!

Strome scored his team leading 23rd goal of the season at the Calgary Flames on Monday and with the goal he tied his single season career high that he set last year in 81 games. Strome also ranks first on the Capitals in points with 54 while ranking third on the team in assists with 31.

Strome is on a two game point streak with a goal and two assists as well as a two game assist streak. He has recorded 28 points in his last 26 games with eight goals and 20 assists. After recording 12 assists through his first 47 games of the season, Strome now has 19 assists in his last 21 games.

Catch Strome and the Capitals tonight at 7 p.m. in what is sure to be a big divisional matchup.
