Jesse Puljujarvi
RW - Pittsburgh Penguins
Next Game
Eligibility
Availability
Jesse Puljujarvi added his 10th assist of the year and first with the Canes in the 2-1 win over the Islanders on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
The winger was simply not a fit in Edmonton, and it seems like he is not a fit in Carolina either, as he has just one point in 11 games with the new team. With just five goals and 10 assists on 69 games this year, ignore him in all formats of Fantasy to close out the season.
Jesse Puljujarvi will be put on the shelf for the next month due to a lower-body injury he sustained in a 7-3 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Coach Jay Woodcroft said, "I don't think it was a high-impact event, it was just one of those things where he got tangled up." Put him on the IR and take a look at Robert Thomas of St. Louis if you need a RW replacement and the waiver wire is scarce.
Jesse Puljujarvi led the Oilers out of their losing streak in a big way. He scored two power-play goals 46 seconds apart in the first period and then added a primary assist to Warren Foegele's empty netter as Edmonton beat Columbus 5-2.
Fantasy Impact
Puljujarvi is up to 23 points in 28 games with 33 hits, seven blocks, and is +7 on the season. He remains a "could do worse" fantasy player who fills a role for managers and/or DFS lineups.
Jesse Puljujarvi netted his eighth goal of the year early in the second period during the Oilers' 4-1 loss to the Wild.
Fantasy Impact
Puljujarvi ended his three game goal-less streak with a wrist shot off a Connor McDavid assist. Edmonton has cooled off after their torrid start and Puljujarvi's fantasy production has been thusly affected. He is still seeing over 16 minutes of ice time a game, however, so holding him is a solid choice.
Jesse Puljujarvi had two goals on three shots as the Oilers defeated the visiting Rangers in overtime, 6-5.
Fantasy Impact
Puljujarvi has five goals and seven assists in only 10 games this season. If he is available in your league, be sure to pick him up immediately—his spot on the top line with McDavid and Draisaitl will ensure that he continues to rack up points.
