Alex Kerfoot scores in first game on top line

Alex Kerfoot found the back of the net on two shots in Friday’s 3-2 overtime loss to Columbus.

Fantasy Impact

With Logan Cooley (lower body) ruled out indefinitely, Kerfoot was promoted to the top line alongside Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz. He capitalized on the opportunity by snapping an 11-game point drought with his seventh goal of the season. While Kerfoot’s versatility has kept him in a bottom-six role for most of the season, this move could give him short-term fantasy value. Through 51 appearances, he has 16 points, 63 shots, 40 blocked shots, 26 hits, and a minus-6 rating. Managers in deeper formats may want to monitor his production in an expanded role.
