Tony DeAngelo nets overtime winner against Lightning

DeAngelo played hero for the Islanders on Saturday, scoring the game-winning goal just 33 seconds into overtime to secure a 3-2 victory over Tampa Bay. He broke free behind the Lightning defense after receiving a stretch pass from Bo Horvat and finished with a smooth breakaway goal past Andrei Vasilevskiy.

Fantasy Impact

DeAngelo has now tallied two points (one goal, one assist) in four appearances since rejoining the lineup. He’s benefiting from Noah Dobson’s (lower body) absence, seeing top-unit power-play time and increased minutes. However, once Dobson returns, DeAngelo’s role could be reduced, potentially shifting him to the second power-play unit. Fantasy managers looking for short-term blue-line production should consider him, but his long-term value remains tied to Dobson’s status.
