Alexander Wennberg News: Pair of points Sunday

Wennberg scored a power-play goal, tallied an assist and blocked three shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.

Wennberg lit the lamp on a power play near the 15-minute mark in the second period before picking up an assist on Macklin Celebrini's empty-net goal. After his pair of points Sunday, Wennberg is up to six goals, nine assists, 32 shots on goal and 36 blocks through 30 games this season. The 31-year-old center has stepped up in his role on the second line in the absence of Michael Misa (lower body) and Logan Couture (groin). Wennberg sees the necessary ice time to succeed in fantasy but will need to generate more offensive consistency with San Jose's top six to be a solid fantasy option long term.
