Joel Armia Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

In just 13:51 minutes of ice-time per game, Jesperi Kotkaniemi has managed to put up 11 goals and 33 points in his rookie season. He's centering the "third" line tonight with Jonathan Drouin and Joel Armia flanking him. This line is surprisingly intriguing as they've played together the same power play unit as well for the last few games. Giving a line that is this cheap full-game correlation in a solid matchup is very interesting. The Montreal Canadiens host the Florida Panthers who allowed 7 goals last night against the Toronto Maple Leafs. A back-to-back for the Panthers in which there was a goalie switch — albeit very early into the game — games for an interesting matchup.

He's definitely not yet a household name, but Joel Armia should be on your radar tonight as a value option. The former first-round pick has come alive down the stretch for Winnipeg and now owns two goals and four assists over his last nine games while averaging over three SOG/G in the process. Armia has seen his workload increase with Mark Scheifele sidelined and sees a healthy dose of playing time on the wing of Winnipeg's second power-play unit. The matchup opposite the free-falling Buffalo Sabres is a plus and his likely non-existent ownership levels make quite an appealing GPP target.
