Anton Lundell
Lundell produced his hat trick in under 17 minutes while skating on the second power-play unit, where he averages 2:26 per game (seventh among all Panthers skaters). The eight shots more than tripled his usual 2.1 per game, and he added 0.22 goals and 0.39 assists per game over his 206-game sample. His 0.17 power-play points per game suggest most of his scoring comes at even strength.
The performance puts Lundell on the streaming radar for Friday, Monday and Wednesday. His process grade of 61 out of 100 among forwards indicates the hat trick ran well ahead of his typical shot volume and scoring-chance generation. He remains a depth center who averages 19:16 a night, but the three-game week and Friday's shot total make him worth a look in deeper formats.
What to do
• Stream Lundell for his three games this week (Friday, Monday, Wednesday) in formats where he remains available.
• Temper expectations beyond this week given his 61 process grade and 0.61 points per game over 206 games.
• Monitor his shot volume over the next two games to see if Friday's eight shots signal a usage change or an outlier.
