Arseny Gritsyuk scores twice in Devils' 5-2 win over Golden Knights

Arseny Gritsyuk scored twice on eight shots in 17:48 in the Devils' 5-2 win over the Golden Knights on Friday, October 30. The winger added a hit and finished plus-3 in a dominant offensive showing.

The two-goal outing is well above Gritsyuk's recent averages of 0.52 points, 2.3 shots and 15:11 a night. With three games left this week (Friday, Tuesday, Thursday) and strong underlying play that grades 83 out of 100 among forwards, he offers streaming value in deeper formats while his shot volume remains this high.

Arseny Gritsyuk

Gritsyuk's eight shots were more than three times his usual volume and the 17:48 of ice time represented a notable increase from his typical 15:11 per game. The winger plays 1:06 on the power play per night, ranking 11th among all Devils skaters in power-play time, though neither of his goals came with the extra man. His process grade of 83 out of 100 among forwards, based on shots, scoring chances and ice time, suggests the underlying play can support continued production.

With the Devils playing three more times this week on Friday, Tuesday and Thursday, Gritsyuk offers streaming appeal in deeper leagues where his recent averages (0.24 goals, 0.28 assists per game) are typically available on waivers. The shot volume is the key metric to watch: eight attempts exceeded his usual 2.3 shots per game, and whether he maintains higher shot totals will determine his fantasy value going forward.

What to do

• Stream Gritsyuk in deeper formats for the Devils' three remaining games this week.

• Watch his shot totals over the next two games to gauge whether the eight-shot outing reflects a new role or just variance.

• Consider dropping him after this week's schedule if his ice time returns to his typical 15:11 and shot volume regresses to his 2.3 average.
