Ben Meyers records three points in Kraken win over Red Wings

Fantasy hockey: Meyers posted a goal and two assists on Friday, but his recent averages and lack of power-play time keep him a hold in deeper formats.

Ben Meyers recorded one goal and two assists on three shots in 13:35 of ice time in Seattle's 6-3 victory over Detroit on Friday, October 9. He added three hits, one blocked shot and finished plus-2 without a power-play point.

The three-point performance stands well above his recent averages of 0.25 points per game, but it came on his usual shot volume and ice time. His underlying play grades 71 out of 100 among forwards, a measure of how sustainable his scoring is, and he sees just 0:04 of power-play time per game, ranking 19th among all Seattle skaters.

Meyers averages 0.11 goals, 0.14 assists and 1.1 shots per game over an 84-game sample, making Friday's output exceptional for a player who typically logs 12:01 a night. The line came without elevated ice time or shot volume, suggesting this performance should be treated as a single outlier rather than a shift in his fantasy profile. His minimal power-play role limits his upside for consistent scoring.

Seattle plays four more times this week on Friday, Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday, giving Meyers plenty of opportunity to build on the performance. His process grade of 71 suggests he generates enough shots and scoring chances to deliver occasional fantasy value, but his 0.25 points per game pace and lack of special-teams deployment make him better suited for deep leagues where his 1.1 hits per game add peripheral value.

What to do

• Hold Meyers in deeper leagues where his underlying play and hit rate offer modest value.

• Stream him this week if you need forward help and have room for Seattle's four-game stretch.

• Do not expect Friday's three-point total to repeat without a meaningful increase in power-play time or shot volume.
