Charlie Coyle explodes for four points in Blue Jackets blowout win

Charlie Coyle scored two goals and added two assists in 20:18 on Tuesday, November 3 as Columbus routed Colorado 7-2. He registered three shots, two blocks and a plus-5 rating in his biggest offensive showing of the campaign.

The four-point night dwarfs his recent averages of 0.70 points, 1.7 shots and 18:06 a night, making him a viable streaming option for the three games Columbus has left this week on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. His underlying play grades 66 out of 100 among forwards, a middling mark that suggests Tuesday's scoring outpaced his volume of shots and chances.

Charlie Coyle

Coyle's four points against Colorado represent a spike well beyond his 0.70 points per game average, which includes 0.26 goals and 0.43 assists. His three shots on Tuesday also topped his 1.7 per game norm, though the 20:18 of ice time was only slightly above his 18:06 average. The second power-play unit role (1:53 per game, sixth on the club) limits his ceiling, but this breakout shows what he can deliver when everything clicks.

With three games remaining this week on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, Coyle merits streaming consideration in deeper formats after proving he can post a multi-point ceiling. His underlying play grade of 66 out of 100 among forwards reflects moderate shot and chance generation, which means this performance likely outpaced his usual process. Treat him as a streamer who capitalized on a favourable matchup rather than a season-long hold.

What to do

• Stream Charlie Coyle for three games this week (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday) after his four-point explosion Tuesday.

• Temper expectations beyond this week, as his underlying play grade of 66 suggests Tuesday's scoring was a spike rather than a trend.

• Monitor his shot totals over the next few games to see if his volume improves from the recent 1.7 per game average.
