Fraser Minten scores one goal and two assists in Bruins win over Flyers

Fantasy hockey: Minten posted three points on Saturday, but his shot volume and ice time remained ordinary and his underlying grades point to unsustainable scoring.

Fraser Minten recorded one goal and two assists on three shots in 14:25 in Boston's 5-1 win over Philadelphia on Saturday, October 10. The center finished plus-three with no hits or blocks in the victory.

The three-point night stands well above Minten's recent averages of 0.40 points per game on 1.5 shots and 15:31 a night, but his shot volume and ice time remained typical for his workload. His underlying play grades 35 out of 100 among forwards in shots, scoring chances and ice time, suggesting the scoring pace will be difficult to maintain.

Fraser Minten

Minten has averaged 0.24 goals and 0.16 assists per game on 1.5 shots a night in his recent sample of 101 games. He plays 15:31 a night and ranks tenth among all Bruins skaters in power-play time at 1:01 per game, placing him on the second unit. The three points on Saturday came without more shots or minutes than he typically sees.

Boston has three games left this week, playing Saturday, Tuesday and Friday. Minten's process grade of 35 out of 100 among forwards indicates the scoring will regress, and his usual production of 0.40 points per game keeps him in a hold category for standard formats. Managers rostering him in shallow leagues should keep their expectations anchored to his underlying shot and ice-time profile rather than this single performance.

What to do

• Hold Fraser Minten in formats where he is already rostered, but expect scoring to return to his typical rate near 0.40 points per game.

• Do not stream Minten based on Saturday's three-point game, as his shot volume and underlying grades point to unsustainable production.

• Monitor whether Minten's ice time or power-play role expands in Boston's three games this week on Saturday, Tuesday and Friday.
