Predators' Zach Sanford: Gathers assist Saturday
Rotowire
Sanford logged an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Canucks.
Sanford set up Jordan Gross's second goal of the game just 1:06 into the third period. The helper was Sanford's first of the year, and he's earned both of his points so far in his last four games. The 27-year-old forward has added seven shots on net, nine hits and four blocked shots in six outings. He's been a rotational option for head coach John Hynes, but Sanford sees power-play time when he plays, which typically comes at the expense of Eeli Tolvanen.

Sanford appeared in 80 games split between the Senators and the Jets last season, picking up nine goals and 21 points over that span.

Jets' Zach Sanford: Gets first assist with new team
Rotowire
Sanford recorded an assist in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Sanford had gone 10 games without a point, including his first two after he was traded from the Senators to the Jets.

Through 65 appearances, Sanford has 18 points, 87 shots on net, 136 hits and a minus-12 rating. The American winger is likely to remain in a third-line role with the Jets, so his fantasy appeal will remain limited to deeper formats.

With the Jets moving Mason Appleton, the 27-year-old Sanford should be able to at least push for a top-six role, though he may need to settle for a spot on the third line at least to start.

Senators' Zach Sanford: Earns assist in victory
Rotowire
Sanford set up a goal in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.
The gritty third-line winger only committed to one hit, but his primary assist to Adam Gaudette helped the Senators to a 2-0 lead in the opening frame. Selected by the Capitals in the second round (No. 61 overall) of the 2013 draft, Sanford doesn't see the ice often enough to draw attention in most fantasy formats, but there was no stopping Ottawa in this matinee.
