Zachary L'Heureux - NHL News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Finds twine in overtime win L'Heureux scored a goal on three shots and added five hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.

Impact L'Heureux has picked up two goals and two assists over his last seven games. That corresponds with his move to the second line alongside Ryan O'Reilly and Gustav Nyquist, who had the helpers on his first-period goal. L'Heureux isn't an established name yet at just 21 years old, but he's fared well in his first NHL action. He has four goals, five assists, 34 shots on net, 88 hits, 12 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 29 appearances, giving him some speculative value in deep formats.

Fills empty cage L'Heureux scored an empty-net goal on three shots, added three hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Stars.

Impact It's an encouraging sign L'Heureux remained in the lineup over Juuso Parssinen and Fedor Svechkov with the returns of Ryan O'Reilly (lower body) and Gustav Nyquist (illness). L'Heureux was on the fourth line, but that's where he's been for a majority of the campaign anyway. He's got two points over his last three outings and a total of seven points, 30 shots on net, 74 hits and a minus-7 rating through 25 appearances to begin his rookie year.

Grabs helper in loss L'Heureux notched an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Senators.

Impact L'Heureux ended a five-game point drought with the helper. The latest lineup shuffle found him listed on the second line at even strength, but he still had just 12:38 of ice time Saturday. The 21-year-old forward is at six points, 27 shots on net, 70 hits, 12 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 23 appearances. He's doing fine in his first taste of the NHL, but not at a level that warrants much consideration in fantasy.

Set to suit up against Philadelphia L'Heureux (upper body) will be available for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports.

Impact L'Heureux exited Monday's 5-2 loss to the Devils after taking a cross-check to the face, but he'll be able to suit up a few days later while wearing a bubble. Over 17 appearances this season, the 21-year-old has tallied two goals, three assists and 50 hits while averaging 10:16 of ice time.

NOVEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Exits Monday's game L'Heureux (upper body) left Monday's 5-2 loss to New Jersey taking a cross-check to the face from Timo Meier, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.

Impact Meier will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Tuesday because of the incident. Before getting hurt, L'Heureux scored a goal and recorded five hits in 10:47 of ice time. If L'Heureux can't play Wednesday versus Philadelphia, Luke Evangelista could draw back into the lineup.

NOVEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Scores early for first career goal L'Heureux scored a goal and added two hits in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

Impact L'Heureux netted his first NHL tally at 5:28 of the first period. The 21-year-old rookie is doing a good job of sticking in the lineup in a fourth-line role. He has a pair of points over the last three games and a total of four points with 14 shots on net and 39 hits through 15 contests overall. L'Heureux has some promise as a prospect, but he'll need to see a larger role to have widespread fantasy appeal.

NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Snags assist Thursday L'Heureux posted an assist and two hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Impact He snapped a five-game point drought with the helper on a Cole Smith goal in the third period. L'Heureux is up to three assists, 11 shots on net, 35 hits, six PIM and a minus-1 rating over 12 contests while filling a fourth-line role. The 21-year-old winger's gritty style has been a fine fit for the bottom six, and he's doing enough to keep Mark Jankowski in the press box for now.

NOVEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Pockets helper L'Heureux notched an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact L'Heureux had the secondary helper on Colton Sissons' go-ahead goal in the second period. This was the second assist in six games for L'Heureux this season. The 21-year-old has added three shots on net, 19 hits, two PIM and a plus-1 rating. He's seeing fourth-line minutes in his first taste of NHL action, but he could earn a look in the middle six later in the campaign if he puts up decent scoring numbers. If he gets hot, he could also be a streaming option in fantasy formats that reward hits.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Earns first career assist L'Heureux notched an assist, six hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact The helper was the 21-year-old's first career point, as he set up an Alexandre Carrier goal in the third period. L'Heureux has played in a fourth-line role over the last three games, racking up two shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-1 rating. He's doing enough to keep Juuso Parssinen and Philip Tomansino in the press box as healthy scratches, and given Luke Evangelista saw just 6:56 of ice time compared to L'Heureux's 13:34 on Saturday, it doesn't look like the rookie is on the bottom rung of the ladder right now.

Called up Monday L'Heureux was recalled by the Predators on Monday, Robby Stanley of NHL.com reports.

Impact L'Heureux hasn't yet made his NHL debut but was present at the Predators' practice session Monday. Although he's with the NHL club for now, it seems unlikely that he'll see a significant role for Nashville as long as the team stays healthy.
