Canucks' Daniel Sprong: Produces helper
Daniel Sprong logged an assist, three shots on goal, three hits and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Penguins.Sprong hasn't been a consistent part of the Vancouver Canucks' lineup -- he's been scratched three times over the team's seven games so far. The 27-year-old has often played on the fourth line, earning two points, nine shots on net, three hits and a minus-1 rating. Sprong also plays on the second power-play unit when in the lineup, but the risk of him being scratched frequently makes him unreliable for fantasy purposes.

Canucks' Daniel Sprong: Tallies on power play
Daniel Sprong scored a power-play goal on two shots in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Flames.Sprong had the Vancouver Canucks' first goal of the season as the second power-play unit cashed in midway through the first period. The 27-year-old winger began the game on a line with Elias Pettersson, but Sprong ended up with just 13:07 of ice time, third-lowest among Vancouver skaters. He's developed a reputation as a power-play specialist over the last two seasons, earning 26 of his 89 points in that span with the man advantage. As such, it wouldn't be a surprise for Sprong to ultimately end up in a bottom-six role, though that shouldn't hurt his fantasy value in formats that heavily reward offense.

Red Wings' Daniel Sprong: Helper overshadowed by turnover
Daniel Sprong earned an assist in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.Sprong earned a secondary assist in the second period, but it was his careless center-ice pass that resulted in a Jeff Carter interception and shorthanded tally to put the Penguins up 5-3 early in the third frame. Pittsburgh drafted Sprong in the second round (No. 46 overall) in 2015, and Detroit marks his sixth different deal with an NHL franchise. He's cashing out the balance of a one-year deal worth $2 million, and the Wings could end up letting him walk as an unrestricted free agent this summer. There's plenty to like about Sprong, a bottom-six contributor whose put up 17 goals and 24 assists through 73 games But the Wings are desperately fighting to get into the playoffs, and the team can ill-afford costly turnovers like the one Sprong had Thursday.

Red Wings' Daniel Sprong: Goes top shelf in win
Daniel Sprong found the back of the net in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.Sprong fired a snapshot from a sharp angle, with the puck traveling between Tyson Jost's legs and landing top shelf for Detroit's third goal of the contest. We wouldn't put too much stock in Sprong's status as a fourth-liner, as he is one of five Detroit Red Wings with 40 points or more this season. The 27-year-old is precisely at that level based on 17 goals and 23 assists through 66 games. But let's not forget that he has also been a factor on the power play, adding three goals and nine assists to the season ledger.

Daniel Sprong supplied an even-strength goal in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.Sprong enjoyed a 46-point breakout campaign with Seattle last year, but with a running total consisting of 15 goals and 20 assists, the bottom-six contributor has a chance to top that mark in his debut season with the Wings. Staying healthy will be a key determining factor on whether Sprong can set the bar even higher offensively; so far, so good, as he's yet to miss a game in the 2023-24 campaign.
