Alexandre Texier scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs.The goal was Texier's second point over three games this season and his first scoring contribution since he returned from an upper-body injury. The 25-year-old winger continues to fill a middle-six role -- he saw 15:55 of ice time Thursday. Texier's scoring pedigree is limited, and he typically adds just modest non-scoring production, so fantasy managers may want to monitor him from afar for a while to see if he can fit on their rosters.
