Zuccarello a great forward pick for Tuesday

"The Neutral Zone" Fantasy Hockey Report

Mats Zuccarello

Mats Zuccarello isn't just good at scoring (he has 20 goals in 59 games this season), but he can play somewhat defense as well.

Along with his 20 goals and 26 assists this season, Zuccarello has six hits, seven shots on goal and seven blocked shots in his past five games, which is really impressive for the Rangers winger.

In his past five games, Zuccarello has two goals and five assists, and with his hits and blocked shots, he is a wise choice for Tuesday if you need a good forward who can get you points that is not too expensive in your fantasy salary cap, assuming you're playing daily fantasy.

Zuccarello has had almost 20 minutes of ice time per game in his past five, and although he failed to show up on the scoring sheet in his last game against Detroit on Sunday, he still knows how to find the net and score some goals/points for his team, and for your team.
