Penguins' Phil Kessel: Curbs slump with two helpers against Bolts

Kessel collected two assists during Friday's win over Tampa Bay.

Analysis:

With just a single assist through his previous six outings, this was a welcomed rebound from Kessel. He's unlikely to ever fall into lengthy scoring droughts because of his role on the No. 1 power-play unit, but it's worth noting that he's skating in a third-line role right now. Still, Kessel has posted 21 goals and 58 points through 63 games and continues to be a rock-solid fantasy option in all settings.
