Hertl scored a power-play goal on five shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks.
Analysis:While Hertl is centering the third line to begin the year, his spot on the first power-play unit should help his offense. The 32-year-old center has a goal, nine shots, three hits, two blocks and a plus-2 rating over two contests. Hertl fell short of the 60-point mark last year with 24 goals and 34 assists over 82 regular-season games, but he still does enough to be a quality fantasy forward.
