Jets' Dustin Byfuglien: Hits scoresheet twice against Panthers
Byfuglien notched a goal and an assist along with a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Florida.
Analysis:
The big blueliner has hit or approached 20 goals in three straight seasons, so his slow start in that regard has been a hit to his fantasy owners. Still, it's hard to complain about Byfuglien's 21 points in 33 games, as he's on pace to more or less duplicate last season's 53-point output. That's gold on the blue line, especially if your league counts his voluminous contributions in hits and PIM.
