Akeson scored on a nifty backhand in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Capitals. Akeson flashed some energy at the end of last season, and his enthusiasm figures to make him a fan favorite. As a fourth-liner, his ice-time limitations diminish his fantasy value, so he'll go undrafted in many leagues. But his knack for scoring make him a nice value pick in late rounds.
