Eakin scored the only Dallas goal during Thursday's loss to Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

While Eakin has been limited to just 37 games this season, this was also only his second goal. After a respectable three-year stretch where he averaged 17 goals and 36.6 points per season, Eakin's two tallies and eight points aren't moving the fantasy needle in 2016-17. He is capable of providing an uptick in production over the coming weeks, but he'll always be more of a meat-and-potatoes players than a scorer, so it's best to take a wait-and-see approach.
