Paajarvi scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 3-2 win over the visiting Wild.

EDGE Analysis

A healthy scratch less than 24 hours prior on Opening Night versus Chicago, Paajarvi responded well in his extremely limited 7:22 of ice time. The 2010 10th overall pick has had a rough go of things since his rookie season with the Oilers back in 2010-11, as he's recorded just 46 points in 196 games -- including nine in 48 contests with St. Louis last year. With that in mind, don't let his draft pedigree fool you, since there's nothing to suggest he'll suddenly return to fantasy relevance given Paajarvi's fourth-line fringe role and corresponding ice time.
