Sutter scored a goal and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Sutter opened the scoring 3:38 into the contest as the Canucks controlled the first period. After his goal, it was a battle between the superstars for the two teams. Sutter is up to six goals in 22 appearances this season. He's added 39 shots on net and a minus-3 rating, but he doesn't play much of a physical game and he hasn't found much consistency, as half of his scoring came in a 7-1 win over the Senators on Jan. 25 when he netted a hat trick.

The goal was Sutter's fifth of the season, but he hadn't recorded a point in nine games after his hat trick versus the Senators on Jan. 25.

Sutter has been held off the scoresheet in Vancouver's past nine games.
EDGE Analysis
After scoring his first career hat trick, Sutter hasn't been able to generate any offense. He has four goals and no helpers through 17 contests. While he isn't expected to be a primary source of offense, he's producing at a lower pace than last year's 17 points in 44 games.

Sutter posted a hat trick in Monday's 7-1 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Sutter opened the scoring at 9:31 of the first period. He added a shorthanded tally in the second period and a breakaway goal in the final minute of the third. It was Sutter's first career hat trick. The 32-year-old has four goals, 16 shots on net and a plus-2 rating in eight contests. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect this from Sutter -- his career high in goals is 21, and he fills a bottom-six role for the Canucks.
