Alex Pietrangelo played alongside Kent Huskins for the second time on Friday. Pietrangelo came into his own last season as the rearguard had 11 goals and 43 points. The 21-year-old is looking to build on that this season and with the defensive minded Huskins as his partner, Pietrangelo could take more offensive gambles. Look for the fourth overall selection to get 45-50 points this season. He could eventually be a top-five fantasy defenseman so he deserves to go higher in keeper pools. Huskins had only two goals and 10 points in 50 games last season so his fantasy value will be negligible.
