EDGE Analysis

Methot has missed ten games so far, but he will be ready to be in the top defensive rotation for a critical Game 2 on Saturday. He had an all around stellar defensive season, recording 12 assists, 164 hits, and a plus-13 rating in 68 games. In leagues that value a true defensive presence, the 31-year-old blueliner does the trick.
