Orlov scored the game-tying goal in the third period of Thursday's 2-1 shootout victory over Columbus.

EDGE Analysis

It was his first goal and just his second point in nine games; equally promising, he skated 19:52, his second-highest mark in that span. Orlov's shrinking minutes and sparse production have been a drain for fantasy owners, but he's still in the midst of his finest campaign, having already set a new career high in points (30) to go with a spectacular plus-29 rating. His team context is enough to keep him on rosters in many leagues, but owners in shallower formats shouldn't be afraid to drop him if there's more upside on the wire.
