Appleton notched an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Appleton set up Colin Blackwell's goal in the second period. The 26-year-old Appleton had gone seven games without a point prior to his assist Saturday. The 26-year-old winger is up to 14 points, 59 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 43 outings. He's mainly seen middle-six usage this season, but the limited offense and only slight physicality limits his usefulness in fantasy to deep formats.
