Virtanen skated just 9:18 and was held without a point in his NHL debut Tuesday against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
The sixth overall pick in the 2014 draft, Virtanen got his first crack at NHL action Tuesday. Despite his endless potential, Virtanen was used scarcely and will likely be eased into his bottom-six role. He projects more as a top-six power forward, but likely won't get that kind of opportunity out of the gate. The fact that Virtanen is getting a taste at the next level is exciting for his owners in dynasty formats, but he offers little to zero upside in standard leagues.
