Labanc scored a goal on four shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Labanc gave the Sharks their first lead of the contest with his goal at 4:48 of the second period. The 25-year-old winger has struggled to get on the scoresheet recently, as his goal Monday snapped a six-game point drought. He's up to six points, 36 swhots and a minus-2 rating through 14 contests. If he remains on the top line next to Logan Couture and Evander Kane, Labanc could be worth a look in DFS going forward.

Labanc notched an assist and four shots on goal in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Labanc set up Ryan Donato for the Sharks' first goal of the game. The 25-year-old Labanc has done alright in a second-line role, as he now has three points, 20 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through six contests. He's worth a look in deeper formats, especially if he can get going on the power play soon. He had 56 points in 82 contests in 2018-19 before regressing to 33 points in 70 outings last year.

EDGE Analysis
Labanc opened the scoring 11:38 into the game, deflecting a Brent Burns point shot while parked in the slot.

Labanc has four shots on goal and a plus-1 rating through two games but has failed to record a point.
EDGE Analysis
After scoring less than a half-point-per-game last season, Labanc has started the 2020-21 season with some early scoring troubles. His playing time, both overall and on the power play, is about the same as last season and he's still secure in a top-six role. His scoring should improve as the season moves on, but Labanc could be in line for another letdown with his offensive numbers.

Labanc signed a four-year contract worth $4.725 million AAV with the Sharks on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Labanc regressed a bit after posting 56 points over 82 games during the 2018-19 season, as he recorded 14 goals and 19 assists last season. The Sharks as a whole took a step back, though, and Labanc kept pace with the rest, ending up as a top-five goal scorer on the team. Labanc will be a key building block as the Sharks attempt a quick rebuild after last year's disappointment. The 24-year-old is expected to operate in the top six moving forward, and he'll be an excellent fantasy option during the upcoming season, especially if he can get back on track on the power play where he posted 20 points two seasons ago.
