NHL pre-season roundup: Ullmark nets shutout as Senators beat Devils 2-0

Ottawa defeated New Jersey 2-0 behind Halliday’s power-play tally and Lycksell’s empty-netter, with Ullmark stopping 14 shots in a Devils split-squad send-off. Romanov faced 31 shots in goal for New Jersey as Ottawa went 1-for-3 on the power play and the Devils went 0-for-3.

In the night-cap, Edmonton edged Vancouver 4-3 as Draisaitl piled up a monster line (2 goals, 2 assists) and McDavid added a goal and two helpers. Canucks replies came late from Raty, Cootes and Lekkerimaki, while Demko (20 saves) and Skinner (25 saves) held the fort for their respective teams.

From these preseason results, which players should fantasy managers prioritize for opening-night rosters in standard leagues?Are there any breakout candidates from the Oilers-Canucks game that could carry into the regular season?How should goaltending committees influence early-season value for these teams?Which Ottawa line combinations look most promising for fantasy managers this season?
