Impact Martin snapped a 21-game point drought drought when he set up Kyle MacLean's goal in the second period. That scoring slump was over two months long, though that's not unusual for a player with Martin's skill set. He has a meager four points with 35 shots on net, 118 hits and a plus-4 rating through 40 appearances this season, so he doesn't need to be rostered the vast majority of fantasy formats.

Impact Martin shoveled in a Casey Cizikas pass at 2:42 of the third period to cut the deficit to two goals, but Vegas quickly responded. The tally was Martin's first point in four games since he returned from two stints on injured reserve with an upper-body injury. The 34-year-old winger has just three points and 16 shots to go with 40 points and 12 PIM through 18 outings this season, so he's not likely to be helpful in fantasy.
