The helper gives Niskanen a goal and four points in the first seven games, which should help him rebound from a lackluster 29-point campaign from 2017-18. The 31-year-old Minnesotan is part of Washington's shutdown pair with Dmitry Orlov, which means he gets plenty of ice time, but his minus-3 rating reflects the potential downside of facing those tougher matchups. Regardless, he's worth rostering in most formats.
