Player News

Antoine Vermette pots 7th goal in loss | 03/22/2013 12:56 AM

News

Antoine Vermette netted the lone goal for the Coyotes in their 2-1 loss to the Canucks on Thursday night.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Vermette ended a five-game pointless skid. For a player receiving as much ice time as he does, Vermette doesn't produce at a top-six-forward rate. He has just seven goals and 14 points in 31 games this year. Radim Vrbata and Oliver Ekman-Larsson had the assists.

Vermette has two points in Coyotes 4-0 win | 02/19/2013 2:07 AM

News

Antoine Vermette scored his fourth goal and added his fourth assist of the season in the Phoenix Coyotes 4-0 win over over the Calgary Flames.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

While he flashes the skill he has on nights like these, his career numbers have him miscast in a top six role. There was a time where Vermette was projected as one, but since he's 30 those days are long gone. However, the Coyotes severe lack of skill in the forward department has him in one. He now has eight points in 16 games and the oppertunity to put up good numbers but so far he hasn't delievered on a consistent basis. Keep an eye on him for waiver wire purposes if he goes on a mini hot streak but other than that he's a dime a dozen player.

Antoine Vermette has 5 points in 8 games | 02/02/2013 6:00 PM

News

Antoine Vermette has three goals and five points in eight games this season.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Vermette has gotten some playing time with Steve Sullivan. Vermette is also getting plenty of power-play ice time, which makes him a decent bet to maintain his current pace.
