A. Kostitsyn has seven points in five games
Andrei Kostitsyn - W - Montreal Canadiens
March 4, 2011 - 10:45 AM ET

Andrei Kostitsyn has been excelling on a line with Lars Eller and Travis Moen.

Kostitsyn has three goals and seven points in his last five games. "Andrei has an unbelievable shot, and if me and Travis can keep getting him the puck, you're going to see a lot more goals from him," Eller said. "He shoots hard and it's accurate, too. He's a skilled player who gets into the right areas. We have a lot of give-and-go." Kostitsyn has not been able to put up the numbers that many thought he was capable of when he was initially taken 10th overall in the 2003 NHL entry draft and it's hard to believe that Eller and Moen are the long-term solution. That being said, Kostitsyn has some fantasy value while he's hot.
