CHICAGO, IL – MARCH 27: Cam Atkinson /

Boone Jenner is a stat sheet machine. He plays hard every night and if you are in a league that tracks more than just goals and assist, Jenner should be a late round target for your squad.

Jenner has had two, just O.K. seasons following his 30 goal breakout year in 2015. But he has had two sub 10% shooting percentage years following three seasons where he broke 10% so I’m putting money on him breaking the double digit threshold this season.

That would easily get Boone over the 20 goal mark this season. Add in another 20 assist and 210 hits, and you’ve got yourself a great late round steal. He’s also blocked a shot per game over the last two seasons which is great for a forward.

Boone is still only 25-years-old and just coming into his prime as an NHLer. He has been a solid player fantasy wise over the last few years because of his periphery stats and this year he should bring some more scoring to the table. That’s a must have combination for a late round pick like Boone.

Keep an eye on this Columbus Blue Jackets sleeper late in your draft.
