DAILY PRIME OCTOBER 12, 2013: CLAUDE GIROUX, TOMAS FLEISCHMANN, TYL... primepucks.com Sat 10/12/13 9:07 AM

Well the Flyers may have changed coaches, but their fortunes haven't changed all that much. They lost last night to Phoenix 2-1. The team is really struggling to score as their top forward Claude Giroux has now gone 5 games without a point. They really need him to step it up. He could be a bargain right now if someone in your pool is willing to give him up. Tom Greiss was great in goal for the Coyotes with 36 saves, but he is just the back-up to Mike Smith. Phoenix defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson scored the power-play game winner on a nifty move that left the Philly d-men stuck in neutral..  We are very high on Ekman-Larsson, who will develop into an elite fantasy defenseman. It's just a matter of time. Just imagine OEL played for an offensively adept team, such as Pittsburgh or Washington! He would be top-five in fantasy for sure. Too much Tomas for the Penguins: In a bit of a surprising game, the Panthers beat the Penguins 6-3. Florida forward Tomas Fleischmann had a big night with a goal and three assists. Please don't expect games like this to happen too often for him as he is, at best, a 60 point player.  The more interesting thing that happened last night was young Aleksander Barkov, who electrified the home crowd with a goal and two assists. The Panthers first round draft pick seems to have adjusted very quickly to the NHL, as he now has five points in five games so far this year.  Grab him if you can, as his keeper league upside is unlimited. Tippecanoe and Tyler Too: Dallas forward Tyler Seguin had a big night against Winnipeg with two goals and two assists. As you may recall, Seguin was traded from Boston for Loui Eriksson. The Bruins had grown tired of Seguin's supposed partying antics and they seemed to view his play as lacking effort.  But he is just 21 years old and with a bit of maturity, he could be a potential 100 point scorer one day. Jamie Benn had a nice game for Dallas as well with a goal and two assists. Sky-High in Calgary: Joey MacDonald is now undefeated in regulation time in goal for Calgary with a 3-0-1 record. His other numbers, however, tell the real story.  He has a 2.98 goals against average and a .897 save percentage.  Don't expect him to keep winning like this.  Defenseman Mark Giordano had a goal and an assist in Calgary's 3-2 win over New Jersey. His 5:02 minutes on the power-play led all Calgary skaters, so the Flames captain needs to be on your fantasy radar. If his role remains prominent on the man advantage, he has the ability to approach his career-high of 43 points set a few years back.
