Starting with the late-night thriller between Pittsburgh and Los Angeles, Marc-Andre Fleury withstood a 31-shot barrage to hold on for his ninth shutout of the season. Patrick Hornqvist provided the game-winner in overtime, improving his goal to seven over the last seven games. After a mid-season dip in offensive production, the former Nashville winger has resumed his early-season scoring ways where he was one of the hottest fantasy assets with 25 points in his first 23 games. With all their key forwards healthy for the stretch run, look for Hornqvist to close the season on a point-per-game pace and back to fantasy must-start status.. Speaking of streaking, Vancouver's Radim Vrbata scored two goals to extend his point-streak to four games. Even though fantasy owners rather him play on the top line with the Sedin twins, the winger has delivered a team-leading 25 goals and still gets primary power-play time. If you have him on your bench, it might be time to start him while the Canucks push hard for a playoff spot. With Eddie Lack manning the crease instead of the injured Ryan Miller, there will be a stronger focus on the offense carrying the team.. Let's just re-name John Tavares Art Ross as the Islanders star continues to lead the NHL in scoring with another dominant effort, a goal and two assists in South Florida. With Kyle Okposo nearing a return, there has been plenty of debate on how the top line will look when he gets back. For my money, Anders Lee has more than earned his spot alongside JT so he should stay put. A Tavares-Okposo-Lee unit would reap huge fantasy dividends for all three... Big news in Dallas as Tyler Seguin returned to action last night, not missing a beat with two goals in the 5-3 loss to Tampa Bay. Jason Spezza's fantasy value once again takes a slight hit as he returns back to second-line center duties but he remains a fixture on the no. 1 power-play unit. Breakout defenseman John Kingberg left the contest with a lower-body injury and is listed as day-to-day. With Trevor Daley also out, this could be the best and only time to start Alex Goligoski who has been a bitter fantasy disappointment. He could string together a decent stretch of games with those two out. Consider playing him.. The Leafs were beaten down by the St. Louis Blues, as Vladimir Tarasenko plus Jaden Schwartz and TJ Oshie each collected a goal and an assist.One fact remains true- Phil Kessel is definitely unstarteable in all fantasy formats, while Tarasenko has quietly remained consistent all season long to maintain his fantasy elite status. Plenty of doubts linger concerning Kessel's future fantasy worth, but "Vladdy" is just getting started... Superhuman Semyon Varlamov saved the game for the Avalanche with his 44-save shutout in Columbus, but look for him to fall back if he starts against the surging Minny Wild today. Not a good spot for him after a busy night at the office... Av's defenseman Tyson Barrie has been on fire lately, collecting three helpers for a robust 7 points over the last 4 games. 43 points in 63 games. 50 here we come... Here our Carey Price's numbers after his 28-save shutout against the Arizona Coyotes: 37 wins;1.89 GAA, .936 SP. MVP anyone? A fantasy difference-maker of the highest kind... Another strong game for the "Great Eight" as Alex Ovechkin scored a goal and an assist in the 6-1 drubbing of Buffalo. Nicklas Backstrom notched two helpers and is the sleeper pick to capture the Art Ross. Maybe the best fantasy forward nobody ever talks about in the elite category. It's time to take notice because he does make AO better.
