The Philadelphia Flyers are just in a bad state right now as they lost for the 8th time in their last 9 games, losing again to the New York Rangers in the back end of a home-and-home series. The Story for the Rangers offense was their depth as Derick Brassard scored twice and Jesper Fast and J.T. Miller potted their first of the season with Fast's being his first NHL goal with both adding assists as well. I wouldn't be surprised if Philadelphia didn't make some sort of move like replacing Craig Berube behind the bench or pulling off a big trade to shake things up..... For those lucky enough to draft Tyler Bozak, you have been rewarded with the best start to a season in his career. With 22 points in 23 games this season, Bozak is on pace to obliterate his season high of 49 points last year, and that was in 58 games.  Playing alongside Phil Kessel (2A) doesn't hurt. James van Riemsdyk (2A), who after a somewhat slow start to the season, now has 13 points in 13 November games. All three should be in your starting lineups... Don't look now but the Buffalo Sabres are thundering back into legitimacy as they won for the 5th time in the past 6 games with a 4-3 shootout win over the Montreal Canadiens, who lost both ends of the home-and-home series. Jhonas Enroth was the story as he stopped 41 of 44 for his 4th win in past 5 starts. The Sabres now will face Tampa Bay in a home-and-home series this week so the schedule doesn't lighten up.... Speaking of Tampa, G Ben Bishop raised his record to 14-3-2 with a 4-1 win over the Ottawa Senators, where he had played briefly in 2012-13, to keep him apace with the league leaders. Bishop has developed into a go-to guy in fantasy circles playing with the Bolts..... Jaroslav Halak has won for the ninth straight time defeating the New Jersey Devils 3-1, making Halak a must-start in fantasy circles as the Islanders are for real this season. When you have a superstar like John Tavares leading the way, and back that up with some steady goaltending, you know you have a chance every night.... It's time to take notice of Calgary's Jiri Hudler, carried the offense with a goal and two assists in their 3-0 win in Arizona. The 30-year old extended his point streak to four games and has been basically a point-per game producer with 23 points in 24 games. Coming off a 54-point effort in his second year with Calgary, Hudler has become the veteran centerpiece of a young but talented forward corps, so give him a look. His 50.5 % ownership in ESPN fantasy leagues is way too low.. If you need a short-term fix on offense, you consider taking a flier on Kris Versteeg and to a lesser extent, Brad Richards. The duo has clicked with the prolific Patrick Kane on Chicago's second unit, combining for four points in their 4-1 triumph over the Kings. Versteeg has 18 points on the season, including 13 in his last ten games. With Patrick Sharp nearing a return, expect the potential line shuffling to possibly affect his fantasy value, but he is very starteable right now.. Mikko Koivu has been dreadful with nine points in 23 games, but after his goal last night, the Minny center now has four points in his last four games. Hold onto him as he is slowly emerging into form.. Colorado defenseman Tyson Barrie was absolutely dominant in their 5-2 win over Dallas, racking up three assists, five SOG, and playing a whopping 7:57 on the power-play. The youngster has taken the elite route this season with 18 points in 24 games, so treat him as such. Barrie is the real deal.. Apparently, being hospitalized on Saturday due to illness was not enough to keep Logan Couture out of the line-up last night as he was played "big" with two huge goals in the 6-4 Shark's win over Anaheim. This was Couture's first multi-point outing in his last ten games, so maybe the streaky winger gets "hot" again... An elite effort by Corey Perry in the losing cause, as his two goals and an assist is a clear sign that the superstar is fully back after the mumps set him back for a brief time..
