Tyler Toffoli scored two goals while linemate Tanner Pearson scooped up two assists in the Kings 3-2 loss to Colorado. They will have their moments of "hot" scoring stretches playing with Jeff Carter, but the lack of playing time should temper your fantasy expectations. Playing behind Anze Kopitar and Marian Gaborik on a defensive-minded team can't help...
A few superstars already in mid-season form: Corey Perry, who scored the OT game-winner against the Sharks and Sergei Bobrovsky, who stopped 45 of 47 shots in the win over Nashville...
Two of the 60-point variety which are excellent middle-round value picks, Boston C Patrice Bergeron (3G) and Minnesota RW Jason Pominville (3A) enjoyed huge nights. Very consistent but not much upside. You need these type of forwards to win, so don't take for granted...
Forever teasing us with his immense talent, Winnipeg's Evander Kane gave us more to think about with two goals in the 4-1 win over Calgary. If you can take him close to the mid-rounds, I say low risk/high reward as he is going to explode one day soon...
Is Willie Desjardins going to fo wonders for the Sedins out in Vancouver? You betcha, as Daniel scores ones while brother Henrik chips in with two helpers. Just like the old days. Don't forget about Radim Vrbata who picked up his 3rd preseason goal on his new team. Only a few years removed from a 35-goal campaign, this guy can bury the puck. If he clicks with "Swedish Heaven", he is a downright steal in the late rounds..
David Krejci left the Boston game with a very monor injury, but should be ready to go by Opening night..
Memo to Lubomir Visnovsky owners- Nick Leddy is coming! Even if starts the season opener, Visnovsky will find it difficult to stay healthy the entire season. The young Leddy is oozing offensive upside and is getting a new lease on life after his trade from Chicago, so he is well worth a flier.
