DAILY PRIME TODAY: JETS EK'D OUT A WIN, PROMISING D-MEN MAKE THEIR ... primepucks.com Tue 12/17/13 8:13 AM

Evander Kane returned to the Winnipeg lineup in a big way. EK scored the eventual game-winner and added an assist.  Before his injury, EK had just 7 goals and 7 assists in 26 games, not exactly the superstar stats the team was hoping for.  But there is still plenty of season left and if there is any chance for you to grab EK from a disgruntled owner, make your pitch now, or forever hold your peace... More Fantasy Game Notes: Even though the story should be about the Penguins winning and Sidney Crosby scoring another goal, ho-hum, the real story of the night was sensational rookie/prospect defenseman Morgan Rielly of Toronto scoring his first NHL goal last night against the Pens on the power play. With 10 points in 26 games, it's still a learning process for the youngster.  You should be seeing more of that in the future, but this year is all about growing pains, but the reward at the end of the tunnel looks bright.....Speaking of bright young defensemen, Cody Ceci of the Ottawa Senators gave the team the much-needed two points last night against the visiting St. Louis Blues. Ceci made them blue alright when he scored his first NHL goal in overtime to give Robin Lehner the much-deserved win. Those in keeper/dynasty leagues will want to make sure you get Lehner and Ceci on your squads, with Lehner producing sooner than Ceci....If you are looking for goals and want to take a chance, Chris Stewart just may be the streaky, goal-scoring winger that you are looking for on the cheap. With 2 goals last night against the Sens, Stewart now has 4 goals in past 3 games.  He is as streaky as they come....Paul Stastny had been quiet as a church mouse during Christmas holiday, not scoring for 9 straight games, but last night Mr. Stastny woke up from his slumber with a 2-goal, 2-assist effort against the Dallas Stars. Kari Lehtonen had a night to forget as he let in 6 goals on 48 shots. You would think with a 42-save effort that he had a good night, but it was goodnight alright in the 2nd period as the Avs broke the game open with 4 unanswered goals. Stastny makes for a good 6th forward on your fantasy team, but you may have to put up with his streakiness. Both Stastny and P.A. Parenteau may be good ‘buy-low' candidates but don't expect too much as both have 21 points in 32/30 games played respectively....Tyler Seguin followed up his 4-point effort with a goal and an assist against the Avalanche.
