Pavel Datsyuk has a team-leading eight points in 10 games this season. Detroit has gotten off to a disappointing 5-4-1 start and the team has only scored 23 goals. Datsyuk has managed to rise above his team's collective cold streak in terms of offensive production, but their woes have still hurt his fantasy value. Datsyuk is minus-six over Detroit's last five games and he's a team-worst minus-five overall. Datsyuk is a career plus-182 player and he finished second on Detroit in that category last season despite only playing in 56 games. Look for his plus/minus rating, in relation to the rest of the team, to improve as the season goes on.
