Winnik, who brings a defense-first mentality to the game, has clicked with newcomer Nick Spaling on the Leafs' third line. "Our goal is the same, to shut the other team down," said Winnik. "But at the same time we understand when you're in the offensive zone and try to score goals, that's what makes it hard for them to score against you."

The two play a strong, down-low game in the offensive zone and are tough in the cycle. And they roll over the boards on the penalty kill, too, in addition to regular third-line duty. Winnik has scored 20 goals in an NHL season, though, so he could have some fantasy value in super-deep leagues where he could be rolled as a forward, not a center.
