Ryan O'Reilly collected two goals and an assist in the 4-3 victory over Los Angeles, quickly asserting himself as a viable fantasy option, as he has been shifted to left wing on Colorado's top line during camp. Playing a regular shift with arguably the two most talented Avalanche forwards, Matt Duchene and P.A. Parenteau, will provide a decent spike to his numbers. On the rise.. Not a great debut for St. Louis goalie Jaroslav Halak, who stumbled in his first start by allowing 4 goals on 23 shots in the 4-3 loss to Tampa Bay. With Brian Elliott and even Jake Allen ready to pounce, Halak's standing as the Blue's no. 1 backstopper is tenuous at best. If you draft him, you might need to consider adding Elliott fairly early.. I don't love Tampa's new free agent addition Valtteri Filppula, but he should be locked in as the second-line center with Vincent Lecavalier out of town. The underachieving Swede dished out three assists last night, but he will require a healthy dose of power-play time to get close to the 60-pt. range in '13-14. Training Camp Update: All signs points to Claude Giroux being available for Philadelphia's season opener, as the star center might be playing in Tuesday's preseason game.. Boston's Patrice Bergeron has received medical clearance to play in today's exhibition game. Can fantasy owners expect him to return to his 70+ point days? Only injuries could hold him back.. News from Toronto is that forward Nazem Kadri's x-rays on an apparent hand injury turned out negative. Expect him ready to go when the real games begin.. Is Leaf goalie Jonathan Bernier banged up? Despite stopping 10 of 11 shots on Thursday, he complained of an undisclosed injury. Coach Randy Carlyle is referring to it as a "knee irritation". Obviously, if anything happens to Bernier, James Reimer's fantasy value skyrockets. Just like that!

Chicago Blackhawks: Overrated: Brent Seabrook    One 40+ pt. season in his 8-year career. Will most likely lose top power-play time to Nick Leddy Underrated: Patrick Sharp      Prior to injury-plagued 2012/13 campaign, scored 67 goals in two seasons. Consistent scoring threat. Colorado Avalanche: Overrated: Erik Johnson            Still waiting for the former overall no.1 pick to live up to his potential. Huge fantasy bust. Underrated: P.A. Parenteau     His 43 points in 48 games proved he doesn't need John Tavares. Borderline point-per-game producer Dallas Stars: Overrated: Alex Goligoski        Don't get me wrong. Should be a lock for 40, but this d-man is not consistent enough to warrant fantasy elite status Underrated: Jamie Benn         Move to wing and chance to play with Tyler Seguin could result in breakout season Minnesota Wild: Overrated: Dany Heatley No longer the sure-fire 40-50 goal scorer, but has settled in a decent secondary threat. Parise is clearly the Wild's best LW. Period. Underrated: Mikko Koivu Not an elite point-producer, but could flourish while playing with Parise in Year 2. 70-75 point upside if he stays healthy.

AVALANCHE LINE PLANS: According to Adrian Dater of the Denver Post, Avalanche Head coach Patrick Roy has set his line combinations before going into training camp: LINE 1: C Matt Duchene- LW Ryan O' Reilly- RW P.A. Parenteau; LINE 2: C Paul Stastny- LW Gabriel Landeskog- RW Alex Tanguay; and LINE 3: C Nathan MacKinnon- LW Jamie McGinn- RW Steve Downie. Very interesting, considering Reilly will be shifted to left wing, while Tanguay will play the right side on the 2nd line. If this hold true, then the Av's plan to hold on to all their young centers. Let's see how this plays out when the free agency period begins on July 5. read more

Parenteau had a breakout season with the Isles last year and could help spark the Avs' offense.

Parenteau misses the rest of the season with what looks like a serious knee injury. The diminutive forward scored 18 goals and 67 points through 80 games.

Sounds like Parenteau's injury is serious and might require surgery. The diminutive forward scored 18 goals and 67 points through 80 games.

Parenteau moves back onto the top line. Through 72 games, he scored 16 goals and 64 points.

Parenteau gets back into the lineup but will play on the second line tonight. The impending UFA has 15 goals and 61 points in 69 games.
