Friday's Winger Value Rankings
Here are theScore's winger value rankings for Friday, February 5:
Top Options
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Johnny Gaudreau (CGY) | vs. CLB | 9 |
| Blake Wheeler (WPG) | vs. CAR | 9 |
| Boone Jenner (CLB) | at CGY | 8 |
Gaudreau is an an easy position to produce with a home matchup against the worst defensive club in the NHL. His value is just a tick below his center Sean Monahan's due to the price difference.
Wheeler is one of the safest DFS plays there is with 141 shots on the season. His home matchup against the shaky netminding of Carolina makes him a must-own in cash games.
Best of the Rest
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Patric Hornqvist (PIT) | at TB | 7 |
| Corey Perry (PIT) | vs. ARI | 7 |
| Cam Atkinson (CLB) | at CGY | 7 |
| Chris Kunitz (PIT) | at TB | 6 |
| Sam Bennett (CGY) | vs. CLB | 6 |
| Brandon Saad (CLB) | at CGY | 6 |
| Scott Hartnell (CLB) | at CGY | 6 |
| Nick Foligno (CLB) | at CGY | 5 |
Atkinson's top line status grants him supremacy over his fellow teammates. The shift winger also has four goals in his past three games with 13 shots.
Perry has been lighting it up lately with nine points over his last six games as the Ducks have gained momentum with four wins in a row.
Hornqvist and Kunitz contain high value regardless of the matchup as long as they continue to skate alongside Sidney Crosby.
Nothing to See Here
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Max Domi (ARI) | at ANA | 3 |
| Mikkel Boedker (ARI) | at ANA | 3 |
| Steven Stamkos (TB) | vs. PIT | 2 |
| Phil Kessel (PIT) | at TB | 2 |
Stamkos does not belong on the wing. His value is significantly lower as long as he stays out of the middle.
Kessel has played well lately, but he can't be trusted with Evgeni Malkin out of the lineup.
