Here are theScore's winger value rankings for Wednesday, January 6's five-game slate:
Top Options
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Kyle Palmieri (NJ) | at MTL | 9 |
| James van Riemsdyk (TOR) | at ANH | 8 |
| Jarome Iginla (COL) | vs. STL | 8 |
Until Carey Price is back between the pipes in Montreal, look for value against them. Palmieri registered a goal his last time out against the Habs. JVR is on an incredible tear with 12 points in his last 10 and he costs less than a number of players at your disposal.
Best of the Rest
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Alexander Steen (STL) | at COL | 7 |
| Daniel Sedin (VAN) | vs. CAR | 7 |
| Brendan Gallagher (MTL) | vs. NJ | 6 |
| Max Pacioretty (MTL) | vs. NJ | 5 |
| Vladimir Tarasenko (STL) | at COL | 5 |
Steen costs a bit less than Tarasenko, but both will provide solid returns. With Gallagher back in the fold, he and Pacioretty are worthy choices despite going up against solid goaltender Cory Schneider.
Nothing to See Here
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Phil Kessel (PIT) | at CHI | 4 |
| Patrick Kane (CHI) | vs. PIT | 4 |
Kessel's salary has not gone down far enough to match his lack of predictability. Kane often earns his incredibly high salary but unless he gets two points, he is not worth rostering.
