Here are the top sleeper options for Sunday, January 21:
W Richard Panik, Blackhawks (at Wild)
Panik has been promoted to the Blackhawks' first-line due to a lower-body injury W Marian Hossa sustained earlier this month.
Though Panik is left off the teams top power-play unit, he has registered three straight games with more than 13 minutes of ice-time, but failed to land his name on the scoresheet.
With his low-cost and thin four-game slate against a Wild team continuously struggling to win games, a big fantasy night could be in the cards for Panik while playing alongside the perennial two-way C Jonathan Toews and gritty W Andrew Shaw.
C/W Mike Santorelli, Ducks (vs. Flames)
Santorelli was promoted to the Ducks' first-line when teammate Chris Stewart broke his jaw on February 11. Since then, Santorelli has tallied three goals and two assists along with nine shots, returning his near minimum value in all but one of those games.
He's only averaging 10.1 minutes per night, but with additional time on the first-line, Santorelli is worth a flier against the Flames ghastly goaltending play of Jonas Hiller, who Santorelli already scored two goals against this season.
D Cam Fowler, Ducks (vs. Flames)
Fowler has quietly picked-up six assists in his past four outings, and possesses an extremely high-floor against the Flames bottom-feeding team defense.
He earns a significant amount of ice-time on Anaheim's top defensive pair and power-play unit. He will record a handful of shots and with the possibility of a couple of assists against Calgary's league worst penalty-kill percentage (71.2 percent). DFSers can roll him with assurance he will return value.
G Robin Lehner, Sabres (vs. Flyers)
The Penguins peppered Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop with 39 shots Saturday afternoon, and they only came away with two goals while losing the game 4-2.
Lehner has faced more than 30 shots in seven of his last ten starts, so rostering him and his stellar .932 save percentage will lead to cash game success against a fatigued Penguins team.
