Tuesday's Winger Value Rankings
Here are theScore's winger value rankings for Tuesday, March 8:
Top Options
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Filip Forsberg (NAS) | at WPG | 9 |
| Joe Pavelski (SJ) | at EDM | 8 |
| Jamie Benn (DAL) | at MON | 8 |
| Jordan Eberle (EDM) | vs. SJ | 8 |
| Mark Stone (OTT) | at CAR | 8 |
| Tomas Hertl (SJ) | at EDM | 8 |
| Craig Smith (NAS) | at WPG | 8 |
Forsberg, Smith and Mike Ribeiro have been one of the hottest lines in the NHL. Forsberg has 10 goals and five assists in his last 10 games, while Smith has five goals and seven assists in his last 10. The entire line is affordable enough to make a deadly stack.
Best of the Rest
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Mats Zuccarello (NYR) | at BUF | 7 |
| Nikita Kucherov (TB) | vs. BOS | 7 |
| Ondrej Palat (TB) | vs. BOS | 7 |
| Blake Wheeler (WPG) | vs. NAS | 7 |
| Phil Kessel (PIT) | at NYI | 7 |
| Taylor Hall (EDM) | vs. SJ | 7 |
| Alex Killorn (TB) | vs. BOS | 7 |
| Ryan Callahan (TB) | vs. BOS | 7 |
| Jeff Skinner (CAR) | vs. OTT | 6 |
| Patrick Marleau (SJ) | at EDM | 6 |
| Patric Hornqvist (PIT) | at NYI | 6 |
| Elias Lindholm (CAR) | vs. OTT | 6 |
| Boone Jenner (CLB) | vs. DET | 6 |
| Henrik Zetterberg (DET) | at CLB | 6 |
| Max Pacioretty (MON) | vs. DAL | 6 |
| James Neal (NAS) | at WPG | 6 |
| Gustav Nyquist (DET) | at CLB | 6 |
Tampa's offense has been clicking lately. They've reunited the Triplets - Palat, Kucherov and Tyler Johnson - while Killorn and Callahan have been producing alongside Stamkos. Killorn and Callahan are more known as checkers, but that stigma just keeps their DFS salary down.
| Name | Opposition | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Chris Kunitz (PIT) | at NYI | 5 |
| Justin Abdelkader (DET) | at CLB | 5 |
| Tomas Tatar (DET) | at CLB | 5 |
| Anders Lee (NYI) | vs. PIT | 5 |
| Cam Atkinson (CLB) | vs. DET | 5 |
| Scott Hartnell (CLB) | vs. DET | 5 |
| Evander Kane (BUF) | vs. NYR | 5 |
| Brad Marchand (BOS) | at TB | 5 |
| Dylan Larkin (DET) | at CLB | 5 |
| Zack Smith (OTT) | at CAR | 5 |
Nothing to See Here
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Nick Foligno (CLB) | vs.DET | 4 |
| Bobby Ryan (OTT) | at CAR | 3 |
| Loui Eriksson (BOS) | at TB | 3 |
| Mike Hoffman (OTT) | at CAR | 2 |
Eriksson has just one point in his last five games. His third line status gives him little upside.
Hoffman should be left alone until he works his way out of head coach Dave Cameron's dog house. He's played just 13:46 and 10:45 in his last two games.
