Patrick Kane – Chicago Blackhawks ($9,100): Kane has 12 points in his last 10 games and 62 points in 44 games this season. He also has 46 shots on goal during his last ten games.

Blake Wheeler – Winnipeg Jets ($6,400): Wheeler has 41 points in 42 games this season for the Jets. He has eight points and 27 shots on goal in his last ten games. He goes against the Sharks tonight.

Brandon Saad – Columbus Blue Jackets ($6,500): Saad has 30 points in 42 games this season. The Blue Jackets have been bad but it is definitely not Saad’s fault.

High Value RW

Kyle Palmieri – New Jersey Devils ($4,700): Palmieri has been fantastic for the Devils this season. He has 31 points in 43 games for his hometown Devils. He has six points in his last ten games.
