High Salary Wings

Evander Kane – Buffalo Sabres ($6,400): Kane at his best can be a fantasy goldmine. He can deliver you goals, points, penalty minutes, hits, and shots on goal. This season, he has 16 goals, 25 points, 73 penalty minutes, 131 penalty minutes, and 205 shots on goal in 49 games for Buffalo. Kane has five goals, six points, 41 penalty minutes, 20 hits, and 48 shots on goal over his last 10 games. He goes tonight against the Ducks. The Sabres wing averages 3.6 fantasy hockey points per game.

He has been a tad bit cold as of late but he faces a favorable matchup tonight against the Sabres. The Ducks wing averages 3.5 fantasy hockey points per game.

Alex Ovechkin – Washington Capitals ($9,200): Ovechkin is worth splurging on because he’s arguably the hottest player in the league right now.
