Here are theScore's winger value rankings for Saturday, January 9. Note that the two games beginning at 1 p.m. EST are excluded.

Value Rankings
C | W | D | G

Top Options

Name Opponent Value
Kris Letang (PIT) at MON 10
Brent Burns (SJ) vs. TOR 9
Roman Josi (NSH) at ARI 9
Shea Weber (NSH) at ARI 9

With nine points in his last four games, Letang has been an absolute monster since returning from injury. He is a must-roster against the Canadiens.

Josi is a great cash game play thanks to his ability to earn points from blocks and shots on goal.

Best of the Rest

Name Opponent Value
Anton Stralman (TB) at VAN 8
Erik Karlsson (OTT) vs. BOS 8
P.K. Subban (MON) vs. PIT 8
Justin Faulk (CAR) at CLB 7
John Klingberg (DAL) vs. MIN 7
Oliver Ekman-Larsson (ARI) vs. NSH 7
Kevin Shattenkirk (STL) at LA 6
Ryan Suter (MIN) at DAL 6
Drew Doughty (LA) vs. STL 5

Though Stralman doesn't have the notoriety of other top blueliners, he has points in five of his last six games. His cheap salary and recent production give him immense value against the defensively-weak Canucks.
