Wednesday's Winger Value Rankings
Here are theScore's winger value rankings for Wednesday, February 17:
Top Options
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Brendan Gallagher (MTL) | at COL | 9 |
| Gabriel Landeskog (COL) | vs. MTL | 9 |
| Max Pacioretty (MTL) | at COL | 8 |
| Matt Duchene (COL) | vs. MTL | 8 |
The most goal scoring potential on the night is in Colorado. Neither Ben Scrivens nor Semyon Varlamov inspire much confidence in net, so feel free to load up on players like Gallagher and Landeskog, or even spend up for Pacioretty.
Best of the Rest
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Johnny Gaudreau (CGY) | vs. MIN | 7 |
| Jiri Hudler (CGY) | vs. MIN | 7 |
| Blake Comeau (COL) | vs. MTL | 6 |
| Jarome Iginla (COL) | vs. MTL | 6 |
| Artemi Panarin (CHI) | at NYR | 5 |
Gaudreau keeps churning out big games and Hudler is a model of inexpensive consistency. Two of the few bright sparks on the Flames. Comeau is the least flashy member of Colorado's top line. He doesn't cost much, but he also doesn't score enough to be worth rostering nightly. The favorable matchup increases his value.
Nothing to See Here
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Patrick Kane (CHI) | at NYR | 4 |
| Mats Zuccarello (NYR) | vs. CHI | 4 |
| Zach Parise (MIN) | at CGY | 3 |
| Michael Frolik (CGY) | vs. MIN | 2 |
| Chris Kreider (NYR) | vs. CHI | 2 |
Fading Kane and his salary makes sense against G Henrik Lundqvist. Fading Parise makes sense against pretty much everyone until his salary drops a bit further. Zuccarello is more expensive than his peers in New York, and shouldn't be your first choice as a result.
