Saturday's Winger Value Rankings
Here are theScore's winger value rankings for Saturday, February 20. Note the Lightning-Penguins game is excluded due to its 12:30 EST start time.
Top Options
| NAME | OPPOSITION | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Jordan Eberle (EDM) | vs. COL | 9 |
| Brad Marchand (BOS) | at DAL | 9 |
| Wayne Simmonds (PHI) | at TOR | 9 |
| Jakub Voracek (PHI) | at TOR | 8 |
| Blake Wheeler (WPG) | at FLA | 8 |
Eberle looks the be the complete package Saturday night. He has 12 points in his last ten, a matchup against backup goalie Calvin Pickard, and an economical price tag.
Simmonds and Voracek could feast upon the Leafs and Jonathan Bernier.
Wheeler is a cash game play against a struggling Roberto Luongo.
Best of the Rest
| NAME | OPPOSITION | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Alex Ovechkin (WAS) | vs. NJ | 7 |
| Jamie Benn (DAL) | vs. BOS | 7 |
| Filip Forsberg (NAS) | vs. LA | 7 |
| Jaromir Jagr (FLA) | vs. WPG | 6 |
| Mark Stone (OTT) | vs. DET | 6 |
| Gabriel Landeskog (COL) | at EDM | 6 |
| Loui Eriksson (BOS) | at DAL | 6 |
Ovechkin has fired 10 shots on net in three of his past four games. That will help cement his floor, but he needs to score at least twice to return great value on his salary.
Forsberg has a tough matchup against Jonathan Quick but with six goals in six games, he is still worth rostering.
| NAME | OPPOSITION | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Vladimir Tarasenko (STL) | at ARI | 5 |
| T.J. Oshie (WAS) | vs. NJ | 5 |
| James Neal (NAS) | vs. LA | 5 |
| Tyler Toffoli (LA) | at NAS | 5 |
| Taylor Hall (EDM) | vs. COL | 4 |
| Mike Hoffman (OTT) | vs. DET | 4 |
Hall has one point in his last seven games. His matchup works in favor but he is probably best left off your roster.
Nothing to See Here
| NAME | OPPOSITION | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Patrick Sharp (DAL) | vs. BOS | 3 |
| Alexander Steen (ATL) | at ARI | 3 |
