Roman Polak is proving himself as a penalty killer for the Leafs. He's averaging 3:31 on the ice, highest among Leafs' defenders, and has been instrumental in helping the team move up to 13th in penalty killing (heading into Sunday's games).

Polak probably won't bring fantasy owners much value this season, but he will help keep his goalies insulated from attack. So owners of Jonathan Bernier and James Reimer should send him a card of thanks right now.
