Here are theScore's winger value rankings for Friday, November 20:
Top Options
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| James Neal (NAS) | at CLB | 10 |
| Taylor Hall (EDM) | vs. NJ | 9 |
| Brendan Gallagher (MTL) | at NYI | 8 |
| Max Pacioretty (MTL) | at NYI | 8 |
| Patrick Kane (CHI) | at CGY | 8 |
Neal has five points in his past four games, allowing him to meet his modest price tag. Pacioretty has two assists and two shots on goal in his previous meeting with the Islanders, setting him up for another nice outing.
Kane's price has risen to a point where it's nearly impossible to return value. He has two points in each of his past two games, but that hasn't been enough. He will produce, but that's not necessarily enough at this point.
Best of the Rest
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Filip Forsberg (NAS) | at CLB | 7 |
| Marian Hossa (CHI) | at CGY | 7 |
| Jordan Eberle (EDM) | vs. NJ | 6 |
| Tanner Pearson (LA) | at DET | 6 |
| Jeff Skinner (CAR) | vs. TOR | 6 |
Forsberg has three assists in his past four games and eight SOG in his past three. He's a very safe option against a Blue Jackets team on the second half of a back-to-back and coming off a loss.
Hossa has ended his slump in a big way, compiling four points in his last three games. He also has at least three SOG in four straight games, and his price has risen only slightly.
Nothing to See Here
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Johnny Gaudreau (CGY) | vs. CHI | 2 |
| Scott Hartnell (CLB) | vs. NAS | 2 |
| Nick Foligno (CLB) | vs. NAS | 2 |
| Gustav Nyquist (DET) | vs. LA | 1 |
| Jiri Hudler (CGY) | vs. CHI | 1 |
Gaudreau has just one assist in his past five games, and owners should allow him to breakout of his slump before investing. Nyquist has one or fewer shots on goal in four of his past five games. His price represents too much risk to expect an adequate return.
