Avalanche's Patrick Wiercioch: Could set new defensive bests

Wiercioch has just 11 points and a minus-17 rating in 48 games this season.

Analysis:

Despite the lackluster offensive production, the veteran defenseman's 41 hits and 48 blocked shots, while modest, have him on pace for new career highs. That said, there's not much to see here from a fantasy perspective, so Wiercioch is probably best left to the waiver wire for the remainder of the season.
