Here are theScore's winger value rankings for Thursday, October 22:
| # | Name | Opponent | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jason Pominville (MIN) | vs CLB | Low |
| 2 | Zach Parise (MIN) | vs CLB | Low |
| 3 | Patrick Marleau (SJ) | vs LA | Low |
| 4 | Mike Hoffman (OTT) | vs NJ | Low |
| 5 | Mark Stone (OTT) | vs NJ | Low |
| 6 | Phil Kessel (PIT) | vs DAL | Low |
| 7 | Daniel Sedin (VAN) | vs WAS | Low |
| 8 | Nick Foligno (CLB) | at MIN | Low |
| 9 | Brandon Saad (CLB | at MIN | Low |
| 10 | Rick Nash (NYR) | vs ARI | Low |
| 11 | Jamie Benn (DAL) | at PIT | Low |
| 12 | Patrick Kane (CHI) | vs FLA | Low |
| 13 | Alex Ovechkin (WAS) | at VAN | Low |
| 14 | Corey Perry (ANA) | at NAS | Low |
Unless John Tortorella plans on strapping on the pads himself, the Blue Jackets will continue to allow a boatload of goals; stack Minnesota.
Ottawa's youngsters are the real deal and underpriced with a decent matchup against New Jersey.
| # | Name | Opponent | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 | Bobby Ryan (OTT) | vs NJ | Medium |
| 16 | Thomas Vanek (MIN) | vs CLB | Medium |
| 17 | Chris Kunitz (PIT) | vs DAL | Medium |
| 18 | Matthew Nieto (SJ) | vs LA | Medium |
| 19 | Marian Hossa (CHI) | vs FLA | Medium |
| 20 | Mike Cammalleri (NJ) | at OTT | Medium |
| 21 | Radim Vrbata (VAN) | vs WAS | Medium |

| 30 | Adam Henrique (NJ) | at OTT | Medium |
| 31 | Chris Kreider (NYR) | vs ARI | Medium |
| 32 | Mats Zuccarello (NYR) | vs ARI | Medium |
The unfamiliar name here is Nieto, but he plays on San Jose's top line with a couple of Joes (Thornton and Pavelski) and the Kings haven't figured out how to keep the puck out of their net.
| # | Name | Opponent | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| 33 | Marian Gaborik (LA) | at SJ | High |
| 34 | T.J. Oshie (WAS) | at VAN | High |
| 35 | Jonathan Huberdeau (FLA) | at CHI | High |
| 36 | Jaromir Jagr (FLA) | at CHI | High |
| 37 | Anthony Duclair (ARI) | at NYR | High |
| 38 | Tyler Toffoli (LA) | at SJ | High |
| 39 | Scott Hartnell (CLB) | at MIN | High |
| 40 | Craig Smith (NAS) | vs ANA | High |
| 41 | Colin Wilson (NAS) | vs ANA | High |
| 42 | Milan Lucic (LA) | at SJ | High |
| 43 | Valeri Nichushkin (DAL) | at PIT | High |
| 44 | Jakob Silfverberg (ANA) | at NAS | High |
| 45 | Cam Atkinson (CLB) | at MIN | High |
The Kings have only scored six goals in five games! Gaborik, Toffoli and company will break out eventually, but not Thursday against the red-hot Martin Jones.
