Here are theScore's winger value rankings for Thursday, January 14:
Top Options
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Vladimir Tarasenko (STL) | vs. CAR | 9 |
| Patrick Kane (CHI) | at MTL | 9 |
| Alex Ovechkin (WAS) | vs. VAN | 9 |
| Patrick Marleau (SJ) | vs. EDM | 8 |
| Gustav Nyquist (DET) | at ARI | 8 |
| T.J. Oshie (WAS) | vs. VAN | 8 |
All the aforementioned players possess favorable matchups and are must-plays on Thursday's eight-game slate.
Best of the Rest
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Blake Wheeler (WPG) | vs. NAS | 7 |
| Taylor Hall (EDM) | vs. SJ | 7 |
| Tomas Tatar (DET) | at ARI | 7 |
| Artemi Panarin (CHI) | at MTL | 7 |
| Filip Forsberg (NAS) | at WPG | 7 |
| Alexander Steen (STL) | vs. CAR | 7 |
| Brendan Gallagher (MTL) | vs. CHI | 7 |
| Rick Nash (NYR) | at NYI | 7 |
Wheeler has been superb this year and is a significantly cheaper play than Kane or Ovechkin. Panarin piggybacks off Kane's success and DFSers should bank on him racking up points against a Carey Price-less Canadiens team.
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| James Neal (NAS) | at WPG | 6 |
| Max Pacioretty (MTL) | at CHI | 6 |
| Marian Hossa (CHI) | at MTL | 6 |
| Kyle Palmeri (NJ) | at COL | 6 |
| Mikkel Boedker (ARI) | vs. DET | 5 |
| Justin Abdelkader (DET) | at ARI | 5 |
| Tomas Hertl (SJ) | vs. EDM | 5 |
| Max Domi (ARI) | vs. DET | 5 |
On most DFS sites, Forsberg is significantly cheaper than Neal. Hossa has four points over his last two games and should be rolled against a struggling Montreal blueline.
Nothing to See Here
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Gabriel Landeskog (COL) | vs. NJ | 4 |
| Daniel Sedin (VAN) | at WAS | 4 |
| Kyle Okposo (NYI) | vs. NYR | 4 |
| Jeff Skinner (CAR) | at STL | 3 |
| Shane Doan (ARI) | vs. DET | 3 |
