News: Downie's assist Tuesday against the Canucks stretches his point streak to four games. [+]
Impact: He has five helpers in those four and 31 in 56. His value is boosted by his 153 PIMs. He'd be in elite company if he can pull off 50 points and 200 PIMs. ( RotoWire - Tue. Feb 9, 2010) |
News: Niittymaki made 39 saves in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Vancouver. [+]
Impact: The Finnish streak is sensational right now but beware the unavoidable slump. Trade high if you can -- Mike Smith's owner would be your best bet. Niitty's value is limited but you have the leverage. ( RotoWire - Tue. Feb 9, 2010) |
News: St. Louis scored twice, including one while shorthanded, and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's win over the Canucks. The points extend his scoring streak to seven games and 11 points. [+]
Impact: He has goals in all but one of those games and seven goals and four assists total. The goals give him 20, a feat he has accomplished in the last seven consecutive seasons. And he's on pace for 28 goals and 93 points -- he'll help you win a title. ( RotoWire - Tue. Feb 9, 2010) | |

News: Parise snapped a four-game scoring drought with a tally in Monday's loss to Philadelphia. [+]
Impact: Parise's been a little quiet of late but he usually isn't too dormant too long. Space will open up for him on the power play with the addition of Ilya Kovalchuk and there are rumors the two of them may see time together at even strength despite playing the same position.

Patrik Elias (NJ - Center)
News: Elias registered an assist for the second-consecutive game, posting a helper in Monday's loss to the Flyers. [+]
Impact: Elias is an integral part to the team's attack and was denied by Michael Leighton on a legitimate scoring chance. Look for him to produce close to a point-per-game pace, as he'll be seeing plenty of ice time with Ilya Kovalchuk. ( RotoWire - Mon. Feb 8, 2010) |
News: Salmela said he had a headache, but was otherwise OK after being taken off the ice on a stretcher following a scary hit to the face from the Philadelphia Flyers' Jeff Carter on Monday night. [+]
Impact: Moments after scoring a short-handed goal that gave the Devils a 2-0 lead in the second period, Salmela was struck hard by Carter's right shoulder as he skated by. Salmela tumbled to the ice and remained face down for several minutes, until the Devils' medical staff lifted him onto a stretcher. The 25-year-old Salmela was playing in his second game with his new team. The goal was his first with the Devils and second this season. ( STATS - Mon. Feb 8, 2010) | |
