T.J. Oshie, St. Louis Blues – T.J. has 11 points (4 goals, 7 assist) and a +4 rating in his last nine games (1.22 points per game). He had 25 points and a +12 rating in his first 42 games (0.60). He has a salary cap of $0.50 in the SportingNews salary cap game, and is owned in 2.6% of ESPN and 5% of Yahoo leagues.
Winger
Ales Kotalik, Edmonton Oilers – Ales is riding a four-game goal streak. He has a +2 rating during that stretch. He had 36 points (14 goals, 22 assist) and a -8 rating in his first 65 games (0.55). His SN cap number is $1.79M, and is owned in 30% of ESPN and 21% of Yahoo leagues.
Defenseman
Brent Seabrook, Chicago Blackhawks – Besides having a killer last name, Seabrook has five points (1 goal, 4 assists) and a +2 rating in his last five games. He had 18 points (6 goals, 12 assists) and a +18 rating in his first 69 games (0.26). He has a $1.29M SN cap number, and is owned in 94.7% of ESPN and 50% of Yahoo leagues.
Goalie
Chris Mason, St. Louis Blues – I’ve profiled him before, but judging by his $3.47M SN cap number and ownership (44.4% in ESPN and 60% in Yahoo), I need to call attention to him again. Chris has won his last five games with a 1.80 Goals Against Avergage and 93.3% Save Percentage. He was 18-20-6 with a 91.5% Save Percentage before his streak, which help lower his season GAA to 2.44.
