I’m quickly trying to trade him away before ESPN Fantasy Hockey begins reporting the injury.

Any idea who will take his spot, the faceoff machine Steckle?

ESPN beat me to the punch. I picked up Henrique in his place. Hopefully it will work for me.

well I decided to go for Malone in his place......I just hope for the streak to continue with him and Stamkos....

Good pickup I've been advocating him for a few days now since he got promoted to center the Kovy-Parise line. Zajac isn't coming back before Christmas they are saying so he should be secure in that spot as long as he continues to produce. I mean 3 goals and 2 assists in the 3 games since being promoted, I'd say he's doing a decent job. And that 2 goal game was one that Kovy was out (I think he's out again tomorrow it looks like). I like the kid a lot...and he's on a great line.

I wonder if Bozak gets moved back into the top 6 with Connolly's injury. I believe he was on the Kessell-Lupul line before Connolly came back and then dropped back to the 3rd line IIRC. If he moves back in, I think he gets immediate value. He was dishing out assists with regularity on that line.
