Patrick Kane, Chicago Blackhawks, Leads Fantasy NHL Week 10 Cold Front

Patrick Kane was excellent in last year’s playoffs. He has already proven to be a fantasy stud as he is also one of the most gifted players in the league. Kane has figured out how to perform throughout the season. Unfortunately, Kane will miss at least three weeks after suffering an injury this week. How will the Chicago Blackhawks fare without their superstar wing?

Bobby Ryan has been terrible for his fantasy owners, doing more harm than good for them. He failed to score a goal or record an assist. He was -2 for the week. Even worse, he has only taken eight shots on goals.

One of the better defenseman in the game, Boyle struggled to produce this week. It is always a huge plus when a defenseman helps fill the categories, but when one of your top defenseman fails to do so it almost feels like a wasted opportunity. Boyle did take seven shots on goal but failed to score. He did dish out one assist and was zero for plus/minus.

Anderson is a good goalie but in the midst of a rough season. He has battled injury this season and thus far, has failed to live up to his ranking. He has having another rough week. He has a .891 save percentage for the week with zero wins.

Hopefully Anderson can turn it around soon.

Stamkos was on a torrid pace recently but has since surprisingly cooled down.

Stamkos has done nothing to help his fantasy owners over the past week after he was previously filling the categories all by himself.

He hasn’t scored a goal or dished out an assist this week. He is also -2 for the week.

Luckily for his fantasy owners, Stamkos is one of the premier players in the NHL and won’t be kept down for long.

Kane suffered an injury this week and was unable to produce prior. He failed to score a goal or record an assist this week. He hurt his owners by leaving them with a -1 mark in the category. Kane is expected to be out at least three weeks so adjust fantasy lineups accordingly.
