You’ve come to the right place. Try these hot players on for size. 

Center

Patrick O’Sullivan, Los Angeles

O'Sullivan has five points (all assists) over his last four games (1.25 points per game) for the Kings and at least a point in five straight. He had 14 points (seven goals, seven assists) in his first 25 games (0.56). 

I’d like to see him light the lamp every once in a while, but you can’t argue with his recent production. He’s a great value in Sporting News salary cap leagues at $2.21 million.

Winger

Ruslan Fedotenko, Pittsburgh

Fedotenko has six points (three goals, three assists) over his last four games (1.5 ppg). He’s tallied at least a point in each of those four games.

He had nine points (five goals, four assists) in his first 24 games (0.38). His plus-minus in his last four games is plus-three, and plus-one for the first 24. His cap number is $1.13 million.

Defenseman

Duncan Keith, Chicago

Keith has four points (all assists) over his last four games for the Blackhawks. He had 10 points (two goals, eight assists) in his first 24 games (0.42). His plus-seven rating over his last four games matches the plus-seven he had in his first 24 games.

Goalie

Steve Mason, Columbus

Mason has gone 2-1 over his last three starts with a goals-against average of 1.32 and a .951 save percentage. He was 6-4-1 with a .915 save percentage in his first 11 games. His hot streak has lowered his GAA to 2.00. He’s a nice value at $3.57 million.
