Michalek only played 14:47, but with his ATOI over 18 minutes, expect that time to creep up within the week. Also, his goal count probably should wind up higher than his assists. Ottawa has a pretty good schedule conducive to scoring, so don’t be shocked to see a good return on investment with a player only owned in 20-to-25 per cent of all Fantasy leagues.

Jason Kubel hit the DL and Ross has been activated. We were a bit surprised to see Ross owned in so few leagues. He’s coming off a very solid 22-homer, 81-RBI season with the BoSox and should be a good source of power over the balance of 2013.

He’s earning minutes because of his defensive prowess, but he flashed a little something something offensively on Wednesday as well, dropping 17 points with 10 boards for his third double-double of the season as the Suns ended Dallas’ streak of 12 straight playoff appearances.

It’s all about the blocks and boards here and he’s really picked up the pace lately with 1.8 swats and 8.6 rebounds over the past five contests. Don’t look for offense here, but this skilled pick-and-roll player can definitely help get you over the hump in a couple of cats.

Tarasenko is surely a talent and a scary good one at that. Since his comeback from a concussion earlier in the season, the forward was oh so close to scoring so many times in the six-game stretch. Then he exploded for both goals against the Los Angeles Kings in a 4-2 loss. After 23 games, the Russian has 16 points and remains on track for a potential Calder Trophy nod. The four points in six games so far is a good indication of a solid April to come even if the Blues fall out of playoff contention.
