Nikita Gusev is having a strong rookie season for the New Jersey Devils.

The Wire Troll: Jonathan Quick Jumps Back in Time

Not your typical rookie — the Russian born Gusev is 27 — he’s still enjoying a very fine debut season. On Tuesday, his six-game point streak was snapped, but he’s coming off a very strong February (10 points in 14 games) and has been getting plenty of PP time of late. Gusev looks like a very fine option both in redraft leagues and in DFS play.

Video Game Review: The Yakuza Remastered Collection

This was our introduction to the series, having missed the first two games that launched on the PlayStation 2, so it was fun to revisit it. We were blissfully unaware of the controversy of having elements like the massage parlour removed from the U.S. launch, so it was fun to go back and tool around with a more complete version of the game. It’s also the only one of three here to feature Kiryu as the primary protagonist.

Cameron Johnson is starting to deliver for the Phoenix Suns.

The Wire Troll: Cameron Johnson Could Thrive Down the Stretch

Milton has been providing some key contributions to the Sixers lately, scoring 17 or more in three of the last four and on Thursday adding four assists, three boards, two blocks and a steal. He’s perfect from the line this month (not that he gets there that often, mind you), but most impressive is that he’s been playing at a top 30 level over the last week, so grab Milton while you can.

Video Game Review: Darksiders Genesis

It’s a nice mix and well implemented, making both solo and co-operative play feel viable and engaging. Progression is meaningful as you find or purchase upgrades that unlock new combos, ammo and weapon effect variants, gadgets for interacting with the environment and so on. The controller gets pretty busy with multiple attacks, dashing, blocking, jumping and more, and even after 20-plus hours we’d still get our wires crossed occasionally. Still, the variety is necessary to keep things interesting across so many battles.

Brandon Saad has picked up his scoring for the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Wire Troll: Brandon Saad Providing Scoring

We’ve already pimped Acciari this season, but he deserves a second look given what a good campaign he’s having. He picked up an assist on Thursday, was +1 for a third straight game and, with 10 shots over the last four, he’s been generating offense. Acciari ripped back-to-back hat tricks earlier this season, so he’s a dude capable of scoring in bunches. You’ll definitely want him on your team the next time he’s goes on a tear.
