Expectations arent high in Buffalo this season, but that can work in favour of the fantasy owner who is looking to find value. Top Picks: LW Thomas Vanek has scored 250 goals since 2005-2006, eighth-most in the NHL in that span, so he has to be accorded the respect of an elite scoring winger. The issue is that his supporting cast isnt ideal, which could make it difficult to put up numbers in his contract year. Last years supporting cast wasnt ideal, either, and Vanek still had a career-best 1.08 points per game. At the very least, hes a quality No. 2 left winger. Since 2007-2008, Ryan Miller has played in 371 games, ranking second among active goaltenders (behind only Henrik Lundqvist) and playing that much provides some value because, even on bad teams, goaltenders that play 65-70 games are going to accrue some wins. In that time, Miller has a .917 save percentage, which puts him in the Top 10, but his last three seasons (.916, .916 and .915) put him at slightly above an average starter. Essentially, his 2009-2010 season, when he had a .929 save percentage, is an outlier, but Miller is still worthy of a No. 2 goaltending post in fantasy. Christian Ehrhoff hasnt scored in Buffalo like he did in Vancouver, particularly on the power play, and that doesnt figure to change dramatically, but hes the Sabres number one scoring option on the blueline and good enough to fill a No. 3 spot on defence in most fantasy leagues. Value Plays: The path to a scoring centre role hasnt been the smoothest for 23-year-old Cody Hodgson, but he did score at a career-best rate (0.71 ppg) last season, while playing a career-high 18:24 per game. If hes getting first line minutes, there is a chance for decent production. Big minutes in Buffalo bring the risk of a negative plus-minus, but as No. 4 fantasy centre with upside, Hodgson has value. Tyler Ennis has a slightly longer track record than Hodgson and took some plus-minus lumps (minus-14 in 47 GP) last season, but hes a small, skilled forward who has had some productive stretches. As a low-risk play for potential in the later rounds, Ennis could provide a payoff. Sometimes, when players dont produce the biggest goal and assist numbers, they can be overlooked, but value can be found in other categories too. In leagues that reward penalty minutes, Steve Ott is a beast -- one of six players to record at least 70 goals and 500 penalty minutes in that time. However, Ott is also a hit machine, with 968 hits over the last four seasons. Even with modest offensive numbers, Otts contributions in other categories make him worthwhile in many leagues. Sleepers/Breakthrough: Drew Stafford is a bit of a fantasy heartbreaker, coming off a career-worst season, but hes a three-time 20-goal scorer who has size, skill and gets decent ice time. Hell surely be better than he was in the 2013 season, but its admittedly difficult to pull the trigger on a player with his up-and-down history. A big-bodied forward who exceeded all expectations when he scored 13 points in 14 games with the Sabres in 2011-2012, Marcus Foligno came back to reality last season, scoring 18 points in 47 games, which is more befitting his crash-and-bang style of play. Nevertheless, if Foligno gets an opportunity with a scoring line, he does have a chance to provide some value because he adds a physical dimension (ie. lots of hits) in addition to occasional scoring. Its not that long ago (2009-2010) that D Tyler Myers scored 48 points as a rookie defenceman, but his production has fallen off since, down to eight points in 39 games last season. Based on last season, theres no reason to consider him for fantasy but, knowing that the Sabres should be playing him 22 minutes a night, there will be an opportunity for the 23-year-old to get his career back on track. If Ville Leino stays healthy, theres a chance that he can be productive. His contract virtually dictates that he will play, but its nearly impossible to recommend him given 31 points in 79 games over two seasons with the Sabres. Rookies: Strangely enough, for a rebuilding team, there arent necessarily a lot of rookies knocking on the door, but C Mikhail Grigorenko is one to watch. He played only 10:14 per game in 25 games with the Sabres last season, managing five points, but hes a big, skilled center who has 139 points in 92 QMJHL games over the last two seasons. Its conceivable that he could land a role centering a scoring line (maybe moving Ennis to wing?) and then his scoring totals could be enough to warrant interest.

Montreal enters the matching riding high after posting a 2-0 win over the Chicago Fire last weekend to move into first place in the Eastern Conference with 16 points. After a hard-fought but scoreless first half, Montreal found a breakthrough in the 57th minute through Andres Romero and Marco Di Vaio made it 2-0 for the home side with 14 minutes to play to wrap up the Impacts fifth victory in league play. "Coming off a tie here in our last home game, we knew we needed to win this game," captain Davy Arnaud said. "We knew it was going to be tough, but its a very good result for us." The Impact also qualified for a berth in the Canadian Championship final on Wednesday after posting a 6-0 thrashing of Toronto FC to win the two-legged semifinal by a 6-2 aggregate score. "To come back from a game in which we suffered like we did in the first leg, we showed the high level at which this team can play," said head coach Marco Schallibaum. "Tonight, we wanted to win without a doubt, I am very proud to be the coach of this team and very proud of the guys tonnight.dddddddddddd" San Jose, meanwhile, earned a point in a 2-2 draw with Chivas USA after second-half substitute Cordell Cato scored an equalizer in the 76th minute, but the 2013 version of the Earthquakes has severely under performed in comparison to the 2012 side the won the Supporters Shield with 66 points. The Earthquakes currently sit in sixth place in the Western Conference with 10 points and have not taken a full three points since a 1-0 win over Seattle on March 23 -- a span of five matches, which is their longest winless run since a since their 13-game streak from June 17-Aug. 27, 2011. "Obviously conceding two goals is never good. We had enough chances to win this game. It was a frustrating night and disappointed for the guys. They put the effort in to get the three points and we could not quite do it. We played well but we have to do better on their goals, and it is something to look at." Saturdays task will be even tougher for San Jose as forward Steven Lenhart will miss the match after being suspended for two games by the MLS Disciplinary Committee for a violent challenge on Chivas Mario De Luna. In the clubs only all-time meeting last season, Montreal claimed a 3-1 victory behind goals from Di Vaio, Lamar Neagle and Patrice Bernier.
