A traditional powerhouse team that is full of reliable veteran performers, the Detroit Red Wings have even higher expectations this year with a move to the Eastern Conference following some savvy offseason additions. Evan Gattis Jersey . Top Picks: Since 2005-2006, Red Wings C Pavel Datsyuk has scored 613 points in 570 games, ranking sixth in the league over that span (hes also a league-best plus-207). Hes a magician with the puck, has scored better than a point per game in six of the last eight seasons and, even though hes 35, hasnt shown signs of slowing down. Take him as your top centre and revel in safe, consistent production with many appearances on the the highlight reels. Expected to ride shotgun with Datsyuk to start the season, LW Henrik Zetterberg ranks 11th in points (585) and ninth in plus-minus (plus-125) since 2005-2006. Hes not as flashy as Datsyuk, but both play sound two-way games and Zetterberg played 20:31 per game last season, his most since 2007-2008, so hes not fading away as he heads into his mid-30s. With eligibility on left wing, where talent is more scarce, Zetterberg is an elite performer, worthy of a late first or early second-round pick. G Jimmy Howard has a .922 save percentage over the last two seasons, ranking sixth among goaltenders with at least 50 games played. Hes an unchallenged starting goaltender, expected to start 65 games, for a team that is expected to be a winner in the Eastern Conference, so its entirely reasonable for him to be one of the top five goaltenders off the board. While D Niklas Kronwall isnt going to be mistaken for Nicklas Lidstrom -- who is? -- Kronwall is the one proven productive defenceman on the roster. He played a career-high 24:22 last season and his 175 points since 2008-2009 ranks 20th among defencemen, so he fits as a No. 2 or No. 3 fantasy defenceman. Value Plays: There is something to be said about the consistency in LW Johan Franzens production. Hes scored between 0.72 and 0.83 points per game in each of the last five seasons. Hes never scored 50 points, but has topped 55 three times, scoring more than 25 goals four times in his career. If hes playing on the Wings second line, that might hurt his numbers a little, but lines can change and Detroits second line will get favourable matchups, so 33-year-old Franzen is still a viable No. 2 left wing for fantasy owners. One of the offseason shock waves was the Red Wings signing longtime Ottawa Senators RW Daniel Alfredsson. While Alfredsson is coming off a postseason in which he scored 10 points in 10 games, hes 40-years-old and his production, naturally, is declining. As a No.4 right wing, sure, he provides value, but dont expect Alfie in his prime numbers just because hes wearing a new sweater. Sleepers/Breakthrough: Its not as if C Stephen Weiss is going to fly under the radar, moving from Florida to Detroit, but after a season shortened by wrist surgery (during which he had four points and a minus-13 rating in 17 games), his value will be at a low point, especially when compared to the previous four seasons, as he scored 227 points, good enough for 49th in the league. Its always a risk to invest in a player based on the linemates whose coattails hes expected to ride, but if RW Justin Abdelkader is going to line up with Datsyuk and Zetterberg, he cant be ignored in deep leagues. Hes 26-years-old with 60 points in 257 career games, but finished last season with nine goals in his final 20 games, perhaps an indication that the hard-driving winger could be a 20-goal scorer in the right situation and situations dont get much better than playing with Datsyuk and Zetterberg. A skilled forward who appears ticketed for a spot on the Wings third line to start the year, Gustav Nyquist has 13 points in 40 NHL games over the last couple seasons, but hes shown skill which is backed up by 118 points in 114 AHL games, so he ought to be considered an upwardly-mobile sleeper on the Red Wings depth chart. Rookies: 22-year-old LW Tomas Tatar has already played four AHL seasons, scoring 71 goals and 164 points in 207 games over the last three seasons, punctuated by his scoring 16 goals in 24 playoff games on Grand Rapids way to the Calder Cup. He also has eight points in 27 career NHL games, so hes due for a longer look and, perhaps more importantly, isnt exempt from waivers this year. If the Wings want to send him down, Tatar will likely be toiling for another team because its time to see if he can score at the next level.

Joakim Nordstrom and Garret Ross also scored for Chicago and Corey Crawford made 30 saves. Tomas Tatar scored twice for Red Wings (2-3-0), Jonathan Ericsson added a goal and Gustav Nyquist had three assists. J.R. Richard Jersey .Manager Brendan Rodgers told the Liverpool Echo on Friday that Sturridge pulled his calf muscle in training as he prepared to return from a five-week layoff due to a thigh strain. http://www.baseballastrosproshop.com/alex-bregman-astros-jersey/ . Its a blessing and a burden for nine sons of former NHL players who are all expected to be taken in the first four rounds of the draft this weekend. BOSTON -- Dustin Pedroia started fast, stopped and then raced home with the winning run. It certainly was an adventurous way to end a game. Pedroia scored from third on left fielder David Loughs throwing error with two outs in the ninth inning, lifting the Boston Red Sox to a 6-5 comback win over Baltimore Orioles on Sunday night. "I was a little nervous when he threw it that I was going to be out at third, so there was a lot going on," Pedroia said. "All their outfielders have great arms, so you have to get a great jump for situations like that. We just lucked out." Pedroia opened the ninth with a replay-reviewed double off the top of the Green Monster against Brian Matusz (1-1). With the crowd chanting "Home Run! Home Run!" The ruling was the "call stands" after a 2 minute, 2 second delay. A fan had reached over just at the line at the top to touch the ball, and replays appeared inconclusive. Pedroia advanced on a wild pitch and, after David Ortiz was intentionally walked, Darren ODay hit Mike Napoli on the left knee to load the bases. Pinch hitter Mike Carp hit a liner to left, setting off the game-ending play. Pedroia tagged and broke down the line, but headed back. Loughs throw was wide of the plate and bounced around as Pedroia raced home. "He was going in circles," Carp said of Pedroias route. "He was running around. The only thing that matters is we got the win." Jonny Gomes hit a three-run homer for the Red Sox, who overcame a 5-0 deficit. It was an emotional win on a night when the Red Sox had a moving pregame ceremony for victims of Boston Marathon bombings before the game. Just over a year ago, three were killed and over 260 injured when two bombs went off near the finish line. "I think it really sunk in how much its been a year down the road," Gomes said. The ceremony also honoured first responders, runners and volunteers of the marathon. The family of Lu Lingzi, a Boston University graduate student from China that was killed in the bombings, made their first ever visit to Fenway Park and closed the ceremony with the traditional "Play Ball!" chant before the Red Sox took the field. Adam Jones had three singles and a double, and Nelson Cruz hit a solo homer to spark a three-run first for the Orioles. Boston can take three of four when the series concludes withh Mondays traditional 11 a. Carlos Gomez Jersey. . Patriots Day start. Orioles manager Buck Showalter and a few players had a lengthy discussion with the umpiring crew before the teams left the field. "Theyve got some really strange things you cant appeal," Showalter said of the play, saying he was wondering if all the runners had tagged. "David made a heck of a play there at the end, just threw it a little wildly." Edward Mujica (1-1) got one out for the win. The Orioles had a runner on third with one out in the ninth, but Andrew Miller got one out and Mujica fanned Lough. Baltimore had built a 5-0 lead in the sixth against Boston starter Jake Peavy, who was roughed up for 10 hits in 5 2-3 innings. Ubaldo Jimenez had his best start since signing a big free agent contract with Baltimore, pitching five shutout innings before being chased on Gomes three-run homer in the sixth. The Red Sox then tied it against reliever Zach Britton in the seventh. Ortizs RBI single cut it to 5-4 before Jonathan Schoop, who moved from second to third that inning, bounced a throw home for an error attempting a force at the plate on a bases-loaded grounder. It allowed the tying run to score. Shortstop Ryan Flaherty, who started the game at third but moved over when J.J. Hardy left in the top of the inning with a strained right hamstring, dropped a throw at second for an error on an attempted force. "I dropped the ball. Didnt turn the double play like I should have," Flaherty said. "Thats the way the rule is. I didnt turn the double play like I should have." Jimenez, who signed to a $50-million, 4-year deal, had allowed at least four runs in each of his first three starts. He gave up three on four hits, walked three and fanned five. Peavy had held opponents to two or fewer runs in all of his first three starts. Cruz, the second batter, hit the first pitch into the seats above the Monster. Matt Wieters had an RBI single and Hardy added a sacrifice fly. Loughs RBI double made it 4-0 in the fifth and Jones run-scoring single chased Peavy. Jimenez, who entered 1-3 with a 10.27 ERA in five career starts versus Boston, held the Red Sox hitless until Gomes two-out double in the fourth. NOTES: Right-hander Clay Buchholz (0-1, 5.51 ERA) goes for the Red Sox against left-hander Wei-Yin Chen (2-1, 4.76) on Monday. 00:01ET 21-04-14 Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys 2019 Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Jerseys From China NFL Jerseys Wholesale ' ' '
