Daniel Winnik is getting a chance to play on the top line with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry.
That is what scoring five goals in four games will do for you. Coach Bruce Boudreau loves to switch up the lines and putting Winnik up top is his current move. "Once you get to know me, you'll see my lines change a lot," Boudreau said. "I'll usually keep two of them together, but the third guy can change if I feel someone is going or not going." Obviously do not expect Winnik to keep up anything close to this pace but he could pot 15 goals if he can keep it up.

Perhaps Daniel Winnik is worthy of a spot on your fantasy team, after all.
While the left winger has been perceived generally as a defensive-minded player, he has scored four goals in his first two games with the Ducks this season and lifted Anaheim to a 5-4 victory over the Flames in Calgary Monday night. Winnik became the first player in Ducks history to record multiple-goal games in his first two with the team. Winnik also added an assist Monday. Anaheim captain Ryan Getzlaf scored twice, too, his first two of the season. Also contributing significantly for the Ducks was Saku Koivu, who produced his first goal of 2013 as well as two assists. Andrew Cogliano and Corey Perry also notched two assists apiece. The Ducks had a 3-0 lead in this one before the Flames tied it at 3-3 early in the second period.

Daniel Winnick's debut for the Ducks couldn't have gone much better.
He scored twice while playing on a line with Saku Koivu and Andrew Cogliano. Before you get all excited about Winnik's offensive potential bear in mind that his season high point total is 26. He's a good hockey player but has little or no fantasy value.

Daniel Winnik is projected to start the shortened season on the Anaheim Ducks' third line.
He should play alongside Saku Koivu and Andrew Cogliano. He should also help the Ducks kill penalties. He's a defensive forward with some offensive upside, but not enough to make him worth considering in standard leagues.
