James van Riemsdyk of the Toronto Maple Leafs has had his resurgent fantasy stock put on hold because of injury.

Van Riemsdyk, who had 13 points in 11 games between Dec. 8 and Jan. 6, is expected to miss 6-8 weeks because of a non-displaced fracture in his left foot. Van Riemsdyk is owned in 90 percent of Yahoo leagues and is ranked 71st among players based on performance in standard leagues. He leads Toronto with 29 points in 40 games and he's tied for 19th among all players with 129 shots on goal.

Toronto's top-six forward group of late had been van Riemsdyk with Tyler Bozak and PA Parenteau on the top line with Michael Grabner, Nazem Kadri and Leo Komarov on the second line. The injury negatively impacts the stock of Bozak (20 percent) to say the least. Komarov (C/LW, 50 percent) and Kadri (33 percent), if available in your league, will be relied upon more heavily by the Maple Leafs to carry the offense and should be added at once. Potential options to replace van Riemsdyk on the top line include Joffrey Lupul (9 percent) and Daniel Winnik (1 percent), who could be short-term cogs but don't possess much long-term fantasy value.

Check NHL.com's latest Fantasy All-Access column for center-eligible options who could be of greater fantasy help than Bozak; among them Tomas Hertl of the San Jose Sharks, Sean Couturier of the Philadelphia Flyers, Sam Reinhart of the Buffalo Sabres and Alexander Wennberg of the Columbus Blue Jackets. Stash van Riemsdyk in your fantasy injured-reserve spot or on the bench in a keeper league as his injury timetable suggests he could return in late February or early March. That leaves enough time for him to give your lineup a late push.

As for more left wing replacements, here are some options:

Each day during the 2015-16 season, NHL.com's fantasy staff will identify one player at each position worth owning in DraftKings daily fantasy hockey contests. Based on factors including but not limited to matchups, line combinations, power-play usage, statistical coverage and recent production, we'll provide you with lower-priced options that can help you build a winning lineup.

Ryan Johansen, C, Nashville Predators

DraftKings price: $5,600

The DFS landscape has been altered by the big trade Wednesday which sent Johansen to Nashville and defenseman Seth Jones ($4,200 at Carolina Hurricanes) to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Each will debut Friday, and the deal creates some intriguing value plays. I like the fresh start that Johansen and his new linemates, James Neal ($5,800) and Colin Wilson ($3,400), will get right off the bat, and there's no time to waste with the Predators visiting the Colorado Avalanche, sitting only two points ahead of them for the second Wild Card spot in the Western Conference.

Nick Bjugstad, C, Florida Panthers

DraftKings price: $4,500

While other DFS owners load up on the Panthers' top line in the midst of their record 10-game winning streak, it's worth considering a more unique play with Bjugstad and possibly linemate Brandon Pirri (C, $4,300), whom you could stack for $8,800. Bjugstad has played in 25 of Florida's 40 games this season because of injury, and has yet to hit his stride with 12 points, 12 blocks and 56 shots on goal in that limited action. But with Pirri in the midst of a three-game point streak and known for his high shot volume, Bjugstad could get back in on the scoring on the road against the Ottawa Senators, who are allowing 2.63 goals per game at home this season.

The Nashville Predators and Columbus Blue Jackets had glaring needs. They addressed them Wednesday in a trade with each other, shaking up the fantasy hockey landscape for the second half of the season.

The Predators, who lacked a true No. 1 center, acquired Ryan Johansen in a trade that sent defenseman Seth Jones to the Blue Jackets. Johansen, tied for 20th in points since 2013-14 (160 in 202 games), was 29th among forwards in NHL.com's latest fantasy rankings, down a few spots in recent weeks because of his decline under Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella, who was hired Oct. 21 to replace Todd Richards.

The 23-year-old center bounced around the lineup under Tortorella and was a healthy scratch Dec. 17, allowing Alexander Wennberg (two percent owned) to latch onto a line with Brandon Saad and Scott Hartnell. With the Blue Jackets in last place in the NHL standings and Wennberg posting 13 points in his past 14 games, Johansen was deemed expendable.

Tyler Johnson, C, Tampa Bay Lightning

DraftKings price: $4,600

As disappointing as Johnson has been fantasy-wise after his memorable 2015 Stanley Cup Playoff production, he's back from injury and facing a familiar foe in the New York Rangers. He has seven points in six career regular-season games against the Rangers, whom he also tagged for four goals, five assists and 18 shots on goal in their seven-game postseason series. Johnson, 15th among centers in price, had no points and two shots on goal in 17-plus minutes of ice time Monday against the Montreal Canadiens, playing mostly with Alex Killorn and J.T. Brown, but has a chance to get back on track Wednesday at home, where he has four points and 30 SOG in 11 games this season.

Jonathan Marchessault, C, Tampa Bay Lightning

DraftKings price: $2,900

Sometimes it's just worth riding the hot hand in DraftKings if the price is right, and this is one of those cases with Marchessault. He's quietly in the midst of a six-game point streak (three goals, four assists), and has 24 shots on goal in his past 10 games. He's only a short-term option, but is priced near the bottom of the barrel and has made quite an impression with an uptick in power-play ice time for the Lightning minus Tyler Johnson and Ondrej Palat.

Pavel Datsyuk, C, Detroit Red Wings

DraftKings price: $5,500

There are a number of affordable centers in the $4,000 range, but most of them are boom-or-bust picks who will be heavily owned in DraftKings. I would be much more comfortable investing in Datsyuk ($5,500), who's priced 12th among centers Friday at home against the Vancouver Canucks.

Mika Zibanejad, C, Ottawa Senators

DraftKings price: $4,500

Zibanejad has recently been upgraded to the top line for the Senators alongside two of the most consistent point producers League-wide in Mike Hoffman ($5,900) and Bobby Ryan ($5,600). Those two rank second and fourth among wings in DraftKings points per game for Wednesday games, and Zibanejad already saw the splash effect his last time out against the Los Angeles Kings when he scored a goal with two assists and one shot on goal.

NOTE: These picks and salaries are for nine-game DraftKings contests on Saturday, Dec. 12. These contests do not include the 1 p.m. ET game between the Florida Panthers and Boston Bruins.

Ryan Johansen, C, Columbus Blue Jackets

DraftKings price: $5,800

Considering Johansen averages 4.1 DraftKings points per contest at home this season with 14 points (eight on power play) and 40 SOG in 13 games, he's well worth rolling out against the New York Islanders at Nationwide Arena. He's tied for 12th on the center price scale and is $3,000 cheaper than Tyler Seguin ($8,800) with similar upside on any given night.
