Top picks for Thursday, Nov. 5

Thursday, 11.05.2009 / 9:00 AM / Fantasy Games
By Rocky Bonanno  - NHL.com Staff Writer
The marquee matchup of the night has the Sharks visiting the Red Wings in a battle of the last two Presidents' Trophy winners. Last season their four meetings averaged 7 goals per game and nine players scored two or more goals in the season series. Also check out Mathieu Garon's career record against Atlanta. Fantasy owners of Steve Mason may need to change their active goalie if Columbus coach Ken Hitchcock notices Garon's dominance against the Thrashers.
