Top picks for Monday, Nov. 23

Monday, 11.23.2009 / 1:57 PM / Fantasy Games
By Rocky Bonanno  - NHL.com Staff Writer
All the matchups on Monday are first-time meetings for 2009-10 except for the Florida-Pittsburgh game, so projecting top scorers is mostly dependent on stats from last season and career totals. The Capitals have three players -- Mike Green, Alex Ovechkin, and Alexander Semin -- who have averaged better than a point a game against Ottawa. Activating these players is a no-brainer, but fantasy owners should watch Monday's score sheet with big expectations. Also, not the earlier-than-usual start time for the game at Nashville.
