Every Monday during the season, NHL.com fantasy hockey contributor Matt Sitkoff will provide you with fantasy hockey advice in his weekly piece: "Fantasy All-Access." From the waiver wire watch to roster trends and prospect rumblings, Sitkoff is here to help you all season long.

Some of the top fantasy players have continued to struggle past the quarter mark, but that just means you can target them and buy low on a superstar that could lead you to a fantasy championship.

Another top-line center struggling to find the back of the net is Henrik Sedin. Sedin, whose average draft position was 16.7 in Yahoo! Leagues, scored his first goal of the season Sunday and has only 24 shots on goal, infuriating his owners. One thing to consider, however, is typically the most productive month of his career is March, when he's scored 34 goals and 142 points in 159 career games.

John Tavares is doing everything he possibly can to get the New York Islanders into the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2007.

The first player taken in the 2009 NHL Draft is the biggest reason the Islanders’ five-game losing streak is now a two-game winning streak. He had a regulation goal and the shootout clincher in a 4-3 victory against the Rangers on Thursday, then scored three times on Saturday in a 5-1 victory against New Jersey.

For the week, he had six goals and two assists for eight points -- and enters this week riding a five-game goal-scoring streak. His 11 goals have him tied with Pittsburgh’s James Neal in the League goal-scoring, one behind Buffalo’s Thomas Vanek.

Five up -- Five other players who had a good week:

Viktor Fasth-- Anaheim’s first-year goaltender is 30, meaning he’s too old to win the Calder Trophy. He’s had to settle for one of the great career starts in NHL history. Fasth allowed two goals in each of his three starts last week and won all three, giving him an 8-0-0 record. He’s one win short of matching the NHL record for most consecutive victories at the start of a career.

With the Slovenian national team clinching its first Olympic hockey berth, and Jarmo Kekalainen becoming the NHL's first European-born full-time general manager, the global hockey community continues to expand.

But one small group from Montreal is doing even more to demonstrate the reach of the sport.

It was just over a year ago that a few hockey players took on the mission of affecting positive change around the world and pursuing cultural exchange through the game they love. They founded Hockey Without Borders, a non-profit organization that already has made a mark internationally.

Participating in a free hockey clinic with dozens of area children in New York's Central Park, former NHL player Nick Fotiu can't help but smile. Growing up in nearby Staten Island, NY, he never had anything like this.

When young Nick Fotiu wanted to play hockey growing up in New York, he and his friends opened up a neighborhood fire hydrant to flood a lot and create a makeshift rink. No, it was not legal.

Since becoming the first New York-born player to play for the Rangers in 1976, Fotiu has been an active participant in the area's hockey community, primarily through his work with Rangers alumni and USA Hockey.

"It's a real thrill for me to come out here. At Rockefeller Center or Central Park, wherever," said the 60-year-old Fotiu. "Being with the kids is what it's all about. I tell them, it's not only hockey that makes it fun. It's the jokes you play. It's all part of the game."

The game of hockey has grown tremendously in the tri-state area since Fotiu first came into the League. Whereas Fotiu was something of a novelty through parts of his NHL career, the sport has since been flooded by players from the region.

Kicking off a national day of celebration, the National Hockey League, USA Hockey and the New York Rangers all descended on the fabled Trump Rink in historic Central Park to provide a picturesque hub for Hockey Day in America.

The rink did not just provide an outdoor studio for NBC and NBC Sports Network, who together are broadcasting an NHL triple-header as part of the Hockey Day in America festivities. The park also hosted one of the countless grassroots hockey events taking place across the country.

Split squarely down the middle, Trump Rink hosted a day-long open public skate side-by-side with a youth hockey clinic overseen by USA Hockey and featuring former Rangers like Ron Duguay, Nick Fotiu, Dan Blackburn and Ron Greschner.

"USA Hockey gets the kids involved. And what a great place to get involved, Central Park in New York City," said Fotiu, who became the first New York-born Rangers player in 1976. "I help out and we make it a little more fun. That's what hockey is about. Having fun."

Friday marked the start of the sixth annual Hockey Weekend Across America, presented by CCM, an event that has grown in its scope and influence in a very short time. Spearheaded by USA Hockey and the National Hockey League, the big weekend will celebrate hockey across the country.

Each day of the festive weekend has a different theme. Friday was "Wear Your Favorite Jersey Day," when fans across the United States were encouraged to show their support by donning their prized jerseys and submitting photos on Facebook and Twitter, using the hashtag #HWAA.

Saturday is "Try Hockey Day," a unique opportunity for men, women and children across the nation to experience the game. With some 200 rinks nationwide hosting free clinics, thousands of people will have the opportunity to enjoy hockey. A list of participating rinks is available for those interested in being involved at HockeyWeekendAcrossAmerica.com.

CHICAGO -- At first glance, it looked like the Chicago Blackhawks decided to hold an off-day skate at the outdoor rink located inside Soldier Field for this weekend's OfficeMax Hockey City Classic.

A closer look revealed something much different.

The Blackhawks were indeed out there Saturday morning in chilly temperatures, but they were not by themselves. Joining them, also wearing Blackhawks practice jerseys, were members of the USA Warriors Ice Hockey Program, which trains and supplies injured servicemen and women with hockey equipment and skills to use the sport as a rehabilitation tool.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Henrik Sedin became the Vancouver Canucks' all-time scoring leader with a pair of second-period assists in Friday night's game against the Dallas Stars.

Sedin tied Markus Naslund for the top spot on the franchise scoring list by earning an assist at 3:21 of the middle period when twin brother Daniel banked a puck off Dallas goaltender Richard Bachman and into the net to tie the game at 1-1.

The record-setting 757th point was the kind of play that has made Henrik one of the NHL's top playmakers. He set up Alexandre Burrows for a one-timer past Bachman with the sort of pinpoint, cross-zone feed he's made throughout his career. The goal gave Vancouver a 3-1 lead.

Shortly after making a save with his right arm that knocked the stick out of his hand, Lehtonen skated to the Stars' bench with 6:11 remaining, tried to stretch, but left the game. Lehtonen, who entered the game with a .933 save percentage, took an earlier shot off his mask during a busy opening 13 minutes.

After separate deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, Sgt. Michael Wichmann wasn't expecting to find too many traces of his favorite sport when he reported to Fort Benning in Georgia to serve as a motors instructor. With thousands of servicemen training and working at the famous base, the Michigan-born Wichmann didn't foresee many hockey opportunities in the heart of the south.

The 23-year-old previously was stationed at Fort Benning in 2006 and, except for the nearby Columbus Cottonmouths of the Southern Professional Hockey League, didn't recall much hockey being played. He was pleasantly surprised when he returned in 2011.

"They have two rinks here and one wasn't here in 2006," Wichmann told NHL.com. "So I really was surprised there was a lot of military members here who play hockey. It's not something that you run into on a military base. A lot of guys that you talk to don't even know what hockey is. There are about 35 of us on the Fort Benning team alone."
