He has five goals and seven points in 23 games this season. While the lockout and injuries are partially to blame for his quiet campaign, more will be expected out of Malone next year. He has averaged .61 points per game throughout his career.","date":"Sat Apr 27"},"fullName":"Ryan Malone","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Malone gets hurt, misses a bunch of games and never blows you away with his fantasy production, yet he still needs to be in the mix when filling out your roster. Why? Because when he gets hot on the ice, he gets really hot. Malone scored 10 goals and 15 points in 15 games during the key month of March last season. He didn't score more than eight points in any other month and had just come off a February with only five assists. In 2010-11, he began the season with 30 points in the first 38 games but finished with 38 points for the season. The presence of Pouliot and Connolly might be enough to keep Malone out of the top-six forwards for the Tampa Bay Lightning, but that doesn't mean he won't find some sneaky value at some point during the season. Just be ready for it and act quickly.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Tue Sep 11"},"playerRater30DAY":-3,"playerRater15DAY":-4.8,"positionRank":90}
