Since his knee injury has lingered throughout the 2013 campaign, a day of rest is preferable for his ultimate output.","date":"Sun May 12"},"fullName":"Milan Michalek","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Michalek started using his size very effectively to help finish and set up goals for linemate Jason Spezza last season. The payoff was 35 goals, with 10 of them coming on the power play. Michalek seemed to work out some of the inconsistency that has limited his fantasy value in the past. Michalek, more than Spezza, would benefit from a stronger player to complete the top line than last season's linemate, Colin Greening. While Greening was a good fit to supplement the duo, he didn't push their totals higher thanks to his own contributions. If Daniel Alfredsson or one of the Isles' reclamation projects or rookies can settle in on the top line, Michalek's totals could be pushed higher through more assists. He had only 25 assists last season, which is quite low, considering Spezza had 34 goals.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Tue Sep 11"},"playerRater30DAY":2.7,"playerRater15DAY":6.2,"positionRank":60}
