A Roto-Look Ahead – Week 19
Tom Reeve
2009-02-06
Starting Wednesday February 11, the Ottawa Senators play five games in seven nights including two sets of back to back games. All of these games are on the road. Playing five games in a one week span doesn't happen very often – only twelve times during the regular season and this is the only time it happens to the Senators.
Looking at a team's schedule may help your chances of finding a good injury replacement. Here are some of the high and low ratings for teams over a two, three and four week period starting February 6, 2009. The rating is shown in brackets.
Two weeks
High ratings: Blue Jackets (8.60), Predators (8.31), Devils (7.97)
Low ratings: Bruins (4.75), Ducks (4.21)
Three weeks
High ratings: Rangers (11.95), Blue Jackets (11.55), Predators (11.45)
Low ratings: Flames (8.46), Ducks (7.82)
Four weeks
High ratings: Predators (14.60), Blue Jackets (14.30), Rangers (14.14)
