Predators' Cody Hodgson: Scores game winner versus Sabres

Hodgson scored the eventual game-winning goal against his former team in Wednesday's 3-2 victory over the Sabres. It was just his fifth point of the season.

It's been a rough start so far for Hodgson, his first season in a Preds uniform. After scoring just 13 points in 78 games last season, fantasy owners were hoping that a fresh start with a new team would provide a kickstart to his NHL career, but so far that has failed to materialize. Hodgson continues to skate on the Preds' third line, averaging less than 11 minutes per game, resulting in a sharp reduction in his fantasy value - which was critically low to begin with. We recommend looking for other viable alternatives for your lineups.
