- and he has five points in his last three games, so you can't complain too much. He's skating on arguably the most gifted, young and promising line in the NHL with Jordan Eberle and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and will continue to be an incredible fantasy asset to his owners.Alexander Steen, Blues -- Still relatively unknown to the fantasy world (he's owned in 67 percent of Yahoo! leagues), Steen has quietly emerged as a key performer over the last few games. The 28-year-old power forward notched a career-high 51 points in 72 games in 2010-11, but then posted just 28 points in 43 games last season. So far, his 2012-13 campaign (4 G, 11 A,Henrik Sedin Authentic White jersey, plus-2, 4 PIMs, 7 PPP, 54 SOG) is going more like his season two years ago. What's been even more impressive is Steen's hot streak,Patrick Kane Black Authentic Jersey, where he's posted four goals and nine points in the past six games (including two three-point efforts). Steen is receiving just under three minutes of power-play ice time per game (2:57) and has found brilliant chemistry with his even-strength linemates Andy McDonald and rookie Vladimir Tarasenko. As long as he continues to put up numbers like this, Steen will continue to rise in our ranks.TRENDING DOWNWARDMarian Hossa, Blackhawks -- Hossa's season got off to a tremendous start with five goals and nine points in his first seven games -- he even found himself ranked 10th in The Front Line two weeks ago. Unfortunately, Hossa has just one goal in his last 11 games and only three points in eight games during the month of February. Luckily, February is the shortest month of the year and we believe Hossa will turn it around soon enough. The Blackhawks remain unbeaten in regulation despite Hossa's recent slump, but fantasy owners are surely frustrated with the early-season tease Hossa gave them. He is more than capable of being a point-per-game player with a phenomenal plus/minus (currently a plus-6), but until he snaps out of this skid, he slips in our ranks.Brad Richards, Rangers -- One New York center moves up in our rankings and another drops down. Richards' New York tenure hit a new low this past Thursday against the Islanders when he found himself on the bench for all but 47 seconds of the third period in the team's 4-3 shootout loss. Richards still has 11 points in 14 games (not terrible), but this is definitely not what his fantasy owners were hoping for when they drafted him on average in the fifth round coming into the season. Given the fact he's played just about every shift with Rick Nash or Marian Gaborik, most of us would have expected a lot more points from the playmaking center. It just hasn't been there. What's more alarming is Richards -- typically a power-play specialist -- has just two points on the man advantage and only 31 shots on goal. The Rangers are averaging 2.64 goals per game (16th in the NHL), but at some point we think Nash and many of the other talented Ranger forwards will start putting more of their attempts in the back of the net, and when that happens, you'll likely see Richards in the middle of it.Milan Michalek, Senators -- The Senators just can't catch a break these days. First Jason Spezza went down for an extended period of time, then they lost Erik Karlsson for the rest of the season, and now they lose their leading goal-scorer from a year ago to a lower-body injury. Luckily, Michalek shouldn't be sidelined for nearly as long as Spezza or Karlsson. He missed Monday's game and isn't expected to suit up on Tuesday, but even prior to the injury Michalek had been struggling -- he hadn't scored a goal in his past seven games and had just two assists during that span. Of course, many of Michalek's 35 goals last year were set up by his linemate Spezza, and without the crafty centerman on his side,Henrik Zetterberg Authentic Red Jersey, Michalek's production will be extremely limited. Take away a power-play quarterback and playmaker in Karlsson, and Michalek isn't left with much to work with. The Sens may have managed to beat the Devils on Monday,Alex Ovechkin Red Jersey, but without three of their best players, there could be some rough days ahead for Ottawa and fantasy owners of any of their playe
