Fantasy hockey rankings: Matt Boldy rises to ninth after scoring run

The numbers have been screaming it right out of the gate, but it's still jarring to have Matt Boldy ranked ahead of teammate Kirill Kaprizov just months after Kaprizov became the highest-paid player in the league.

At the Thanksgiving break, their lines are nearly identical -- 14 goals, 14 assists, 12 special-teams points, even shots within a whisker -- but Boldy brings almost double the peripheral juice in hits and blocks. That's how razor thin the margins are at the top.

These rankings are based on expectations of fantasy points produced from Friday, Nov. 28, until the end of the season.

Skaters: goals = 2 points, assists = 1 point, shots and hits = 0.1 points
blocked shots and special-teams points = 0.5 points;

Goaltenders: wins = 4 points, OT losses = 1 point, shutouts = 3 points
saves = 0.2 points, goals against = -2 points.
