kes her so great and its what defenders and opposing teams fear. "From being her teammate early in her career, I know all she ever wanted to do was win, and she continues to

Every week, well mine the waiver wire for lesser-owned assets to help your squad, whether you favor dynasty or the redraft format -- and well also toss in some tips for DFS players out there. Categorized by position, the players are ranked in descending order by ownership percentage in ESPN leagues.Well also include some former go-to fantasy assets who may be overvalued -- in the short- or long-term -- for one reason or another.Entering Week 3, the Oilers are surging, the Stars are hurting, and two southern California clubs appear to be shaking off sludgy starts to 2016-17. A handful of candidates from all four squads deserve increased scrutiny.ForwardsMikkel Boedker, LW, San Jose Sharks Ownership percentage: 44.7Dont give up on the newest member of the Sharks quite yet. While one goal (and zero assists) in six games from Boedker is nothing to bark about, San Joses coaching staff is giving the speedy winger a fresh opportunity on the clubs top line with Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski.Tanner Pearson, LW, Los Angeles Kings Ownership percentage: 24.5Boy, that short-lived suspension certainly got Pearsons motor running. After spending two games in the press box, the Kings winger quickly made up for lost time with four goals and one assist in three contests. Right now, the 24-year-old is skating on a line with center Jeff Carter.Andre Burakovsky, LW/RW, Washington Capitals Ownership percentage: 18.9Identified in this space last week, Burakovsky is again worth mentioning by way of his promotion to the Capitals top trio with Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov. Capitals management is expecting much from their young forward this season, and hes getting a shot to prove them right with this new assignment.David Perron, LW, St. Louis Blues Ownership percentage: 11.8Bumped to a scoring unit with Vladimir Tarasenko and Jaden Schwartz, Perron notched a hat trick plus an assist in Saturdays win. Encouraging stuff. Just realize that head coach Ken Hitchcock wont hesitate to throw his lines back in the blender at the first sign of diminishing chemistry.Vladislav Namestnikov, C/LW, Tampa Bay Lightning Ownership percentage: 4.0A few minutes on a dynamic scoring line with Steven Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov, and presto, Namestnikov has his first two points -- a goal and an assist -- of the season. While DFS competitors may want to wager on a similar performance from the 23-year-old versus the relatively porous Maple Leafs Tuesday, Namestnikov also sports dark-horse potential in deeper season-long leagues, especially while he remains on that top scoring unit.Nick Ritchie, LW, Anaheim Ducks Ownership percentage: 4.0Competing on a line with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry, Ritchie potted a goal in Sundays win against the Canucks. The 20-year-old, former first-round draft pick (10th overall, 2014) could relish a breakout sophomore season if keeps a grip on that gig, though Rickard Rakell is looming.Artturi Lehkonen, LW, Montreal Canadiens Ownership percentage: 1.1So far, Alexander Radulov is clearly having a blast in his NHL reawakening with the Canadiens. Do you know who else is having fun? The 21-year-old Finn playing on the line with Radulov and Tomas Plekanec. While still adjusting to the North American game, Lehkonen already has two goals and an assist in his first half-dozen contests. And hes already showing a promising inclination for generating shots on goal.DefendersMatt Dumba, Minnesota Wild Ownership percentage: 24.1With Jared Spurgeon nursing an upper-body injury, Dumba takes over alongside franchise defenseman Ryan Suter at even strength and with the extra skater. Eating up monster minutes (26-plus per game) in his past couple of games, the 22-year-old young defenseman is projected to improve on last seasons totals of 10 goals and 16 assists, whether he sticks with Suter or (most likely) not.Nikita Zaitsev, Toronto Maple Leafs Ownership percentage: 6.4An NHL rookie in name only, the 24-year-old top-four defenseman brings seven seasons of KHL experience to Torontos blue line, along with a proclivity for contributing to the score sheet. So far, so good, as Zaitsev has three assists while continuing to adjust to the game in North America. Fantasy owners in deeper leagues should certainly give the Leafs D-man serious consideration, and owners in shallow leagues should keep an eye on him.Philip Larsen, Vancouver Canucks Ownership percentage: 0.5Back in the NHL after spending two seasons overseas, the 26-year-old Dane finds himself contributing as member of the Canucks top power-play unit -- two of three assists collected in his most recent two contests have counted with the man advantage. While keeping expectations in check, Larsen certainly merits a thought as an inexpensive DFS asset, but only as long as he continues to see power-play time with the Sedins.GoaltendersCam Talbot, Edmonton Oilers Ownership percentage: 65.2Before you dismiss the Oilers early-season success as anomalous good fortune, realize a few insightful pundits are quickly crediting the new defensive top pairing of Adam Larsson and Oscar Klefbom for the teams stingy success in their own end. That means Talbot -- named the NHLs first star for this past week -- may not soon fall to pieces after all.Jacob Markstrom, Vancouver Canucks Ownership percentage: 29.6If you believe, as many do, that Markstrom is poised to take over for Ryan Miller as the Canucks No. 1 sometime this season, consider investing in the future right now. While Miller has already missed out on action due to injury, the 26-year-old Markstrom has played well, with a 3-0-1 record, a 1.95 goals-against average and .923 save percentage this season.Jimmy Howard, Detroit Red Wings Ownership percentage: 21.2Theres no denying Petr Mrazek is the Red Wings No. 1 to start 2016-17, but Howard is already making the most of his opportunities. Give the Red Wings backup a look as a solid spot-start option, or DFS option, when hes next in action. The 32-year-old has only allowed one goal through two victories thus far.Carter Hutton, St. Louis Blues Ownership percentage: 4.9Tapped to start Tuesday in relief of Jake Allen, Hutton serves as a particularly appealing option in DFS play when he gets the nod. The Blues backup was super in his one other appearance -- a 33-save victory over the Rangers -- this season.Lowered expectationsPatrick Sharp, LW, Dallas Stars Ownership percentage: 85.2You have to feel for coach Lindy Ruff while the Stars corps of forwards endures a rough stretch of injury luck to begin 2016-17. And although the respective absences of Jiri Hudler, Ales Hemsky, Cody Eakin, Patrick Eaves and others have hurt, the loss of Patrick Sharp to a suspected concussion is most devastating. Theres no point in trying to hammer out a timeline for recovery here; look for Brett Ritchie or Eaves (once healthy himself) to fill in alongside star forwards Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin while Sharp recuperates. Also know that Jason Spezza is considered questionable this week with an undisclosed injury.Adam Henrique, C, New Jersey Devils Ownership percentage: 76.1It wasnt that long ago fantasy owners and New Jersey fans were eagerly anticipating the fresh, forward pairing of Henrique and star winger Taylor Hall. Fast forward to the present, and we find coach John Hynes skating teen rookie Paval Zacha on Halls line, after experimenting with Travis Zajac in the centermans slot. Meanwhile, Henrique has all of one assist to show for himself through five games.Jussi Jokinen, LW, Florida Panthers Ownership percentage: 58.1The 33-year-old winger could miss the rest of this week -- if not longer -- with a knee injury. University of Minnesota alum Kyle Rau is earning a top-six shot with the Panthers in Jokinens absence.Jason Pominville, RW, Minnesota Wild Ownership percentage: 33.5Relegated to a bottom-six slot for the Wild, Pominville is positioned to see his numbers decrease for a third-straight season. Until injury knocks another prominent forward out, the veteran winger isnt worth a lineup spot in most fantasy leagues.

HARRISON, N.J. -- Move over Mia Hamm. Abby Wambach is now the greatest goal scorer in international soccer. Wambach scored four times in the first half to break Hamms record for international career goals with room to spare in a 5-0 victory over South Korea on Thursday night. The four goals gave the 33-year-old Wambach 160 in207 games, two more than Hamm had in a storied 275-game career that ended in 2004. Wambach connected three times in the first 29 minutes to break Hamms mark of 158 international goals, and she added another in injury time to give her a nice round number. Ali Daie of Iran holds the mens record with 109. "I cant say how much I look up to Mia and how amazing the record she set was," said Wambach, who was doused with a bucket of water after the game. After crediting her teammates for her scoring prowess, Wambach said it was a night she will treasure. "It was a special night," said a soaking wet Wambach. "It was surreal when it was happening. I felt when I missed the breakaway (after the first goal), hey maybe its not going to happen. But my teammates were relentless putting me in those positions, and its obvious." The historic 159th came on a line-drive header that ripped into the twine in the back of the net off a corner kick by Megan Rapinoe. "Im just so proud of her," Hamm said. "Just watching those four goals, thats what she is all about. She fights for the ball, shes courageous and she never gives up. Her strength and perseverance is what makes her so great and its what defenders and opposing teams fear. "From being her teammate early in her career, I know all she ever wanted to do was win, and she continues to do that. Im just glad I got to share 158 with her. It was short, but it was fun." After the record-setting goal, Wambach turned and ran a couple of steps in the direction of the U.S. bench, then stopped as Rapinoe jumped into her arms. The Rochester, N.Y., native was then mobbed by teammates on the field and those who streamed off the bench as the crowd of 18,961 at Red Bull Arena cheered wildly. After the hugs, Wambach turned to the stands and blew a kiss toward her parents, Judy and Peter. "My teammates know me super well and at halftime they said: Youre such an extremist," Wambach said of getting the record. "You are all or nothing. When you want to do something, you just go do it. I am very much like my father in that way." Other than "perfect ball" Rapinoe quipped, the only thing she said after the goal wwas "YESSSS!" "Im just so happy for her," Rapinoe said.dddddddddddd "This was an amazing, amazing accomplishment in way less games, the way she has done it. Its incredible to be a part of it." Chants of "Ab-bee, Ab-bee, Ab-bee," cascaded through the stadium as officials got the ball and gave it to the U.S. bench. The four goals in the friendly were the second most by Wambach in an international game, and will allow the spotlight that has followed her in her chase of Hamms record to finally dissolve. Her first goal Thursday came on a shot in the box past South Korean goalkeeper Kim Jung-mi in the 10th minute. The second came nine minutes later in the friendly on a flicking header. Lauren Cheney set up the first two goals on crossing passes on plays that Wambach eluded Korean defender Shim Seo-yeon. Wambachs fourth goal was an easy tap-in after Alex Morgan made a run down the right side and centred the ball to the on-rushing Wambach, the 2012 FIFA Womens World Player of the Year. Wambach, who was stopped on a first-half breakaway shortly after her first goal, had a chance for a fifth goal, which would have tied her single-game record, but she could not get her head on a cross early in the second half. "She had her mind set," U.S. captain Christie Rampone said. "She wanted to do it tonight and you could see it. Three goals in less than 30 minutes, an amazing performance by her. It was the best of both worlds, she got to score four goals and then watch the rest of the game and enjoy the day." Wambach was given a standing ovation by many in the crowd when she was replaced in the 58th minute by Christen Press. Before leaving the field, she exchanged hugs with long-time teammates Rapinoe, Heather OReilly and Carli Lloyd and a few other players. As she got to the sideline she applauded the crowd and then hugged her coaches and teammates. The crowd chanted "Abby Wambach" in return. "Its fantastic, a fairy-tale night," US coach Tom Sermanni said. "She could not have done it any better, just fantastic. She is a great professional . She is in great shape and she was really determined tonight to go out there and break that record, and she did it in great style." Cheney added the final goal for the United States on a header in the 64th minute. Goalkeeper Hope Solo made her first start for the United States since having wrist surgery in early March. She faced one weak shot as the ball stayed in the South Korean half most of the game. ' ' '
