KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Mike Montgomery used to dream of pitching at Kauffman Stadium. Hell finally get his chance Sunday, albeit for the Seattle Mariners.The 2008 first-round draft pick by the Royals, Montgomery will make his first start of the season. Hes looking forward to facing some of his buddies, although its been a while since he was in the same organization.Its definitely exciting, but at the same time its just pitching, Montgomery said. Its exciting to face these guys. Im ready. Theres a little more added excitement, but its not going to be too crazy.Montgomery was traded to Tampa Bay before the 2013 season in the deal that brought Wade Davis and James Shields to Kansas City.He made his Major League debut last year for Seattle.Its been long enough, and I was with Tampa for a couple of years, Montgomery said. Theyve got a good team over there so I have to be ready to go.Montgomery (2-3, 2.15 ERA) might be downplaying it a little, but his skipper says that facing a former employer can give a player some extra juice.Its probably cool for Mike, Seattle manager Scott Servais said. He was drafted by the Royals and he was a top prospect. Just like a lot of guys, sometimes its when you put on your next uniform that it comes together and clicks.You always have the anxiety of going back and pitching against your friends and former teammates. But hes been away long enough that I hope thats gone away.Servais was asked, then, if he remembered his first series in Houston after he was traded to the Cubs.Absolutely, he said. I remember the first (time) I played there. I faced Mike Hampton (his current bullpen coach with the Mariners).And? I did OK, I hit a homer. Servais three-run home run turned a 3-2 deficit into a 5-3 lead.Kansas City center fielder Jarrod Dyson was Montgomerys roommate in their time together in Triple-A Omaha in the Royals Minor League system. Dyson is anxious to face his old friend.He hit me the last time I faced him, Dyson said. Im going to kill him. No, hes a great friend of mine. We always mess with each other about baseball. Hes a real competitor and hes got good stuff. He loves to go out there and compete. I just love to see him up here in the big leagues.Dyson said its not hard to face a close friend and try to beat him.To me its fun, because the whole time we lived together I told him that if I ever faced him I would take him up top, Dyson said. Hed always tell me he was going to strike me out on three pitches. Thats competition.If I get in the box against him. Ill try to get a base hit against him so I can talk some trash with him. If he strikes me out, hes going to do the same with me.Dyson probably wont face Montgomery, as he generally only faces right-handed pitchers and Montgomery is left-handed.Montgomery recorded his first career shutout against Kansas City June 23, 2015. He scattered five hits and struck out 10.That was last year, Montgomery said. It was great that it happened, but this is a new year. You have to game-plan without worrying about what happened last year, good or bad.While Montgomery will finally be fulfilling a dream, Dillon Gee (3-2, 4.05 ERA) will be trying to prove that he can fill the fifth-starter spot for the Royals.Gee is 2-2 with a 6.05 ERA as a starter. He will get the first crack at assuming the role previously filled by Chris Young. Young is 2-8 with a 6.90 ERA this season. He has only two quality starts out of 13 and is 0-3 with an 8.37 ERA in his last six starts. Air Max Cheap Sale .

Jets start a six game home stand Friday with another divisional game, home to the Dallas Stars. 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.Contractual peace wins out on Winnipegs blue line; another young defenseman and a backup goaltender in The Big Apple deserve some extra fantasy love; and is one of pro hockeys most formidable forces of the past quarter-century finally seeing his star fade in Florida?ForwardsJustin Abdelkader, LW/RW, Detroit Red Wings Ownership percentage: 55.6Even those who have casually monitored Abdelkader since his NHL debut in 2010 recognize the versatile winger as one of the streakiest performers in the league. In that vein, its worth pointing out that hes on one of his mini tears at present -- riding a three-game point streak and scoring in two straight -- as a top-six skater. Strike while the 29-year-olds stick is hot. Its also worth noting that Tyler Bertuzzi will be making his NHL debut in Tuesdays game, on a line with Frans Nielsen and Dylan Larkin. Its too early to add him in standard leagues, but keep an eye on the situation.Michael Cammalleri, LW, New Jersey Devils Ownership percentage: 44.8Theres nothing like a natural hat trick to assist a player in breaking out of a scoring slump. Goalless to start 2016-17, Cammalleri erupted for three unanswered in Sundays 4-1 victory against the Carolina Hurricanes. Skating on a scoring line, and power play, with center Adam Henrique, the veteran sniper is a steady threat to score when healthy and hot. And right now, the 34-year-old is both.Matt Read, LW/RW, Philadelphia Flyers Ownership percentage: 16.8The latest line rushes out of Philly suggest Read will take over for Brayden Schenn on the left side of center Claude Giroux and Wayne Simmonds. Rumored to sit on the trade block earlier this season, Read is making a strong case for sticking around -- and/or raising his asking price on the market -- as he is tied for the clubs scoring lead with six goals.Cal Clutterbuck, RW, New York Islanders Ownership percentage: 10.8The latest candidate to sub in on the right side of John Tavares, Clutterbuck scored his second goal of the season -- and first since the opening week -- against the Vancouver Canucks Monday. As long as the feisty and physical forward remains in that role, he merits additional attention in both standard leagues and DFS play. Just be sure to jettison the 28-year once he drops back to the bottom six.Patrick Maroon, LW, Edmonton Oilers Ownership percentage: 5.8This experiment might not last long, but Maroon is currently replacing Milan Lucic on a line with Connor McDavid and Jordan Eberle. In the interim, the big winger presents as underrated -- and under-priced -- asset in DFS play. Mind you, Lucic has maintained his role on the top power-play unit, so this is not an invitation to drop him.Mikko Rantanen, RW, Colorado Avalanche Ownership percentage: 3.8A week following his 20th birthday, Rantanen notched his first NHL point -- an assist on Gabriel Landeskogs game-winning, power-play goal versus the Wild. Consider it the first of many for the towering, talented youngster, whos getting the early opportunity to shine on an even-strength line with Nathan MacKinnon and Matt Duchene.Nikita Soshnikov, RW, Toronto Maple Leafs Ownership percentage: 1.1Briefly mentioned in this space last week, Soshnikov has since made an excellent impression in his first three games of 2016-17, scoring a goal and an assist, all the while antagonizing the opposition. Now theres chatter among Torontos punditry collective that the 23-year-old may not be long for the clubs fourth line. A place alongside a red-hot Nazem Kadri is being volleyed about, along with the potential supplanting of Zach Hyman on a line with Auston Matthews and William Nylander. Hes worth a speculative add based on the chances of either.DefensemenJacob Trouba, Winnipeg Jets Ownership percentage: 33.1One two-year, $6 million bridge deal later, and thhe prickly standoff between the Jets and young defenseman is over.dddddddddddd Immediately back on the ice with teammates Tuesday morning, Trouba is projected to make his return to the Jets blue line sometime this week. After the holdout, the 22-year-old has a lot to prove. And the Jets will only benefit -- whether they actually intend to trade him or not -- from the young D-man playing well. That adds up to a potential breakout performance from the former first-round draft pick (No. 9 overall, 2012) through the rest of 2016-17. That ownership number will soon be much closer to 100, and should be.Dennis Seidenberg, New York Islanders Ownership percentage: 32.0Goodness knows, this offensive onslaught wont last forever, but consider giving the 35-year-old some temporary fantasy love while hes regularly denting the score sheet. Four goals and four helpers in eight games might also earn Seidenberg a regular shift with the man advantage.Brady Skjei, New York Rangers Ownership percentage: 10.3Adapting beautifully in his first full season in the NHL, Skjei is riding a five-game point streak with six assists, two of them counting with the extra skater. A striking fantasy commodity altogether, the 22-year-old, former first-round draft selection (2012), is exponentially more attractive in dynasty leagues.GoaltendersCalvin Pickard, Colorado Avalanche Ownership percentage: 9.5Move over Semyon Varlamov, Pickard is making a charge at your No. 1 designation with the Avalanche, as hes been so much better (1.50 goals-against average, .946 save percentage) -- in admittedly limited action -- to date. If hitching your fantasy cart to a Colorado goaltender, you may as well choose the hot hand.Antti Raanta, New York Rangers Ownership percentage: 4.6As far as NHL understudies go, Raanta is one of the leagues better second bananas so far this autumn. So much so that coach Alain Vigneault can gift No. 1 Henrik Lundqvist a night off at leisure, knowing his club is in the hands of a netminder rocking a 3-0 record and .930 save percentage. Feel free to enlist Raantas services whenever he projects to start in matchup-friendly DFS action.Lowered expectationsLogan Couture, C, San Jose Sharks Ownership percentage: 90.6With just the one assist (and a minus-five rating in plus/minus) in his past seven contests, the 27-year-old center is clearly struggling in the early stages of this campaign. While coach Pete DeBoer remains fiercely committed to rolling out balanced scoring lines, Coutures role between wingers Joonas Donskoi and, at last look, untested 20-year-old rookie Kevin Labanc, inspires additional uncertainty. Consider giving the former 30-goal scorer a breather on your fantasy bench until he breaks out of this lull. Who knows? Maybe Labanc -- who has thus far lit up the AHL with four goals and six assists in six games -- proves to be the ideal salve by Coutures side.Marc-Andre Fleury, G, Pittsburgh Penguins Ownership percentage: 86.5The starters crease is no longer Fleurys to lose in Pittsburgh. Allowing just the one goal on 65 shots through his first two post-injury games of the season (both wins), Matt Murray is pegged to start his second straight game, against the visiting Oilers on Tuesday. Youd be fine to bench the clubs former No. 1 until theres a change in circumstance.Jaromir Jagr, RW, Florida Panthers Ownership percentage: 74.2The future first-ballot Hall-of-Famer may finally be feeling the enduring effects of his advanced age. Only 13 games into this season, Jagr has prematurely cut two of his most recent contests short, claiming to suffer from cramping and a groin issue. Couple those nagging concerns with just the one goal and four assists, and we wonder if this is the beginning of the end. Hes 44 years old, folks.Seth Jones, D, Columbus Blue Jackets Ownership percentage: 73.4A hairline foot fracture is forcing the Blue Jackets top defenseman to miss the next three weeks or so. Look for David Savard to fill in alongside rookie firecracker Zach Werenski on the top pairing, while Ryan Murray inherits Jones minutes with the secondary power-play unit.
