Best Fantasy Players in November

In keeping with the first post, this is meant to be a public record of each month's leading fantasy point getters. If someone starts trying to trade you Sheldon Souray in February, you'll be able to look back and see the month where he got all his points. Below are your outliers for November.

Top 12 Fantasy Point Totals:

Zdeno Chara (31.4)
Tomas Fleischmann (30.3)
Shea Weber (29)
Jonathan Toews (28.8)
Marian Hossa (28.4)
Ryan Suter (28.2)
Joffrey Lupul (27.7)
Patrick Sharp (27.3)
Brian Campbell (27)
Evgeni Malkin (26.9)
Johan Franzen (26.8)
Nicklas Lidstrom (26.2)

Top 12 Fantasy Point Averages:

Sidney Crosby (3.5) **Only five games played
Zdeno Chara (2.6)
Evgeni Malkin (2.2)
Ian White (2.2) **Only 9 games played
Tomas Fleischmann (2.2)
Steven Stamkos (2.1)
Joffrey Lupul (2.1)
Tyler Seguin (2.1)
James Neal (2.1)
Shea Weber (2.1)
Johan Franzen (2.1)
Nicklas Lidstrom (2.0)
Ryan Suter (2.0)
Brad Marchand (2.0)

Okay, that was 14, but two of them played fewer than 12 games in the month! Plus, exactly 14 players scored 2.0 or higher.

Top 5 Goalies:

Mike Smith (37.6 / 3.4)
Tim Thomas (31.3 / 3.9)
Jimmy Howard (34.3 / 2.6)
Henrik Lundqvist (27.3 / 3.0)
Niklas Backstrom (26.7 / 3.3) ** Only played 7 games
Brian Elliott (24.6 / 4.1) ** Only played 6 games


The only players or goalies to show up in both October and November? Joffrey Lupul and Evgeni Malkin. My brain tells me one of these guys is for real, and the other has a closing window on getting traded for Pronger a third time in his career. Also, we notice team trends on these lists so far. The Leafs and Capitals were well represented in October, and now the Blackhawks, Bruins, Panthers, Predators, Red Wings and Penguins are all present with multiple players.
