High Salary C

Tyler Seguin-Dallas Stars ($8,700): Seguin continues to shine bright in Dallas with 17 goals and 25 assists this season. He is one of the league’s best in goals and points and is with the high price tag for daily fantasy hockey. He gets a decent matchup with Montreal tonight, a team ranked 13th against centers. Sequin has seven points in his last five games and can be trusted to proceed great production for your fantasy team.

Nathan MacKinnon-Colorado Avalanche ($6,700): The Colorado center hasn’t scored a goal in 11 games, a stat that could keep his ownership down among fantasy players, making him a target for your fantasy lineup. Despite the goal drought he has still been collecting assists at a good clip with five in his last five games. Edmonton ranks 23rd versus opposing centers, meaning a good matchup could be in store for MacKinnon.

High Value C

Anze Kopitar-LA Kings ($5,200): Kopitar still has a reasonable salary but is starting to produce like the top fantasy center he once was. He scored a goal on Thursday night and now has a four-game point streak and nine points in the last nine games. He faces a struggling Toronto team tonight and could once against be very useful as part of your fantasy lineup.

Frans Nielsen-New York Islanders ($5,200): Nielson had been rolling along at a good pace this season but he’s currently hit a dry stretch of no points in three games. Prior to that he had scored three goals in two games. Nielsen has a favorable matchup tonight with the Arizona Coyotes. If you need to save money at winger and don’t want to risk sacrificing too much production take Nielsen.

Carl Soderberg-Colorado Avalanche($4,200): If you need to take a chance on a low-priced winger tonight a good option is Colorado’s Carl Soderberg. He won’t break the bank, yet can offer solid production with an average of 2.9 fantasy points. He’s scored a goal and registered four assists in the last six games and tonight gets to go against the lowly Edmonton Oilers.
