High Salary D

Drew Doughty – Los Angeles Kings ($7,000): Doughty has been on fire recently. He has seven points in his last ten games, including five points during the Kings current five game winning streak. He has 24 points in 38 games this season. He has 17 points in 25 career games against Colorado. He averages 3.1 fantasy hockey points per game.

Justin Faulk – Carolina Hurricanes ($6,300): Faulk has been one of the most consistent fantasy hockey options on FanDuel this season. He has seven points in his last ten games but has been held off the scoresheet in his last three games. He has eight shots on goal in those three games. Look for him to get on the scoresheet tonight against the Oilers. He averages 3.1 fantasy hockey points per game.

Oliver Ekman-Larsson – Arizona Coyotes ($5,800): Larsson has eight points in his last ten games. He’s going against the Canucks who are without Ryan Miller tonight. He’s been playing very well recently. He averages 2.9 fantasy hockey points per game.

High Value D

Jacob Muzzin – Los Angeles Kings ($5,000): Muzzin has 18 points in 38 games this season for the Kings. He’s a solid value option tonight going against the Colorado Avalanche because of how well his teammate (and better half of his defensive pairing) Drew Doughty has done against them. He averages 2.4 fantasy hockey points per game.

DAILY PICKS: Go with Larsson and Muzzin. Can’t go wrong with Doughty and Muzzin either.
