FanDuel DFS Fantasy hockey picks January 5th

High Salary LW

Alex Ovechkin – Washington Capitals ($10,100): Ovechkin is one of the hottest players in the league right now with seven goals and nine points to go along with 52 shots on goal in his last ten games. He takes on a Boston Bruins team that is missing one of its best defensemen in Torey Krug. He averages 5.2 fantasy hockey points per game.

Max Pacioretty – Montreal Canadiens ($9,200): Mad Max is back. He has a three game point streak during which he has four points and has 31 points in 40 games so far this season. Look for his points to start rising as he benefits more from Gallagher’s return than any other Canadiens forward. He averages 3.8 fantasy points per game.

Jakub Voracek – Philadelphia Flyers ($7,200): Voracek has been a disappointment this season with just 25 points in 37 games. However, he has ten points and 34 shots on goal in his last ten games. He’s been looking a lot like he did last season when he was dominant. He averages 2.8 fantasy hockey points per game.

High Value LW

Loui Eriksson – Boston Bruins ($5,100): With 33 points in 37 games, Eriksson has been an at worst solid option on FanDuel all season long. He has eight points in his last ten games and he’s going against a Capitals team that is without their entire top pairing. He averages 3.3 fantasy points per game.

Jonathan Huberdeau – Florida Panthers ($6,100): Huberdeau has arguably been the Panthers best wing during their nine game winning streak with nine points, including eight assists, and 26 shots on goal during that time. While he only has five points in 14 career games against the Sabres, this is as good as he’s looked during his time in Florida. He averages 2.7 fantasy hockey points per game.
