High Salary RW

Patrick Kane – Chicago Blackhawks ($9,400): Patrick Kane is up to his usual tricks. He has three multi-point outings during his current four game point streak. He has 13 points in his last 10 games and an absurd 59 points in 41 games this season. When Kane gets on a roll, he’s arguably the best player in the NHL. Kane’s on a roll so definitely start him tonight. He averages 5.6 fantasy hockey points per game.

Corey Perry – Anaheim Ducks ($7,700): Perry has been very disappointing this season with just 25 points in 37 games. However, things are looking up for him. He has four goals and 21 shots on goal in his last six games so maybe he’s finally starting to get going. The Ducks definitely need the help. He averages 3.1 fantasy hockey points per game.

Vladimir Tarasenko – St. Louis Blues ($9,100): Tarasenko has 41 points in 40 games this season and has 12 points in his last ten games. He’s been by far the Blues most consistent offensive player. The Blues rely very heavily on him and their power play tends to revolve around getting him the puck. He has nine points in twelve career games against the Colorado Avalanche. Look for that to increase tonight. He averages 4.4 fantasy hockey points per game.

High Value RW

Kyle Palmieri – New Jersey Devils ($5,000): It’s quite amazing that Palmieri hasn’t seen a huge price adjustment on FanDuel with 28 points in 40 games. He has four goals in his last six games and has taken over as the Devils most effective offensive weapon. He averages 3.4 fantasy points per game.

Brendan Gallagher – Montreal Canadiens ($5,600): Even more confusing than Palmieri’s lack of a price adjustment is Gallagher’s. He has 22 points in 24 games this season. Max Pacioretty’s recent improvement over his last two games has a lot to do with getting his favorite right wing back in the lineup. He has two goals and an assist n his first two games back. He averages 4.2 fantasy points per game.
