High Salary W

Patrick Sharp-Dallas Stars ($6,900): While some of his higher-priced teammates were struggling on Tuesday Sharp continued his solid play. He recorded an assist and now has a 10-game point streak. He’s still been a bit overlooked but is an absolute fantasy beast right now and needs to be in your lineup. A favorable matchup with Winnipeg awaits tonight, making Sharp the a top target at center.

Zach Parise-Minnesota Wild ($7,700): Parise had a hat trick on Tuesday and racked up 13 fantasy points for his owners. It’s tough to repeat the production from a hat trick, but Parise is with a look tonight thanks to a great matchup with Philadelphia. Parise is averaging four fantasy points a game and although he was in a slump before his big game he could be starting to heat up.

High Value W

Jaromir Jagr-Florida Panthers ($5,700): The veteran winger continues to produce at a high rate for the Panthers. He has 29 points in 37 games is riding a two-game point streak. Jagr has been very consistent lately with points in six of his last nine games. His price is still low enough to be considered a value pick. That, coupled with a matchup versus Ottawa, a team ranked 27th against right wingers, makes Jagr a high-priority pick this evening.

Dwight King-LA Kings ($3,300): King is still a bit of a speculative play tonight but it won’t cost you much to take a chance on him. He has played in just four games this year but already has three points. Toronto presents a good matchup and with such a low price tag you can hardly go wrong.

Jonathan Huberdeau-Florida Panthers ($5,300) Huberdeau is another Panther worth taking tonight thanks to both his matchup and recent production. He is coming off a two-point game on Tuesday and has six points over his last five games. He has earned at least three fantasy points five times in the last seven games and has raised his average to 2.9 fantasy points a game. A very favorable matchup with Ottawa awaits him tonight.
