FanDuel DFS daily picks: Optimal fantasy hockey lineup – January 12

High Salary LW

Taylor Hall – Edmonton Oilers ($8,100): Hall has seen a drop in his salary thanks to a four game stretch during which he hasn’t recorded a point. That makes him a potential value. Perhaps all he needs is a game against the Arizona Coyotes to get him back on track. He has 20 points in 19 career games against them and he goes against them tonight. He averages 4.3 fantasy hockey points per game.

Zach Parise – Minnesota Wild ($9,200): Parise has 27 points this season in 33 games. He has five goals in his last four games and has 36 shots on goal in his last ten games. He goes against the Buffalo Sabres tonight and he has 19 points in 28 career games against them. He averages 3.9 fantasy points per game.

Gabriel Landeskog – Colorado Avalanche ($6,800): The Avalanche captain has 31 points in 39 games this season. He has a four game point streak and has seven points in his last ten games. He’s been playing extremely well lately and he goes against the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight. He averages 3.1 fantasy hockey points per game.

High Value LW

Artemi Panarin – Chicago Blackhawks ($6,100): Panarin’s salary is slowly starting to creep up as he has 39 points in 44 games this season. He leads all rookies in points and is the clear Calder Trophy favorite. He has eight points in his last seven games. He has a point in two games against the Predators, who he plays tonight. Patrick Kane is his linemate and Kane’s starting to heat up again. That makes Panarin even more valuable. He averages 3.4 fantasy hockey points per game.

Tobias Rieder – Arizona Coyotes ($5,200): Rieder has 26 points in 41 games this season. He has two multi-point games in his last three outings. In six career games against the Edmonton Oilers, Rieder has three points. He’s playing very well as of late. He averages 2.6 fantasy points per game.
