High Salary D

Brent Burns – San Jose Sharks ($7,100): Bruns is on fire lately. He has 40 points in 42 games this season, including 18 goals. He’s on pace to score 30 goals, which is unheard of from a defenseman. He has 12 points in his last nine games and had an eight game point streak going before being held pointless against the Oilers. He averages 4.2 fantasy points per game.

Mark Giordano – Calgary Flames ($6,100): Giordano has emerged from his slow start and has 26 points in 42 games. He has a six game point streak and has at least one point in nine of his last ten games. He goes against the Oilers today. The Oilers have allowed the third-most goals in the league with 133. Giordano has 22 points in 39 games against the Oilers in his career. He averages 2.6 fantasy hockey points per game.

P.K. Subban – Montreal Canadiens ($5,700): Subban has 30 points in 44 games this season. Quite impressive once you realize that he only has two goals. He has 31 shots on goal in his last ten games and currently has a three game point streak. He has seven points in his last 10 games. He averages 3.1 fantasy hockey points per game.

High Value D

Shane Gostisbehere – Philadelphia Flyers ($3,800): Gostisbehere is back after missing several games due to an injury. He has been an unbelievable value for DFS owners with 16 points in 23 games this season. He goes against the Rangers today. He averages 2.9 fantasy hockey points per game.

Tyson Barrie – Colorado Avalanche ($4,500): Barrie has 30 points in 41 games this season. He goes against Columbus on Saturday. Columbus has allowed the most goals in the league. Barrie should have a huge night. He averages 2.6 fantasy points per game.
