High Salary RW

Joe Pavelski – San Jose Sharks ($8,200): Pavelski has 43 points in 42 games for the Sharks this season. He has five points in his last four games and 11 points in his last ten. Look for Pavelski to do well tonight against the struggling Stars who are coming off a rough 4-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks. He’s averaging 4.3 fantasy hockey points per game.

Vladimir Tarasenko – St. Louis Blues ($8,100): Tarasenko has 44 points in 45 games this season for the Blues. He only has six points in his last ten games. However, the Blues are facing the struggling Canadiens today. Something has to give and I have a feeling Tarasenko will have a big game. He’s averaging 4.2 fantasy hockey points per game.

Matt Duchene – Colorado Avalanche ($8,200): Duchene has 38 points in 45 games this season for the Avalanche, who currently find themselves in the playoffs. Duchene has six goals and ten points in his last nine games and he goes against the Blue Jackets tonight. He averages 3.4 fantasy points per game.

High Value RW

Brendan Gallagher – Montreal Canadiens ($5,100): Gallagher has 22 points in 27 games so far this season. He’s been held off the scoresheet in his past three games but he’s going against the Blues tonight. The Blues are 3-4-3 over their last ten games. Gallagher could end his pointless streak tonight. He averages 3.8 fantasy points per game.

Tyler Toffoli – Los Angeles Kings ($5,000): Look for Toffoli, who has 20 goals and 32 points in 42 games this season, to have a strong game against the Senators today. He averages 3.7 fantasy hockey points per game.
