High Salary W

Corey Perry-Anaheim Ducks ($6,700): Perry has been inconsistent this year but has picked up game up a bit recently. He’s got three points in his last five games and has an average of 3.3 fantasy points a game. The veteran winger still logs good ice time and will have plenty of opportunities to find the scoresheet tonight in a decent matchup with Minnesota tonight. Perry could be someone that gets overlooked, making him a good target for your lineup.

Ryan O’Reilly-Buffalo Sabres ($6,000): O’Reilly makes for a great target at winger tonight thanks to the fact that his salary won’t break the bank and his production could rank right up there with some of the higher-priced options tonight. He’s working on a two-game point streak and has six points in his last seven games. He’ll take his hot streak and average of 3.5 fantasy points a game to Colorado tonight. Be sure to get him into your lineup.

Vladimir Tarasenko-St. Louis Blues ($7,800): Tarasenko is the most expensive winger available, and for good reason. He’s one of the best fantasy wingers and should be the top target for tonight. He’s averaging 4.4 fantasy points a game and is working on a two-game point streak with a goal and an assist. He’s got 46 points on the season and will make for a fine target tonight against Detroit.

High Value W

Jarome Iginla-Colorado Avalanche ($4,700): Colorado’s veteran winger continued his strong play this season with a goal against Winnipeg on Monday night. He’s now up to 13 goals and 12 assists and is averaging 2.8 fantasy points a game. Iginla has five points in his last eight games and has turned himself into a must-start each time he’s on the ice. He’ll look to keep his good streak going tonight at home against Buffalo.

Jakob Silfverberg-Anaheim Ducks ($4,100): Silfverberg flies under the fantasy radar in Anaheim but warrants a look for your lineup tonight. He was held pointless on Sunday but had a two-game point streak before that. With four points in the past three games, Silfverberg makes for a solid value pick at winger tonight.

Alex Tanguay-Colorado Avalanche ($3,700): With tonight’s limited options, Colorado’s Alex Tanguay is a good sleeper target. He hasn’t done a whole lot this season with just 16 points through 36 games, but picked up an assist in Monday’s game and now has two points in his last three games. Tanguay gets to go up against Buffalo tonight, a team ranked 21st against opposing left wingers.
