High Salary D

Kevin Shattenkirk – St. Louis Blues ($5,600): Shattenkirk has nine goals and 18 assists for 27 points in 40 games this season for the Blues. He has three points in his last ten games. He goes against the Avalanche tonight who he has 12 points in 20 career games against. He averages 2.8 fantasy hockey points per game.

Duncan Keith – Chicago Blackhawks ($5,900): Most defensemen are worth worrying about playing games on back-to-back night. Keith is one of the ones who you don’t have to worry about. He has played 98 minutes in his last two sets of games on back-to-back games and has had at least one point in both sets. He has seven goals and 23 assists for 30 points in 40 games this season for the reigning Stanley Cup champs. He averages 2.9 fantasy points per game.

Erik Karlsson – Ottawa Senators ($6,200): Karlsson currently has a three game point streak, during which he has four points (all assists). He’s another guy who thrives in back-to-back games as he just played last night. He has 40 assists and 49 points in 47 games this season. He averages 3.7 fantasy hockey points per game.

High Value D

Rasmus Ristolainen – Buffalo Sabres ($4,800): Ristolainen has been a bright spot for the Sabres this season with eight goals and 23 assists for 31 points in 47 games while averaging over 20 minutes of ice time per game. The Sabres have long needed a top pairing defenseman and they appear to have one in Rasmus. He has seven points in his last ten games. He goes tonight against Detroit. He averages 2.5 fantasy points per game.

Nick Leddy – New York Islanders ($4,300): Leddy has two goals and 15 assists for 17 points in 45 games this season. He averages over 20 minutes of ice time per game. Eight of his points have come in his last ten games so maybe he’s finally starting to heat up. He’s well rested and the Senators just played on Thursday night so the odds are in his favor. He averages 1.4 fantasy hockey points per game.
