High Salary W

Max Pacioretty-Montreal Canadiens ($7,200): Pacioretty has 19 points and 17 assists this season and has two gals and an assist in his last three games. Even when he’s not scoring, he fires shots on goal at a good clip and can still rack up fantasy points for his owners. With an average of 4.1 fantasy points a game and a favorable matchup tonight in Toronto, Pacioretty is a great winger target.

Taylor Hall-Edmonton Oilers ($7,000): Hall is a big part of a young Edmonton team that has a bright future. He’s been on fire lately with a four-game point streak. He’s got an assist in each of the last four games and scored two goals on January 18. Hall has been extremely effective for fantasy hockey, averaging 4.5 fantasy points per game. He’s second in fantasy points among available wingers tonight and makes for a strong selection versus Nashville.

Brad Marchand-Boston Bruins ($6,300): Marchand has been a big producer for the Bruins but was unfortunately forced to miss three games recently due to suspension. He went pointless for three games in his return but has since turned things around. He notched his 18th goal on Thursday, giving him a three-game goal streak and four points in the last four games. A very favorable matchup with Columbus awaits him tonight, making Marchand an excellent choice at winger.

High Value W

Kyle Palmieri-New Jersey Devils ($5,200): New Jersey has struggled to score this year but Palmieri has been very productive with 20 goals and 15 assists. He’s coming off a monster game on Thursday with two goals and an assist in a win over Ottawa. Palmieri will have a good chance to keep rolling tonight versus Winnipeg, a team ranked 25th in points allowed to right wingers.

Shane Doan-Arizona Coyotes ($4,400): Doan has picked up an assist in each of his last two games and has quietly put together a solid season with 16 goals and nine assists through 37 games. He’s got four points in the last six games and have been a good source of fantasy points with an average of 3.1 per game. Tonight he’ll have a tough matchup with Los Angeles, but he’ll be counted on to provide some offense for the Coyotes.

David Perron-Anaheim Ducks ($4,100): Perron and the Ducks were in Washington yesterday but never got to play against the Capitals. When the game was called due to Winter Storm Jonas, Aanheim was fortunate to get out before it got too bad. Now in Detroit, Perron remains a great value pick tonight. He’s fared well with his new team since coming over in a trade on January 15. He’s got a goal and an assist through two games with the Ducks and will look to keep it going against the Red Wings tonight. Perron is a quality sleeper selection tonight.
