High Salary RW

Joe Pavelski – San Jose Sharks ($8,300): Pavelski has 24 goals and 24 assists for 48 points in 47 games this season with 127 shots on goal. He has five points during his current three game point streak. He goes tonight against the Avalanche who he has dominated during his career. He averages 4.3 fantasy hockey points per game.

Patrick Kane – Chicago Blackhawks ($9,000): Even at his expensive price, Kane is a must for your fantasy hockey team. He leads the league in points with 73 (30 goals and 43 assists). He also generates tons of shots on goal (185 on the season). He goes tonight against the Hurricanes. He has 10 points in his last six games. He averages 5.6 fantasy hockey points per game.

Blake Wheeler – Winnipeg Jets ($6,300): Wheeler is one of the most underrated forwards in the league. Despite having 13 goals and 32 assists in 48 games this season, nobody talks about him. He has 20 shots on goal over his last five games and goes tonight against the Coyotes who just played on Monday. He averages 3.4 fantasy hockey points per game.

High Value RW

Bobby Ryan – Ottawa Senators ($5,500): Ryan has 17 goals and 25 assists for 42 points in 48 games this season with 114 shots on goal. He has six points during his current five game point streak. Look for him to build on that tonight against the Sabres. He averages 3.3 fantasy points per game.

Jakob Silfverberg – Anaheim Ducks ($5,600): Silfverberg has just 15 points (six goals with nine assists) this season. However, he has been great lately. Nine of his points this season have come in his last six games and he has four multi-point outings during that span. He goes against the Bruins tonight. He averages 1.8 fantasy hockey points per game but he has averaged 5.24 during his last five games.

Reilly Smith – Florida Panthers ($4,100): Smith has 15 goals and 11 assists for 26 points in 48 games this season. He has a three game goal streak and has four goals in his last eight games. He looks to increase his point streak to four games tonight against the Maple Leafs. He averages 2.6 fantasy hockey points per game.
