High Salary C

Sidney Crosby – Pittsburgh Penguins ($8,600): Crosby’s back to being the dominant center that he has been for his entire career. He now has 16 goals and 24 assists for 40 points in 46 games this season. He has a six game point streak during which he has four goals and five assists. He has at least one point in eight of his last ten games. He goes tonight against the Devils. He averages 3.5 fantasy hockey points per game.

Patrice Bergeron – Boston Bruins ($7,100): Bergeron has been the Bruins best player this season with 19 goals and 25 assists for 44 points with 170 shots on goal in 48 games. He has four goals and two assists during his current five game point streak. He’ll look to add to that tonight against the Ducks. He averages 4.2 fantasy points per game.

Ryan Getzlaf – Anaheim Ducks ($6,900): Getzlaf has rebounded from a very slow start and now has three goals and 26 assists for 29 points in 42 games this season. He has an assist in six of his last seven games. He goes tonight against the Bruins who just played last night. He averages 2.6 fantasy points per game.

High Value C

Aleksander Barkov – Florida Panthers ($5,400): Barkov just signed a huge six year extension last night that will pay him over $5,000,000 per season. That’s well deserved for the 20 year old center who has 12 goals and 18 assists in 38 games this season. He has an assist in each of his last two games. He’ll look to increase his point streak to three games tonight against Toronto. He averages 3.3 fantasy hockey points per game.

Joe Thornton – San Jose Sharks ($5,700): Thornton’s price is rising finally after a ridiculous hot streak. He has nine goals and 30 assists this season for the Sharks. He’ll look to increase his point streak to ten games tonight against the Avalanche. He has three multi-point games during his point streak. He averages 3.2 fantasy points per game.

Ryan Spooner – Boston Bruins ($5,300): The Spoonman has 10 goals and 26 assists for 36 points in 48 games this season. The Bruins have needed him to provide offense and he has stepped up to the plate. With David Krejci back, Spooner has been seeing time with Bergeron and Marchand. His three game point streak reflects that. Look for him to add to that tonight against the Ducks. He averages 2.7 fantasy hockey points per game.
