High Salary Right Wings

Vladimir Tarasenko – St. Louis Blues ($7,900): Tarasenko has 26 goals and 21 assists for 47 points this season with 196 shots on goal in 54 games for the Blues. While he might only have two goals and an assist over his last 10 games, he also has 34 shots on goal. He is going to break out of his slump soon. It’s not a question of if he will, but when he will. Vlad goes tonight against the Florida Panthers while averaging four fantasy hockey points per game.

Nikita Kucherov – Tampa Bay Lightning ($6,800): Kucherov has 21 goals and 24 assists for 45 points this season with 132 shots on goal for the Lightning. He has been scorching hot as of late with five goals and six assists for 11 points over his last ten games. Look for him to get another streak started tonight against the Predators after being held off the scoresheet in each of his past two games. The Lightning forward averages 3.4 fantasy hockey points per game.

High Value Right Wings

Reilly Smith – Florida Panthers ($4,800): Smith has been a great pickup for the Panthers this season. He has 16 goals and 12 assists for 28 points with a plus-minus rating of +12 in 54 games for Florida. In his last ten games, Smith has six goals and five assists for 11 points with a plus-minus rating of +4. Look for him to do well tonight against the Blues. The Panthers wing averages 2.7 fantasy hockey points per game.

Jesper Fast – New York Rangers ($4,400): Fast is a bit of a risky pick tonight but he could give you some excellent value. He has five assists and a goal for six points over his last six games and a goal with six assists for seven points over his last eight. Over his last eight games, he also has a plus-minus rating of +10. Fast is hot right now and so is his line mate J.T. Miller. Ride them while they’re hot. The Rangers forward averages 1.6 fantasy hockey points per game.
