High Value Defensemen

Shayne Gostisbehere – Philadelphia Flyers ($5,400): Gostisbehere is simply unreal at this point. He now has an 11 game point streak, which is a record for rookie defensemen.

Zdeno Chara – Boston Bruins ($5,300): Chara might be getting old but he is still a viable fantasy option. He has eight goals and 22 assists for 30 points in 53 games this season. The Bruins defenseman also has 111 shots on goal, 85 hits and 81 blocked shots. Over his last ten games, Chara has six points, 17 hits, and 15 blocked shots while averaging 3.4 fantasy points per game during that span. He goes today against the Red Wings who rank 21st against defensemen.

Dan Girardi – New York Rangers ($3,800): Girardi could be a huge steal today as he racks up a ton of fantasy hockey points with blocked shots and hits. He has 13 points this season with 110 hits and 127 blocked shots.
