High Salary Wings

Filip Forsberg – Nashville Predators ($6,900): Forsberg has a five-game point streak and he will look to advance it to six games tonight against the Dallas Stars. He has 31 goals, 27 assists, 58 points, 39 blocked shots, and 231 shots on goal this season for the Predators in 76 games. Over his last 10 games, Forsberg has seven points (six of them coming during his point streak), five blocked shots, and 29 shots on goal. He averages 3.8 fantasy points per game.

Jamie Benn – Dallas Stars ($7,800): No Tyler Seguin, no problem for Benn. The Stars wing is second only to Patrick Kane in points this season and has three points in four games without Seguin. Benn has 37 goals, 47 assists, 84 points, 52 blocked shots, and 234 shots on goal this season in 77 games. He has 12 points, nine blocked shots, and 27 shots on goal over his last 10 games. Benn has 47 points in 37 home games and he averages 4.6 fantasy hockey points per game.

Phil Kessel – Pittsburgh Penguins ($6,700): Kessel has been hot as of late with seven points in his last two games. He’s quietly had a solid season in Pittsburgh with 23 goals, 31 assists, 54 points, and 247 shots on goal in 75 games. His production is sorely needed with Malkin out and Kessel has delivered. The Penguins wing averages 3.5 fantasy hockey points per game.

High Value Wings

Nino Niederreiter – Minnesota Wild ($4,400): Niederreiter has had the Chicago Blackhawks number this season with five points in four games against them. He will face them against tonight. Niederreiter has 19 goals, 22 assists, 41 points, and 149 shots on goal in 76 games this season. He has eight points over his last 10 games. The Wild wing averages 2.4 fantasy points per game.

Kyle Palmieri – New Jersey Devils ($5,400): Palmieri has the hot hand with 10 points in his last 10 games. He has 29 goals, 24 assists, 53 points, 44 blocked shots, and 201 shots on goal this season. Palmieri will go tonight against the Bruins. He averages 3.4 fantasy hockey points per game.

Robby Fabbri – St. Louis Blues ($4,000): Fabbri is a great value play tonight against the Colorado Avalanche, who just played on Monday. The rookie forward has 18 goals, 19 assists, 37 points, and 112 shots on goal in 70 games this season. Over his last 10 games, Fabbri has three goals, six assists, nine points, and 22 shots on goal. He averages 2.2 fantasy points per game (including 3.3 per game over his last 10 games).
