Phil Kessel – PIT (W) – $6100

The Pittsburgh Penguins will play host to the visiting St. Louis Blues tonight, in a matchup where the Pens are a -215 and projected to score 3.6 goals. Phil Kessel is a moderately priced winger, and a good way to get some exposure to the goal scoring of the Penguins. Kessel has been on a tear this month, averaging 3.45 shots per game.

Ryan Ellis – NSH (D) – $4500

While Nashville did get back the services of P.K. Subban, they are still without Roman Josi, thus providing an advantageous opportunity for defenseman, Ryan Ellis. Ellis will be part of the first defensive pairing, in addition to playing on the top powerplay unit. Ellis should benefit from an increase in time on the ice. Over the recent month, he’s averaged 25.70 minutes (averages 23.54 on the year).

Patrick Marleau – SJ (W) – $4800

Patrick Marleau went off last night, and we’ll be looking for more of the same tonight. Marleau has been moved up to the first line, and it appears to be a good fit. Marleau will play on the wing, alongside Joe Thornton, and Joe Pavelski. Since being moved to the top line, Marleau has seen upwards of 18 and 19 minutes per game. Even with a tough matchup, on a road back to back, his playing time at this price, is valuable.

Good luck!
