Roman Josi – NAS (D) – $6200

Roman Josi has proven to be an auto-play in almost every situation of late. He’s met or exceeded value in every single game throughout the month of February and is in a favorable spot to continue that trend tonight. Josi has a secure floor from his peripheral scoring, where he has averaged 3.45 shots and 1.91 blocks per game, this month. He also has equally valuable upside, playing as part of the first defensive pairing and playing on the top player play unit.

Patrice Bergeron – BOS (W) – $7100

As mentioned, Boston has the best projected team total, at 3.6 goals. Arizona allows the second most shots on goal per game in the NHL, with 33.7. This will play well for skaters like Patrice Bergeron. Bergeron is known for his shot volume, averaging 3.90 shots per game this month. His linemate, Brad Marchand is also at an advantageous price point, and provides an appealing correlation to Bergeron.

Henrick Zetterberg – DET (C) – $5400

Henrick Zetterberg is another skater that has shown outstanding consistency of late. Zetterberg is seeing a slight bump in time on the ice, as he’s now averaging over 20 minutes per game over the course of the past month. Given his skill set, this allotted ice time has allowed him to accumulate 15 points in his last 14 outings.

Phil Di Giuseppe – CAR (W) – $3400

Phil Di Giuseppe was summoned from the minors a few weeks ago, and has found a comfortable spot on the top line for the Canes. He’s seen an increase in playing time since being called up; starting with 12 minutes, moving to 14 minutes, and then 18 minutes on Sunday. If he continues to see ice time in the 18 minute range, he’ll be an excellent value play at only $3400. Di Giuseppe has averaged 4.25 shots per game since his call up and will see time on the second power play unit.

Good luck!
