Centers
Tyler Seguin, DAL@COL ($8400): Because he is the highest priced play at center tonight Tyler gets to play a back to back in mile high altitude. If you are not familiar with Denver where the Avalanche play it can tough on your lungs. the price is not worth the risk of a tired team tonight. You should look for a better matchup.
Anze Kopitar, LAK@CHI ($6600): With twelve goals and twenty eight points so far this season Kopitar is a top play at center today. His recent play has once again made him and line-mate Dustin Brown a very sneaky stack tonight.
Bryan Little, OTT@WPG ($4700): First of all Little is not so much as his name would indicate. Because lately he’s been on fire his last 4 games surpass his 8.1FPPG average by more than double. He’s seeing power play time and his ice time has increased.Loving a mini Winnipeg stack tonight.
Also consider: Artem Anisimov, Erik Haula and Alexander Kerfoot
Wings
Jonathan Marchessault, ARI@VGK ($6400): his fantasy points per game are 16.2 over his last six games he’s doubled that three times. The narrative if you are not familiar is that visiting teams play terrible in Vegas so I like this play tonight from a hot winger.
Nikolaj Ehlers, OTT@WPG ($5700): Ehlers plays on a line with Laine and Wheeler, That line is on fire right now and looking to keep it going tonight at home. Stacking wins tournaments and this low owned 2nd line should go off tonight.
Reilly Smith, ARI@VGK ($5500): First line winger with Marchessault he makes a great play and stack tonight. he sees power play time on both units. Hi FPPG average is 11.3 that will be his floor tonight.
Also Consider: Jamie Benn and Sven Andrighetto
Defense
John Klingberg, DAL@COL ($5500): The last game out Klingbergs ice time was a little under the norm. I sense he was resting for tonight in the mile high city. Play him at your own risk but he should be one of the more rested players on this Dallas team.
Dustin Byfuglien, OTT@WPG ($5100): This guy was a $6,000 player most of last season. He has tremendous offensive upside on a team just starting to kick it up a notch. Because he is getting all of the power play time and blocks a ton of shots he’s in my WPG stack tonight.
Jake Muzzin, LAK@CHI ($4,700): Muzzin is playing on all of the power plays and is the resident offensive-minded defenseman for the Kings. Stacking the kings tonight along with the Jets is my strategy and Jake fits in perfectly at this price.
Also consider: Jacob Trouba
Goaltender
Jonathan Quick, LAK@CHI ($8700): Do you want the best goalie in the world in a featured game? Insert Quick he is the top play on the FanDuel tonight. He may go low owned due to price which is why it’s suggested to play a L.A. stack in this game to support him winning and picking up the 12 points.
Connor Hellybuyck, OTT@WPG ($7900): If you must pivot off Quick tonight, Connor is a solid pick in a game he should see a lot of shots but ultimately win. Similar to my strategy with the Kings if you are going to use him Stack the Jets. His season average is 20.7 FPPG.
Malcolm Subban, ARI@VGK ($7400): It’s difficult to find a value play on a four-game slate. The Knights are in line to get a win and as you will see with strategy picking a goalie who will get the 12 points for a win is crucial none more so than tonight. Any of these three will do but Quick is a Lock.
