Top Options
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Brent Burns (SJ) | at CLB | 8 |
| Drew Doughty (LA) | at CAR | 8 |
Burns has easily been the best defenseman in the NHL thus far. Even without his 14 points, he can still return value based on his 83 shots and 37 blocked shots through only 19 games!
Best of the Rest
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Andrei Markov (MON) | vs NYI | 7 |
| P.K. Subban (MON) | vs NYI | 6 |
| Justin Faulk (CAR) | vs LA | 6 |
Markov and Subban are the best offensive pairing in the NHL. Markov get's the edge due to his lower price and ability to block shots with the best of them (41). Faulk could be one of the most underrated players in the league, yet, he has six goals on 65 shots through 19 games.
Nothing to See Here
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Johnny Boychuk (NYI) | at MON | 4 |
| Ryan Murray (CLB) | vs SJ | 4 |
| Alexander Edler (VAN) | vs NJ | 3 |
| Jake Muzzin (LA) | at CAR | 3 |
| Alec Martinez (LA) | at CAR | 2 |
Boychuk has been great this season, but isn't worth rostering against Carey Price. Murray has taken a step forward offensively with 10 points already. Muzzin and Martinez can return value with blocked shots and could garner some points against Carolina.
