Here are theScore's sample Squad Up lineups for Friday, Jan. 6:

50-50 Lineup

POS NAME OPPONENT FPPG SALARY
C Auston Matthews (TOR) at NJ 21.8 61K
LW Johnny Gaudreau (CGY) at VAN 17.1 65K
RW Connor Brown (TOR) at NJ 11.8 25K
D Roman Josi (NAS) at FLA 15.3 50K
G Thomas Greiss (NYI) at COL 25.6 81K

Matthews and Brown continue to come at immensely discounted salaries, despite both players being in the midst of extended hot streaks. They have the ice time and shot counts indicative of prolonged success. Josi is coming off a slight down game, but the Predators were able to offer him some rest in a lopsided victory. His high usage will return. Greiss is the safest goalie of the night.

Tournament Lineup

POS NAME OPPONENT FPPG SALARY
C John Tavares (NYI) at COL 16.2 69K
LW Anders Lee (NYI) at COL 15.8 43K
RW Kyle Palmieri (NJ) vs. TOR 15.1 63K
D T.J. Brodie (CGY) at VAN 10.0 25K
G Scott Darling (CHI) vs. CAR 24.5 100K

Tavares and Lee are the top combo of the day with a very plush matchup against the tumultuous Avalanche. Palmieri will benefit from playing at the Maple Leafs' fast, yet mistake-prone pace. Brodie has a good chance of factoring in offensively with power-play time against the Canucks.
