Cash Game Without UTIL
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| LW | Jamie Benn (DAL) | at MTL |
| LW | Henrik Zetterberg (DET) | at CLB |
| RW | Lee Stempniak (BOS) | at TB |
| RW | Gustav Nyquist (DET) | at CLB |
| C | Jason Spezza (DAL) | at MTL |
| C | Patrice Bergeron (BOS) | at TB |
| D | Dion Phaneuf (OTT) | at CAR |
| D | Mattias Ekholm (NAS) | at WPG |
| G | Pekka Rinne (NAS) | at WPG |
Rinne is a heavy favorite to lead the Predators to victory over the lowly Jets. Ekholm is the cheapest of the notable Nashville defenders, with a sustainable floor. The matchups for Dallas, Detroit and Boston carry plenty of goal-scoring potential, and the top players from all three teams can be targeted.
GPP Without UTIL
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| LW | Taylor Hall (EDM) | vs. SJ |
| LW | Jeff Skinner (CAR) | vs. OTT |
| RW | Justin Abdelkader (DET) | at CLB |
| RW | James Neal (NAS) | at WPG |
| C | Sidney Crosby (PIT) | at NYI |
| C | Riley Sheahan (DET) | at CLB |
| D | Roman Josi (NAS) | at WPG |
| D | Travis Hamonic (NYI) | vs. PIT |
| G | Cam Talbot (EDM) | vs. SJ |
Talbot has a chance for the win with the Oilers returning home after a mini-road trip. Hall is averaging more than a point per game on home ice. Abdelkader and Sheahan are cheaper ways to nab exposure to Detroit in a game where they'll have plenty of opportunities. Crosby is coming off back-to-back multi-point efforts and can be expected to return value again.
Cash Game With UTIL
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| C | Patrice Bergeron (BOS) | at TB |
| C | Ryan Johansen (NAS) | at WPG |
| W | Taylor Hall (EDM) | vs. SJ |
| W | Filip Forsberg (NAS) | at WPG |
| W | Jeff Skinner (CAR) | vs. OTT |
| D | Justin Braun (SJ) | at EDM |
| D | Mattias Ekholm (NAS) | at WPG |
| G | Pekka Rinne (NAS) | at WPG |
| UTIL | Scott Wilson (PIT) | at NYI |
Ride the hot streaks of Bergeron, Forsberg and Hall. They'll come to an end eventually, but it's unlikely to happen in Tuesday's matchups. Wilson is extremely affordable and offers exposure to Crosby's high-potential night. Braun and Ekholm come at reasonable salaries and see plenty of ice time.
GPP With UTIL
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| C | Leon Draisaitl (EDM) | vs. SJ |
| C | Sidney Crosby (PIT) | at NYI |
| W | Taylor Hall (EDM) | vs. SJ |
| W | Patrick Maroon (EDM) | vs. SJ |
| W | Scott Wilson (PIT) | at NYI |
| D | Rasmus Ristolainen (BUF) | vs. NYR |
| D | Alex Goligoski (DAL) | at MTL |
| G | Robin Lehner (BUF) | vs. NYR |
| UTIL | Patric Hornqvist (PIT) | at NYI |
Bank on Hall and Crosby to produce in ideal situations and load up each of their respective lines in large-field tournaments. Lehner is a sneaky choice to pick up the win at home against a depleted Rangers lineup. Ristolainen and Goligoski are reasonably priced and will see plenty of power-play time.
