Goalie
Connor Hellebuyck, WPG vs FLA ($8,200): Hellebuyck has already been confirmed to start Sunday's home tilt. The Jets' netminder has won each of his last two games and has fared particularly well versus the Panthers. Against Sunday's opponent, Hellebuyck is 2-0 with a 1.92 GAA and has stopped 72 of the 76 shots he's seen for a .947 save percentage.
Center
Nazem Kadri, TOR at DET ($6,400): Kadri comes into this matchup with at least one point in eight of his last 11 games, with seven goals and eight assists over that span. Detroit has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to centers over the last month, likely putting Kadri in matchups he'll most often be able to exploit as the Leafs' second-line center.
Dylan Larkin, DET at TOR ($6,300): Larkin comes into Sunday with a point in four of his past six games. As one of the fastest skaters in the NHL, expect him to create some high-danger scoring opportunities. On pace for the most points in his career, Larkin has 43 points -- nine goals -- in 57 games this season with eight points on the power play. In nine games against the Maple Leafs, he's recorded two goals and five assists with a plus-5 rating.
Wing
Kyle Connor, WPG vs FLA ($5,100): Connor has a goal in two of his last four games and has produced 19 goals and 128 shots on goal in an average of 16:45 per game. It's hard to believe the Jets are 22-5-2 at home this season, but this team has taken a huge step forward, and Connor has been an important part of that.
Timo Meier, SJ vs DAL ($5,000): The young winger for the Sharks has shown a step in development this season with 14 goals, eight assists and 149 shots on goal. Perhaps the most telling part of Meier's game is the amount of high-danger scoring chances he's generating, ranking sixth in the NHL with a 6.17 iHDCF/60.
Mitch Marner, TOR at DET ($6,600): As one of Kadri's line mates, Marner has been hot of late with a point in seven of his last 10 games. For the Leafs, who are fifth in the NHL with 3.27 GPG, Marner is in a good spot to improve his 13-goal, 32-assist campaign, with 15 of those 45 points coming on the power play.
Defense
Esa Lindell, DAL at SJ ($4,400): Lindell hasn't had a point in his last four games, but this matchup against the Sharks, who have allowed the third-most fantasy points to the position over that last month, may be just what he needs to make it back onto the scoresheet. Lindell has recorded eight of his 23 points on the power play. He also offers blocked shots and shots on goal while seeing 22:03 of ice time per game.
Dustin Byfuglien, WPG vs FLA ($6,400): Byfuglien has back-to-back multi-point games and has recorded a goal, five assists and three shots on goal per game over his last five contests. The 32-year-old American is averaging 23:38 of ice time per game with 3:18 coming on the power play. Florida has the 19th-ranked penalty kill, and with Byfuglien entering Sunday with 15 points on the man advantage, he has a great chance of adding to that total.
