FanDuel NHL: Tuesday Value Plays

FanDuel NHL: Tuesday Value Plays

This article is part of our FanDuel NHL series.

Goalie

John Gibson, ANH vs WAS ($8,700): Gibson has won each of his last five outings, allowing just nine goals over those contests. Anaheim is a tight team defensively, especially at home, as its team GAA there is just 2.66. Washington has not been good on the road with a 14-12-5 record.

Center

Vincent Trocheck, FLA at TB ($6,900): Trocheck is the "do-it-all" guy for the Panthers, who have another center that's similar in Aleksander Barkov. However, Trocheck comes at a better value. Trocheck has 57 points — 24 goals — and scores in all situations including on the power play (11 goals) and shorthanded (two goals). The pivot sees over 20 minutes of ice time and averages 3.49 SOG, fifth-most amongst centers. The Lightning have been friendly to centers over their last 14 games, allowing 21 goals and 32 assists.

Paul Stastny, WPG at NYR ($5,700): Over his last three games, Stastny has two goals and two assists, as he continues to become more comfortable skating with Patrik Laine and Nikolaj Ehlers. The American-born veteran steps into a promising matchup against the Rangers, who have allowed the most fantasy points to centers over the last four weeks. During the 14-game stretch, the Rangers have allowed 26 goals and 30 assists to the position.

Wing

Gabriel Landeskog, COL at CHI ($5,900): Landeskog hasn't been priced under $6,000 since Jan. 6. In his last 10 games outings against Chicago, Landeskog has three goals and five assists. Skating on one of the better lines in the league with Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen, Landeskog has 21 goals and 47 points and is always dangerous on the power play, where he has seven tallies.

Alex Galchenyuk, MTL at NJ ($5,600): Galchenyuk should play a more substantial role with Max Pacioretty sidelined for 4-6 weeks. The 24-year-old has five points — three goals — in his last three games and has has eight points in his last five games against the Devils. Against left wingers over the last four weeks, the Devils have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points, as well.

Alex Killorn, TB vs FLA ($5,100): It's hard to look past Killorn's value skating on Tampa's first line with Steven Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov. For this reason, Killorn will be a popular play in most formats with four points in his last six games. The Lightning average 3.56 GPG while Florida's GAA is 3.11.

Defense

Tyson Barrie, COL at CHI ($5,600): Barrie has quickly become an offensive threat on the blue line for the Avalanche. The 26-year-old averages 2.26 points per 60 minutes, the highest mark amongst defensemen. The British Columbia native comes into this matchup with Chicago in good form with a point in three straight games, totaling two goals and three assists over that span. Chicago has allowed the most fantasy points to defensemen over the last four weeks.

Jeff Petry, MTL at NJ ($4,500): Petry will see plenty of ice time moving forward with Shea Weber out for the season. With 31 points — 10 goals — and 17 power-play points, those numbers could go up Tuesday against the Devils. Over their last 15 games, the Devils have allowed nine goals and 30 assists to defensemen.
