FanDuel NHL: Wednesday Value Plays

FanDuel NHL: Wednesday Value Plays

This article is part of our FanDuel NHL series.

Goalie

John Gibson, ANH vs VAN ($8,300): Gibson has three wins in his last four games with a shutout and just seven goals allowed in the three victories combined. Facing a Canucks team that is just dreadful offensively should bode well for the 24-year-old, even if his upside isn't sky high. He may not see a ton of shots, but Gibson should stymie Vancouver as he has in the past. In seven starts against the Canucks in his career, he's 5-1-1 with a 1.56 GAA and .933 save percentage.

Center

Derick Brassard, PIT at NYR ($5,300): Since coming to the Penguins, Brassard has just one goal and one assist, but the Rangers have allowed the most fantasy points to centers over the last month, including 21 goals and 31 assists surrendered.

Adam Henrique, ANH vs VAN ($5,200): Henrique hasn't recorded a point in his last three outings, but prior to the cold spell, the veteran had recorded four points in his previous four games. Over their last 14 games, the Canucks have allowed 19 goals and 28 assists to centers.

Wing

Patric Hornqvist, PIT at NYR ($6,300): In his last five outings, Hornqvist has three goals and 24 SOG. The Swede is third in the league with 6.14 high-danger scoring chances per 60 minutes in 5v5 situations and is also a threat on the power play with 12 tallies, third-most among wingers. Furthermore, Hornqvist has three goals, two assists, and 12 SOG in his last three outings against the Rangers.

Corey Perry, ANH vs VAN ($6,000): Perry has points in five of his last six gams with three goals and three assists. The former Hart Trophy winner has 15 goals and 27 assists on the campaign and faces a familiar foe in Vancouver. Over his career, Perry has 41 points — 17 goals — in 48 games against the Canucks.

David Perron, VGK vs NJ ($6,300): With 62 points this season, Perron has set a career high. The 29-year-old has a point in four of his last five games and has recorded 27 points in 30 home games. Vegas averages 3.36 GPG, second-most in the league.

Defense

Morgan Rielly, TOR vs DAL ($4,600): The speedy offensive-minded blueliner has four points and 18 SOG over his last four games. Rielly has set a career high with 41 points — six goals — in his fifth NHL season. The Stars come in playing their second game in as many nights after losing to Montreal at the Bell Centre on Tuesday.

Brandon Montour, ANH vs VAN ($3,800): Montour has been getting plenty of ice time, and it's come on the top pairing with Cam Fowler and the top power-play unit, which should get some chances against Vancouver's 26th-ranked penalty kill. The Canucks have also allowed the fourth-most production in the league to defensemen over the last month.
