FantasyDraft NHL: Tuesday Values

FantasyDraft NHL: Tuesday Values

This article is part of our FantasyDraft NHL series.

GOALIE

San Jose Sharks, SAN vs. DAL ($16,300): The Stars have struggled down the stretch with a 2-6-2 record in their last 10 games. They've also only scored 2.34 goals per contest since the All-Star break, 30th in the NHL. Meanwhile, the Sharks have a 2.47 GAA at home and have only allowed 28.6 shots on net per contest in those games.

CENTER

Erik Haula, VGK at VAN ($10,900): Though he's been overshadowed by William Karlsson, Haula has broken out with 29 goals and 55 points in 74 games. He's also tallied 12 of those goals with the extra man and notched 19 power-play points total. The Canucks have struggled defensively at home, as they have a 3.36 GAA in Vancouver. They also have the 22nd-ranked penalty kill.

Derek Stepan, ARI at CGY ($10,600): Stepan has tallied 10 points in his last eight games thanks to five two-point performances in that time. Though a career-low 6.4 shooting percentage kept his goals down this year, he's still managed 55 points, including 18 on the power play. Calgary has a 3.53 GAA since the All-Star break and is dealing with plenty of injuries.

WING

Kyle Connor, WPG at MON ($12,400): Connor has 11 points in his last 10 games, including seven goals. That gives the rookie 29 goals in 73 contests. He's also currently skating on Winnipeg's top line with Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler, which certainly helps his fantasy potential. The Canadiens had an awful March, as they posted a 3.60 GAA and allowed 36.0 shots on net per game. They also have the worst penalty kill in the league since the All-Star break.

Nikolaj Ehlers, WPG at MON ($11,900): Ehlers has notched 28 goals on 224 shots in 79 games, and the 22-year-old could hit the 30-goal mark for the first time in his career. The Canadiens have a 3.11 GAA and the 30th-ranked penalty kill. Ehlers hasn't received a ton of power-play time, but he's averaged 2:00 per game with the extra man, tallying 13 points.

Clayton Keller, ARI at CGY ($11,800): Keller was the Rookie of the Month for March, and he earned that by tallying 19 points in 16 games. March was much less kind to the Flames, who had a 3.50 GAA and .878 save percentage in that month. Keller has also registered 20 of his 63 points on the power play.

DEFENSEMEN

Torey Krug, BOS at TAM ($11,800): Krug has tallied nine points in his last seven games, giving him a career-high 57 in 72 contests. The Lightning have a 3.43 GAA since the All-Star break, and on top of that they had a 3.71 GAA in March. Tampa Bay also has the 26th-ranked penalty kill, and Krug has notched 22 points with the extra man.

Shea Theodore, VGK at VAN ($9,500): Theodore has started 55.5 percent of his shifts in the offensive zone, third highest on the Golden Knights. He's also notched seven points and 25 shots on net in his last seven contests. The Canucks have a 3.16 team GAA, which is bottom six in the NHL.
