Yahoo DFS Hockey: Saturday Values

Updated on December 10, 2016 12:29PM EST

GOALIE

Roberto Luongo, FLA vs. VAN ($32): Luongo's rough patch has dropped his price, which makes him a good value Saturday in an enticing matchup against his former team. The Canucks struggle to score, ranking 26th in goals scored and 26th in power-play percentage while averaging just 2.3 goals per game.

CENTER

Sean Monahan, CGY vs. WPG ($15): Monahan has an excellent matchup Saturday against a Jets team that is 24th in save percentage, 25th on penalty kill and allows 3.13 goals per game on the road. Monahan, who plays on the No. 1 power-play unit, is heating up too, scoring eight points in the last six games.

WING

Jonathan Drouin, TAM vs. PIT ($15): Drouin has 56 shots in 20 games but is converting just 7.1 percent -- 341st in the league -- an unsustainable rate that should turn at some point. That point could come Saturday against a weak Penguins defense. Pittsburgh is 26th in goals allowed, 28th on the penalty kill and 29th in shots allowed.

Viktor Arvidsson, NAS at ARI ($17): Arvidsson has a good matchup against a Coyotes team that struggles defensively. Arizona allows a league-high 35.1 shots per game while Arvidsson ranks 13th in league with 85 shots this season. Arvidsson, who has five goals and four assists in his last 14 games, is in the midst of a breakout season, already matching his points (16) from last season.

DEFENSEMEN

Victor Hedman, TAM vs. PIT ($23): Hedman is in position to take advantage of Pittsburgh poor penalty kill (28th in the league) as he averages nearly three minutes on the power play. Hedman has five goals this season and his 14 assists, eight of which have come on the power play, rank seventh among defensemen.

Roman Josi, NAS at ARI ($24): Like Viktor Arvidsson, Josi is in a good spot to take advantage of Arizona's weak defense. The Coyotes allow the second-most goals in the league at 3.12 and ranks 22nd in the penalty kill. Josi is strong among multiple categories and averages 25 minutes of ice time, including 3:21 on the power play.
