GOALIE
Matt Murray, PIT vs. NJ ($7,800): If you can stomach the ugly .898 save percentage, Murray is unbeaten against the Devils in his career with a 5-0-1 unrecord. He was hung out to dry for five goals on national TV in his native Canada, and it's a good bet the Pens will be much better against the Devils, who have lost three straight and gone 0-4-0 on the road this season.
CENTER
Tyler Seguin, DAL at BOS ($6,900): The league's most fearless shooter going up against his former team? Yes, please. Seguin has just three goals in 13 games but he leads the league in shots and his current 4.5% shooting percentage means a regression to the norm will see him score more goals… a lot more. Seguin has five goals in 10 games against his former team.
Sidney Crosby, PIT vs. NJ ($6,700): Crosby is so competitive there's no doubt in my mind he's raging after a zero-point, minus-3 performance in a 5-0 drubbing by the Leafs, and nobody does revenge games better than him. He's scored 69 points in 66 career games against the Devils and he can eat up any center they throw at him.
WING
Brendan Gallagher, MON at NYI ($6,500): Gallagher has 13 points in 16 career games against the Islanders, and even though he's not blessed with a lot of talent he finds ways to score goals. That ability should come in handy against Barry Trotz's stingy teams, and one-one-one there's no Islander defenseman Gallagher can't beat. The Habs offense has been surprisingly effective despite a lack of high-end talent.
T.J. Oshie, WAS vs. EDM ($6,300): Oshie was minus-2 the last time the two teams met so the bar isn't high, but he's due for a strong bounce-back against a team he's scored 24 points in 29 career games. Where the Caps will do the most damage is on the power play; the Oilers' penalty kill ranks 26th at a paltry 73.2 percent and allowed the Wild to go 3-for-3 in their last game.
Clayton Keller, ARI vs. PHI ($5,500): He's on a four-game point streak and the Coyotes finally look like the Coyotes we expected them to be after pulling off a series of big moves during the last two seasons. Keller and Alex Galchenyuk look great together and Calvin Pickard (.851 SV%, 4.51 GAA) is expected to get the start. Don't sleep on the Coyotes; they've won five straight with the third-best goal differential in the West.
DEFENSE
Sami Vatanen, NJ at PIT ($5,500): He averages about two blocked shots per game so he's a pretty safe pick, but there's a bonus playing against the high-scoring Penguins, who average almost 32 shots per game. He plays more minutes than any defenseman on the team, and even though he doesn't play on the top power-play unit it shouldn't detract from his value much because the Pens are the least penalized team in the league.
Miro Heiskanen, DAL at BOS ($3,900): He continues to be a bargain at this price because of his tremendous upside, even if he's scored just once in four games. He gets the same opportunities as John Klingberg on the power play and both played 27 minutes against the Caps, but comes $1,900 cheaper. Klingberg takes more shots but so Heiskanen has the lower floor, but he could be worth the gamble.
