Yahoo DFS Hockey: Saturday Picks

Yahoo DFS Hockey: Saturday Picks

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Hockey series.

GOALIE

Jake Allen, STL vs. LA ($35): In what should be a low-scoring game, Allen has a good matchup against a mediocre Kings offense. Allen, who stopped 26 of 27 shots Thursday against the Red Wings, has allowed more than two goals once in six starts, and the Blues rank second in penalty kill percentage (92.9 percent). He'll also save a few bucks off the top-priced goalies.

CENTER

Alex Galchenyuk, MON vs. TOR ($22): The only team that gives up more goals per game than the Maple Leafs is cellar-dwelling Arizona. The Canadiens, on the other hand, are first in scoring, tied with Edmonton with 3.63 goals per game. Galchenyuk, who had 56 points last season, has six points this year and should add to that total Saturday. At $22, Galchenyuk is $10 cheaper than the top-priced center, Tyler Sequin.

WING

Tomas Tatar, DET vs. BOS ($15): Tatar only has two points this season, but he has taken nearly four shots per game in his last six games. What's more, he gets a good chunk of action on the power play, too. Thursday he played near five minutes, averaging 3:19 on the man advantage this season. Boston goalie Tuukka Rask missed the last three games with an undisclosed injury, which could help Tater too. He makes for an excellent value as such a cheap price.

Filip Forsberg NAS vs. SAN ($20):
Forsberg posted assists in four of his first five games. After two scoreless games, expect him to get back on the scoreboard Saturday. He took seven shots in the last two games and played nearly 20 minutes a game, including more than three minutes on the power play.

DEFENSE

Mike Green, DET vs. BOS ($19): Green is getting a lot of ice time this season, averaging 24 minutes, including more than four minutes on the power play. With Tuuka Rask returning from a three-game absence with an undisclosed injury, Green is in position to take advantage.
