FanDuel NHL: Tuesday Value Plays

FanDuel NHL: Tuesday Value Plays

This article is part of our FanDuel NHL series.

Goalie

Marc-Andre Fleury, VGK vs NSH ($7,900): Fleury is 7-1-0 with a 1.96 GAA and .938 save percentage. Vegas is 16-2-1 at home this season and have been great of late, winning seven games in a row. Expect Fleury to see at least 30 shots and offer a solid floor with some upside Tuesday.

Center

Sean Couturier, PHI vs PIT ($6,600): Couturier has been playing well with three goals and three assists in his last four games. He has 19 shots on goal over his last five contests and has two goals in his last three against the Penguins. Overall he has 18 goals and 18 assists on the season with six points on the power play. With 16 players at the position holding higher price tags than Couturier, it's hard to ignore him in this spot.

Bryan Little, WPG at COL ($5,000): With Little still skating on the second line, he's produced two goals and three assists in his last six games. The Avalanche have allowed nine goals and 30 assists over the last four weeks to centers, contributing to the fifth-most fantasy points allowed to the position over that span.

Wing

Kyle Connor, WPG at COL ($4,200): Connor has goals in three straight games and overall three goals and three assists over his last four. He's on the first line with Blake Wheeler and Patrik Laine and sees power-play time on the top unit. He should be a popular play in a potentially high-scoring game.

Jakob Silfverberg, ANH at VAN ($5,300): Silfverberg has been steady after a slow start at the beginning of the season. He has points in four straight with one goal and four assists over that span, and had two goals in his lone game against Vancouver this season. The Canucks have allowed 11 goals and 23 assists over their last 12 games to right wings. Silfverberg skates on the top power-play unit and the Canucks have the 28th-ranked penalty kill.

Tyler Johnson, TB at TOR ($5,700): Johnson has recorded points in 12 of his last 13 games. Over that span, he has eight goals and 10 assists and has seen at least 17 minutes of ice time in all but two contests.

Defense

Jacob Trouba, WPG at COL ($4,600): The Avalanche have allowed 12 goals and 20 assists to defensemen in their last 13 games, which equates to the second most production to the position in the league. The ice time has been there over his last five games, as he's seen at least 24 minutes in each contest while averaging over three minutes with the man advantage.

Cam Fowler, ANH at VAN ($5,100): Fowler has three goals in his last four games and is in a great spot to produce in Vancouver. The Canucks have been allowing a ton of production to defensemen over their last 12 games (11 goals, 16 assists).
