FanDuel NHL: Wednesday Value Plays

FanDuel NHL: Wednesday Value Plays

This article is part of our FanDuel NHL series.

Goalie

Frederik Andersen, TOR vs OTT ($8,400): Andersen has looked rock solid of late with an average of 23.2 FanDuel points over his last four games. He's 22-12-2 this season with a 2.65 GAA and a .922 save percentage. Andersen has flashed some big-time upside with three shutouts on the season, as well. The Senators come in with just a 5-10-4 on the road while the Maple Leafs are 13-6-1 at home.

Center

Tyler Bozak, TOR vs OTT ($4,400): Bozak has points in back-to-back games and is in a good spot to produce Wednesday. The Senators have allowed the fifth most fantasy points to centers over the last four weeks, surrendering 17 goals and 13 assists over that span. Bozak has four points in his last seven games against Ottawa, which was throttled 8-2 by Chicago on Wednesday.

Nick Schmaltz, CHI vs MIN ($5,200): The Blackhawks went nuts last night, scoring eight goals against Ottawa. Schmaltz was right in the middle of the onslaught and has points in six of his last seven games with six goals and five assists over that span. He's also found twine in four straight.

Wing

William Nylander, TOR vs OTT ($5,900): Nylander has gotten his game in line after an early-season slump and has four goals and six assists over his last 10 games. Nylander has really performed well in his young career against Ottawa with eight points in seven games.

Patrick Sharp, CHI vs MIN ($4,100): Sharp has been a true scorer throughout his career and had his best seasons in Chicago. Over his last four games, Sharp has three goals and an assist. He gets a slight bump in upside seeing time on the power play even if he doesn't see a ton of ice overall.

Bobby Ryan, OTT at TOR ($5,400): Ryan has seven points in his last nine games against the Maple Leafs and points in back-to-back contests. Penciled in on a line with Matt Duchene and Mike Hoffman, Ryan and the Sens will look to bounce back from their poor effort Wednesday against Chicago. Ryan sees time on the power play and has received more than 15 minutes of ice time in five of his last seven games.

Defense

Jordan Oesterle, CHI vs MIN ($4,000): Oesterle burst onto the scene for the Blackhawks and has performed well, so much so that Brent Seabrook was a healthy scratch Wednesday. Oesterle has points in five of his last six games, including three goals and four assists over that span. He's seen at least 23 minutes of ice time in each of those last five games.

Morgan Rielly, TOR vs OTT ($5,200): Rielly has been an offensive force with points in eight of his last 10 games. On the season he has 30 points in 44 games and is averaging 2.45 shots on goal per game. The Senators have given up seven goals and 19 assists in their last 11 games to defensemen. Look for Rielly on the top pairing and top power-play unit, where he's recorded 12 PPP's this year.
