FanDuel NHL: Wednesday Value Plays

FanDuel NHL: Wednesday Value Plays

This article is part of our FanDuel NHL series.

Goalie

Pekka Rinne, NSH at TOR ($8,800): Rinne has won his last eight starts, despite allowing four goals in his last game against the Islanders. His 27 wins are third in the league and his five shutouts are second. The 35-year-old is a major factor why the Predators have the fourth-best team GAA of 2.49.

Center

Kyle Turris, NSH at TOR ($5,100): Nashville's second-line center has just one point since Jan. 30 but could get back on track Wednesday. The Maple Leafs have allowed 13 goals and 16 assists over their last 11 games to centers. Turris has 21 points — 10 goals — in 26 career games against the Maple Leafs.

David Krejci, BOS at NYR ($5,800): The Rangers have been a complete disaster of late. They've lost their last three games, have allowed 16 goals in their last four, and allowed an average of 32 shots on goal over their last six. The Blueshirts have been especially victimized by the center position, allowing 17 goals and 24 assists to them over their last 11 games.

Wing

Danton Heinen, BOS at NYR ($4,600): Heinen will likely slide back down to the second line with Brad Marchand expected to return from his five-game suspension. Nevertheless, Heinen has a goal and three assists over his last two games while skating on the top line with Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak. The British Columbia native has impressed in his rookie campaign with 12 goals and 25 assists in 47 games.

Kevin Fiala, NSH at TOR ($5,000): Fiala has two goals in each of his last two games. Over a larger sample size, the left winger has at least one point in six of his last nine contests with a total of 27 shots on goal over that span. Priced as the 19th-highest winger, Fiala's value is hard to pass up considering his recent form.

Tyler Toffoli, LA vs EDM ($5,600): Against the Oilers, Toffoli has five goals and 17 assists in 18 career games. On the campaign, the 25-year-old has 18 goals, five of which have come on the power play, and is averaging over three shots on goal per game. Cam Talbot — who has a putrid .902 save percentage and has allowed five goals in each of his last two games against the Kings — will likely be in net.

Defense

Charlie McAvoy, BOS at NYR ($4,300): In 47 games, McAvoy has five goals and 20 assists while averaging 22:11 of ice time. This matchup against the Rangers is as juicy as it gets for defensemen. Over the last month — an 11-game span — they've allowed eight goals and 29 assists to blueliners. That's the most in the league.

Jake Muzzin, LA vs EDM ($4,900): The Ontario native is on quite a roll with a point in nine of his last 10 games, with three goals and eight assists. On the campaign, Muzzin has six goals, four of which have come with the man advantage, 26 assists, 22:34 of average ice time and 2:11 of power-play time. Muzzin sees a bump in upside skating on the top power-play unit against Edmonton's league-worst penalty kill.
