Goalie

Frederik Andersen, TOR vs BUF ($8,300): Andersen has won his last two starts, while Buffalo has scored just two goals in its last four games and is 31st in the league with just 2.31 goals per game.

Center

Jeff Carter, LA vs CGY ($6,400): Carter makes the Kings a totally different team, and he's shown that with three goals and two assists, as well as 10 SOG in his last four games. The Flames have surrendered 14 goals and 23 assists to centers over their last 13 games. In his last nine games against Calgary, Carter has five goals and three assists.

Jordan Staal, CAR vs OTT ($5,200): Staal has five points in his last five games and has eight points his last eight outings against Ottawa. The Senators have allowed the sixth most fantasy points to centers over the last month.

Wing

Jeff Skinner, CAR vs OTT ($5,700): Skinner has three goals in his last two games. Ottawa has allowed the most fantasy points to left wings over the last month with 13 goals and 21 assists. Skinner has always had a solid floor with his shot volume, and the month of March could not be more telling: Over the last 12 games, the sniper has averaged 3.91 SOG per game.

Brendan Gallagher, MTL vs DET ($6,600): Gallagher has a point in three straight games with two goals and an assist. March has been a good month for Gallagher as a whole with seven goals and three assists in 13 games. Gallagher averages 7.24 high-danger scoring chances per 60 minutes, which is the third best mark in the league.

William Nylander, TOR vs BUF ($5,700): The young Swede has three goals in his last four games and is reunited with Auston Matthews and Zach Hyman. Buffalo has been very giving defensively, allowing 16 goals in its last four games.

Defense

Drew Doughty, LA vs CGY ($5,800): Doughty is still underpriced, as he's posted 11 points in his last nine games. The blueliner has a point in each of his last three games against the Flames, who have allowed 33 points to defensemen over the last 13 games.

Jaccob Slavin, CAR vs OTT ($4,600): Ottawa has allowed the sixth most fantasy points to defensemen this season, and Slavin comes in in good form. With two goals and five assists in his last five games, the 23-year-old is up to 28 points, and if Justin Faulk is out again, look for Slavin to see 26 minutes or more of ice time as he did in Faulk's absence Saturday.
