Goalie
Kari Lehtonen, DAL at ARI ($7,700): In a good matchup against the Coyotes, the Stars are pretty heavy favorites in a game in which they should be able to take care of business. Arizona is ranked 30th in the league in goals per game and will have a tough time against one of the better defensive teams in the league.
Center
Jordan Staal, CAR vs MTL ($5,400): Skating on the first line and top power-play unit, Staal presents as a good value when the Hurricanes host the Canadiens. Montreal has struggled of late at defending centers, allowing the sixth most fantasy points to the position over the last four weeks. Carolina is fourth in the NHL with 34.3 shots on goal per game suggesting that their should be plenty of opportunities for Staal to get on the scoresheet on Thursday.
Adam Henrique, ANH at OTT ($5,300): Henrique, who started the season with the Devils is red-hot scoring five goals over his last six games. Ottawa is allowing the second most goals per game (3.40) and have allowed the second most fantasy points (14 goals, 24 assists) over the last month to centers.
Wing
Jonathan Huberdeau, FLA at BUF ($6,800): Huberdeau has recorded points in nine of his last 10 games. Buffalo's 3.30 team GAA is third worst in the league, while the Quebec native has recorded at least a point in five of his last six against Buffalo totaling five goals and six assists over that span.
Jeff Skinner, CAR vs MTL ($5,700): It's hard to believe that Skinner is playing in his eighth NHL season and is still just 25. The Ontario native has always been a high-volume shooter, and that is no different this season, as he's averaging 3.60 shots on goal per game (sixth most among wingers). He also has eight points in his last eight games against Montreal.
Matthew Tkachuk, CGY vs TB ($6,600): Skating on the second line, the youngster has seven goals in his last eight games while averaging 2.5 shots on net. The Lightning have allowed the second most fantasy points to left wings over the last month with 14 goals and 10 assists over an 11-game span.
Defense
Cam Fowler, ANH at OTT ($5,300): The offensive-minded Fowler has four assists in his last three games and draws a great matchup against Ottawa on Thursday. The Senators have allowed eight goals and 24 assists to defensemen over their last 10 games, contributing to the second most fantasy points allowed to the position over the last month.
Jake Gardiner, TOR at NYR ($4,100): Featured in Wednesday's article, Gardiner's point streak is now up to six games. That trend could easily continue Thursday against the Rangers, who have allowed the third most fantasy points to defensemen over the last four weeks.
