Goalie
Carey Price, MTL at CAR ($8,600): In three of his last four starts, Price has seen at least 30 shots, there is major upside here facing Carolina. The Hurricanes average 34.8 shots on goal, which is the second highest number in the NHL. With at least 19 points in each of his last four starts, Price is a fantastic option Wednesday.
Center
Mathew Barzal, NYI vs BUF ($5,600): Coming off a hat trick in his last game, Barzal has four goals and three assists in his last four games. The Sabres have allowed the ninth most fantasy points to centers over the last four weeks with 14 goals and 21 assists allowed over a 12-game span. He's also been a force on the top power-play unit this season with four goals and eight assists with the man advantage.
Henrik Zetterberg, DET at NJ ($5,800): Zetterberg has points in five of his last six games with a goal and seven assists over that span. He's seen at least 20 minutes of ice time in each of his last three games, offering a solid floor.
Wing
Patric Hornqvist, PIT vs CBJ ($5,700): Over his last 10 games against Columbus, Hornqvist has five goals, including two in his last three. As a force on the power play, Hornqvist is a great bet to produce in this spot.
Boone Jenner, CBJ at PIT ($4,200): With Alexander Wennberg and Cam Atkinson out with injuries, Jenner should see solid ice time in good situations, including plenty of power-play time. He has two goals and an assist in his last three games against the Penguins, and at $4,200, it won't take much for Jenner to hit value while still having solid upside.
Nikolaj Ehlers, WPG vs EDM ($5,700): Ehlers has been heating up with two goals and two assists over a four-game point streak. He also has six goals in his last nine games. Ehlers has quietly had a solid season with 17 goals and 12 assists. He's also been a force on the power play with six goals and four assists, as well.
Defense
Rasmus Ristolainen, BUF at NYI ($4,500): Over the last four weeks, the Islanders have allowed the most fantasy points to defenseman. Over that span, they've allowed 15 goals, 27 assists, 13 power play points, and 150 shots on goal. Ristolainen is in a great spot to bust out of his current slump and averaging over 25 minutes of ice time in three of his last four, so he should have plenty of opportunity.
Oliver Ekman-Larsson, ARI at COL ($5,400): The Avalanche have struggled against defensemen over the last four weeks. Over that span, they've allowed 12 goals, 18 assists, and 134 shots on goal. With just one point in his last 11 games, the ice time and opportunity has been there for OEL, as he has averaged four shots per contest over that span. He should be able to capitalize against a leaky Avalanche defense Wednesday.
