This article is part of our FantasyDraft NHL series.
GOALIE
Winnipeg Jets, WPG vs. ARI ($17,400): Let us heap praise on Connor Hellebuyck, who has a 2.30 GAA and a .925 save percentage. Conversely, let us heap scorn upon Arizona's offense, which has only averaged 2.27 goals per game. If that isn't enough to convince you that the Jets are worth effectively any price, Winnipeg is also 19-3-2 at home, while the Coyotes are terrible everywhere.
CENTER
Bo Horvat, VAN at FLA ($13,100): Since returning from injury, Horvat has two goals, two assists, and 14 shots on net in six games. Overall, he has 24 points in 34 contests, including seven with the extra man. The Panthers have allowed 35.1 shots on net per tilt, and they are currently stuck starting third-string goalie Harri Sateri (3.19 GAA, .908 save percentage) with both Roberto Luongo and James Reimer out.
Paul Stastny, STL vs. MIN ($12,000): The Wild have been weirdly lackluster on the road, as they have a woeful 3.65 team GAA away from home, and they have given up 34.3 shots on net per contest. Stastny has been hurt this year by a career-low 9.0 shooting percentage, but he has 36 points in 54 games even with shots not going his way.
WING
Sebastian Aho, CAR vs. PHI ($13,700): Aho hasn't missed a step since returning from injury, as he has three goals in four games. Overall, he's averaged 2:53 per game with the extra man, and he's tallied 10 power-play points in 49 games. That bodes well heading into this matchup, as the Flyers have the 29th-ranked penalty kill.
Artemi Panarin, CLM vs. WAS ($13,000): Panarin has started 65.7 percent of his shifts in the offensive zone, second most on the Blue Jackets and well above average for a forward. He's managed to tally 12 goals and 29 assists in 52 games despite an 8.8 shooting percentage. To put that into perspective, his career low is 14.7. Like the Wild, the Capitals have been strikingly worse on the road. Washington has a 3.65 team GAA away from home, and it has allowed 33.6 shots on net per contest.
Kyle Connor, WPG vs. ARI ($10,300): Connor's minutes have dropped a bit, but the rookie has three points in his last two games, so maybe he will earn some more playing time. Even if he doesn't, though, there's still a ton of potential in this matchup. The Coyotes have a 3.42 team GAA, which is second worst in the NHL. Plus, even when his minutes went down, Connor's power-play time stayed steady, and he's averaged 2:55 per game with the extra man.
DEFENSEMEN
Rasmus Ristolainen, BUF vs. ANA ($10,200): The Ducks are on the road for the second night of a back-to-back, and they can't get much further away from home than Buffalo. Overall, Anaheim has allowed 33.3 shots on net per tilt, and these circumstances are far from ideal. Ristolainen has 104 shots on net in 49 games, and in his last 14 outings he's tallied 11 points, including seven on the power play.
Aaron Ekblad, FLA vs. VAN ($9,500): Though Ekblad isn't shooting as often as he has in the past, he has 28 shots on net in his last eight games. That's paid off, as he has three goals (and two assists) in those contests, and he now has 10 goals for the fourth time in his four-year career. The Canucks have a 3.17 team GAA, and they also have the 26th-ranked penalty kill.
