SLATE PREVIEW

The Oilers have fought back from a 3-0 deficit in the best-of-seven Stanley Cup Finals and can even it up on Friday with a win in Edmonton. Your lineup will consist of five players, including a Captain spot which scores 1.5 times as many fantasy points. You also get a $55,000 salary cap.

CAPTAIN

Connor McDavid, EDM vs. FLA ($16,000): McDavid was held to one assist over the first two games of the series, but has gone off for 10 points since to give him 42 overall during the playoffs. He's only potted three goals in the postseason, yet has also produced 22 assists across 11 home matchups.

UTILITY

Aleksander Barkov, FLA at EDM ($11,500): Barkov has struggled the last two outings as he's gone scoreless while registering a minus-4. That can mainly be ignored based on the seven goals and 14 assists he's posted those playoffs alongside 54 shots and 49 hits. Barkov has tallied four points this series and should add to that total on Friday.

Carter Verhaeghe, FLA at EDM ($11,000): Verhaeghe has also recently slumped without a point from his last four games with a minus-9 over three. He was hot earlier on with 10 goals and eight assists across the first 18 playoff outings. Look for Verhaeghe to get back on the scoresheet during Game 6.

Vladimir Tarasenko, FLA at EDM ($8,500):  Tarasenko has managed two goals and an assist in his last four outings. The veteran has been a valued member of the Panthers since arriving from Ottawa at the trade deadline. Tarasenko also produced 14 points in 19 regular-season appearances with Florida and nine overall through the playoffs.

Warren Foegele, EDM at FLA ($8,000): Foegele enjoyed his best career offensive campaign during the regular season with 41 points. He's currently riding a three-game points streak, where he's recorded a goal and two assists. Foegele has recently moved up to the top even-strength line with Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman and also participates on Edmonton's second power play.
