My second favorite play by position is the first guy listed in the ‘Other’ list.
Leon Draisaitl – Center – Edmonton
Draisaitl is up on the top line with Kane, which isn’t significant other than Drai and Kane will likely be remaining together now and thus for a $1500 difference Drai is the core play. One thing that Calgary struggles with is defending opposing Centers.
Other Centers:
- Boone Jenner – Columbus
- Aleksander Barkov – Panthers
- Elias Lindholm – Calgary
- John Tavares – Toronto

Mason Marchmant – Wing – Florida
Often the top winger is a priced up player, but Marchmant is at the top of the list here. He is playing really well for Florida (naturally who wouldnt with Barkov) and has 5 goals over their last 7 games. The Sabres are 32nd in the league vs RW over the past month in goals allowed.
Other Wings:
- William Nylander – Toronto
- Johnny Gaudreau – Calgary
- Jeff Skinner – Buffalo
- Patrik Laine – Columbus
- Matthew Tkachuk – Calgary

Aaron Ekblad – Defense – Florida
Yeah, one of the two games tonight with a 7 total is a logical spot for defensemen and Ekblad has been quiet too long to not expect a little law of averages PP goal today.
Other Defense:
- Zach Werenski – Columbus
- Morgan Rielly – Toronto
- Drew Doughty – LA
- Charlie McAvoy – Boston

Jake DeBrusk – Value – Boston
Those damn Bruins are finally home after six on the road including a trip vs the Kings who they see tonight in Boston. The B’s top line had a goal fest vs the Kings with DeBrusk going off for 48.5 fantasy points that game. I wouldn’t expect that as much as he is just an easy 3600 value play that we can trust to get a point or two tonight.
Other Value:
- Gustav Nyquist – Columbus
- Nicholas Robertson – Toronto
- Carter Verhaeghe – Florida
- Kailer Yamamoto – Edmonton

Semyon Varlamov – Islanders – Leverage/Contrarian
There is no easy or comfortable play in goal tonight despite what you might see in terms of favorites. I trust the Isles to keep it close with the Avs and we know Varly should see a good shot volume. He’s the best leverage play and one I am using on my main lineup.
Linus Ullmark – Boston
Spencer Knight – Florida
