Key Skaters

C Steven Stamkos (TB)

The Lightning has won back-to-back games after a rocky start but that start is not due to the performance of captain Steven Stamkos. Stammer has seven goals in his first six games and is coming off his first game without lighting the lamp. Los Angeles has been allowing a lot of fantasy production to the center position and Stamkos, who has four or more shots in all but one game will look to get back on the scoresheet in this matchup.

W Kirill Kaprizov (MIN)

With eight points (four goals) in his first five games, Kaprizov has picked up where he left off last season and will look to continue his strong play in a road matchup against the Canadiens. Montreal has been a solid 3-1-0 on home ice to this point and has been very disciplined early on. Minnesota has been strong offensively led by Kaprizov with 3.8 goals per game and boasts the second-best power-play in the league.

Top Positional Plays

Center

Jack Eichel (VGK)

As the Golden Knights sit at 4-2-0 they’ll travel to San Jose to take on the 2-6-0 Sharks who are 0-3-0 at home and are embarking on what looks to be a tough season. Eichel has seven points (three goals) in six games and has double-digit fantasy points in three of his last four games. Eichel is too cheap at $5,900 and should be pretty popular in DFS.

Value: Chandler Stephenson (VGK)

Winger

Matthew Tkachuk (FLA)

The Panthers made a big trade for Tkachuk in the offseason and it’s paying off as the power-forward has eight points in his first six games. Tkachuk is an aggressive player with four of more shots in all six games this season nd will bring that play into a matchup with the Blackhawks’ softer defense.

Value: Matt Boldy (MIN)

Defenseman

Shayne Gostisbehere (ARI)

Coyotes defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere has found a home in Arizona after bursting onto the scene early in his career with the Flyers but his offensive talent is coming out early this season. Ghost has two goals and three assists with four or more shots in four games. Columbus has allowed a lot of production to defensemen to this points and Ghost is reasonably priced.

Value: Mikhail Sergachev (TB)

Favorite Line Stacks

Minnesota Wild

Joel Eriksson Ek, Kirill Kaprizov, Mats Zuccarello, Matt Boldy

Florida Panthers

Aleksander Barkov, Matthew Tkachuk, Carter Verhaeghe, Patric Hornqvist

Others: 

Tampa Bay Lightning: Brayden Point, Steven Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov, Victor Hedman

Vegas Golden Knights: Jack Eichel, Mark Stone, Chandler Stephenson, Alex Pietrangelo

Goalies

Marc-Andre Fleury (MIN)

To this point Fleury has been brutal outside of his last start, a 39-save overtime loss to the Bruins in Boston. Traveling to Montreal, Fleury’s fortune should change as he looks for a road victory.

Adin Hill (VGK)

Hill has been solid for Vegas going 2-0 with a .934 save percentage and looks good as a solid floor option tonight in a game that Vegas should win easily.

Others:

Ville Husso (DET)

Sergei Bobrovsky (FLA)
