FanDuel NHL: Monday Value Plays

FanDuel NHL: Monday Value Plays

This article is part of our FanDuel NHL series.

Goalie

Petr Mrazek, PHI at MON ($7,900): The 26-year-old has made two starts since being traded to the Flyers and has won both. Finally getting his shot at being a legitimate starting goaltender, Mrazek draws a matchup against the Canadiens, who are just 3-4-3 in their last 10 outings. On the campaign, the Canadiens are averaging 2.54 GPG which is 28th in the NHL.

Center

Jeff Carter, LA vs VGK ($6,000): Carter made his return on Saturday after being out since Oct. 18 due to injury. Carter is a natural goal scorer and a high-volume shooter as he's averaged 3.04 shots on goal per game over his 13-year career. Vegas has allowed 11 goals and 23 assists to centers along with 101 shots on goal over its last 13 outings. The London, Ontario native is the 12th-highest priced center and has not been price at $6,000 since Nov. 8, 2016.

Nazem Kadri, TOR at TB ($6,500): The second-liner has buried five goals, dished out four assists, and fired 18 shots on goal over his last six games. The Lightning have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to centers over their last four weeks, and Kadri should continue to play a more prominent role with Auston Matthews on injured reserve.

Wing

Tyler Toffoli, LA vs VGK ($6,100): The sniping winger may only have a goal and an assist over his last six games, but over that span he's averaged 3.23 shots on net. Jeff Carter being back in action centering the second line with Toffoli and Tanner Pearson should boost the production of all parties involved, giving the Kings a potent second unit.

Gabriel Landeskog, COL vs VAN ($6,200): The captain of the Avalanche has performed well against the Canucks with three goals and three assists in his last four games against them. Heading into Sunday, the Canucks had allowed 14 goals and nine assists to left wingers over their 12 previous contests. The Canucks will be playing their third game in four nights on Monday, also.

Alex Killorn, TB vs TOR ($5,100): The Lightning have a plethora of weapons at their disposal, as they're first in the NHL with a staggering 3.55 goals per game. Killorn has scored six of his 11 goals over the last four weeks of action and is seeing prominent ice time on a newly formed second line alongside Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov.

Defense

Matt Niskanen, WAS at CBJ ($4,200): In his last five outings, Niskanen has four points and 11 shots on goal. Against the Blue Jackets, the veteran blueliner has recorded nine points and fired 27 shots on goal in his last 12 games against them.

Dion Phaneuf, LA vs VGK ($4,900): In his six outings since moving to L.A., Phaneuf has recorded three goals, 13 shots and 12 blocks. The Golden Knights have allowed the third-most fantasy points to defensemen over the last four weeks, giving Phaneuf a chance to continue to produce.
