Happy Saturday Karma Nation,
With 18 teams skating tonight, there are bound to be value players for us to take advantage of to build winning lineups. I’ve spent some time breaking down the games, and have come up with some possibilities for you.
Please come back daily to view all the new, excellent, and free content available at dfskarma.com
-Insights and player picks for tonight’s 9 game schedule-
- Biggest favorites: MON, PIT, ARI, STL
- Highest game totals: TOR@EDM, WAS@TB, VAN@SJ
- Lowest game totals: NJ@ARI, CHI@STL, PHI@MIN
Offense:
Anders Bjork BOS ($2800-DK, $3700-FD) is young and raw, but getting better everyday sharing the ice with some of the league’s most dynamic players. I like his chances to exceed value versus the Panthers’ defense that ranks 24th against wingers.

Jordan Kyrou STL ($2600-DK, $3100-FD) was recently called up from the AHL where he grabbed 15 points in 16 games. He will skate on the Blues’ top scoring and 2nd PP line against the Blackhawks’ poor 30th ranked defense.
Scott Laughton PHI ($2900-DK, $3900-FD) is half the price of his teammate Claude Giroux, but has picked up more points in the Flyers’ last seven games. The Wild have been climbing in the standings but have also been giving up many goals with their 22nd ranked defense.
Also consider: Artturi Lehkonen ($3600-DK, $4000-FD)
Defense:
Ethan Bear EDM ($3400-DK, $3500-FD) has the highest game total on the board, and Bear gets 2nd-unit power play time. Is skating home ice, and gets to face the Maple Leafs’ 27th ranked defense against opposing blueliners.
Matt Grzelcyk BOS ($3000-DK, $4100-FD) had zero fantasy points in his last start against Tampa Bay. He has only done this two other times this season, and bounced back with double-digit fantasy points both times. Great gpp play tonight.
Also consider: Brad Hunt MIN ($2700-DK, $3500-FD)
Goaltenders:
Tukka Rask BOS ($7500-DK only) has a good road match up in Florida. Please check to make sure he is starting/Halak is same price on DK so you can also play him.
Jacob Markstrom VAN ($7500-both sites) has a good road match up in San Jose. He has been confirmed for tonight, and is coming off a 43-save shutout in his last start against Carolina.
Best of luck cashing your lineups!
