GOALIES

Reto Berra - Colorado Avalanche @ TOR *CONFIRMED*
DraftKings - $6,800 FanDuel - $8,500 DraftPot - 6.70 DPPG
Sits right near the top of our projections for Tuesday in a matchup on the road in Toronto vs. the Leafs. Berra has been incredible to start the year with a .953 save% and has only allowed more than 2 goals once in his first 8 starts. He hasn't been as lucky in the win department going 4-3, but should be in line for a win on Tuesday.

Pekka Rinne - Nashville Predators vs. ANH *PROBABLE*
DraftKings - $8,100 FanDuel - $9,100 DraftPot - 4.30 DPPG
It has been a wonderful start to the year for both Rinne and the Preds. The team is 10-3-3 with a +12 goal differential and they are 6-1-2 at home in 2015/16. Rinne, himself, is 9-2 on the year with a .918 save % and 2 shutouts. The Ducks come to town on Tuesday night and they are playing in a back to back game on the road. It's a favorable matchup for Rinne and the Preds as they are the biggest favorites on the board on Tuesday night.

Also Consider - Tukka Rask - Boston Bruins

CENTER

Tyler Seguin - Dallas Stars @ BUF
DraftKings - $9,000 FanDuel - $8,800 DraftPot - 5.23 DPPG
He sits 2nd in the DraftKings and 1st in the FanDuel projections and enters a positive matchup on paper vs. BUF allowing 2.7 goals per game(20th). He has 26 points on the year and is 3rd in the league averaging 24.6 CF/60. The Stars top line of Seguin, Benn, and Sharp make a great tournament stacking option and one or two should be in your cash lineups on Tuesday.

Adam Henrique - New Jersey Devils @ CGY
DraftKings - $4,700 FanDuel - $4,200 DraftPot - 3.95 DPPG
He is a great salary relief option on Tuesday as the Devils travel to Calgary to face the Flames. Henrique has 14 points on the year with a +8 rating. He is more of a GPP play as his production is very streaky. He has 5 points in his last 4 games and this is a great time to jump on board.

Also Consider Patrice Bergeron - Boston Bruins

WINGERS

James Neal - Nashville Predators vs. ANH
DraftKings - $6,400 FanDuel(RW) - $6,400 DraftPot - 5.08 DPPG
He is a great cash game play and great value around the industry. His floor is high averaging almost 4 shots on goal per game and is in the top 10 in CF/60(21.6). The Preds are ranked 7th in league scoring and are at home tonight vs. the Ducks.

Matt Duchene - Colorado Avalanche @ TOR
DraftKings(C) - $5,400 FanDuel(RW) - $8,200 DraftPot - 5.08 DPPG
He has been absolutely tearing it up lately with 3 straight multi point games and has 12 points in his last 7 games. The Avs have won 3 straight games and enter another favorable matchup in Toronto Tuesday night as the Leafs rank 21st in goals against on the year.

Patrick Sharp - Dallas Stars @ BUF
DraftKings - $6,200 FanDuel(RW) - $7,200 DraftPot - 4.38 DPPG
Great price for a player on the top producing line(Sharp, Benn, Seguin) in the NHL. Sharp has been red hot lately with a 5 game point streak and he has points in 9 of his last 10 games. His floor will remain high as he is averaging 18.5 CF/60(24th in NHL) and is sitting with a nice 12.7 shooting percentage.

Also Consider - Melker Karlsson - San Jose Sharks

DEFENSE

Roman Josi - Nashville Predators vs. ANH
DraftKings - $6,400 FanDuel - $6,500 DraftPot - 3.80 DPPG
If I am paying up for a D man, Josi is always at the top of my list when the Preds are playing. He is safe option on DraftKings & DraftPot where blocked shots are counted. He averages 13.1 CF/60 and has got 18 of those attempts on goal in the last 5 games. Makes a terrific balanced cash game lineup pick for tonight.

Kris Russell - Calgary Flames vs. NJ
DraftKings - $4,500 FanDuel - $5,200 DraftPot - 1.78 DPPG
Another great cash game play on DraftKings & DraftPot at a terrific price point. He offers a high floor as the NHL leader in blocked shots with nearly 4 per game. His offensive upside is capped with only 3 points on the year and awful -11 rating. Do not use on FanDuel.

Also Consider - Alex Pietrangelo - St. Louis Blues
