Goalie
Tuukka Rask, BOS vs ARI ($7,900): Coming off two good starts and a solid appearance in relief on Monday, Rask is starting to look like the top goaltender that we've all become used to seeing. In a home matchup against the Coyotes, Rask is a heavy favorite and should be a popular play in most contests Thursday.
Center
Vincent Trocheck, FLA vs WPG ($5,900): Trocheck continues to be severely underpriced in good matchups. In his last two games, he has four assists while firing 14 shots on goal. Overall, Trocheck has 10 goals and 17 assists this season with three of those goals and five assists coming on the power play.
Brayden Point, TB vs COL ($5,200): In two games since centering a line with Nikita Kucherov on his wing, Point has scored in both contests with one goal and one assist. Skating with Kucherov on one wing and familiar linemate Ondrej Palat on the other, Point is in a great positive to produce. The Lightning are one of the best teams at home and are in a good spot to do damage against the visiting Avalanche.
Wing
Josh Bailey, NYI at PIT ($5,400): Bailey continues to outperform his salary with points in three of his last five games. The Islanders visit the Penguins in what promises to be a high scoring affair. With Bailey skating on one of the more productive lines alongside John Tavares and Anders Lee, he's having one of the best seasons of his career.
Timo Meier, SJ vs CAR ($3,300): With Meier scoring a goal in his last game, I'm going back to the well with him Thursday. Still skating on the first line with Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski, Meier has looked comfortable fitting in with the two regular top-line skaters. He won't need to do much at this price to hit value and has some upside seeing time on the power play.
Nikolaj Ehlers, WPG at FLA ($5,700): Ehlers had recorded points in six of eight games before going scoreless in his last two contests. Skating on the second line and second power-play unit, Ehlers is lined up in a good matchup against the Panthers. He has 11 goals and 10 assists on the year with seven points coming on the power play.
Defense
Shea Weber, MTL vs CGY ($5,400): Weber is the ninth highest-priced defenseman Thursday, setting him up as a potential bargain. With two goals and an assist in his last two games, Weber gets a matchup with the Flames, who are playing their second game in as many nights.
Charlie McAvoy, BOS vs ARI ($4,600): The young defenseman has been hot lately. He has points in four of his last five games with two goals and three assists over that span. Facing a Coyotes team that has given up a ton of production to defensemen, McAvoy is a good value for a Bruins team that's played well at home.
