Top options for Tuesday include Avalanche left winger Artturi Lehkonen and the return of Lightning bruiser Tanner Jeannot.
Brayden Schenn, C/LW, STL at TOR (47% rostered)
Jake Neighbours, LW/RW, STL at TOR (14% rostered)
Schenn and Neighbours' line with Kasperi Kapanen has emerged as arguably the Blues' best line. Schenn has scored nine points in his past nine games while Neighbours has scored three goals in two games while playing PP1.
Ilya Samsonov has been a feel-good story since returning from his minor-league assignment, but there's still some doubt. The Blues are on a roll and in the midst of the playoff race.
Mason Marchment, LW, DAL vs. CAR (37% rostered)
Marchment's points streak is now at six games and there's always the potential the Canes' goaltending implodes. This is not an easy matchup, but the Stars have home-ice advantage, meaning Marchment's line with Tyler Seguin and Matt Duchene should see optimal matchups.
Pierre-Luc Dubois, C/LW, LA at BUF (36% rostered)
I get the sense the Kings are turning a corner after an awful losing streak that cost Todd McLellan his job, and part of that turnaround is Dubois' play. When he's on his game, he's a game changer, and hopefully his goal in a 4-0 win against the Oilers is the start of something good.
Artturi Lehkonen, LW, COL at WSH (31% rostered)
Lehkonen gets L1 assignment with Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen and there's no better position to be in for an Av. While Lehkonen's production hasn't really come along since returning from injury, this deployment should give him a boost against a team that's mired in a slump and doesn't defend particularly well.
Cam Fowler, D, ANA at MTL (29% rostered)
Ryan Strome, LW/RW, ANA at MTL (7% rostered)
I like Fowler and Strome in this matchup because the Habs' PK has been among the league's worst. Both play PP1 with Fowler coming off a two-point game and Strome has scored three goals in his past three games.
Juraj Slafkovsky, LW, MTL vs. ANA (25% rostered)
Slafkovsky has been on fire and an assist against the Blues stretched his points streak to five games. The Habs should have no problems generating offense against the Ducks, putting Slafkovsky in a very good position to extend his streak as long as he continues to play with Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki.
Tanner Jeannot, LW/RW, TB at BOS (14% rostered)
Anthony Cirelli, C, TB at BOS (5% rostered)
Jeannot is expected to return to the lineup and this being such a rivalry matchup, he's a great option if you need hits. The Lightning are thin on offensive depth, but that's good for Jeannot because that means he's expected to play PP2 with some added fantasy value.
I'm generally not a fan of Cirelli in fantasy because he can score so infrequently, and he tops the list of players who are much better in real life. However, note he's scored seven points in his past six games and consistently gets top-six minutes.
