Joe Veleno and J.T. Compher will be relied on heavily to fill the void left by injured Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin.
Adam Henrique, C/LW, ANA vs. OTT (39% rostered)
Henrique's four-game points streak was snapped against the Canucks but that was a tough, low-scoring game. He gets a chance to get on the score sheet against the Sens, whose goaltending situation is in flux right now as it's still uncertain who will get the start with Anton Forsberg suffering a lower-body injury and Joonas Korpisalo recovering from illness.
There's a lot of incentive for both the Ducks and Henrique to play well; he's considered one of the best remaining trade bait ahead of the trade deadline on Friday.
Shane Pinto, C, OTT at ANA (27% rostered)
He's been one of the few bright spots for the Sens and he's been excellent since returning from his 41-game suspension. He's scored six points in his past four games and averaging top-six minutes with Josh Norris injured. He's a reliable multi-category contributor playing against a team that is porous on defense.
Owen Power, D, BUF at TOR (24% rostered)
Casey Mittelstadt, C, BUF at TOR (23% rostered)
There's no question in my mind that Tage Thompson's power play unit with Rasmus Dahlin is the Sabres' top option, but it's very interesting that Don Granato seems to prefer Power's unit with Casey Mittelstadt lately. In their game against the Jets, Power had 2:24 PP TOI to Dahlin's 0:31. I think this is only temporary, but as long as Power gets minutes like a top-tier PP QB, he's going to have lots of fantasy value.
Mittelstadt has scored in spurts, so he's not always the most reliable option, but he's on a bit of a scoring binge right now with three points in three games and getting lots of good deployment on the power play with Power. He's recorded an assist in each game against the Leafs this season.
J.T. Compher, LW/RW, DET at COL (17% rostered)
Joe Veleno, C, DET at COL (1% rostered)
With Dylan Larkin on the shelf, Veleno stepped in as their No. 1 center between Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat. Playing with elite wingers will surely boost Veleno's fantasy value, but I don't think he'll skate more minutes than Compher, who automatically becomes their most reliable center.
Between the two, I lean towards Compher because he'll likely skate more minutes, but note Compher and Veleno's offensive production is pretty close at 0.70 and 0.62 expected goals per 60 minutes.
