VALUE DEFENSEMAN: Morgan Rielly, TOR ($4,300)
Rielly has six goals on 150 SOG this season (4.0 percent), but three have come on 17 SOG in his past five games. He also has an assist and 10 blocks in those five games for an average of 4.9 DraftKings points per game (season average: 2.8). Rielly's major minutes (22:17) are finally translating to fantasy relevance, so don't hesitate to employ him since his poor plus/minus can't hurt you in DraftKings.
GOALIE SPOTLIGHT: Jonathan Bernier, ANA ($7,900)
Bernier has been outstanding in the absence of John Gibson (lower body), who has been limited to one game in the past month. Bernier is 7-2-1 with a .943 SV% and one shutout in the span, and has been stellar this season at home (8-1-2, .935 SV%), where he faces the Edmonton Oilers. He's much cheaper than the other potential home starters on this slate (Raanta: $8,400; Sergei Bobrovsky: $8,300), so ride the hot hand in what could be a low-scoring game against Cam Talbot (.930 SV% in past 10).
