Cam Fowler, D, Anaheim Ducks
DraftKings Value price: $4,700
Fowler has one point in his past three games, but has more than four DraftKings points in three straight. That's a credit to his shots on goal and shot blocking. Fowler averages 2.5 DraftKings points per contest and has three games with three-plus shots blocked and three-plus SOG in his past nine. He had four SOG and four blocks against the Edmonton Oilers on Monday that was good for 4.0 DraftKings points, making for a good night although he didn't score. Fowler has 107 SOG and 103 blocked shots with four goals and 23 points in 64 games this season, so he can score. Playing the Stars, a team which ranks toward the bottom of the League in goals allowed per game, should also help.
Matt Murray, G, Pittsburgh Penguins
DraftKings price: $6,800
Murray is the biggest bargain of the day. He likely will make his second straight start after a 25-save shutout against the Islanders on Saturday. Murray is 6-2-1 with a 1.86 GAA and .933 SV% this season and will be the workhorse while Marc-Andre Fleury remains out with a concussion. Murray had 9.8 DraftKings points Saturday and averages 5.6 points per game. If you take out his first NHL appearance, when he had 2.8 points, the average balloons to almost six points per game (5.95). Murray has won four straight and is priced well below teammate Jeff Zatkoff ($7,600). He's also closer to the floor price for goalies ($6,000) than he is to the highest-price goalie (Brian Elliott, St. Louis Blues; $8,600). The Penguins are 11-1-0 in their past 12 games and have defeated the Philadelphia Flyers, their opponent Sunday, twice this season, which is good news for Murray.
