Budget Plays

Centers

Nick Spaling $2,700 – I almost went with the "find the cheapest player for Tampa, he's sure to get two points" strategy with this pick. Cedric Paquette is down there at $2,500 if you want to give that method a shot. Even though he burned me on Thursday can you really avoid Nick Spaling here? The Pens top six has been ravaged by injuries and Spaling is playing alongside Sidney Crosby. The Senators are the fifth worst CF% teams on the road and the seventh worst scoring team at five-on-five. The Penguins are the third best team in scoring at five-on-five. Most of those goals of course were scored by guys not currently getting top six minutes. Either way Spaling is a dirt cheap price playing at home against a team who gives up a bunch of shots and skates alongside the best player on the planet. Sounds like a good flier play to me.

Wingers

📢 advertisement:

Tomas Jurco $3,600 – Jurco has averaged 2.8 FPPG over his last 10 games. He has eight points in the last nine, and the Wings get a home game against the Rangers while avoiding Lundqvist in net. These are all positive signs for a Red Wings win. Jurco is getting third-line minutes with Riley Sheahan and Stephen Weiss but he's on the Wings top power-play unit. To top it off Jurco is currently second in the NHL at CF% at five-on-five at 61.7%. Don't be afraid to gamble with Jurco in this matchup.
