Vegas winger takes on old team

While priced excessively on DraftKings where he is $6,200, FanDuel on the other hand, as has been the case countless times this season, refuses to do anything about Brandon Pirri's price. Imagine fading Kyle Connor at $4,600 on FanDuel last night. Anyway, as for Pirri, all he has done is produce with 11 points in nine games. So long as he doesn't get sent down to the minors before face off, Pirri is your top value option in all formats on FanDuel.

This line will see plenty of high danger scoring chances

Jonathan Marchessault has been kind of quiet lately, but not from a lack of shooting. This Vegas winger has piled up 19 shots on goal in the past five games. Marchessault, Max Pacioretty and William Karlsson draw a great matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks, who continue to struggle defensively and give up the most HDCA/60 in the league at 13.75. If pairing a defenseman with this stack, look to Shea Theodore as he is offensive minded, and correlates on the power-play, along with Karlsson and Marchessault.

*Update Brandon Pirri has taken Pacioretty’s spot on the top line

This player is back from the minors and looks to continue his hot streak.

With six goals and nine points in seven NHL games this season, there was outrage when Brandon Pirri was sent back down to the AHL. However, it was short-lived as he's back up in the Vegas Golden Knights lineup and playing on the second line with Paul Stastny and Alex Tuch. Both Stastny and Tuch have been playing solid as of late with both of them picking up 8 points over their last 10 games. The New York Rangers have struggled as of late with an NHL-worst 42.72 CF% over their last 10 games.

This winger is an automatic play in cash games

While priced accordingly and excessively on DraftKings ($6,100), Brandon Pirri is just $4,000 on FanDuel, finally making the one week leap from the comical $3,300 price. Nonetheless, $4,000 is still a joke of a price tag given his shot-making prowess. Furthermore, Pirri has five goals and two assists in six games since his call-up as he is shining alongside veteran Paul Stastny. If you are playing cash games on FanDuel, don't make the mistake of passing on Pirri. Regardless, he is a worthwhile tournament play even at the elevated DraftKings price tag given it is just a two game slate.
