Rookie defenseman draws dream matchup

Miro Heiskanen is not someone that has been mentioned in a while, but here we are in a pristine matchup on home ice against the Chicago Blackhawks. Heiskanen is a talented defenseman who sees power play time, and recently he has been moved to the top pairing alongside John Klingberg, taking on more of an offensive role rather than on the second pairing with Roman Polak. Targeting defenseman (and anyone for that matter) against Chicago produces results more often than not, and Heiskanen checks in around $4,000 on DraftKings and FanDuel which make him a worthy tournament target. Even pairing him with John Klingberg, the top defenseman available on tonight's slate, makes for an intriguing, unique build in Dallas stacks.

Rookie blue liner scored two goals last night

The matchup tonight is a far cry from what it was last night at home against Ottawa, but Heiskanen's price is reasonable across the industry. On DraftKings, Heiskanen checks in at just $3,400 which is far too low for a rookie with his skill set. Dallas has been quite poor on the road, but Miro doesn't need to do much at his salary to make it worthwhile. Heiskanen is averaging over two shots on goal per game and figures to be utilized more often while Klingberg is on the shelf, though that has not been the case yet. Perhaps last night's eruption is a sign of things to come.
