Here is a look at the Squad Up daily NHL fantasy picture for Wednesday, November 30 (all advanced stats courtesy of Corsica.Hockey):

Triple Threat

• C Mitchell Marner (42K), LW James van Riemsdyk (48K), D Morgan Rielly (25K), Maple Leafs (at Flames): Toronto is on the second game of a back-to-back, coming off a 4-2 win in Edmonton. The Leafs generate a league-best 12.15 SCF60 (scoring chances for per 60 minutes) at 5v5. Rielly is on the same power-play unit as Marner and van Riemsdyk.

• C Sidney Crosby (76K), LW Conor Sheary (33K), D Kris Letang (47K), Penguins (at Islanders): Crosby has loved playing against the Islanders. His 31 goals and 67 assists in just 56 games against the Isles are his most against any one team. New York's roster outside of C John Tavares might be the worst in the NHL.

• C Jeff Carter (65K), LW Tanner Pearson (47K), D Drew Doughty (41K), Kings (vs. Sharks): Carter has been rolling lately. In his last 12 games he has eight goals and six assists while taking 43 shots. Doughty is riding a four-game point streak. Pearson can compile fantasy points in many ways. The matchup is tough, so limit this stack to tournament play.

Bargain Plays

• C Zach Hyman (25K), Maple Leafs (at Flames): Four of Hyman's seven points have come in his last three games. He's lucky enough to skate on a line with Auston Matthews. The reigning No. 1 pick is a big reason why Hyman ranks 14th in the NHL in iSCF60 (individual scoring chances for per 60 minutes).

• LW Matthew Tkachuk (27K), Flames (vs. Maple Leafs): Calgary's offense has been in shambles lately, but the Leafs allow the second-most SCA60 (scoring chances against per 60 minutes) at 5v5. They could rest the red-hot Frederik Andersen in favor of Jhonas Enroth on the second night of a back-to-back. Tkachuk can score, hit and take penalties.

• D Morgan Rielly (25K), Maple Leafs (at Flames): Rielly has been seeing more time with the man advantage lately. He has just two power-play points on the season, but the Flames have allowed a league-high 22 power-play goals this year. Rielly is averaging more than 0.5 points per game for the first time in his career, yet his price is as low as it gets.

Top Fades

• C Sean Monahan (45K), Flames (vs. Maple Leafs): Monahan's price is extremely low for a player of his caliber, but it's well deserved. In his last five games he has just one point and is averaging only 14:45 of ice time. He is skating on the third line with grinders rather than in the top six with skilled players. He'll have a tough time returning value, even against Toronto's D.

• RW Kris Versteeg (36K), Flames (vs. Maple Leafs): Versteeg has played in 15 games this year and has recorded just two goals and four assists on only 16 shots. He is only averaging 12:35 of ice time. Frankly, this type of production can be found at the minimum 25K. There's no point in wasting 11K off your budget.

• G Brian Elliott (94K), Flames (vs. Maple Leafs): Chad Johnson isn't listed in Squad Up, but Elliott is. If Elliott gets the start it's best to steer clear of him and his high salary. He is winless with an .869 SV% in his last six games. In addition to Toronto's league-leading SCF60, it also leads the NHL in xGF60 (expected goals for per 60 minutes).

Contrarian Options

• G Martin Jones (75K), Sharks (at Kings): Squad Up has Jones at the minimum price and listed as "out," yet there has been no official indication that he will miss Wednesday's game. He did start Tuesday's game and hasn't played in a back-to-back yet this season, but if he does get the call on Wednesday, his salary is too affordable to pass up.

• C Anze Kopitar (65K), Kings (vs. Sharks): Most people seeking a Kings center will turn to the red-hot Carter, leaving Kopitar with little ownership. Kopitar has struggled out of the gate, but his 4.9 shooting percentage is bound to progress. He could have his first multi-point game of the season if San Jose does in fact rest Jones.

• D Mark Giordano (48K), Flames (vs. Maple Leafs): Giordano scored 21 goals last season, but has just one this year. He has 56 shots on goal (1.8 S%) and is bound to start finding the back of the net. It could happen on Wednesday against the defensively inept Leafs, who own the third-highest xGA60 (expected goals against per 60 minutes) at 5v5 and might start their backup goalie.
