Dynamic Duos: Stastny and Brouwer Should Have Colorado Singing the Blues

Here are the top teammate plays for Sunday's five-game slate.

C Paul Stastny and RW Troy Brouwer, Blues (at Avalanche)

Stastny and Brouwer have been mid-priced bargains of late; Stastny has 15 points and six multi-point efforts in his last 10 games, and is in the midst of a four-game point streak (one goal, six assists).

Brouwer hasn't been quite as prolific, but has managed 10 points in as many games, and has recorded at least one point of five of his last six games. As a team, St. Louis has scored at least four goals in seven of its last 10 games, and Avalanche goaltender Semyon Varlamov has allowed exactly three in all of his last six starts.

C Matt Cullen and LW Tom Kuhnhackl, Penguins (vs. Flyers)

There's no shortage of offensive options on the high-scoring Penguins, who have managed 24 goals over their last five games, so the bargain-priced duo of Cullen and Kuhnhackl are focused on here. Both players can be had as a package deal for less than the cost of one Sidney Crosby, Phil Kessel or Kris Letang, and each have been reliably producing.

In seven games, Kuhnhackl has as many points, all of which have been compiled in three separate multi-point efforts. At a near-minimum price, a solid floor is provided through the German rookie's averages of 1.4 blocks and 1.1 shots over his last 10 games.

The 39-year-old Cullen has six points in his last seven games, with two multi-point efforts in that stretch. The high-flying Penguins are rolling three lines that have been producing offense, so the youngster and the veteran comprise a unit that is both affordable and under-the-radar compared to the team's bigger names.

C Ryan Getzlaf and LW Jamie McGinn, Ducks (vs. Stars)

Getzlaf and McGinn were each held off the score sheet in Anaheim's most recent game, a 3-2 loss to Vancouver on Friday, but it wasn't for lack of trying: the duo combined for eight shots on goal.

The mid-priced McGinn was on a four-game point streak prior to Friday (three goals, three assists), while recording at least three shots in each contest. The premium-priced Getzlaf was on a run of six points in five games (one goal, five assists). He's recorded at least four shots six times in his last 10 games.

Dallas is on a solid run of defensive resilience, allowing two goals or fewer in six of its last seven games, but the Ducks scored seven goals over two earlier meetings with the Stars. Fatigue may be somewhat of a factor for Dallas, given the team is playing its third game in four nights and is coming off a hard-fought win over the Kings Saturday.

Injuries to Rickard Rakell and Brandon Pirri may cause some line shuffling within Anaheim's forward corps, but McGinn and Getzlaf should end up staying together based on their production of late.
