Sweat it out
| POS | NAME | OPP | FPPG | SALARY |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C | Derek Stepan (NYR) | at ANA | 14.2 | 44K |

An excellent lineup for any owners sweating out their season-long semifinal matchup. The Rangers and Ducks play in the day's latest game, keeping East Coast owners up late to see if they'll qualify for the championship matchup. Perry is the only one widely owned. Check your waiver wire to see if any of the other four are available to provide a late-week push.

Old Time Hockey!
| POS | NAME | OPP | FPPG | SALARY |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C | Sidney Crosby (PIT) | vs. PHI | 26.0 | 83K |
| LW | Conor Sheary (PIT) | vs. PHI | 18.5 | 42K |
| RW | Wayne Simmonds (PHI) | at PIT | 19.4 | 54K |
| D | Shayne Gostisbehere (PHI) | at PIT | 12.6 | 44K |

While maybe not too old, any hockey fan can recall the playoff shootouts between the Penguins and Flyers in the era of Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Claude Giroux, Simmonds and Jakub Voracek. The three games between the two teams this season have combined for 19 goals. There should be enough offense in this one to mitigate any minus ratings.
