Here are theScore's center value rankings for Friday, November 6:
| # | Name | Opponent | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Henrik Zetterberg (DET) | at TOR | Low |
| 2 | Leon Draisatil (EDM) | vs. PIT | Low |
| 3 | Tyler Seguin (DAL) | at CAR | Low |
| 4 | Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (EDM) | at PIT | Low |
| 5 | Evgeni Malkin (PIT) | at EDM | Low |
Zetterberg tops the value rankings over Draisaitl and Nugent-Hopkins; the 35-year-old is the player most likely to return his value at a reasonable price versus a Maple Leafs team struggling to keep pucks out of the net.
Seguin is the highest-priced player in NHL DFS, and is worth exposing your lineups around most nights - except for Friday in Carolina. Dallas has been on the road since Monday, setting up the potential for stinker.
| # | Name | Opponent | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | Derrick Brassard (NYR) | at COL | Medium |
| 7 | Artem Anisimov (CHI) | at NJ | Medium |
| 8 | Nathan MacKinnion (COL) | vs. NYR | Medium |
| 9 | Travis Zajac (NJ) | vs. CHI | Medium |
| 10 | Riley Sheahan (DET) | at TOR | Medium |
| 11 | Sidney Crosby (PIT) | at EDM | Medium |
| 12 | Jonathan Toews (CHI) | at NJ | Medium |
| 13 | Ryan Getzlaf (ANA) | vs. CLB | Medium |
| 14 | Adam Henrique (NJ) | vs. CHI | Medium |
| 15 | Carl Soderberg (COL) | vs. NYR | Medium |
| 16 | Victor Rask (CAR) | vs. DAL | Medium |
| 17 | Derek Stepan (NYR) | at COL | Medium |
| 18 | Cody Eakin (DAL) | at CAR | Medium |
| 19 | Ryan Johansen (CLB) | at ANA | Medium |
| 20 | Kevin Hayes (NYR) | at COL | Medium |
Brassard has taken over the first-line C role from teammate Stepan, and is producing with Rick Nash and Mats Zuccarrello - scoring four goals and assisting on six over 12 games. Expect a mulit-point night against backup Avalanche G Reto Berra.
Johansen has been dropped to the second line in the John Tortorella era; in Detroit, Sheahan has won the second-line center role and has points in his last two games.
| # | Name | Opponent | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| 21 | Matt Duchene (COL) | vs. NYR | High |
| 22 | Nazem Kadri (TOR) | vs. DET | High |
| 23 | Brandon Dubinsky (CLB) | at ANA | High |
| 24 | Boone Jenner (CLB) | at ANA | Medium |
| 25 | Tyler Bozak (TOR) | vs. DET | High |
The Leafs' centers produce solid DFS points, but you can't trust them to come through every night - especially against a solid Detroit team.
Duchene is on the Avs' second line with Soderberg and W Gabriel Landeskog, presenting good value on most DFS slates. But Duchene may struggle against Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, still among the league's best.
