Here are the top teammate stacks for Monday:
C Joe Thornton and C/W Joe Pavelski, Sharks (at Flames)
On sites allowing multiple center-eligible players - either organically or through the use of a UTIL spot - Thornton and Pavelski are a five-star lock as combo of the night.
The two combined for four points in a 7-0 home waxing of the Toronto Maple Leafs over the weekend; while it's unlikely San Jose will repeat the feat Monday in Calgary, it remains a good bet to put some pucks in the net against one of the worst goaltending tandems in the league.
The Sharks have seven goals in two prior meetings versus Calgary, and own an unfathomably great 13-6-2 record away from San Jose. Pavelski has 14 goals in 21 road games, while Thornton has 18 points over that span. Roster them despite the high combined cost; they should return value easily.
C Ryan Spooner and W Loui Eriksson, Bruins (at Rangers)
Speaking of teams with inexplicably strong road records, the Bruins come into this one a sparkling 12-3-3 mark away from Boston. And DFS players looking for a value play should consider the tandem of Spooner and Eriksson.
Spooner has been one of the most dependable road plays in daily fantasy, compiling four goals and 10 assists in 18 games. He offers the opportunity for a great return at a reasonable price against a Rangers team he scored against in their previous meeting Nov. 27.
Eriksson hasn't been nearly as successful on the road, but remains on a 70-point pace for the season and assisted on Spooner's tally in their first meeting with the Rangers. He, too, is priced reasonably given his production, and allows DFS players to spend up elsewhere.
C Aleksander Barkov and W Jaromir Jagr, Panthers (at Canucks)
Like all good things, the Panthers' incredible winning streak will eventually come to an end - but with the run now at 12 games and counting, fading the Florida duo of Barkov and Jagr would be foolhardy.
Jagr continues to betray his age, racking up 10 points over the course of the winning streak and scoring four times in his last four games. He had a goal and an assist in his previous meeting with the Canucks, and is priced below the top tier of wingers on Monday's slate.
Barkov has been even better during the Panthers' amazing run, scoring six goals and adding eight assists to approach a point-per-game pace for the season. The Canucks rank 22nd in the league in goals against per game, making Barkov and Jagr a terrific road pairing option.
