Here is a look at the Squad Up daily NHL fantasy picture for Monday, December 19 (all advanced stats are at 5v5 and courtesy of Corsica.Hockey):

Triple Threat

• C Brayden Schenn (51K), RW Wayne Simmonds (67K), D Shayne Gostisbehere (50K), Flyers (vs. Predators): The Flyers had their 10-game winning streak snapped, but they should be able to bounce back against a Predators that is just 3-9-2 on the road. Schenn and Simmonds average more Squad Up fantasy points per game, yet come cheaper than Claude Giroux and Jakub Voracek.

• C Mitchell Marner (52K), LW James van Riemsdyk (56K), D Morgan Rielly (29K), Maple Leafs (vs. Ducks): Toronto has struggled lately, but is 9-5-2 at home and still leads the NHL in xGF60 (expected goals for per 60 minutes) and SCF60 (scoring chances for per 60 minutes). John Gibson has a sub-.900 SV% on the road this season.

• C Robby Fabbri (42K), RW Vladimir Tarasenko (81K), D Kevin Shattenkirk (43K), Blues (vs. Oilers): The Oilers can't escape their defensive woes, as they rank fourth-last in both xGA60 (expected goals against) and SCA60 (scoring chances against). The Blues are 13-2-3 at home and Edmonton has no D capable of slowing down Tarasenko.

Goalie Breakdown

• TARGET & BARGAIN - Chad Johnson (75K), Flames (at Coyotes): Johnson has bad back-to-back rough starts, but expect him to bounce back against the Coyotes, who have the second-lowest xGF60 in the NHL. They also generate the third-fewest scoring chances in the league.

• FADE - Cam Talbot (85K), Oilers (at Blues): It's tough to invest in a goalie going up against a team that is 13-2-3 at home. There are better options elsewhere.

• CONTRARIAN - Mike Smith (113K), Coyotes (vs. Flames): With a young team in front him, Smith routinely faces 40-plus shots per night. He has been up to the task, with a .930 SV% on the year. He is the most expensive goaltender, but he also comes with more upside than any other netminder.

Bargain Plays

• C Derek Ryan (25K), Hurricanes (vs. Red Wings): Ryan has had a long journey to the NHL. The 29-year-old rookie played at the University of Alberta after his junior career, followed by stints in Austria and Sweden. An offensive-minded player, skating has always been his weakness - but he's red-hot right now, tallying eight points in his last six games.

• RW Anthony Mantha (27K), Red Wings (at Hurricanes): Mantha has just nine points in 17 games this season. At 6-foot-5, the 22-year-old can physically impose his will on any defenseman. Cam Ward hasn't exactly been a brick wall in net lately, posting an .885 SV% in his last six games.

• D Michael Del Zotto (25K), Flyers (vs. Predators): Del Zotto has missed much of the season with injury, but he has nine points in 16 games. In addition to his offensive game, he also has 67 hits and 33 blocks, providing outstanding value in Squad Up at just 25K.

Top Fades

• LW Anthony Duclair (41K), Coyotes (vs. Flames): Do you really want to invest 41K in someone with one goal on the year, just over a shot per game and playing only 13 minutes per night? I didn't think so.

• RW Radim Vrbata (62K), Coyotes (vs. Flames): Vrbata is having a nice bounce-back season, but 62K is pretty steep considering this is still Radim Vrbata were talking about.

• D Mike Green (42K), Red Wings (at Hurricanes): Green is having a fine season, but he is questionable to play on Monday and doesn't come with enough upside to warrant any risk.

Contrarian Options

• C William Nylander (59K), Maple Leafs (vs. Ducks): With so many of Toronto's forwards listed as centers on Squad Up, Nylander will likely have low ownership. He has worked his way out of Mike Babcock's doghouse; reunited on a line with Auston Matthews, Nylander has four points in his last five games, averaging 18:04 over that span.

• LW Tomas Tatar (51K), Red Wings (at Hurricanes): Tatar recorded a hat-trick in his last game. It was well-deserved considering he has taken 70 shots on the year but had just four goals prior to his breakout. Snapping out of that prolonged slump could be all it takes to get Tatar going on the right path moving forward.

• RW Jakub Voracek (81K), Flyers (vs. Predators): Voracek is 14K more expensive than his teammate Simmonds, but averages 2.5 fewer fantasy points per game. It's clear that Simmonds will have higher ownership, so draft Voracek for your tournament lineups. He has recorded four points twice in his last five games.
