Here is a look at the Squad Up daily NHL fantasy picture for Saturday's games beginning at 7 p.m. EST and later (all advanced statistics courtesy of Corsica.Hockey and apply to 5v5 situations):

Bargain Plays

• C Sam Gagner (25K), CLB (at BUF): Gagner remains at the minimum price despite a career offensive year. Eighteen of his 41 points have come on the power play. A demotion to the second power-play unit hasn't slowed down his production with the man advantage. The Sabres have the second-worst penalty kill in the league (76 percent).

• RW Oliver Bjorkstrand (29K), CLB (at BUF): Bjorkstrand has taken Gagner's spot on PP1. He has yet to record a power-play point in his brief 28-game career, but it could come on Saturday. He has an elite shot and Buffalo will likely start their backup goalie.

• D Zach Werenski (29K), CLB (at BUF): Twenty-one of Werenski's 40 points have come with the man advantage this year. He remains the quarterback on Columbus' fifth-ranked power play.

Dynamic Duos

• LW Mike Hoffman (62K) & D Erik Karlsson (64K), OTT (at COL): With RW Mark Stone unlikely to play, Hoffman is Ottawa's only trustworthy forward amidst a flurry of injuries up front. Karlsson has stepped up in a big way, with 17 points in his last 14 games. Colorado allows more goals per game than any other team in the NHL.

• C Mitch Marner (43K) & LW James van Riemsdyk (50K), TOR (at CAR): Only the Pittsburgh Penguins generate more scoring chances at 5v5 than Toronto. Marner has been an offensive catalyst for the Blue and White this season. He has five points in his last four games. JVR's ability to finish around the net always gives him multi-goal potential. That potential is further increased against Carolina's 28th-ranked team SV%.

• C Sean Monahan (46K) & Johnny Gaudreau (58K), CGY (at WPG): No team is hotter than the Flames right now. They have won eight games in a row and are 13-2-1 in their last 16 games. Unsurprisingly, Calgary's most prolific offensive duo has stepped up, combining for 34 points during the 16-game stretch. Expect their success to continue against Winnipeg 29th-ranked team SV%.

Goalie Breakdown

• TARGET - Matt Murray (116K), PIT (at VAN): Pittsburgh will be playing their second game in as many nights, but Murray is well rested, having not played since Wednesday. He should have no problem steering aside Vancouver's offense, which has the fifth-lowest xGF60 (expected goals for per 60 minutes) in the NHL at 2.25.

• BARGAIN - Brian Elliott (80K), CGY (at WPG): Every winning streak requires great goaltending, and that's exactly what Elliott has provided. In his last 14 games (13 starts) he is 11-1-1 with a .931 SV%. He provides outstanding value at the near minimum price.

• FADE - Connor Hellebuyck (95K), WPG (vs. CGY): Hellebuyck got lit up for five goals on 15 shots -- the second time he's allowed five goals in his last five games. He cannot be trusted against the surging Flames.

• CONTRARIAN - Carter Hutton (92K), STL (vs. NYI): Hutton has played just one game since Feb. 15. -- by no fault of his own, though. In his last five games he has a .961 SV% and three shutouts. The Islanders are just 12-15-5 on the road this year, while St. Louis is 19-11-4 at home.

Top Fades

• C Tomas Hertl (54K), SJ (vs. NSH): Hertl is a third-line center who hasn't done much offensively this season. There's no reason for him to come with such an expensive salary.

• LW Daniel Sedin (51K), VAN (vs. PIT): Henrik Sedin's job is to feed Daniel, and Daniel's job is to score. Daniel has just 13 goals this year (the same amount as Henrik) and shouldn't be priced anywhere close to 51K.

• RW Kyle Palmieri (71K), NJ (at ARI): 71K for Kyle Palmieri? Sure, the matchup is great, but when you can get much more productive players for half as much, paying up for Palmieri seems silly. He has been held without a point in four of his last five games.

Contrarian Options

• LW Taylor Hall (72K), NJ (at ARI): Hall is the same price as Bruins LW Brad Marchand, so he will instantly be faded. The matchup is juicy though. Nobody surrenders more scoring chances than Arizona. Hall is a far superior player compared to Palmieri and has a longer track record of success.

• RW Wayne Simmonds (46K), PHI (at BOS): Simmonds might get faded with a matchup against Tuukka Rask and the Bruins, but at 46K (much lower than where he is usually priced) he can return value with ease thanks to his physicality. He has 131 hits and 92 PIMs this year.

• D Kevin Shattenkirk (36K), WAS (at LA): The Kings are one of the most sound defensive teams in hockey, so Shattenkirk's ownership will be lower than usual. He has three points in five games since joining Washington and quarterbacks one of the league's most dangerous power plays.
