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

Dynamic Duos

• C Elias Lindholm (51K) & RW Sebastian Aho (56K), Hurricanes (vs. Maple Leafs): The Leafs will be playing their second game in as many nights, meaning they could come out sluggish and G Curtis McElhinney will likely start between the pipes. Lindholm has 15 assists in his last 17 games, while Aho has 14 goals in his last 29. The Buds allow the fifth-most scoring chances in the NHL.

• C Joe Pavelski (71K) & RW Kevin Labanc (25K), Sharks (vs. Bruins): Labanc is lucky enough to play on San Jose's top line with a couple of not-so-average Joes (Pavelski and Thornton). He has picked up four points in his last four games. NHL teams are now 3-11-4 coming off the bye week and Boston hasn't played since last Sunday.

• C Tyler Johnson (35K) & RW Nikita Kucherov (70K), Lightning (at Avalanche): In a battle of singular team names, look for the Lightning to come out on top - or at least fill the net against the Avalanche. Colorado allows more goals than any other team. Even though Tampa Bay has had a poor season, Kucherov has played at a near point-per-game pace.

Bargain Plays

• C Frank Vatrano (25K), Bruins (at Sharks): Vatrano has a surprisingly high floor for a minimum salary player. He is averaging close to three shots per game and over one hit per game. To top it off, he has two goals and two assists in his last two contests.

• LW Josh Leivo (25K), Maple Leafs (at Hurricanes): Leivo has shined since being inserted into Toronto's lineup, recording six points in his last three games. What he lacks in skating ability he makes up with good size and a heavy shot. He is even seeing power-play time thanks to his strong play.

• RW Kevin Labanc (25K), Sharks (vs. Bruins): As mentioned, Labanc is blessed with first-line real estate with one of the best playmakers of our generation in Thornton, and one of the most underrated players in the game, Pavelski.

Top Fades

• G Jacob Markstrom (105K), Canucks (vs. Flyers): Markstrom has done nothing to warrant a position-leading salary, especially against a team with plenty of fire power like the Flyers.

• LW James van Riemsdyk (47K), Maple Leafs (at Hurricanes): JVR is averaging nearly 1:30 less ice time than his season average over his last six games. He has picked up only one point during the stretch and his production will continue to take a hit with linemate Mitch Marner injured.

• C Nathan MacKinnon (71K), Avalanche (vs. Lightning): It just doesn't make much sense to fork up 71K for MacKinnon when there are cheaper players who have been much more productive. See Auston Matthews.

Contrarian Options

• G Curtis McElhinney (86K), Maple Leafs (at Hurricanes): McElhinney was roughed up in his last outing, allowing four goals on 34 shots. But in his three starts prior he was marvelous, allowing just five goals total on 111 shots.

• C Ryan Getzlaf (76K), Ducks (vs. Kings): Getzlaf will surely be faded with his high salary and low floor against a tough defensive Kings squad. Yet, the veteran is always capable of a multi-point game. His 19 goals against LA are his most against any team in his career.

• D Shayne Gostisbehere (43K), Flyers (at Canucks): Gostisbehere's struggles have been well documented. He was even a healthy scratch for a few games. Although, the youngster still anchors a dangerous Flyers power play facing Vancouver's 24th ranked penalty kill.
