Here is a look at the Squad Up daily NHL fantasy picture for Saturday, November 26 (all advanced stats courtesy of Corsica.Hockey):

Goalie Breakdown

TARGET & BARGAIN - Braden Holtby (77K), Capitals (at Maple Leafs): It's quite astounding that Holtby, last season's Vezina Trophy winner, is priced this low against a rebuilding team like the Maple Leafs. Toronto's offense is dangerous, but c'mon, 77K for Braden freaking Holtby? Get him in all of your lineups.

FADE - Frederik Andersen (109K), Maple Leafs (vs. Capitals): Andersen has settled in as the netminder in the most hockey-crazed market on the planet, posting a .931 SV% in his last 12 games. However, it's tough investing in his salary (third-highest priced goalie) with a matchup Toronto will probably be on the losing end of.

CONTRARIAN - Cam Ward (75K), Hurricanes (at Senators): Holtby's low salary will lead to low ownership for every other goalie on the slate. Ward is having a bounce-back season. He has a .943 SV% in his last 10 games and has a favorable matchup against the Sens, who rank 28th in goals per game with 2.2.

Triple Threat

C Evgeni Malkin (74K), RW Phil Kessel (61K), D Kris Letang (48K), Penguins (vs. Devils): The Devils will be playing their second game in as many nights and Keith Kinkaid will be in goal. Malkin and Kessel play at 5v5 and on the power play together. If budget relief is needed, take Letang with Sidney Crosby and Conor Sheary, who play together at 5v5 and 5v4 as well.

C Nathan MacKinnon (74K), RW Mikko Rantanen (30K), D Patrick Wiercoich (25K), Avalanche (vs. Canucks): This affordable stack allows you to draft draft both Alex Ovechkin and Carey Price at the remaining positions. Vancouver is playing their second consecutive game and allows the third-most SCA60 (scoring chances against per 60 minutes) at 5v5.

C Nicklas Backstrom (59K), LW Marcus Johansson (39K), RW Justin Williams (37K), Capitals (at Maple Leafs): Ovehckin's line will likely draw Toronto's top checking line and top D pairing. Though their offense has been dynamite, the youthful Leafs have been exposed in the defensive end at times, and are allowing the second-most SCA60 at 5v5.

Bargain Plays

RW Mikko Rantanen (30K), Avalanche (vs. Canucks): Rantanen's NHL career started off slowly, but he has five points in his last three games. He plays top-line minutes and sees time with the man advantage. He also has 20 blocked shots in 23 career NHL games.

C Jake Guentzel (25K), Penguins (vs. Devils): As with most youngsters who get called up by the Penguins, Guentzel is getting a glorious opportunity playing alongside Malkin and Kessel. The 22-year-old has two goals and an assist in his first three games after averaging more than a point-per-game in the AHL this season. Kinkaid is in net for the Devils.

D Patrick Wiercioch, Avalanche (vs. Canucks): Wiercioch is worth investing in as a minimum-priced defenseman. In his last five games he has three points and is averaging nearly 19 minutes of ice time. The towering defenseman anchors Colorado's top power-play unit and will also contribute with a few shots, hits and blocks per game.

Top Fades

LW Patrick Marleau (49K), Sharks (vs. Ducks): Marleau is really showing signs of age this season with just seven points in 21 games. Playing on San Jose's top line means he'll see a lot of Ryan Kesler's checking line and Anaheim's top D pairing. Better value can be found at LW.

RW P.A. Parenteau (57K), Devils (at Penguins): I'm not quite sure what the reasoning is for Parenteau's high salary. The 33-year-old has eight points in 20 games this season. He frankly isn't a very good player and to top it off he has a poor matchup.

D Mike Green (40K), Red Wings (vs. Canadiens): Green can reach his floor with hits and blocked shots, but his upside is significantly limited with Carey Price in net for the Habs.

Contrarian Options

C Auston Matthews (69K), Maple Leafs (vs. Capitals): Matthews has been snakebitten this season. He is fifth in the league in shots on goal and his 7.35 iSCF60 (individual scoring chances for per 60 minutes) is the highest in the NHL by a wide margin. His ownership will be low against the Caps, but he is always capable of a multi-point night.

RW Jaromir Jagr (52K), Panthers (vs. Blue Jackets): Father time finally seems to be catching up to Jagr, as he has just nine points this season. This will surely keep his ownership down, but he could have a big night given the fact that Columbus will be playing their second game of a back-to-back and could choose to rest G Sergei Bobrovsky.

LW Jeff Skinner (57K), Hurricanes (at Senators): Craig Anderson's stellar play this season will keep Skinner's ownership down. Skinner has been equally impressive in his own right this year with eight goals and eight assists in 18 games, including four multi-point outings. Ottawa's defensive play is bound to come crashing down to earth soon.
