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

Dynamic Duos

• LW Artemi Panarin (60K) & RW Patrick Kane (94K), Blackhawks (vs. Avalanche): Panarin and Kane combine to be an expensive duo, but with Nick Schmaltz centering the two at 25K, it balances it out. Panarin and Kane have Sedin-like chemistry and will be a handful for Colorado, which allows the second-most goals against per game.

• C Claude Giroux (65K) & RW Wayne Simmonds (63K), Flyers (vs. Hurricanes): The Flyers will catch the Hurricanes on the second game of a back-to-back. As a team, the Canes have the fifth-worst SV% in the NHL and Philly generates the seventh-most shots. Furthermore, Carolina is just 9-17-8 on the road this season.

• C Jordan Staal (45K) & RW Sebastian Aho (48K), Hurricanes (at Flyers): If you feel like going with a more balanced lineup rather than one filled with studs and duds, roster Staal and Aho. Staal has seven points in his last six games while Aho is looking for a goal in three straight contests. Philly's goaltending has been awful all season long.

Bargain Plays

• G Jonathan Quick (75K), Kings (at Flames): Even though the Flames are the NHL's hottest team, a former Vezina Trophy winner at the minimum price is simply highway robbery. Quick recorded a shutout in his last game to improve his SV% to .928 and his GAA to 2.02 in eight starts this season.

• C Nick Schmaltz (25K), Blackhawks (vs. Avalanche): As mentioned, Schmaltz is now centering Panarin and Kane with Artem Anisimov sidelined. He only has 20 points on the year, but he provides outstanding value at 25K centering two of the league's most dangerous players.

• RW Dustin Brown (35K), Kings (at Flames): Brown has picked up three points in his many games, but offensive contributions are only a bonus for the veteran winger. He has 177 hits on the year to go along with 147 shots, providing a stable floor in Squad Up's scoring system. In what projects to be a tough, physical game, look for Brown to step up.

Top Fades

• C Anze Kopitar (62K), Kings (at Flames): Kopitar has picked up his play lately, registering five points in his last four games. Yet, it still doesn't make sense to roster him when teammate Jeff Carter is slightly cheaper. Carter not only has a higher ceiling thanks to his multi-goal potential, but he also takes more shots, giving him a higher floor.

• RW Marian Hossa (49K), Blackhawks (vs. Avalanche): Hossa (lower body) didn't play in Chicago's tilt against the Maple Leafs on Saturday. He is currently listed as questionable, but it wouldn't make much sense for the Hawks to rush the 38-year-old back into action in a game they'll probably win anyway.

• G Jeremy Smith (92K), Avalanche (at Blackhawks): Are you really going to fork up 92K for this 27-year-old journeyman goaltender playing for a historically bad team against a perennial cup contender? I didn't think so.

Contrarian Options

• RW Jakub Voracek (71K), Flyers (vs. Hurricanes): Voracek will have low ownership since fellow RW Wayne Simmonds is cheaper and plays on a line with Claude Giroux. In spite of this, Voracek's high-volume shooting could result in a multi-goal game against the tired Hurricanes.

• D Shayne Gostisbehere (49K), Flyers (vs. Hurricanes): Gostisbehere is more expensive than future Hall of Fame defensemen Shea Weber, Duncan Keith and Drew Doughty, so he will surely be faded. He has had an up and down season to say the least, but he has reeled off four points in his last five games. With all signs pointing towards a strong finish, spend up for him in this matchup.

• C Kyle Turris (44K), Senators (at Canadiens): Playing with uninspiring linemates at 5v5 plummets his fantasy appeal, but 44K for a player as gifted as Turris presents great value. He had a power-play assist and five shots in 20:39 in Saturday's shootout loss versus Montreal. He will likely play a big part in the second leg of a home-and-home, but this time Carey Price will probably be watching from the bench.
