Travis Sanheim is poised for a big night as the Philadelphia Flyers take on the Boston Bruins.

If you’re looking for a steal tonight in daily fantasy, look no further than Flyers Travis Sanheim. The Philadelphia Flyers take on the Boston Bruins tonight at the Wells Fargo Center. This contest will be hard fought with Philadelphia poised to take the lead in the Metro division. The Washington Capitals are currently only one point ahead of the Flyers.

In the previous meeting with the Bruins, the Philadelphia Flyers came out on top with Sanheim being a key contributor in each game. He didn’t record any points during the November 10 game; however, he was a plus two and had three shots on goal. On January 13, Sanheim scored two goals on five shots.

Still, these numbers are solid for a defenseman with 6.4 points in November and 33.6 points in January according to Fan Duel. Given their low price tag of $3,900, Travis Sanheim is well worth the risk. The cheap gamble will allow you to spring for higher priced players elsewhere.

Be warned, the last five games have been feast or famine for Travis Sanheim. His average Fan Duel fantasy points is 10.02 over that time, but that average is propped up by two huge games. The other three games each saw less than five points.

While there is a risk of running into a bad game, Sanheim is worth a gamble tonight. His past performances against Boston point to a solid performance tonight. His shot production has dropped recently, but he is racking up some assists. The Flyers will be in full send mode to get their tenth win in a row. Travis Sanheim will be poised to put up some numbers.
