So we have 8 games on this fine Saturday evening and like Mike Trout on a Saturday night we have Auston Matthews at home on a Saturday. Where in his career he has 22 goals, 24 assists and a plus-minus of 22 in 42 games on Saturdays at home in his career.
That game aside (Habs vs Leafs), this is almost a complete repeat of the slate from Thursday night, so there’s logic in going back to many of those spots tonight for similar reasons — but here’s a quick snapshot on what changed
- Tampa vs Florida … Stammer is out for Tampa due to COVID-19 protocols, which lessons my desire for this game and with Florida winning the first meeting we might actually stay away from the TB/FLA overs theory
- Columbus vs Chicago … I wasn’t full stacking this game the other night but liked pieces of it. Kinda have too here as well.
TOP STACKS
MAPLE LEAFS (vs Canadiens)
Auston Matthews – Mitch Marner – Zach Hyman
This is my go to game tonight for offense above all others and I see a huge game from this full line.
Nick Suzuki – Josh Anderson – Shea Weber
Weber just isnt producing like Petry is but the nearly 1k savings is a no brainer if seeking a third Canadien
COLUMBUS
Kevin Stunland – Oliver Bjorkstrand – Seth Jones
Someone is asleep at the wheel on DraftKings tonight once again with the pricing. After an 11 goal game the other night in which the Blue Jackets notched 6 we have some extremely productive guys who are dirt cheap. Seth Jones remains at only $5,000 despite leading the team in assists, scoring 15+ points in three straight and also getting to draw a Blackhawks team which is giving up over 8 fantasy ppg to opposing d-men on the year. Additionally we have Oliver Bjorkstrand at just $4,400, who you know is just leading the team in total points on the year.
CANUCKS (vs Flames)
Elias Petterson – Brock Boeser – Quinn Hughes
I still believe in both of these teams and whenever the Flames get on the PP tonight they should once again cash in. The Canucks side though is just itching to break out. Killer Boeser got a goal on Thursday and I like him skating with Elias Petterson on the top line.
