Stanley Cup Slapshot: May 17th

Game Picks

Avalanche destroy Blues, 6-1

Caps/Bruins low scoring, 2-0 Bruins

Hurricanes/Preds 2OT thriller, Preds steal this one 3-2 and then the Hurricanes turn it on, on their way to the Stanley Cup Finals.

 

Line Stacks

Colorado

Simply put, based on the game theories above I am stacking up on the Avalanche top line tonight.   I’ll trust the MacKinnon/Landeskog/Rantanen trio to do enough to just fill in with the right value around them.

Nashville Preds vs Carolina Hurricanes

If you have a game going into OT in the playoffs then with the DK scoring system it’s a fantastic spot to look for value in with all the SOG.   JoFA top line is the best spot in this game for a full line stack and both Johansen and Arvidsson provide the logical value plays.  For Carolina Necas, Niederreiter and Slavin are good values.
