One of my favorite traditions in sports is the large NHL slate before Thanksgiving and I used to try to attend the Caps home game the night before Thanksgiving all the time with my family. Now they’re grown up and I just sit at home and drink and think about staying up to see if the McDavid stack I have will cash or not…

TOP STACKS
Carolina Hurricanes
Trocheck / Niederreiter / DeAngelo
We give Thanks tonight that there is an expansion team and that the Hurricanes can feast on them. They are wrapping up the west coast portion of their trip which they have gone 3-1 on with their last game being the one that they failed to score much in. I like a good bounce back against the weak Kraken tonight and love the value that Trocheck-Niederreiter give you to pair with the EDM or TOR studs who are in great spots as well. Seattle is also one of the worst teams in the league vs DEF, so get some Carolina D in as well.

Edmonton Oilers:
Draisaitl / Nugent-Hopkins / Yamamoto
This is the stinky part about tonight, you can definitely get away from the Edmonton line because there are a ton of games out there and better priced spots, but there aren’t many which should be as solid as this.
Arizona is bad overall, terrible against centers and should get run over by Edmonton tonight. I kind of prefer the Draisaitl-RNH-Yamamoto second line full stack but RNH and Yamamoto just don’t score enough on their own, so go heavy with some defense here as well.

Winnipeg Jets:
Dubois / Connor / Wheeler
Pierre-Luc Dubois ($5,800) is back in Columbus and bringing with him some due firepower in Kyle Connor and Blake Wheeler. Full Power Play correlation here as well.

Minnesota Wild
Hartman / Kaprizov / Zuccarello
