CENTERS

Aleksander Barkov – Panthers – $7,000

A premiere game tonight between Tampa & Florida and a price decrease on Barkov despite being at home.  I am once again looking at Barkov and annually these teams play high scoring games.  With both teams being well rested and getting healthier this one should prove to be a good spot to target.

  • Elias Lindholm – Flames
  • Brayden Point – Lightning – $7,900

WINGS

Patrik Laine – Blue Jackets – $3,700

Laine is back and on the top line against a Preds team on B2B with very limited defensive depth.

  • Anders Lee – Islanders – $5,400
  • Andrei Svechnikov – Hurricanes – $6,600
  • Matthew Tkachuk – Flames – $6,400

DEFENSE

Rasmus Andersson – Flames – $4,400

Get some Flames exposure tonight no matter what, and a good spot to consider is the defense spot.  Andersson will be on the top PP unit again and the Kraken are near the bottom in the league vs DEF and should be all year.

  • Jaccob Slavin – Hurricanes – $5,600
  • Quinn Hughes – Canucks – $5,300
  • Victor Hedman – Lightning – $7,900
