Teams that you want to likely target the most …

  • Penguins
  • Hurricanes PP
  • Sabres and Senators
  • Oilers/Canucks

Connor McDavid – Oilers – $8,600

The Oilers are going to nuke the Canucks this evening.  Over the last 8 meetings McDavid has managed to have 2 or more points in 6 of those contests and the two games he didn’t (last meeting) he produced 9 SOG in one and only logged 16 minutes of ice time in the other at the end of last season.  I mean, do you need me to justify Connor McDavid?  It’s like justifying that you order a steak when you go to a prime steak house, you don’t need me to tell you to do it.  Either you are going to open up a NHL DFS contest tonight with the intention on playing McDavid (steak) or you are going to just do something cute like playing Little Bitch Sidney Crosby and order the chicken off the menu.  Order the steak….  Just not well done.

Andre Svechnikov – Hurricanes – $4,600

I like the ‘Canes tonight and their PP unit because that’s how they gotta beat the Knights.  Vegas had a great performance vs the Caps last night with a 1-0 shutout, but the Washington PP is cold and rusty while the Carolina PP is certainly clicking just fine and the Knights PK should allow a goal tonight which I’ll take my chance on Svech contributing there.

Damon Severson – Devils – $4,900

I am not big into defensemen hot streaks but Severson has been very good in his recent games, faces a team off a B2B  and I expect the Devils to give the Stars problems today.   He has assists in each of the last two games & 10 shots on goal in the last three, he is itching for a goal tonight.

Oilers at Canucks

McDavid, Yamamoto … Boeser, Hoglander, Hughes

Game stack scenario, betting the over and stacking it up.

Sabres vs Senators

Thompson, Skinner, Dahlin … Norris, Tkachuk, Chabot

Another game that can be targetted, but the talent isn’t as top heavy here.

Connor Helleybuck (WPG)

Very good price on Helle, so I will be curious how many others take the gamble on the high upside against a high shot volume team like Florida.

Carter Hart (Flyers)

Losers of 12 in a row and not doing much of anything good, tonight is the night that Hart stands on his head and delivers a win to the city of Philadelphia.  Their first of the calendar year 2022….
