Let’s keep the train rolling with more hat tricks tonight, shall we?

Auston Matthews (Maple Leafs)
We are in that spot where AM34 is simply not going to post another goose egg game. He only has 3 SOG over the last two games, with 0 points in that span. Vancouver is a favorable opponent both DvP wise and in terms of SOG allowed & has a really poor 70% penalty kill rate. Among the Mt. Rushmore at Center (AM34, McDavid, MacKinnon, Drai) tonight he is the one I trust the most.
Second Favorite: Leon Draisaitl (EDM)
Other Centers:
- Nicky Backstrom (WAS) … Along with Kuzy this is a soft spot for the Caps. Good spot to go back to the value 2nd line with Mantha/Oshie getting the rust off.
- Erk Haula (BOS) … Correlation with Pasta.
- JT Miller (VAN)

David Pastrnak (Bruins)
Can we keep the hatty streak going? Well, all we gotta do is imagine if a RW might be playing the Columbus Blue Jackets, whether really playing them or not. In this case, David Pastrnak not only is playing Columbus, but obviously he is arguably the top RW DFS option night in and night out, he is on the second line on the road and … he is only $7,000? Yeah, this is a Boston team which I was certain would be tired as their road trip ends and this is the final leg of that trip. So either Pastrnak is putting up another hatty or the Blue Jackets Goalie (TBD) is going to post a shutout with his team playing a back to back. Yeah, uh, I don’t see that happenin.
Second Favorite: Cole Caufield (MON)
Other Wings:
- Filip Forsberg (NSH)
- Timo Meier (SJ)
- Michael Bunting (TOR)
- Alex Ovechkin (WAS)
- Johnny Gaudreau (CGY)
- Brock Boeser (VAN)

Dmitry Orlov (Capitals)
It’s pretty hard to mess up Defense tonight but I’m gonna try with the $3,400 Orlov. Washington’s D men get the boost of facing the Kraken and with defense being deep today I feel you’re best served having one value D-man in all lineups. Gimme an Orlov 2 point night to fire up that flame next to his name.
Second Favorite: Roman Josi
Other Defense:
- Charlie McAvoy (BOS)
- Morgan Rielly (TOR)
- Darnell Nurse (EDM)
- Quinn Hughes (VAN)
- Zach Werenski (CLS)
- Mark Giordano (SEA)

Anthony Mantha (Capitals)
Check back in a month and I might still be chasing Mantha’s first goal. But vs Seattle for $3,000? Hard to find a reason to dislike this when I also like other Caps today.
Other Value:
- Mikael Granlund (NSH)
- Ryan Dzingel (SJ)
- Jake Evans (MON)
