A more loaded slate tonight and yes the Red Wings are once again playing the Senators in Ottawa. In terms of other teams who are on a back to back tonight we will once again see the Boston Bruins in action on the road as they travel to Calgary. The Blackhawks are also on a road B2B tonight in Arizona.
Buffalo (vs Columbus)
Thompson – Skinner – Power
CBJ: Laine
Last night everyone was waiting for the late game hammers and tonight everyone is going to be on the first spot on the slate — for great reason too. Not sure why we don’t load up on Sabres in this spot and expect them to generate 35+ shots and probably put 5 past Korpisalo.
Florida at Tampa Bay
Lundell-Verhaeghe-Ekblad (FLA), Point (TB), Sergachev (TB)
Barkov remains out for the Panthers but there’s no reason to not look at this game because as always we love riding the overs when these two teams face off against each other and with the game being in Tampa the Bolts probably can get that top line involved enough tonight. I just hate the up and down way that Kucherov is playing right now, so paying 8300, 7100 and 6100 for the top line in a full stack is very dicey on a big slate like this IMO. Shop here for one offs…
Nashville Predators
Thomas Novak, Matt Duchene, Mikael Granlund
I don’t think anyone is playing worse right now than the Penguins who just gave up 7 to the Lightning are just saying f**k it lets just play high scoring games right now. Nashville isn’t much better honestly, but we don’t do Penguins here.
CENTERS
- Brayden Point
- Tage Thompson
- Evgeni Malkin
- Thomas Novak
- Barrett Hayton
WINGS
- Mikael Granlund
- Kirill Kaprizov
- Patrik Laine
- Nino Niederreiter … The Jets are a mess right now and are sliding in the newly acquired Nino onto their top line. 2500 for him on the top line is better than VALUE, I like him as a core play to get a few SOG and a point tonight.
- Jordan Eberle / Jared McCann
- Jeff Skinner
- Clayton Keller
- Carter Verhaeghe
DEFENSE
- Owen Power
- Aaron Ekblad … Over the last couple of months Ekblad has been a mainstay for firing pucks on net. He’s thrown up a bunch of 7, 4, 6, 3, 5, 6, 6, 4 type game logs, but there’s a random sprinkle of 0’s in there. One was when he got hurt and only had 3 shifts but the other two were in games whn he logged 27+ mins. They’ll need him to be aggressive without Barkov tonight and I think he’s about as safe as they come for 10+ fpts.
- Seth Jones
- Mikael Sergachev
- Justin Faulk
- Filip Hronek
VALUE
- Nino
- Anton Lundell
- Jack Roslovic
- Nick Blankenburg
There are three guys who could see a ton of SOG and stand on their heads tonight in Vasilevskiy, Hellebuyck and Saros. I can’t say I want to trust any of them though…
Filip Gustavsson (Wild) … Very much like the Wild to win, which is kinda more expecting the Isles to just lose.
Sam Montembeault (Habs) … With Timo gone I am not confident in the Sharks offense one bit.
