The Slapshot – March 27th

Buffalo Sabres

Tage Thompson, Jeff Skinner, Alex Tech

Jeff Skinner is top player on the slate for me.  Lock him in.

Minnesota Wild

Ryan Hartman, Mats Zuccarelllo, Marcus Foligno

Good value here with Minnesota, who probably shouldn’t be favored even at home vs the Kraken.

Colorado vs Anaheim

JT Compher, Alex Newhook, Evan Rodrigues

Don’t be shocked if Anaheim beats Colorado who is on a B2B going from Arizona to Anaheim tonight, but if that happens it’s still gonna be a high scoring 5-4 type game where the Colorado second line scores twice.

 

CENTERS

  1. Tage Thompson
  2. JT Compher
  3. Ryan Hartman
  4. Nick Suzuki
  5. Leon Draisaitl

 

WINGS

  1. Jeff Skinner
  2. Sam Reinhart
  3. Evan Rodrigues
  4. Alex Tuch
  5. Mats Zuccarello
  6. Denis Gurianov
  7. Nick Schmaltz

 

DEFENSE

  1. Gustav Forsling … Best way to touch the FLA/OTT game is through defenseman
  2. Thomas Chabot
  3. Mike Matheson
  4. Mattias Ekholm … Too damn cheap for his role with EDM
  5. Cam Fowler

 

VALUE PUNTS

Minnesota is the best spot for value, but outside of that …

  1. Mike Hoffman
  2. Jaden Schwartz
  3. Ryan Strome

 

Ilya Sorokin (Islanders) … Cheaper option in a game which is probably the lowest scoring one tonight but the shots advantage here is with Sorokin.

Sergei Bobrovsky (Panthers) … He’ll see a ton of shots for sure.  Definitely a contrarian spot today.
