NHL Playoffs Slapshot – 4/22

COLORADO

Nathan MacKinnon, Arturri Lehkonen, Evan Rodrigues, Cale Makar

What if I told you this was the final game the Avalanche would win this season?  I think MacKinnon is going to shine out in Seattle’s first home playoff game, where the atmosphere should be electric but the juice helps out the road team here as well.   I have Colorado winning this game 4-2 and then Seattle roaring back to win the series.

WINNIPEG

Pierre Luc-Dubois, Mark Scheifele, Kyle Connor

Very cheap for this full top line stack at home.

 

CENTERS

  1. Nathan MacKinnon
  2. Pierre-Luc Dubois
  3. Mika Zibanejad
  4. Jack Hughes

 

WINGS

  1. Kyle Connor / Mark Scheifele
  2. Evan Rodrigues / Arturri Lehkonen
  3. Jesper Bratt
  4. Chris Kreider
  5. Jared McCann

 

DEFENSE

  1. Cale Makar
  2. Mark Giordano
  3. Adam Fox
  4. Alex Pietrangelo
  5. Mikhail Segachev

 

VALUE

  1. Phil Kessel

 

Ilya Samsonov (Maple Leafs)

Second cheapest goalie on the board and in an environmentn where the SA volume will be good and I don’t think we see Tampa put on another route here.  Lower scoring games down in Tampa in this series is my gut feel.
