We are back with 10 games on this fine Thursday evening and the under Gods can go pound sand because lots of these games look tempting to play the overs in tonight after a recent quiet stretch of scoring.
TOP STACKS
FLAMES
Sean Monahan – Johnny Gaudreau – Rasmus Anderson
Going to roll out a unique line lock today. You could throw in Sam Bennett as a third option here as well but it’s Monny/Johnny who will contribute the most from Calgary on the road at Vancouver.
OILERS
Connor McDavid – James Neal – RNH
I simply love chasing McDavid on a cold streak and now with RNH and James Neal skating with him tonight it should really be the spot he gets that 3 point bonus finally and blows up the slate. There are 10+ games, great value plays out there and folks will actually roster Carey Price instead today. Hah.
JETS
Mark Scheifele – Nikolaj Ehlers – Andrew Copp
The price on Scheifele and company is criminally low against a Sens defense which although not as disastrous this year, is still favorable to attack every slate. They managed to limit the McDavid’s from going off for two straight games but we cannot pass up the WPG top line today — specifically Scheiele
Contrarian
LIGHTNING vs PANTHERS
Point – Hedman (TB) & Barkov (FLA)
The light has come on for both teams and an annual tradition is when they meet we get high scoring games. Obviously there is no Kucherov and Florida is playing a little less fast this year but with both teams playing well offensively of late I would look here for offense
RED WINGS vs PREDATORS
Sissons – Forsberg – Arvidsson (NSH) & Larkin – Hronek (DET)
One of the odd trends the past 3-4 years has been Detroit simply dominating the Predators for some odd reason. Now we get a real tempting scenario because Forsberg and Arvidsson in theory should look great tonight but the way Nashville is giving up PP goals I would expect the Wings to keep this one close.
KEY SKATERS
