There’s only three games tonight but I love Sunday night NHL slates this time of year and I looked ahead at the upcoming week and saw a nice balance of games each night, which is refreshing after the 9-3-10 type sized slates we have had.
TARGET STACKS
Montreal
Philip Danault, Brendan Gallagher and Petry or Weber
In terms of total team stacks the Habs should be trusted against the Senators who’ve started to show some cracks of late. The shot volume alone will make Gallagher, Anderson and Petry solid core plays as the Senators give up > 30 SOG per game. So from a bonus perspective it grades out well for Gallagher, Toffoli and Petry the most.
Vancouver
Elias Petterson, Brock Boeser, J.T. Miller.
Back to back home team off an under, a scenario that continues to be solid. The Canucks outshot Winnipeg in the second and third periods in their last game and I’m expecting that to continue today.
CENTERS
Philip Danault – Solid value for MTL top line
Mark Scheifele
Josh Norris
WINGS
Brendan Gallagher / Tyler Toffoli
Brock Boeser / JT Miller
Blake Wheeler
Kyle Connor
Brady Tkachuk
DEFENSEMAN
Shea Weber / Jeff Petry … Big $ savings going Weber on a short slate with limited value.
Josh Morrissey
Quinn Hughes / Tyler Myers
GOALIES
The game outdoors in Lake Tahoe is the clear spot for goalies tonight. With the Flyers greatly giving up more SOG attempts and being depleted we can potentially get a high upside game from Carter Hart, however if you want the safer/chalkier play its Suckka Rask
SLAP SHOTS
LINE LOCK OF THE NIGHT: Danault – Toffoli – Gallagher (Montreal)
FAVORITE BET: Winnipeg/Vancouver O6.5
