Smaller slate tonight which is nice as there is no McDavid and no Matthews either. The Stars/Preds game has once again been PPD because folks down in Texas are soft and cannot handle a measly little ice storm.
TOP STACKS
NY Rangers
Mika Zibanejad – Chris Kreider – Adam Fox – Gallon of Bleach
Look, if Anthony Duclair can finally score two goals then Zibanejad surely can finally get a big game out of his system against the crappy New Jersey Devils tonight.
Washington Capitals
Evgeni Kuznetsov, Alex Ovechkin, TJ Oshie, John Carlson
I expect the Caps to skull fuck the Penguins tonight and that is putting things lightly. It’s really just a matter of math and science coming together to win a GPP tonight as the math is Washington’s 37% PP unit against the Penguins 70% PK unit and the science of Ovechkin being pissed off from losing to the Penguins on Sunday. With the Caps having their core back and a game under their belts they should skate really well tonight and play some good fricken hockey with multiple PP goals
You seriously didn’t think I would write up the Penguins did you? Caps PP will score 2+ goals tonight.
Minnesota Wild vs LA Kings
This is a third wheel type stack. Meaning you throw caution to the wind and stack a game on a shorter slate which can produce a 4-3 score and wind up being the highest one on the slate. Neither team is very stout defensively they’re just a sluggish pace in general but in four meetings already this year they’ve had some decent games. Guys who have produced well include Jeff Carter, Anze Kopitar, Joel Eriksson Ek and Ryan Suter. Both teams D-men should grade out well here. Look here for a nice game stack.
