The Slapshot – Feb 20th

TOP STACKS

Arizona Coyotes

Schmaltz – Keller – Garland

There are a ton of games tonight which also played out on Thursday, so you know the drill by now which is either ride what happened before given the match-up is the same or go opposite.  The Coyotes and Blues were two teams I went against because they had been playing each other for so long and the Coyotes did struggle against the Kings on home ice Thursday.  Garland contributed in that game with a goal though and this line is grading out very well for me today.  I like the chances of getting 2+ goals from this full line stack today so look at them or back to the CBUS well tonight.

Columbus Blue Jackets

Columbus top line.  Roslovic, Cam and Laine

Same matchup as the other night when they got one goal from the top line and then went into cruise control mode.  Should benefit tonight from that bad Nashville PK and the Columbus confidence meter will continue to rise.  Cam Atkinson is playing very well right now.

Flames vs Oilers

Oh Alberta….  This game is going to shoot the moon in my mind.  We’ve been waiting all year for that Calgary blow up game and this is the spot I would take a shot on them with.  McDavid seems to be getting forgotten about with AM34 going ham every single slate.

 

KEY SKATERS

CENTERS

Connor McDavid (EDM) … Both teams played last night so no fears really about one team being more rested than the other.  They’ll get up for this game as they always do.

Auston Matthews (TOR) … Saturday night special and having an MVP season so far.

Jack Roslovic (CBJ) … Was not productive in the first game vs NSH but he should have been.

Philip Danault (MTL) … Nice value in a nice paced game.

Sean Monahan (CGY) – Lingering injury but might be back tonight.

 

WINGS

Cam Atkinson (CBJ) / Patrik Laine (CBJ)

Johnny Gaudreau (CGY) … Favorite game stack tonight

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (EDM) … Top line with Connor

Evander Kane (SJ)

Clayton Keller (ARI) … Model loves him and I like Arizona tonight to win

 

DEFENSEMAN

Seth Jones (CBJ)

Justin Faulk (STL) … Sharks have been really generous to opposing D-men this year.  Faulk is on the top PP but Krug on PP2 is also in consideration.

Noah Hanifin (CGY)

Jacob Chycrum (ARI) / Alex Goligoski (ARI)

 

 

GOALIES

Darcy Keumper (ARI)

John Gibson (ANA)
