NHL Slapshot – April 22

TODAYS STACKS

N.Y. RANGERS  (Zibanejad, Kreider, Buchnevich)

The Rangers top line has been fairly productive all season and we should probably see Zibanejad a little more expensive than he is against a Flyers team that can’t stop much all season long.  This should be a high scoring game tonight as they have been most of this season and the Rangers top line plus some Adam Fox is where I can expect the most damage to come from.

SENS vs CANUCKS (Best value game)

Two bad teams will meet up and the Canucks have to be excited to not have to play the Leafs again right out of the gate.  Should be one of the more high scoring games we have tonight and one that both sides have good options from.  The Canucks have gotten great play from the Horvat-Pearson-Hoglander line and Hoglander/Pearson for $3900 each are fantastic value.

COLORADO AVS  (MacKinnon, Landeskog, Girard)

Colorado is too good for St. Louis.  After the Blues took the first meeting 4-1, the Avs have reeled off four straight wins with 17 goals in that time span.  The MacKinnon/Landeskog combination is a very price one to look at tonight on DraftKings but it should produce as Mac alone has 22 points per game across the 5 meetings.  Mostly I want MacKinnon from the Avs and wouldn’t mind a pairing with him as well on a secondary stack.
