NHL – The Slapshot, Wed – May 5th

TOP STACKS/TEAMS

Dallas Stars

Tampa is ready for the playoffs to defend their Cup title and Dallas is trying to squeeze their way back into the dance and Tyler Seguin is making up for lost time.  Seguin-Benn-Gurianov.

Ottawa Senators

The sens have been pretty good over their last ten going 7-2-1 in that stretch while the Habs are getting beat up by centers (weighted a little bit because of who they’ve played).   Norris-Tkachuk

Arizona Coyotes

The Coyotes really need this game and they’re not a great offensive team obviously so I don’t expect a big output here but Dovrak ($4300), Fischer (2500) and Ekman-Larsson (3700) are all cheap as hell in a good match-up with the Kings.  The Kings have been very fantasy friendly for D-men so OEL or Goligoski/Chychrun are top plays today.

NY Rangers

Before they head out for the golf courses next week the Rangers are going to obviously have some fireworks tonight with Washington, who I am sure is going to be more than happy to play an open free skating style game tonight as they’ll be playing in the playoffs once again next week.   None the less, expect Washington to just get in and get this game over with as quickly as they can and they’ll let the Rangers drop a 5 spot on them.   I would go to Zibanejad here as a top one off.

 

Stud team in an easy spot

Colorado Avalanche

MacKinnon/Landeskog combination surely to gain heavy ownership tonight.  In the three games in this series with the Sharks lately MacKinnon has 9 shots in each of the last two after sitting in the penalty box heavily in the first game.
