FAVORITE STACKS
Carolina Hurricanes – Aho, Svechnikov, Jarvis
Expensive yes, but I trust this core line over the shuffled Colorado top line and other spots which are chalky tonight.
Anaheim Ducks – Getzlaf – Henrique – Lindholm
The model loves the Ducks and I like this game the most. Good prices on both sides however Nashville is once again a bad penalty kill team and Ryan Getzlaf/Adam Henrique are splitting between PP1/PP2, so one of them is likely to net a PPG tonight and might as well take their full line correlation.
Winnipeg Jets – Dubois, Connor, Wheeler, Schmidt
I think the Jets get overlooked tonight but they’re deeper than Pittsburgh and being at home gives them a big advantage. Conner is my favorite pay up winger tonight and Pittsburgh has been the most weak vs Defenseman, so Nate Schmidt pops off as a solid play. The Pens penalty kill is solid so most will try to avoid this spot with a lot of upside tonight.

KEY SKATERS
Nazem Kadri – Colorado – $6,500
Both Kadri (6.5k) and Mikko Rantanen (8.5k) should be the spots that Colorado gets their logical production from tonight. I didn’t write up the Avs as a stack because for me its Center & D only and Kadri has been really good of late with 8 points over his last three while getting just under 3 SOG per game. The volume should increase even more tonight as the Senators give up 34.2 shots per game, have a very bad 73.8% penalty kill and are allowing 9 fantasy points per game to centers.
Other Centers
- Sebastian Aho
- Ryan O’Reilly
- Ryan Getzlaf

Kyle Connor – Winnipeg – $7,800
In all DFS spots we like to pay up for guys who are contrarian and the Jets fit that mold tonight. I personally feel that the Scheifele line will draw the role of shutting down Crosby’s traveling dumpster group which should open up PLD-Connor-Wheeler to do the offensive damage for the Jets tonight. Connor gives you that SOG bonus upside with slate winning goal potential as always
Other Wings
- Andrei Svechnikov
- Gabriel Landeskog
- Adam Henrique
- Jeff Skinner
- Valeri Nischuskin
- Kasperi Kapanen

Rasmus Dahlin – Buffalo – $3,700
This is a very good price on Dahlin, who will see heavy ice time for Buffalo.
Other Defenseman
- Nate Schmidt
- Torey Krug
- Cale Makar
- Roman Josi
- Hampus Lindholm

GOALIES
Dustin Tokarski (Sabres)
Jordan Binnington (Blues)
James Reimer (Sharks) – He is the only leverage goalie I would consider tonight. A deep longshot.
