QUICK HITTING THOUGHTS
Carolina Hurricanes
This is the spot to go nuke tonight. Hurricanes will do what you all wanted them to do on Thursday night at home against the worst team in the league defensively in Buffalo.
Colorado Avalanche
Avs on the slate + Sens on the Slate + Avs facing Sens on the slate = Avs going off right? Well, the data lately has been wingers destroying the Sens so look at second line Andre Burakovsky as a nice one off here or just go with MacKinnon naked.
Washington Capitals
The Capitals are close to getting some additional key pieces back and tonight they should have TJ Oshie on the ice. He owns the Blue Jackets, who have been rough on defense over the past month.
NY Islanders
Just keep reading because it’s so hard for me to even say this without rolling my own eyes. They are horrible but now for the second game in a row will have their top line back together, and they should carve up Detroit if they are ever going to carve up anyone this year.

GOALIES
Jack Campbell (Leafs)
Minnesota is averaging 30+ shots per game over their last six games and this is a good contrarian spot as both teams are viewed as high scoring lately.
Thatcher Demko (Canucks)
Highest chance of any goalie tonight to hit the 35+ save bonus
