Key Skaters

C Sidney Crosby (PIT)

• The Sabres’ solid start has become nothing more than an afterthought as they are allowing 3.5 goals per game (the fourth-most in the league) but have been playing well of late. With that being said Sidney Crosby has also been playing well of late finding the fountain of youth with points in eight of his last nine games. Crosby has had multiple points in five of those games and should fair well against the Sabres who have allowed the third-most DraftKings points to centers.

C Trevor Zegras (ANA)

While the young budding star of the Ducks continues to produce with 23 points in 29 games, his salary is still in the 6K range against one of the friendliest defenses in the league. Arizona allows the most goals per game, averages the most penalty minutes per game, and has the third-worst penalty kill in the league.

Favorite Line Stacks

Pittsburgh Penguins

Sidney Crosby, Evan Rodrigues, Jason Zucker, Kris Letang

• Full even-strength correlation with the three forwards here and power-play correlation when you add in Letang. Pittsburgh should be one of the chalky stacks tonight but the matchup is fantastic.

Anaheim Ducks

Trevor Zegras, Sonny Milano, Rickard Rakell, John Drysdale

• Much like the Penguins stack, there’s full even-strength correlation here with the forwards while adding Drysdale in gives four members of the Ducks’ top power-play unit. Arizona, as mentioned above is the most penalized team in the league with one of the worst penalty kills to date. Anaheim brings a ton of value with upside that is as good as any other team on the slate.

Also consider:

Chicago Blackhawks: Dylan Strome, Alex Debrincat, Patrick Kane, Seth Jones

New York Rangers: Mika Zibanajad, Artemi Panarin, Chris Kreider, Adam Fox
