With all the games last night we only have one team who is on a B2B tonight and that is San Jose going into Dallas. The other three games include
- Pittsburgh at Toronto
- Tampa Bay at Washington
- Minnesota at Seattle

STARS
Building around Dallas vs San Jose is where you should start tonight. I look at the Sharks and see a team that just continues to give up good games to opposing centers and Dallas has two guys that are very affordable and reliable in Roope Hintz and Tyler Seguin.
Our secondary picks should be RW Joe Pavelski and DEF Miro Heiskanen. That four man build is the nice starting point on a night you could even go above the field with 5 Stars.
Hintz – Seguin – Pavelski – Heiskanen – Robertson
LIGHTNING / CAPS
Washington should have John Carlson back in the lineup tonight which is a big boost, but they probably still suffer defensively to slow down the Lightning. Stammer is expensive but between him or Namestnikov they will do the goal scoring for Tampa. The latter of which is a superb value who is on PP2 unit.
Overall I like both teams third lines a decent amount in a game which I believe will have 6+ goals, so your one offs can be the studs in Stamkos/Ovechkin or the value in the third line
- Tampa: Namestnikov or Stamkos
- Washington: Eller/Mantha or Kuzy/Ovechkin

CORE ONE OFFS
Alex Ovechkin – Washington
Tampa Bay hasn’t been great against LW and Ovechkin is coming off a game when he got just 1 SOG on net. He should hit the SOG Bonus tonight and on a short slate I would pay up for him over guys like Kucherov, Matthews and Little #87 for Pittsburgh…
Kris Letang – Penguins
The solo plays in the TOR/PIT game to me are the defenseman. Both teams should limit each others forwards and any PP opps likely have to come from the blue line. I like Letang to score on the PP today.
