Let’s cover tonights slate by putting the games into three buckets.
Bucket #1 … The games that you would only hear on ESPN, TNT, NHL Network because of the teams which includes Hurricanes at Penguins, Lighting at Bruins and Avalanche vs Jets
Bucket #2 … The DFS games we want which includes Sharks/Habs, Ducks/Preds and Panthers/Flames
Bucket #3 … The forgotten games … Caps/Canucks, Kraken/Kings
And Bucket #4 … The Bozos, Islanders/Flyers

TOP SPOTS…
PREDATORS
Couple things draw me here. #1 its the Ducks on the other side and #2 it’s Forsberg Tuesday, is it not? Load up on Nashville tonight and don’t be scared to cross the streams by mixing in different lines or just riding PP1 like I am.
Forsberg, Duchene, Josi

FLAMES
Florida ventures into Calgary after a tough OT loss vs Edmonton last night. The Panthers are on a back to back and once again without Barkov.
Lindholm, Huberdeau, Toffoli, Andersson

KRAKEN vs KINGS
It seems every time I see Seattle playing they’re in a high scoring game lately. A lot of that is due to playing teams like the Ducks and Sharks but the Kings are also a team which is playing up. I think we’re gonna get a nice 6+ goal game in this one tonight and DK keeps the pricing on these teams low.
Either go all in on this game or fade it.
Kopitar/Fiala/Doughty
Beniers/Eberle/McCann

CENTERS
There’s a lot of mid priced one offs at center tonight as we’re only looking at an expensive Nathan MacKinnon and an overpriced Bo Horvat for elite level centers going today that draw our eye. I’m not touching Point/Bergeron in their showdown.
- Sebastian Aho
- Tomas Hertl
- Juuso Parssinen … Projected top line with Forsberg. Doesnt see top PP exposure though which is where the gold is for the Preds today.
- Brock Nelson / Mathew Barzal … Both are solid options vs Philly
- Trevor Zegras … Nice game correlation with Nashville skaters

WINGS
- Filip Forsberg … Taco’s and Forsberg. Made for Tuesdays
- Cole Caufield … San Jose ranks 31st on the season and 32nd over the last 4 weeks in goals allowed to LW. Caufield is coming off two sub par SOG games. Look for a rebound tonight.
- Jonathan Huberdeau … Revenge narrative again?
- Troy Terry
- Anders Lee
- Sam Reinhart

DEFENSE
- Ramus Andersson
- Roman Josi
- Mike Matheson
- Quinn Hughes
- Gustav Forsling
[spacer height=”20px”]
VALUE
- Conor Sheary
- Matt Duchene
- Jesper Fast
- Anthony Mantha

My Pick of the day
Andrei Vasilvskiy returns the favor on the Bruins and does what Linus Ullmark did to Tampa down in Tampa last week.
