The Slapshot – Dec 30th

Nice Saturday night before NYE but unfortunately with an NFL Showdown spot tonight the contests aren’t that great.

I really like a ton of one offs tonight and some mid/high end guys.  So it’s a one stack spot for me today.

BRUINS

Geekie – Zacha – Pastrnak

Boston should get a strong performance offensively tonight at home vs the Devils and the top line value with Pastrnak is hard to ignore.  Although if you want a one off JVR really pops off tonight and his SOG prop looks tempting too.

 

POSITIONAL RANKINGS

CENTERS

  1. Aleksander Barkov … Barkov at home on Saturday’s.  It’s up there with Mike Trout my friends.
  2. Auston Matthews … Ditto AM34 at home on Saturday
  3. Morgan Geekie … Best value pick as well
  4. Anze Kopitar
  5. Jack Hughes

WINGS

  1. Alexander Ovechkin … Slow season for the Great 8 and Nashville isn’t gonna look like an easy spot for Washington on a back to back.  But the gut says the Great 8 scores twice and definitely once from his office on the PP.  He returns tonight and starts to get hot in the new year.
  2. David Pastrnak
  3. Martin Necas
  4. Cole Caufield
  5. Evan Rodrigues
  6. Chris Kreider
  7. Filip Forsberg

Best Value:  James Van Riemsdyk, Brandon Saad

DEFENSE

  1. Erik Karlsson
  2. Charlie McAvoy
  3. Adam Fox
  4. John Carlson
  5. Brandon Montour

 

  1. Cam Talbot (Kings)
  2. Joel Hofer (Blues)
