Extremely rare situation where there are five games in the playoffs for DFS purposes. Very exciting slate.
GAME THOUGHTS
Islanders vs Penguins
Toughest game to projected for me tonight and not because I am anti Penguins. Pittsburgh should win this game but I would be shocked if it was more than a 1 goal game and I do not see it being a scenario where you lock in some DFS plays to go off on it. Has a 2-2 feel going to OT with Jeff Carter winning it in OT
- Under 5.5 Goals
- Stack: None
- One Offs: Jeff Carter, Brock Nelson
Leafs vs Canadiens
I like Montreal because I really expect this series is going to wind up going 7 now and they would have to win tonight to make that happen. This will wind up being the highest scoring game on the slate and the one to get the most exposure in.
- OVER 5.5 Goals
- Stack: Danault – Gallagher – Weber and Josh Anderson as an extra one off in a full stack
- One Offs: Matthews or Marner
These next three games are all elimination spots, hopefully we get more hockey with the teams up against the wall winning — although it’s not likely in all three.
Lightning vs Panthers
I believe the Panthers have one more big game in them and their best hope is to get excellent goaltending tonight to steal the game, so riding with Bobrovsky in DFS is where I would look if you ride the Panthers to win. Otherwise this is a one off game with the big names — including a Victor Hedman goal.
- Florida Panthers ML
Oilers vs Jets
Oooof. How do you respond to that? You get swept. Later Oilers. 3-1 Jets win with Hellebuyck also being one of those contrarian type goalies to look at today.
- Winnipeg Jets ML, Under 5.5 Goals
Wild vs Knights
And this one is likely going to the Knights. Minnesota is going out much like the Capitals did last night after stealing game one they lost all control back in game three when they choked it away. Knights win this one and they’re my second favorite offensive target tonight
- Over 5.5 Goals
- Stack: Karlsson, Smith, Marchessault, Theodore
