Key Skaters

W David Pastrnak (BOS)

The top winger of the night in my eyes is Pastrnak slightly getting the edge over Alex Ovechkin. Pasta is $8,800 while Ovechkin is $9,600 giving a slight discount. Pasta has three goals in his last five games while adding two assists over that span and has hit the shot bonus on DK on three occasions. Detroit’s defense continues to lack as they play at a pretty quick pace suggesting that Pasta and the top line for Boston should have a good amount of scoring chances.

W Kirill Kaprizov (MIN)

Kaprizov has points in five of his last six games with three goals and nine assists over that span. The Coyotes continue to be atrocious defensively and are playing in their second game in as many nights. Minnesota is rolling with three straight wins and 13 goals over that span.

C Steven Stamkos (TB)

Over his current four-game point streak the Lightning captain has two goals and four assists and finds himself in a good matchup on Tuesday. The Blues allow the 12-most scoring chances per 60 at 5v5 and with Tampa still dealing with some important injuries Stammer continues to see an expanded role in all situations.

Favorite Line Stacks

Boston Bruins

Patrice Bergeron, David Pastrnak, Charlie McAvoy

Depending on who takes Brad Marchand’s spot on the top line (he’s suspended) that skater should be worth consideration here and will be a value option to plugin. Bergeron and Pastrnak will drive this line against the weak Detroit defense. McAvoy anchors the back end as an offensive force at even strength and on the top power-play unit along with Bergeron and Pastrnak.

Nashville Predators

Mikael Granlund, Filip Forsberg, Matt Duchene

Although the Blue Jackets have been getting stellar goaltending they find themselves allowing a lot of pressure resulting in scoring chances and high-danger scoring chances for their opponents. Granlund, Forsberg, and Duchene all skate together at even strength and on the top power-play unit and have combined for six points in the Preds’ last two games.

Also consider:

Florida Panthers: Sam Bennett, Jonathan Huberdeau, Sam Reinhart, Aaron Ekblad

New Jersey Devils: Nico Hischier, Jimmy Vesey, Andreas Johnsson, P.K. Subban

Value Line Stacks

Tampa Bay Lightning: Anthony Cirelli, Alex Killorn, Mathieu Joseph

Dallas Stars: Jamie Benn, Denis Gurianov, Michael Raffl, John Klingberg
