The cliff notes for today include three teams with very favorable match-ups, all on the road, Maple Leafs, Wild and Blues.
Auston Matthews – Maple Leafs
Matthews has three SOG combined in his last two games. The Blue Jackets give up 35.2 shots per game and 10+ fantasy points to opposing centers over the last month. Beer is cold. I like beer. When I see beer, I drink said beer. When Matthews see’s the Blue Jackets tonight, he will be like me when I see cold beer.
Tim Stuetzle – Senators
Stuetzle and the Sens will have their hands full tonight w/ the Wild, but its not like Minnesota has been lock down defensively either. At his price on the top line with Tkachuk he should not kill you today.
Vladimir Tarsenko – Blues
St. Louis 2nd line checking all the good boxes today. Second line on the road, facing the Flyers, yadda yadda yadda. Line lock here.
Jared Spurgeon – Wild
He has just 4 goals on the season but the Sens will make it 5, if not 6 tonight.

BLUES
Thomas, Buchnevich, Tarasenko, Krug
Death. Taxes. Attacking the poor Flyers.

Stuetzle, Tkachuk (Sens)
SHARKS
Hertl, Meier, Barabanov, Burns
San Jose is really sticking out like a sore thumb on our Dashboard. San Jose hasn’t done much of late but the Ducks last three games have had a total of 27 goals in them with the Ducks allowing 17 of them.

Nothing like the biggest slate of the NHL season and not having a clear cut goalie. Welcome to every single night in the NHL DFS land…
SERGEI BOBROVSKY (Panthers)
S-Bob is my early lean, but pending who the Preds decide to start that could present a nice leverage option because Florida will win the SOG battle today.
Ville Husso (Blues)
Correlate him with Blues skaters to ENSURE you get the win bonus. Flyers are on a B2B.
