The Slapshot – Jan 3rd

NHL DFS – The Slapshot

This is mostly just a gut feeling on tonight but it’s a slate where instead of me doing my usual C-W-D build I am looking at a full even strength line stack.  I believe we’ll have some full strength lines that pay off more than PP units or spreading it out to defenseman as well… Just my $0.02.

 

PANTHERS

Barkov – Tkachuk – Verhaeghe

Panthers at home vs the Coyotes.  What could go wrong right?  Barkov is cheap given the matchup.

MAPLE LEAFS

Matthews – Nylander – Bunting

The Blues are depleted, and dealing with plenty of trade rumors too.  They should get worked by Toronto.  You need 3 goals here for the line to pay off though.

PREDATORS

Parissinen – Forsberg – Sissons

Forsberg is on fire, and it’s Tuesday.  The Preds are getting the Habs who have been god awful of late.  This game presents a scenario where Nashville should get a ton of good scoring chances.

ISLES vs CANUCKS

NYI:  Nelson – Beauvillier – Lee

VAN:  Horvat – Boeser – Hughes

My favorite game stack tonight is out west.  Nice pace on this game and good spots for Nelson and Horvat.

MY PICK …

Jacob Markstrom – Flames

The Flames are playing a little better and on a night where you can either go safe or cheap I like Markstrom’s mid range price here.  I think he slips under the radar on the road and gets the win.

OTHERS:

  1. Spencer Knight – Panthers
  2. Anton Forsberg – Senators … Probably a little chalky and a little scary for me.

CONTRARIAN VALUES:

  1. Sam Montembeault – Canadiens
  2. Joonas Korpisalo – Blue Jackets

Nelson – Beauvillier – Lee (Islanders)
