Teams on back to back tonight

• Arizona (at home)

 

PANTHERS

Anton Lundell, Carter Verhaeghe, Matthew Tkachuk

Detroit has yielded 13 goals in their last 3, are giving up 34+ SOG in their last 5 and are bottom third DVP against all positions.  Florida is playing well and the second line on the road has nice value with a stud RW in Tkachuk to back as well.

LIGHTNING

Brayden Point, Nikita Kucherov, Alex Barre-Boulet

My eyes lit up like a Christmas tree seeing Tampa Bay at Columbus.  Fire up the Point-Kuch train and hammer the Bolts winning 5-2 tonight.

ISLANDERS

Brock Nelson, Pierre Engvall, Kyle Palmieri

You could leave off Engvall, but sub 3k full line value isn’t bad adding him on.  The Caps are horrible… End analysis.

CANUCKS

Some exposure to Vancouver is ideal today.  San Jose returns home after a long road trip and any of the 4 RW for Vancouver are solid plays here.  I wouldn’t necessarily go a full Vancouver stack but having 1-2 Canucks is good today.
