The Slapshot – Dec 27th

Back on the ice with a big 14 game slate today.  Obviously every team had a few days off, so there shouldn’t be many tired legs and it wasn’t too long of a layoff which correlates into a likely high scoring day.

HURRICANES

Aho – Svechnikov – Teravainen

Centers have done well vs Nashville and both Svech and Teravainen are very affordable to roll the full Carolina 1 line stack here.

BRUINS

Coyle – Marchand – DeBrusk

Backing my second line on the road theory here.

PANTHERS

Barkov – Reinhart – Rodrigues

It’s Florida vs Tampa night!  An overs tradition unlike any other.

 

Other likely productive spots

  • Maple Leafs PP (26% success vs 71% PK for Sens)
  • Detroit vs Minnesota … Sneaky game IMO

 

POSITIONAL RANKINGS

CENTERS

  1. Sebastian Aho
  2. Jack Eichel
  3. John Tavares/AM34 … Any TOR PP1 is good.  AM34 a bit pricey for me.

  6. Charlie Coyle

  1. Sam Reinhart
  2. Joe Pavelski
  3. Brad Marchand
