3/12 NHL Favorite Popular Line
Tampa Bay One – “Brayden Point ($7,300), Nikita Kucherov ($7,700), Brandon Hagel ($5,000)” (Steven Stamkos injured on Saturday as of the time of writing)
With Connor Hellebuyck starting in net for the Jet Saturday “and getting pummeled with shots as of the time of writing”, Tampa will avoid him. This game is only set for a six total but the Lightning are also -195 money line favorites. Brandon Hagel has gone cold as of late whereas Kuch is red hot. Therefore, you can make the argument to run this as a two-man stack. That said, I would assume he jumps back up to the top line with Steven Stamkos’s injury Saturday night. That sort of move will certainly help to get him going if nothing else will.
3/12 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line
Carolina One – “Sebastian Aho ($7,000), Andrei Svechnikov ($6,800), Seth Jarvis ($4,500)”
They always seem to let us down in top matchups where they are heavily favored as they were on Thursday night. However, I don’t mind going back to well here. My hope is that they put up the sort of production that their recent peripheral stats would indicate they’re capable of. They are tied for the NHL lead in SATF over their last ten games.
10-Day Sample Size – SATF “accounts for all shots including blocked and missed shots”
Defenseman and Goalie
Defenseman
John Klingberg – Minnesota – $4,200 – Cheap price for the quarterback of the Wild’s power play unit. Klinger’s price should shoot up further as he gets acclimated to his new digs. On this slate, Minnesota is heavily favored against the Coyotes, so good spot.
Goalie
Juuse Saros – Nashville Predators – $8,100 – Saros has been much better as of late, with double-digits DraftKings points in five of his last six games. He draws a six total game tonight against the hapless Ducks.
3/12 NHL Best Bet
Carolina (-110) – DraftKings – 1 Unit
