Top Expensive Line

New York One – Mika Zibanejad, Chris Kreider, Pavel Buchnevich

It almost looked like this line was going to disappoint us the other night until both Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider scored goals towards the end of their game, with Zibanejad assisting on the Kreider score. It is clear that they are the heart and soul of this Rangers team right now, and they will get another plus matchup hosting the Kings. The other two games on this slate are pick ems, while the Rangers are a -180 favorite, so they should be popular. In the alternative, you can also go with Artemi Panarin who’s ownership should not be as high as it would’ve been a couple of weeks ago. I do not think that you need his linemates if going that route.

Top Value Line

Colorado Two – Nazem Kadri, Valeri Nichushkin, Andre Burakovsky

The Colorado top line will get far more ownership on this small three-game slate. However, the odds suggest that this game is a tossup and the top line is also extremely expensive. Instead, you can turn to the Colorado second line. They have had some off nights as of late, but generally, they have hit value more often than not. Understandably, teams tend to forget about the second line or downplay the attention on them, when preparing to face the Avalanche.
