Top Expensive Line

Colorado One – Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, Gabriel Landeskog.

There is no need to get cute on a two game slate. Build around the Colorado top line, who will hosting our favorite punching bag, the abysmal Detroit Red Wings. The Avs are a -330 favorite with a 4.33 implied goal total, which are both extreme for NHL purposes. Even if this were a ten game slate, they would likely be at the top of the rankings. In cash games, I would prioritize having all three and any tournament fade is merely to be contrarian. I think that you need a piece though no matter what the format.

Top Value Line

Florida Two – Noel Acciari, Vincent Trocheck, Brett Connolly

On FanDuel this line is just simply way too cheap. Noel Acciari is probably the stand out play at a very low $4,000 price tag on a slate that you need savings in order to fit Colorado One. He will no doubt be very popular and a staple of most cash lines on that site. On DraftKings, you can also consider the Minnesota Wild’s top line. However, the Panthers second line has been outproducing them and Florida is the road favorite. The price admittedly is not quite as appealing as it is on FanDuel but since savings are needed, they are still a strong play. The Panthers second line remains the third hottest line in the NHL over their past ten games, with nine full line goals and 131 SATF for, during that span.

Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, Dylan Larkin – Over 2.5 Points – The 2.5 point bet is down to 18/26 after a slow night on a three game slate. We should be able to bounce back here with the Colorado top line. Unfortunately, they do not allow you to mix games on this slate, so we will need to include one Red Wing.
