Top Two GPP Lines

Fanduel – Florida One – Aleksander Barkov, Evgenii Dadonov, Jonathan Huberdeau

Ottawa has had fairly distinct home/road splits this season and presents a plus matchup for the Florida top line. As of the time of writing, the Panthers come in a heavy -210 favorite and should be good for multiple goals here. Rather than target a depth line, I would just stick with Florida One. They have been the third most productive line in the NHL this season, combining for 23 full line goals. The top line also has full power play correlation. If you don’t want to spend up on all three, I would make Evgeni Dadonov the odd man out. Dadonov’s recent production has been nothing to write home about.

DraftKings – Washington Two – Evgeny Kuznetsov, T.J. Oshie, Jacob Vrana

This line is extremely cheap on DraftKings where Evgeny Kuznetsov is $5,800, T.J. Oshie is $5,000, and Jakub Vrana is $5,500. Those prices don’t measure up to their recent production. Oshie has three goals over his last two games, Vrana has been the team’s player of the month, and Kuznetsov is averaging over a point per game this season. As a -160 favorite in Columbus, tonight certainly shouldn’t be too imposing as far as road games go.

Nathan MacKinnon – Over 0.5 Assists – I don’t think this is a huge upside game for Colorado, but it’s hard to bet against Nathan Mac grabbing at least an assist.

John Carlson – Over 4.5 Fantasy Points – We might as well put our money behind the best offensive defenseman in the NHL right now.
