11/14 NHL – Main Slate

Top Three Lines

Florida One – Aleksander Barkov, Evgenii Dadonov, and Jonathan Huberdeau, Aaron Ekblad “Add-On”

Following a 4-0 home loss to the Avalanche, the Winnipeg Jets will travel to South Florida to play visitor to the Panthers. While this Panthers team has a variety of offensive options, it makes sense to turn to the top line as they will likely draw some of the weakest defensive matchups. Sasha Barkov has five goals in his last six games, Jonathan Huberdeau has been hot all year with 24 points in 18 games, and Evgenii Dadonov is averaging roughly a point per game. On DraftKings, this line is too cheap, with Huberdeau the most expensive at $7,000. That will be where I play them. Aaron Ekblad is hot and can be another pairing with the trio for only $4,900. They are priced more appropriately on FanDuel where Barkov is $8,300, Huberdeau $7,600 and Dadonov $6,300. On that site, if looking for Panthers exposure, I would rather take a chance with a one off Mike Hoffman for $5,600.

Colorado One – Nathan McKinnon, Joonas Donskoi, Matt Calvert, Cale Makar “Power Play Add-On with McKinnon and Donskoi”

This line is absolute fire right now and presents us with a significant bargain on FanDuel where Joonas Donskoi is $4,900 and Matt Calvert is $3,900. That said, there is no question who the best player on this line and I would say Nathan McKinnon is also the top player on the slate and a cash game staple. He has been absolutely out of this world and has a nice little matchup with an Oilers team that just got blown up 6-3 the other night by the Sharks. Over the last week they have allowed similar outings to both the Panthers and the Blues. The Oilers will likely try to hard match McKinnon with Connor McDavid who is every bit as good defensively as on the other end. However, Nathan Mac is just on another level right now and on FanDuel this is the top stack point per dollar. Cale Makar makes for a good correlation add on if looking to spend some of that extra money. The rookie is proving to live up to his gaudy expectations so far while stepping into the hole left by Tyson Barrie’s offseason exit.

Tampa Bay One – Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point, and Tyler Johnson

The Rangers picked up a big win the other night in the Garden buoyed by a pair of Kappo Kakko goals. However, now they face a big road test against last year’s regular season powerhouse, the Tampa Bay Lightning. This game should feature a number of goals on both sides and makes for an interesting tournament game stack. Tampa Bay is a slate high -250 favorite at the time of writing and should dictate the best possible matchups for their top line. On FanDuel, Tyler Johnson is listed as a center so I would just play the two man of Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point over there. I think given how hard people chase Vegas lines that Tampa will be the chalk on both sites.

Nathan McKinnon > Darnell Nurse – Shots on Goal plus Blocks – Darnell who? How could I pick any other individual play over this monster? The other night, Nathan McKinnon had ten shots on goal in 14 minutes time before leaving. With no Mikko Rantanen or Gabe Landeskog around, he is even more important.

Connor Hellebuyck – Over 31.5 Saves – I don’t think that the Jets get Connor Hellebuyck the win. However, I do think that ends up he facing a lot of shots in South Beach. This is similar to the Robin Lehner play vs. Toronto the other night.
