11/9 NHL – Main Slate

Top Three Lines

Colorado One – Nathan McKinnon, Jonas Donskoi, and either Matt Calvert or Andre Burakovsy/Nazem Kazri “power play”

This line was absolute fire the other night and should simply overmatch a poor Columbus team at home. Nathan McKinnon left early the other night but should be alright and back in the lineup after a “maintenance day”. His linemates still haven’t received proper price bumps for their increase in the role. Historically, this team has been dominant at home and I would definitely expect an Avalanche win. I think the two-man of Nathan McKinnon and Jonas Donskoi is the key here as Donskoi’s price helps enable McKinnon and they share power play correlation. From there you can add on as you like.

Pittsburgh Two – Evgeni Malkin, Bryan Rust, Alex Galchenyuk, Justin Schultz

Pittsburgh comes in a -210 favorite at the time of writing. The Blackhawks have been horrific on the road this season and there is no reason that trend should not continue here. My two favorite individual plays are Sidney Crosby and Justin Schultz. With Kris Letang out, Justin Schultz has stepped up to quarterback the power play and provides us with a good source of value. Schultz correlates on even strength with the line mentioned above. The second line is incredibly cheap so they can be used as a salary saver along with a higher-end line listed or under the honorable mentions. If you know anything about Bryan Rust all this guy does is stand in front of the net. It looks like his primary hockey approach has been working out so far since his return a week ago.

Carolina One – Sebastian Aho, Andrei Svechnikov, Warren Foegele “punt”, Dougie Hamilton

The other night I had higher expectations for this line. Dougie Hamilton had a great night including a goal, and Sebastian Aho scored as well. Andrei Svechnikov busted as big chalk, particularly on FanDuel. Carolina heads into Ottawa a -190 favorite and should be able to bounce back. Because this line is cheap, I recommend adding the high floor Dougie Hamilton to the mix. As they just burned people the other night they should come in fairly low owned so best played in tournaments.

Honorable Mentions: Toronto One, Montreal One
