11/3 NHL – Main Slate
With a small two game slate on tap, as always in these situations, I recommend entering single entry tournaments and cash games early before they fill out. Remember there is an even bigger disadvantage firing off single bullets in MME contests on such a small slate. On a limited slate like this, I will provide my top expensive line and top value line.
Top Expensive Line
Washington One – Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, T.J. Oshie, John Carlson
At minimum, the best way to utilize this line is a two man combination of Alex Ovechkin and John Carlson. They had directly contributed on each others goals more than any other combination in the NHL prior to entering the weekend. Both have incredible floors, particularly on DraftKings where Ovechkin and Carlson regularly receive the shot bonus. From there you can add on T.J. Oshie and Nicklas Backstrom as you wish. Calgary will be traveling to Washington on a back to back and the Capitals should be able to pick apart the matchups to their benefit. All four of the aforementioned skaters belong to the top power play unit, thus providing double correlation.
Top Value Line
Anaheim Two – Adam Henrique, Richard Rakell, and Jacob Silfverberg
I would consider a game stack using the Calgary top line for tournaments. However, with the Ducks a -170 favorite at the time of writing versus a Chicago team a back to back, might as well roll with a line from the other game in cash. Although Ryan Getzlaf has been hot as of late, the rest of the Anaheim top line is not too impressive. I would rather opt for the balance of the second pairing consisting of Adam Henrique, Richard Rakell, and Jacob Silfverberg. With the savings that this trio provides it should allow us to put together balanced lineups. Furthermore, Chicago has not been a good defensive team for awhile now, particularly on the road. The Ducks get an extra bump as Robin Lehner was forced to enter the game against the Kings so they will get to face the struggling Corey Crawford who was pulled in Los Angeles after giving up two quick goals.
