10/27 NHL – Main Slate
Top Four Lines
Boston One – David Pastrnak, Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron– Despite being on a back to back it will be the second straight day this line makes the list. The Rangers leaky defense should allow the Bruins to continue their winning ways and put at least a few goals on the board. When the Bruins score those goals, you don’t have to look too far to figure out which line is the probable source.
San Jose Two – Evander Kane, Tomas Hertl, Kevin Labanc – This line has full power play correlation and has been absolute fire so far this year. They get a juicy matchup with a young Ottawa team that they should smack up. If you want to build from there, you can also add Erik Karlsson who also has double correlation at the moment. I like this line more on FanDuel where they are cheaper.
Chicago One – Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Alex DeBrincat – The top three players on this team are all united now on the Blackhawks top line. They will look to bounce back after a disappointing game against the Hurricanes yesterday in which they were shut out. I would like this spot even more if it was Jonathan Quick in net. However, this still seems like a decent bounce back spot.
Las Vegas Two – Mark Stone, Max Pacioretty, Paul Stastny
I have heavy interest in both of the top two Vegas lines as they should avoid hard matching with the Ducks top line with Getzlaf and feast on the weak defense elsewhere. If I had to choose one for tournaments, I’d lean towards the second line with some of their extra firepower. This Ducks team will be on a back to back and Vegas is always tough place for visitors for a myriad of reasons, some unsubstantiated.

David Pastrnak – Over 5.5 Fantasy Points – He only scored a goal last game so fairly mediocre for his standards nowadays, but we don’t need too much to hit this low threshold.
Bret Burns – Over 4.5 Fantasy Points – It has been a slow start for Burns but this could be a big game.
