Top Expensive Lines

Colorado One – Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, Gabriel Landeskog

There are a number of high totals all across the board tonight. One of my favorite ways to go if paying up is with the Colorado Avalanche’s top line. The Avalanche is a -210 favorite with a hefty 3.86 implied goal total. Aaron Dell has been much better this season in the net but this will be a tall ask for him. Since being reunited this line has been crushing as expected, to the tune of eight GF over their last ten games with 115 SATF during that span.

Toronto One – Auston Matthews, Mitchell Marner, Zach Hyman

Auston Matthews put up his second career hat trick the other night and the whole line has been on fire. They have put up 10 GF over their last ten games with a league-high 140 SATF within that period. Toronto comes in a -160 home favorite against the Calgary Flames with a 3.59 implied goal total. It feels like chasing a little bit, but they could be in for another big night.

Top Value Lines

Florida Two – Vincent Trocheck, Brett Connolly, Noel Acciari

The Florida Panthers are a substantial -175 home favorite with a 3.69 implied goal total. Most attention will go towards the top line. However, over the last ten games, this line has nine GF, good for third in the NHL during that span. Better yet, their 134 SATF during that span is second to only Toronto’s top line.

Washington Two – Evgeny Kuznetsov, T.J. Oshie, Jakob Vrana

The Capitals second line busted on us the other night, but the price is still very fair, particularly on DraftKings. Washington has the highest implied total at the slate at 4.24 and most of the attention and ownership will be on Alex Ovechkin and the top line. This line still has seven GF over the last ten games so it is not like they have been underperforming by any means.
