11/2 NHL – Main Slate

Top Three Lines

Boston One – David Pastrnak, Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron

On this slate, you will begin your cash lines with the much heralded trio that is the Boston top line, at least on FanDuel. On DraftKings with some of the value lines listed below you might opt for more balance or simply a Pasta one off. Nevertheless, the Bruins are projected for a slate high 4.33 goals and come in a very heavy -330 favorite. Individually, Pasta is the top play as he comes into the night leading the NHL with 11 goals so far this season. Next, I would turn to Brad Marchand based on the consistency he has shown during the Bruins early run. However, I don’t think you try to split this line apart in tournaments as they have the potential to connect for quite a few top line goals in this juicy matchup and you will want all of their collective points.

Carolina Two – Sebastian Aho, Andrei Svechnikov, Warren Foegele “punt but not necessary”, recommended add on Dougie Hamilton, Jake Gardiner “another potential punt”

Last night both Hurricanes lines ate as they cruised to a slate high seven goals. Projected for 3.69 goals tonight, they should produce once again, at home against the defensively inept Devils who are also on a back to back. The awful MacKenzie Blackwood will be in goal for New Jersey with his .876 save %. The newly minted Carolina Two line looks like the heart and soul of this team. Sebastian Aho finally lit it up with a three point night, and Andrei Svechnikov continued his rampant pace last night with a goal and an assist. At minimum, I would use those two.

If adding on, you can either run the complete second line with Warren Foegele if needed, or run an alternative three man combining Aho and Svechnikov with Dougie Hamilton or Jake Gardiner. Hamilton’s production speaks for itself so if you have the money he is the best option to weave in. Both defenseman receive power play time thus enhancing the correlation. On DraftKings specifically, it might be wise to use Carolina as a value piece to fit a second more expensive line as they are still simply too cheaply priced. If you need more savings, the Carolina top line of Jordan Staal, Teuvo Teravainen, and Nino Niederreiter, is also in play.

Florida One – Aleksander Barkov, Evgenii Dadonov, Jonathan Huberdeau

This pick will likely bring a smile to Javi’s face but following getting smashed 7-3 by the aforementioned Carolina Hurricanes, the Red Wings will be taking their talents to South Beach on a back to back. The Panthers are projected for 4.11 goals as a -270 favorite and much like Boston above there is no question which line to use. The top pairing of Aleksander Barkov, Evgenii Dadonov, and Jonathan Huberdeau features three of the team’s four top healthy players “Mike Hoffman the exception”. All three also star on the top power play unit so the trio has full correlation throughout. I don’t think you need to add on any defensemen or anything here as if you have the money to pay up for Aaron Ekblad, you might as well find the extra money for someone like Dougie Hamilton. Much like Carolina, we get a huge discount on this team on DraftKings for whatever reason in terms of pricing.

Honorable Mention: Las Vegas Two – Mark Stone, Max Pacioretty, Paul Stastny, Nate Schmidt “Add on for Power Play”
