11/8 NHL – Main Slate

Friday’s slate is only three games so I would suggest playing light and sticking to single entry contests. It is wise to live to fight another day. There is a late lock at 7:30 PM ET which will provide some additional time to double check lines and goalies.

Top Expensive Line

Boston One – Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, David Pastrnak

It would be very easy to just list Boston One and Edmonton One and call it a day as far as an article goes. They will be the two most popular lines on the small slate but you cannot afford both. I think that you need to stick with Boston in cash games as they come in a much higher favorite (-250). Until last slate’s one goal performance, Boston One had not busted in quite awhile. You could always try to mix and match one of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl with some combination of Boston and that might be one way to be different in a tournament. I think Boston will get higher ownership than Edmonton does so that would be a driving force for using them in cash and using Edmonton as more of a GPP play.

Top Cheap Line

New Jersey One – Taylor Hall, Kyle Palmieri with add ons Nico Hischier “even strength”, Jack Hughes “power play”, and Sami Vatanen “power play”

So, it’s a three game slate. I mentioned Boston up top and considering Detroit against them does not seem wise. It would be reasonable to expect a tight, highly contested game between Winnipeg and Vancouver and right now that the odds of an under 6.5 total in that game is at -120. Las Vegas has the under 6.5 total for the New Jersey/Edmonton game at -115 but I would expect those odds to rise throughout the day. This has the makings of a shootout so I wouldn’t mind launching a game stack for GPPS. The two centers mentioned above, Nick Hischier and Jack Hughes, are incredibly cheap on both sites. They are both red hot right now so you can’t go wrong. Sami Vatanen is another potential pairing, as he is underpriced and fills a defense slot. Nevertheless, Taylor Hall and Kyle Palmieri are the two key plays here.

David Pastrnak – Over 5.5 Fantasy Points – Even on a down night for Boston last time out, he still scored a goal. Until he slows down just keep eating bowl after bowl of Pasta.

Connor McDavid – Over 4.5 Fantasy Points – This should be a good opportunity for “McGod” to put on a show for the home crowd. The Devils will be susceptible to goals on the second night of a back to back, particularly after surrendering five to the Flames last night.
