Top Two Lines

Both Sites – Toronto One – John Tavares, Mitchell Marner, Zach Hyman

Tonight we only have a four-game slate so let’s focus on a couple of core lines to build off of. The other night it was Auston Matthews scoring all the goals for the Maple Leafs, while this line did all of the dirty work. They were unfortunate not to add to their recent totals, but Toronto One is still shooting the puck a ton. John Tavares has hit the five-shot DraftKings bonus in three of his last four games, Mitchell Marner is riding a five-game point streak, and Zach Hyman helps provide salary relief at $4,800 on DraftKings and $4,400 on FanDuel. Toronto is a -170 favorite against a Rangers team that can’t get out of their own way on defense. New York has allowed nine goals over their last two games and this will not be a great opportunity for them to bounce back.

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

Once again, this line is criminally priced on DraftKings. Evgeny Kuznetsov is $5,400, T.J. Oshie is $5,000, and Jakob Vrana is $5,100. I don’t know how you don’t play them there. The Devils have had a somewhat soft schedule recently since the Taylor Hall trade, but that doesn’t mean that they have suddenly improved. Not surprisingly, the Caps are a decent -160 favorite and should be a good bet for a few goals here. The second line is not only cheap but the 13th overall ranked line in the NHL over the last ten days. During that span, they have 71.4 GF% and 63 SATF, which has culminated in five full line goals.
