2/16 NHL Favorite Popular Line
Carolina One – “Sebastian Aho ($6,900), Tera Teravinen ($4,700), Seth Jarvis ($4,300)“
There is only a six total for this game. However, with the Hurricanes as -410 money line favorites, it’s safe to assume which side should bag most of those six. Carolina’s top line is currently tenth among NHL lines in SATF over the last ten games. If you want you can leave off Seth Jarvis “probably recommended” and just run this as a two-man stack.
10-Day Sample Size – SATF “accounts for all shots including blocked and missed shots”
2/16 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line
Seattle Three – “Yanni Gourde ($3,600), Eeli Tolvanen ($4,400), Oliver Bjorkstrand ($4,500)”
In terms of our salary-saver contrarian line, let’s turn to Seattle Three! They rank third in the NHL in SATF over the last ten games with 122. The Kraken are -215 money line favorites hosting the Flyers. The matchup should be solid with the Flyers’ depth lines. Overall, it makes a lot of sense.
Honorable Mention: Calgary Three – “Mikael Backlund ($5,200), Andrew Mangiapane ($4,000), Blake Coleman ($4,500)”
Defenseman and Goalie
Defenseman
Erik Gustafsson – Washington – $4,700 – Gustafsson has not done much with his elevated role to date. However, in what should be a higher-scoring matchup perhaps we can catch a big game before it happens.
Goalie
Conor Hellebuyck – Winnipeg Jets – $8,500 – Because if you have the money why not? The Jets are -190 favorites in a game there should be a fair amount of shots on goal. Hellebuyck continues to stun with his 2.41 GAA and .924 save percentage.
2/16 NHL Best Bet
Seattle/Philadelphia – U6 – DraftKings – 1 Unit – 6.01% EV in the Sharp Model with a projected model total of 5.48.
