2/19 NHL Main Slate of Games – Beginning 6 p.m. ET
*All odds and player pricing below have been obtained from DraftKings and are accurate as of the time of writing*
Toronto Maple Leafs (-295) at Chicago Blackhawks (+245) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total
Winnipeg Jets (+110) at New Jersey Devils (-130) – 6 Projected Goal Total
Columbus Blue Jackets (+115) at Arizona Coyotes (-135) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total
2/19 NHL Favorite Popular Line
Arizona One – “Barrett Hayton ($4,100), Clayton Keller ($5,900), Nick Schmaltz ($5,500)“
It’s time to do your best attempt at a howl. They are not a usual sight anywhere on the Hot Shot. However, tonight it s time to fire up the Coyote’s top line! Arizona are -135 money line home favorites tonight “yes, favorites you heard right”. Unbelievably, the top line is tied for first among all NHL lines in SATF over the last ten games. The Blue Jackets are in the top five in the NHL for most goals allowed in the NHL. Toronto might be more popular due to reputation and that game taking place earlier. However, we’re sticking with Arizona!
10-Day Sample Size – SATF “accounts for all shots including blocked and missed shots”
2/19 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line
New Jersey Two – “Nico Hischier ($6,400), Jesper Bratt ($6,100), Ondrej Palat ($4,800)”
New Jersey Two will not be anyone’s top choice to begin their lineup with. This may be the game that Conor Hellebuyck returns in net for the Jets. There is only a six total for this game. However, the Devil’s second line has a lot going for them. Salary wise they can be jammed in alongside Arizona One listed up top with plenty of salary left over. As you can see from the graphic above, they have certainly not been slouches. They have been seventh in the NHL in SATF over the last ten games.
Defenseman and Goalie
Defenseman
Juuso Valimaki – Arizona – $3,500 – With Jakob Chychrun on the trade block and sitting up, Valimaki has received a big bump in terms of role. However, his price has not climbed accordingly. For the price of a budget defenseman pop that man in your lineup!
Goalie
Connor Ingram – Arizona Coyotes – $7,800 – With Karel Vejmelka in the net on Saturday, it will be Connor Ingram in net for Arizona on Sunday night. Ingram has had double-digit DraftKings points in ten straight games. Columbus should pepper him with enough shots that he can have a decent save total as well as grab the win here.
2/19 NHL Best Bet
New Jersey/Winnipeg – O6 – DraftKings – 1 Unit – 6.01% EV in the Sharp Model with a projected model total of 6.52.
