Top Point Per Dollar Line “DraftKings”
Montreal One “Tyler Toffoli, Phillip Danault, Brendan Gallagher”
The Ottawa Senators really suck, they have a -34 goal differential and only nine points this season, both are NHL worsts “The differential worst by a whopping -18”. Moving forward, our NHL authors can probably just write one word, “Senators”.
Top Point Per Dollar Line “FanDuel”
Montreal 2 Two Man “Nick Suzuki, Josh Anderson”
Jonathan Drouin has been stinking it up lately, so I didn’t write this up as a full line stack. However, Drouin remains on the top power play unit, so you can add him in if you want. The two men listed above have been doing most of this line’s damage. As far as the matchup, “Senators”.
