Sunday 6/6 NHL Slate and DFS Gameplan

Welcome back to the Hot Shot for tonight’s pair of games!

Notable Goal Scoring Odds

Note: All odds are listed +300 or below. All odds are taken from DraftKings Sportsbook, as of the time of writing.

Main Slate – Games in Time Order

Winnipeg Jets (+118) at Montreal Canadiens (-136) – 5 Projected Goal Total – Montreal Leads Series 1-0 – Tyler Toffoli (+155), Kyle Connor (+188), Brendan Gallagher (+210), Josh Anderson (+230), Nikolaj Ehlers (+230), Cole Caufield (+240), Nick Suzuki (+240), Blake Wheeler (+240), Tomas Tatar (+255), Pierre-Luc Dubois (+280), Jesperi Kotkaniemi (+285)

The first game of this series was a low scoring affair taken by Montreal 1-0. Perhaps this may help explain the money line, in combination with the game being at home in Quebec.

Montreal

Carey Price is the top play from the Canadiens. They have been winning games behind his stellar goaltending and defense. That being said, I don’t mind the second line of Tyler Toffoli, Cole Caufield, and Nick Suzuki if looking to differentiate in tournaments. A one-off Brendan Gallagher isn’t a bad idea either.

Winnipeg

As far as Winnipeg, the second line offers us some value on both sites. The top line continues to take a hit with Mark Scheifele’s suspension but it slightly offsets with the savings we can receive from his fill-in Paul Stastny.

Colorado Avalanche (-105) at Las Vegas Golden Knights (-112) – 5.5 Projected Goal Total – Nathan MacKinnon (+133), Mikko Rantanen (+155), Max Pacioretty (+165), Mark Stone (+180), Gabriel Landeskog (+220), Jonathan Marchessault (+240), Alex Tuch (+240), William Karlsson (+255), Joonas Donskoi (+260), Reilly Smith (+285), Tomas Nosek (+300)

Las Vegas was able to foster a comeback to avoid going down three games to nothing in front of their home crowd. However, their backs are still against the wall versus this impressive Colorado team.

Colorado

They finally dropped a playoff game, but either of the two top lines is a strong play.

Las Vegas

I could see the Golden Knights getting the lowest ownership on the slate. Therefore, it makes sense if looking for a take down to fade Colorado and run a heavy Vegas line.
