3/5 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*
Detroit Red Wings (+105) at Philadelphia Flyers (-125) – 6 Projected Goal Total
Montreal Canadiens (+235) at Vegas Golden Knights (-280) – 6 Projected Goal Total

3/5 NHL Favorite Popular Line
New Jersey Two – “Nico Hischier ($6,900), Tomas Tatar ($3,800), Dawson Mercer ($4,800)
Dawson Mercer has been highlighted in a couple of other recent articles here at Win Daily and for good reason. Individually at $4,800, he remains criminally underpriced. While New Jersey Two has been outperforming its metrics a bit, the line still has strong peripheral numbers as of late. Their 89 SATF over the last ten games might only be considered “above-average” but they have been making the most of their shot attempts. They have eight goals during the span, good for a five-way tie for fourth in the NHL. The matchup here is solid as the Devils are a whopping -315 money-line favorite in a 6.5 total game in Arizona.
10-Day Sample Size – Goals Scored
3/5 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line
Arizona One – “Nick Schmaltz ($6,200), Clayton Keller ($7,000), Barrett Hayton ($4,100)”
I don’t mind rolling the game stack here if using the Devils or just simply using this line if not. Arizona One’s production both actual and peripheral is top-notch as of late. As you can see from the graphic above, they are currently tied for first in goals scored over the last ten games. The Devils have allowed enough action on their end of as late with 4-3, 3-4, and 7-5 scores in three of their last four games.
Defenseman and Goalie
Defenseman
Justin Schultz- Seattle – $3,400 – Power-play role with a $3,400 price tag. This is a fairly rough slate as fat as any “value” goes at defenseman. I am not thrilled about pairing him with Georgiev but don’t expect any shutouts either.
Goalie
Alexandar Georgiev – Colorado – $7,600 – He had been in absolutely phenomenal form prior to his last outing one day before on Saturday. He was pulled from the Stars game early so he has a good shot of grabbing the start here. However, that will be a situation to monitor. I think Jake Allen may be my backup option with Carter Hart in such poor form.
3/5 NHL Best Bet
Detroit (+105) – DraftKings – 1 Unit – Let’s take the road dogs and plus money against a struggling Carter Hart.
