Top Point Per Dollar Line “DraftKings”

Washington Power Play One Three Man “Alex Ovechkin, T.J. Oshie, John Carlson “ Potential Add-Ons: Nicklas Backstrom, Jakub Vrana

Alex Ovechkin has the second highest goal-scoring odds on the slate. T.J. Oshie is not having his best season but comes in dirt cheap. We also get a fair price on John Carlson. As a result, I like targeting this trio in larger tournaments in what should be a contrarian spot.

Top Point Per Dollar Line “FanDuel”

Calgary Two “Matthew Tkachuk, Elias Lindholm, Dillon Dube”

Once again this line is extremely cheap, particularly given their matchup against the lowly Ottawa Senators. After smashing the Sens 7-3 earlier this week, the Flames should look forward to trying to pick up exactly where they left off.
