Top Two Lines

New York One – Mika Zibanejad, Chris Kreider, Pavel Buchnevich

One of nature’s unstoppable forces, the Rangers top line refuses to slow their roll. Last night, Mika Zibanejad put up another three-point effort, with three blocked shots and five shots on goal for both sets of DraftKings bonuses as well. The line has nine full line goals over their last ten games ranking them second in the NHL over that duration. The Rangers are a -170 favorite despite being on the back to back, complete with a 3.66 implied goal total. A weak schedule as of late has allowed San Jose to mask it’s injury problems, but their shortcomings may come to the forefront tonight.

Las Vegas One – Mark Stone, Max Pacioretty, William Karlsson

This line is finally the Las Vegas top line, despite its core being so in theory for much longer. I am still waiting on a larger sample size of data regarding the addition of William Karlsson alongside Mark Stone and Max Pacioretty as opposed to Chandler Stephenson or Paul Statsny. Nonetheless, I’d expect the end results to be good. The Panthers lost a shootout the other night in Los Angeles 5-4 and continue their western road trip against the Knights. Florida has allowed plenty of goals on the road this season, and we could be in for another high scoring affair. The Golden Knights 3.79 implied goal is the second-highest on the slate, behind only Colorado’s 3.85.
