Top Expensive Line

Tampa Bay One – Brayden Point, Steven Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov

The hapless Maple Leafs have been free-falling for a while now and things are not looking up tonight. Toronto has a sub .500 record over their last ten games. Tampa Bay has been the polar opposite, winning eight of their last ten and shooting up the standings as they look to recapture last year’s regular-season form. The Lightning is one of the biggest winners of the NHL’s trade deadline, adding the likes of Blake Coleman and others for next to nothing. Nikita Kucherov and the company come into this matchup -180 favorites with a healthy 3.72 implied goal total. I like them a lot more than slumping Washington, the other expensive favorite on this slate.

Top Value Line

Nashville Three – Craig Smith, Kyle Turris, Rocco Grimaldi

It is rare that you have a pair of third liners on the first power-play unit, but that it the case here. Craig Smith has been shooting up a ton lately and is the priority skater of the three linemates. Fortunately, none of the three are priced appropriately, opening up significant value. Nashville is a massive -290 favorite with a 4.20 implied goal total, both easily slate highs. In cash games, you will need a piece of the Predators. Given the power play correlation and savings that this line provides, you can also add in Roman Josi, who is likely to be one of the most popular players on the slate.
