Top Line

Colorado One – Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog, Andre Burakovsky/Vladislav Namestnikov

Since this is a small slate, we will focus on one primary line for both cash games and tournaments. The Washington Capitals game starts at lock and many people will just play them for the certainty that they provide, as well as the ability to watch/follow the game. However, even on the road, the Flyers are a much tougher foe as of late than the Ducks. If you can hold your horses for a couple of hours, I like the Avalanche a lot more. Once again, be sure to check in on the status of Andre Burakovsky, but if he is back in, it will provide another boost. Colorado has a 3.52 implied goal total and is big -275 home favorites.

In a cash game, you can use Nathan MacKinnon by himself and pair him with Alex Ovechkin and that will probably be the most common way to go. However, in tournaments at least, I would roll at least a two-man stack with Landeskog and if Burakovsky returns, likely the full line.
