2/7 NHL Bets
Alexis Lafreniere – U 0.5 Points (-135) – 0.5 Units
This guy may simply never live up to his lofty draft billing. Either way he has 30 points in 50 games, so he is far from a point per game scorer. Perhaps Lafreniere may be heating up as he has goals in two straight games. However, prior to that he went pointless in five of his prior six games. Rather than score in three straight games, the most likely outcome is that the Rangers former top draft pick reverts to his prior form and his point streak only lasts two games.
Jamie Benn – U 0.5 Points (-135) – 0.5 Units
Jamie Benn is not seeing too many minutes on the Star’s third line usually averaging about 15 minutes max. He has 30 points in 49 games so similar production to Alexis Lafreniere above. Over his last ten games he has four points. However, I wouldn’t expect Dallas to control much of the puck tonight. Particularly given his limited role, Benn will have to make the most of his opportunities in order to get on the board tonight. The old man just isn’t what he used to be back in the days he and Tyler Seguin used to spearhead the Stars.
Seth Jones – U 0.5 Points (-130) – 1 Unit
Jones only has 15 points across his 35 games played so far this season. It must be noted overall he has been better for fantasy purposes as of late. That said, he still only has scored actual points in three of his last twelve games. This under simply put should be for much shorter odds, especially considering that the Blackhawks are heavy underdogs in a low total (5.5) projected goal matchup. For this one, let’s throw down a full unit and be thankful that there’s such good value on the under on Jones’s points. DraftKings must still remember his Columbus days.
