Top Two Lines Montreal Canadiens One – Tomas Tatar, Philip Danault, Brendan Gallagher This line has been on a roll especially Winger Brendan Gallagher who alone has five goals and four assists this month. All three players play on Montreal’s second power-play unit. The Montreal Canadiens will be entering Rogers Place to face off against the slumping Oilers who will be on the second half of a back-to-back. Carolina Hurricanes One – Andrei Svenchnikov, Jordan Staal, Warren Foegele Svech scored his second goal in as many games in style, pulling off yet another lacrosse-style goal! Both Foegele and Staal provide viable salary relief and Jordan plays alongside Andrei on Carolina’s top power-play unit. They will be at home against a Panthers team who played in a 7-4 barn burner against the Stars less than 24 hours prior. Carolina, in general, is heating up and this line is flying under the radar and each player is bringing value to the line. Foegele is also on a mini tear himself scoring four points in his last three games and Staal has twelve shots and three points in his past TWO GAMES!
