Top Point Per Dollar Line “DraftKings”

Washington Power Play One Three Man “Alex Ovechkin, T.J. Oshie, John Carlson “ Potential Add-Ons: Nicklas Backstrom, Jakub Vrana

Alex Ovechkin has the second highest goal-scoring odds on the slate. T.J. Oshie is not having his best season but comes in dirt cheap. We also get a fair price on John Carlson. As a result, I like targeting this trio in larger tournaments in what should be a contrarian spot.

Top Point Per Dollar Line “FanDuel”

Calgary Two “Matthew Tkachuk, Elias Lindholm, Dillon Dube”

Once again this line is extremely cheap, particularly given their matchup against the lowly Ottawa Senators. After smashing the Sens 7-3 earlier this week, the Flames should look forward to trying to pick up exactly where they left off.

Top Point Per Dollar Line “DraftKings”

Carolina Power Play One “Sebastian Aho, Andrei Svechnikov, Vincent Trocheck, Dougie Hamilton”

I really hate just how scattered the talent is across the Hurricanes’ three lines. As a result, targeting the power play is the best way to try to grab a number of their best skaters. However, against a team like Detroit, there’s always the possibility of being able to pour it on. All of the aforementioned skaters work well as individual plays and this can be condensed down to a two or three man.

Top Point Per Dollar Line “FanDuel”

Calgary Two “Matthew Tkachuk, Andrew Mangiapane, Mikael Backlund”

We get a discount on the Flames second line against our favorite target, the dreadful Ottawa Senators. If memory serves me correct, the Senators trolled us last time around in this same matchup. This time around, positive regression should kick in.
