Top Line

Dallas One – Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, Alexander Radulov

For our New Year’s Day slate, we have a one-game showdown slate centering around this year’s edition of the Winter Classic. It will be held open-air in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl. If looking to stack a full line, I would turn towards the Dallas top line. Nashville still has a reputation of being a solid defensive team but that hasn’t exactly been the case this year with 127 goals allowed on the season. A large part of the explanation behind this defensive downturn has been an uncharacteristically bad year for goaltender Pekka Rinne. Nevertheless, it makes sense to turn towards the Dallas side of this matchup given that they have the most talented line in the game, the goalie is much better formed in net and home-ice advantage.

Top Two Lines

Edmonton One – Connor McDavid, James Neal, Zach Kassian

Unfortunately, as of the time of writing, it looks as if the Edmonton lines will be split up again. Hopefully, that will change at morning skate and we can get the Connor McDavid/Leon Draisaitl pairing that we all yearn for. However, I still like this current top line and there is the added benefit of some salary savings built-in. The Rangers have allowed at least three goals in six of their last seven games and travel on the road to Western Canada. Because Zach Kassian loses the luster that he previously had for much of the season as the third wheel of the McDavid/Draisaitl pairing, you can perhaps opt to run a power play-oriented line instead of with McDavid, James Neal, and Draisaitl.

Tampa Bay One – Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point, Ondrej Palat

It is not hard to see goals on both sides of this game. Between Tampa Bay and Buffalo, this has one of the higher totals of the night with a couple of teams certainly capable of bringing the offense. The Lightning comes in favored but don’t overlook the Buffalo top line as well as they will be much lower owned. You can also pair Tampa Bay with Jack Eichel if not looking to full-stack. That said, Buffalo has been in freefall mode lately, so I would lean a bit heavier on the Tampa side, but hedge both. Tampa hasn’t really been at their best all season but you just can’t overlook what they are capable of. Prior to the letdown against Detroit, the Lightning had put up eleven goals in their previous two games.

Patrice Bergeron/David Pastrnak/Kyle Palmieri – Over 2.5 Points – This style bet has been consistent money recently. This game isn’t on the main slate but either way, you have to like the Bruins top line against the “lowly and pathetic” Devils.

Connor McDavid/Leon Draisaitl/Artemi Panarin – Over 2.5 Points – This combination just flowed as it came together. You couldn’t imagine choosing anyone else if picking three skaters between these two teams.

Top Two Lines

Cash – Tampa Bay One – Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point, Ondrej Palat

Very few people were on Tampa Bay last night, which is good, because it was the second line which ended up doing all of the work. However, if choosing just one, it still makes the most sense to turn to the top line which has been the fourth most productive line in the NHL over the last seven games. During that span, the Tampa Bay top-line sports a 70% GF, boosted by a whopping 130 SATF and 68.1% SAT%; so they are getting a lot of opportunities and piling up shots. The Lightning is a huge -360 favorite with a high 4.42 total and should be the focus of your cash games. In the alternate, you can still turn to the second line consisting of Steven Stamkos, Alex Killorn, and Anthony Cirelli, if you wish. I would suggest exposure to both lines if possible as there is no better matchup in the NHL than hosting the Red Wings.

GPP – Boston One – Patrice Bergeron, David Pastrnak, Brad Marchand

This line has quietly kept its consistency despite what has not been Boston’s best stretch of the season. With more attention on the Tampa Bay top line due to matchup and price, the B’s top line should go a bit lower owned than one might expect on a six-game slate. Patrice Bergeron is on a streak of three consecutive games with two goals, so he is absolutely on fire. Pasta is on a five-game point streak with five assists in his last two games alone. Finally, Brad Marchand has six points in his last two games. As has been a lesson at times this season, be sure to never sleep on the Boston Bruins. For what it’s worth, I also like the over on their projected 3.32 goal total. They should be able to smash Buffalo on home ice.

David Pastrnak/Patrice Bergeron/Jack Eichel – Over 2.5 Points – Between 2/3 of the Boston top line and Jack Eichel, this should reach three points one way or the other. You can also turn to Tampa Bay game but then you’re forced to used someone like Dylan Larkin instead of Eichel.

Victor Hedman – Over 3.5 Fantasy Points – Victor Hedman has been an absolute beast lately and couldn’t ask for a better matchup.

Top Two Lines

Florida One – Aleksander Barkov, Jonathan Huberdeau, Evgeni Dadonov

The Florida Panthers will get the absolute juiciest matchup on the board, playing at home against the Detroit Red Wings. It was nice while the lines were split to be able to turn to a red hot Noel Acciari for some salary savings. If you believe the hot streak lives on, go for it. However, the primary top line is reunited and all three skaters should be able to capitalize on the line change. That seems like the best way to eat what should be Florida chalk. The three top-line skaters also share a correlation on the first power-play unit. Florida has a slate high 4.2 projected goal total and is a -290 favorite, which is extremely high for NHL standards. I would definitely turn to them in cash games and think that they make for a strong building block in tournaments as well.

Toronto One – Auston Matthews, Mitchell Marner, Zach Hyman

Last night, it was newly formed Toronto second line that had the better night and this line busted. However, this line is the more talented of the two and should be able to eat in a pace up matchup with the New York Rangers. Both teams come in on the second night of a back to back. The Leafs will be able to head home for this one, where they can dictate the matchups. It seems like the spot that the Auston Matthews and Mitchell Marner driven pairing can find a way to go off. Toronto has the second-highest implied goal total on the slate at 3.91 and are a decent -180 favorite. The Rangers are riding high after a big home upset of Carolina, but they will likely come back down to earth here.

Jimmy Howard – Over 28.5 Saves – I’d think Florida will drop at least 32-35 shots or so minimum, making this a good bet.

Auston Matthews – Over 0.5 Goals – Auston Matthews did not light the lamp last night, but lightning does not often strike twice.
