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.

Top Point Per Dollar Line “DraftKings”

Pittsburgh Two “Evgeni Malkin, Bryan Rust, Jason Zucker”

Did Bryan Rust really sleep with the DraftKings NHL pricing analyst’s mother? Is that true? It would be the only explanation why Pittsburgh continues to remain so underpriced. You could also roll with the Penguin’s top line, as they are also strangely discounted for what should be a high total game. However, I like the discount on Evgeni Malkin at $5,500, particularly given that he has recently awakened from his prior slumber. Throw in the aforementioned beast Mr. Rust and the cheap Jason Zucker for only $3,800 and you have yourself a bargain line. Be sure to keep an eye on the latter skater. He left Tuesday’s game early with an injury to his right leg. Nevertheless, any replacement would likely be even cheaper.

Top Point Per Dollar Line “FanDuel”

Calgary One “Matthew Tkachuk, Elias Lindholm, Andrew Mangiapane”

Remember how this goes from Sunday’s article. Senators. Not surprisingly, Calgary is a -165 favorite here. That second line with Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan isn’t a bad alternative on either site. Matthew Tkachuk is so cheap on FanDuel, that the second line is the preferred target.

Top Point Per Dollar Line “DraftKings”

Montreal One “Tyler Toffoli, Phillip Danault, Brendan Gallagher”

The Ottawa Senators really suck, they have a -34 goal differential and only nine points this season, both are NHL worsts “The differential worst by a whopping -18”. Moving forward, our NHL authors can probably just write one word, “Senators”.

Top Point Per Dollar Line “FanDuel”

Montreal 2 Two Man “Nick Suzuki, Josh Anderson”

Jonathan Drouin has been stinking it up lately, so I didn’t write this up as a full line stack. However, Drouin remains on the top power play unit, so you can add him in if you want. The two men listed above have been doing most of this line’s damage. As far as the matchup, “Senators”.

The Betting Game Plan

JVR has been real hot as of late, but is not getting any love from Vegas. He draws a nice matchup against a Rangers that is slowly falling out of playoff contention in the East.

Top Point Per Dollar Line “DraftKings”

Washington One “Alex Ovechkin, Tom Wilson, Evgeny Kuznetsov”

There is a bit of a discount here on Evgeny Kuznetsov from his FanDuel price. When combined with $5,000 Tom Wilson, it allows you to easily afford Alex Ovechkin to fill things out. Ovi has the second highest goal scoring odds on the slate behind Auston Matthews.

Top Point Per Dollar Line “FanDuel”

Arizona One “Conor Garland, Clayton Keller, Nick Schmaltz”

This is not a customary pick and the Coyotes/Kings game has a relatively low total. Nevertheless, given the pricing here, they provide a decent amount of upside and allow you salary flexibility for the rest of your build. This trio is currently red hot with eight full line goals over their last ten games.
