Monday, November 26th Stack Picks for the small 5 game slate tonight.
TIER ONE
Florida Panthers — Barkov, Dadanov, Hoffman … Florida is drawing the Devils off a game in Tampa last night where they got banged up and shredded defensively. Florida’s top line is in a great spot tonight and Barkov should be a 70% owned player as he skates with the white hot Mike Hoffman.
Columbus Blue jackets — Du Bois, Atkinson, Panarin
Washington Capitals — Backstrom, Ovechkin, Wilson … Keep an eye on Capitals lines as Kuznetsov was back at morning skate today and they could shuffle things around. Ovechkin is the guy to get exposure to tonight.
TIER TWO
New York Islanders — Barzal, Bailey, Beauvillier … The Isles will be on their A+ game tonight for head coach Barry Trotz against his former team the Caps, and a game that I like to have plenty of offense in it. The Isles top line offers a nice salary relief and should produce a few good scoring chances tonight.
Columbus Blue Jackets — Jenner, Foligno, Anderson,
Toronto Maple Leafs — Tavares, Hyman, Marner
LONGSHOT
New Jersey Devils — Zajac, Wood, Vatanen
FADE GAME
Ottawa at New York Rangers — Neither team is great defensively but this is my game to fade on a small 5 game slate and hope no single line has a massive upside game. We have some teams (Fla, Wash, Clb) who are in good spots as well that can equal the production from either of these teams and I think both goalies here make nice leverage plays in larger field MME tournaments.
