TOR1 (Hyman-Tavares-Marner)

The Tavares line will likely go up against the Caps’ top line skaters tonight in Toronto, and they’re very affordable on DraftKings at only $17,200. This line has been great at creating quality chances all season at 5v5, and we know the Capitals struggle to limit the chances, allowing the 2nd-most High-Danger Chances Against per 60 at 5v5, and we’ll get two members of the Leafs’ top power-play here as well, which should be at an advantage versus the Caps’ 22nd-ranked PK. The Maple Leafs will certainly be popular tonight, but with 3 viable lines to choose from and 22 teams on the slate, they shouldn’t get over 15% as a full line in large-field GPPs.

SJ2 (Donskoi-Hertl-Kane)

The Sharks’ 2nd line has cooled off after being red-hot for weeks, but they should get an excellent matchup at 5v5 that could get them back on track. With the Crosby line going up against the Sharks’ top line, that leaves the Malkin line to go up against SJ2 for the majority of the time. The Malkin line only has a 60-minute sample with Aston-Reese (13 HDCA/60), but Malkin and Kessel have been leaky with whoever they’ve played with (28.2 SCA/60, 13.4 HDCA in 457 minutes). This line is still generating chances at a very good clip (31.9 SCF/60, 14.7 HDCF/60) and they might not even be the highest-owned line on their team, making them a fun tournament stack that won’t be difficult to get over the field on.

NJ2 (Wood-Zajac-Palmieri)

The Devils will certainly get looks in tournaments tonight as any team hosting Ottawa does, but it’s hard to argue with them because of the value they provide. This line is under $15K, and while they act as the shutdown line on home ice, there isn’t a matchup we should be avoiding on the Senators, especially if the Duchene line stays in tact. If Duchene is allowed to suit up, the Zajac line will be seeing a line that is allowing over 70 Corsi Against per 60 and 31 Scoring Chances Against per 60 at 5v5. Add in some power-play time for all 3 of these guys and you get a bargain stack at under $15K on DraftKings.
