Snipe #1 – Mika Zibanejad – Chris Kreider
The Rangers are in Vancouver, and facing the Canucks’ backup goaltender Casey Desmith. The Canucks are coming off of a big win against the Blues, but that does not scare me. Back to backs are tough in the NHL, and the Rangers are coming off a big win against the Oilers. The Rangers are finally starting to turn the corner offensively, and I see it continuing. Vancouver is not known for their defense, and without Demko in net, they may press to play more offense. That typically results in forced plays and turnovers that lead to odd-man rushes and scoring chances. This is a very juicy spot for the Rangers.

Snipe #2 – Sidney Crosby – Jake Guentzel – Bryan Rust
The Penguins are at home against the banged up Ottawa Senators. The Senators have been bad in net and defensively, and it will only het worse. Chabot is going to be out for a month, which significantly hurts the Ottawa blueline. The Penguins have been scoring a tad more as of late, and Bryan Rust is back on the powerplay. I love how the Penguins correlate on the top line as well as the top powerplay unit. The Penguins have very high upside, and will be chalky tonight.
Grinder #1 – Jean-Gabriel Pageau – 3rd line center, 2nd powerplay unit, and 2nd penalty kill unit for the Islanders. He loves to shoot that puck, and gets tons of ice time with how many different roles he plays.
Bankroll Grinder – I am getting TOR/NSH over 6, PIT/OTT over 6.5, and VAN/NYR over 6, as a 3 leg parlay at +506. Woah!
