Correlated Snipe #1 – Leo Carlsson – Alex Killorn – Troy Terry
Pavel Mintyukov is always viable when stacking these Ducks. The Ducks find themselves in Chicago to take on the pitiful Blackhawks. What I like about this stack on such a big slate is the affordability mixed with the upside. Ownership is not really a big deal on such a giant slate, but in no way are the Ducks going to be popular at all. Leo Carlsson vs Connor Bedard is the number 1 vs the number 2 pick in the draft. Chicago in my opinion is just the worse team than Anaheim, and they have the much worse goaltending. The Ducks just have the way better top 6 forward depth with a scorer like Terry and a smart veteran in Killorn.

Correlated Snipe #2 – John Tavares – Mitchell Marner – Morgan Rielly
The Ontario bowl is an interesting rivalry. Marner has really been turning it on as of late, which happened after they switched him to John Tavares’ line. Tavares has to make up for his lack of effort in the OTL against Boston. Morgan Rielly is simply the Leafs top defenseman, and with the injuries and lack of current depth, he has to play a ton and be elite. This has the ability to be a high scoring game due to the fact that Ottawa has had terrible goaltending for some time now. Toronto may have the highest upside on the slate of any of the teams, and I am taking the cheaper of the top 2 lines that correlates on the top powerplay unit.
Grinder #1 – Yegor Sharangovich – Top line and PP unit for the Flames. He is at home against the terribly underwhelming Minnesota Wild.
