Correlated Snipe #1 – Sidney Crosby – Michael Bunting – Bryan Rust – Erik Karlsson
The Penguins are super easily stackable, and have a promising matchup. They basically need to win every game the rest of the way, that is the level of desperation here. These Penguins are at home and against a Sharks team that has major defensive problems. When in doubt, I will bet on Sidney Crosby and company over this trash Sharks squad. The Sharks goaltending has been inconsistent this season, and now they get to deal with Crosby and Malkin clapping shots at them all night. Michael Bunting is wanting to be Sidney Crosby’s new version of Chris Kunitz.

Correlated Snipe #2 – Brady Tkachuk – Drake Batherson
Ottawa is in a great spot catching the Blue Jackets who have been sucking very hard. The Senators suck, but have real offensive upside. The Jackets have shotty defense and inconsistent goaltending, which puts the Senators in the drivers seat to do some scoring. Game stacking is viable in tournaments here, although that is super risky. Ottawa wants to push the pace and make the Jackets play their game. Brady Tkachuk is the best player on either team, and the Senators roster just is simply better right now with the Jackets being so injured.
Grinder #1 – Tomas Tatar – Tatar has been on the Kraken’s top line and the Kraken are up against the Capitals who are on the second game of a back to back. Decent dart here in my opinion.
Bankroll Grinder – Give me the Penguins -1.5 over the craptastic Sharks, and give me over 6.5 in the DET/ARI game. Seems like a safe little 2 legger.
