Correlated Snipe #1 – Jason Robertson – Roope Hintz – Joe Pavelski
Dallas is against an absolutely terrible team in the San Jose Sharks, that have given up on this year. The Sharks’ goaltending cannot keep being decent forever, given their career track-records and inexperience. Dallas is Dallas, they have upside although they rarely pop off; however, on a smaller slate, I would go overweight on them. Their top line has played together for the majority of the last 3 years, even on the PP1. The Stars are trending in the right direction offensively, and are fighting to win that central division. Also, a way to stack Dallas for slightly cheaper while maintaining upside is taking Logan Stankoven and whoever is on his line. Stankoven is a rookie that has out of this world upside, and a motor that is impossible for his opponents to match.

Correlated Snipe #2 – Nathan Mackinnon – Mikko Rantanen – Valeri Nichushkin
The Avalanche are against the Canadiens, and this is going to be a good spot for the Avs until it isn’t. For the better part of a decade, the Avalanche and Mackinnon have had the far superior team; also, the Canadiens surprisingly have had bad defending this year. That really is the analysis I am falling on here. Montreal is a team built around their puck movement and goal-scoring (which they still suck at), which means that their goaltending has had cracks in their armor this year as well. Colorado is desperate and knows they have to beat the Canadiens by outscoring them. Seems dumb to say, but it typically takes a bigger than normal number to beat Montreal. Colorado also thrives at home.
Grinder #1 – Luke Evangelista – The Predators are the hottest team in the NHL and this kid is a shooter. This will be Vegas’ 3rd game in 4 days, and they will be playing a random goalie with Adin Hill out. Back to backs are tough!
Bankroll Grinder – Give me the Stars -1.5, the Predators money-line, and the Avalanche money-line, for a solid 3 leg parlay.
