Decent slate here that can be exploited in certain ways. I will give my 2 favorite stacks that are fairly boom or bust, but in hockey you have to stay strong on your convictions. Remember to stack, stick to your guns, like and subscribe us on all social platforms, and to get those helmets up!
Correlated Snipe #1 – Michael Rasmussen – Dylan Larkin – Lucas Raymond
The Wings are as desperate as can be and get to play the Ottawa Senators here on the road. Ottawa’s goaltending has been shotty, and their defense legitimately bad. Not only is their defense bad, they are also seriously injured. This is a good spot here with Lucas Raymond being very hot, Michael Rasmussen earning a big promotion, and Dylan Larkin being Mr Reliable. These guys also all correlate on the top powerplay unit as well. Moritz Seider can always be added in these stacks as well if you want to add a 4th.

Correlated Snipe #2 – Connor McDavid – Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
The Blue Jackets don’t really have the defensive speed to deal with this combination, and their penalty kill has struggled as of late. 2 big no-no’s in this match-up. Also, the Oilers being at home means that they can pick and choose when they can deploy their cheat code in McDavid. Columbus plays an open brand of pond-hockey which McDavid typically would destroy.
Grinders:
Matvei Michkov – Simply still too cheap for his talent level. Regardless of the match-up, I will always bet on talent.
Ryan O’Reilly – The role and the match-up is why I am going here. Ryan O’Reilly has goal scoring upside and plays a ton of minutes.
Patrik Laine – Scored in his first game back, and Montreal should be up against Nashville’s back-up goalie. Get ahead of the curve on Laine’s price-point. Take the discount, they’re giving it to us.
