STUDS
The Stud: Connor McDavid
Six goals and 10 assists during an eight-game point streak, and the Sabres can’t stop anyone (though to be fair no one can stop him when he’s on).
The Pivot: David Pastrnak
The floor and ceiling continue to be there for Pasta as the Bruins have somewhat surprised this season. Four goals (21 shots) and four assists in his last five.

The Low-Owned: Brad Marchand
Nine goals in his last 10 games and 15 points during that stretch; he’ll go overlooked with some of the other studs on the slate.
The Value: Jack Roslovic
Three goals and three assists in his last five games.
STACKS
The Full: CAR (Aho-Ehlers-Svechnikov-Stankoven)
The Bruins have allowed the sixth most goals in the league, and even if Jarvis is out, the scoring for the Hurricanes is condensed to these four.
The Mini: EDM (McDavid-Hyman)
Taking a little shot on Hyman getting back to his usual shot in a plus matchup.
