STUDS
The Stud: William Nylander
Nylander has a league-best 13-game point streak (seven goals and 15 assists during). St. Louis has allowed the most goals in the league and the Leafs are at home.
The Pivot: Jason Robertson
Six goals and four assists in his last four games, and the Stars have the best power play in the league.

The Low-Owned: Artemi Panarin
Slowly heating up (two goals and six assists in his last five) after a slow start; Rangers have a tough matchup heading to the desert, but he’s a great tournament option regardless.
The Value: Easton Cowan

STACKS
The Full: DET (Larkin-Debrincat-Raymond-Kane)
These four are the bulk of the Wings’ scoring, so it’s easy to hone in on the production; Detroit is at home against a below-average Kraken team, and they’re a little less chalky than some stacks but still have a nice ceiling.
The Mini: TOR (Nylander-Tavares)
Even easier to get the Leafs’ scoring with Matthews out; great spot as discussed above and it’s a solid way to get exposure to them without going too heavy.
