Whether you’re targeting cash games or GPPs, these picks are designed to maximize value and exposure. Let’s dive into the matchups and identify the key players to target.
STUDS
The Stud: Jack Hughes
Likely the highest floor/ceiling combo on the slate. Nine goals and six assists in 11 games to go along with 38 shots.
The Pivot: Alex Debrincat
Four goals and four assists over his last five games (also 22 shots) and facing a bad Sharks defense.

The Low-Owned: Macklin Celebrini
17 points (including six goals) in 11 games; may go a bit overlooked for some of the other studs on the slate, but Detroit can’t stop anything defensively.
The Value: Emmitt Finnie
L1/PP1; getting close to too expensive for this category, but playing well.
STACKS
The Full: DET (Larkin-DeBrincat-Raymond)
The game could blow up, and these three will be part of it. Eight goals and 10 assists between them in their last five games.
The Mini: ANA (Terry-Kreider)
Five goals for each of them over the last five games.
