STUDS
The Stud: Connor Bedard
The obvious choice here on this two-gamer. Decide to be over or under on him.
The Pivot: Dylan Guenther
Four goals and two assists in his last five games and has solid upside.

The Low-Owned: Robert Thomas
Two goals and two assists in his last five games; has been really cold all season but has performed in the past.
The Value: Louis Crevier
On the top defensive pairing; 15 shots in his last five games (one goal, but still shooting a ton and is cheap).
STACKS
The Full: UTA (Guenther-Keller-Schmaltz)
Chicago is the obvious choice, so let’s go with a trio that has a nice ceiling to try to get some leverage.
The Mini: CHI (Nazar-Bertuzzi)
Bit of a leverage option here without Bedard, but these two are L2/PP1 together.
