STUDS
The Stud: Connor McDavid

The Low-Owned: Mark Stone
Will be a bit overlooked with the big studs on the slate; six goals and 18 assists during the league’s longest current (14 games) point streak.
The Value: Zach Hyman
Too cheap for his upside.
STACKS
The Full: COL (Mackinnon-Necas-Landeskog-Makar)
Colorado is the obvious choice, so don’t be afraid to lean into them.
The Mini: DET (Larkin-Raymond)
Wings are playing very well and these two have great chemistry.
