STUDS
The Stud: Macklin Celebrini
Kid is Him. Great spot for the league’s third-leading scorer (53 points in just 35 games) facing the Kraken.
The Pivot: Zach Werenski
Don’t care that he’s a defenseman…he’s such a cheat code on the blue line. Four goals (21 shots!) and four assists in his last five games.

The Low-Owned: Nikita Kucherov
Facing a tough Carolina defense, but they’re on the second half of a back-to-back and Tampa is at home. 42 points in just 30 games as well. DTD with an illness.
The Value: Collin Graf
Two goals and three assists in his last three games; on L1 with Celebrini.
STACKS
The Full: BOS (Pastrnak-Geekie-Lindholm-Zacha)
Great spot for a slightly-overlooked Bruins grouping facing one of the worst defenses in all of hockey.
The Mini: MON (Caufield-Suzuki)
Love this mini-stack in tournaments on most slates.
