STUDS

Dude just keeps being Him. Eleven goals and 12 assists during his nine-game point streak.

The Low-Owned: Artemi Panarin
Continues to play much better as of late than in the early going; two goals yesterday and gets a good matchup tonight.
The Value: Ben Kindel
PP1 with Crosby.
STACKS
The Full: BOS (Pastrnak-Geekie-Lindholm-Zacha)
Overlooked spot with some of the other bigger stacks on the slate; Senators’ defense isn’t that good.
The Mini: BUF (Thompson-Dahlin)
Eight goals and four assists between them in the Sabres’ last five games.
