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: Connor McDavid
Eighteen goals and 23 assists during his current 17-game point streak (the third of those he’s got in his career); Edmonton is one of the bigger favorites tonight as well.
The Pivot: Nikita Kucherov
Eight-game point streak (seven goals and 12 assists during) and up to fourth in the league in scoring, and the Bolts have a good matchup.

The Low-Owned: Kirill Kaprizov
The Wild are finally back at home after a two-week road trip; Kaprizov is top 10 in scoring and Minnesota faces a bad Kraken defense.
The Value: Alexandre Texier
Four goals and four assists in his last five games.
STACKS
The Full: DET (Larkin-Raymond-DeBrincat-Seider)
Battle between two of the top teams in the East, and I’ll lean the road team here (though this is a game stack situation as well).
The Mini: CAR (Aho-Ehlers)
Nice mini-stack here (though of course a full stack is great as Carolina is the largest favorite tonight); these two have eight goals and 10 assists between them over their last five games.
