STUDS
The Stud: Connor McDavid
Just play him at this point: 20-game point streak (19 goals and 27 assists during), the longest of his career.
The Pivot: David Pastrnak
Floor is always there and ceiling is nice tonight (Seattle’s defense isn’t that good and they played last night). Eighth in the league in scoring.

The Low-Owned: Jack Eichel
Four goals and three assists in his last five; good game environment as well.
The Value: Alexandre Texier
Up on L1/PP1; four goals and four assists in his last five games.
STACKS
The Full: MON (Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky-Texier)
Sabres played last night and these four have some nice upside for lower ownership than some of the other stacks.
The Mini: WSH (Ovechkin-Wilson)
Caps are about the largest favorites on the slate tonight; each of these guys has five goals in the last five games.
