STUDS
The Stud: Nathan Mackinnon
Great spot for the leader in the Hart race (and the leader of the league’s best team).
The Pivot: Macklin Celebrini
Has made his way into the Hart conversation with 70 points (third in the league) in just 45 games. Really nice matchup tonight as well.

The Low-Owned: Alex DeBrincat
On pace for another 40-goal season and is averaging over a point per game; is also sixth in the league in shots, so the floor and ceiling are both decent.
The Value: Pavol Regenda
Four goals in his last five games.
STACKS
The Full: DET (Larkin-Raymond-DeBrincat-van Riemsdyk)
If you’re not on the Avs (which on this slate a fade could be a really nice leverage play), Raymond is back up on L1 where he belongs as these and Larkin have great chemistry; these are all PP1 together.
The Mini: SJ (Celebrini-Wennberg)
The Sharks’ offense is explosive and the Wings can give up goals. (Also worth consideration as a game stack.)
