STUDS
The Stud: Quinn Hughes
Continues to be elite offensively and this game environment sets up nicely; three points last game and a goal (22 shots!) and five assists over his last five.
The Pivot: Mark Stone
Great spot for Stone and his 11-game point streak (10 goals and eight assists during), the longest current streak in the league.

The Low-Owned: Auston Matthews
Has been heating up over the last few weeks and Minnesota is banged up all over; nine goals (33 shots) and four assists in his last 10 games.
The Value: Connor Zary
Two goals and four assists during his five-game point streak.
STACKS
The Full: VGK (Eichel-Stone-Marner-Hertl)
Vegas is the largest favorite on the slate and Philly’s defense isn’t that intimidating; plus, they should have a little extra in their step after acquiring Rasmus Andersson.
The Mini: NYR (Panarin-Zibanejad)
Even with the trade rumors starting to fly, these two seem above it, combining for eight goals (32 shots) and nine assists in their last five games, and this is a great environment for scoring.
