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: Jack Eichel
Back from injury and his team is in the best spot on the slate; 41 points in 32 games.
The Pivot: Nathan Mackinnon
Not much can be said about Mac; he’s leading the league in scoring with 74 points and has goals in four straight games (and 13 points in those).

The Low-Owned: Andrei Svechnikov
Three goals and four assists in his last five games.
The Value: Braeden Bowman
Still up on L1 with Eichel.
STACKS
The Full: FLA (Reinhart-Bennett-Marchand)
It’s a three-game slate, so everything is in play, so might as well take some shots against an Avs team that played last night. Reinhart (seven-game point streak), Bennett (eight), and Marchand (10) have been hot, combining for 16 goals and 20 assists in their last seven games.
The Mini: NJ (Hischier-Bratt)
Same situation as the Panthers above; five goals and three assists between them in their last five games, but also 32 shots, so the floor is there.
