STUDS
The Stud: Macklin Celebrini

The Low-Owned: Mikko Rantanen
Should be lower-owned due to matchup and the Stars being on the second half of a back-to-back, but he’s got as much upside as anyone on the slate.
The Value: Justin Sourdif
Five goals and four assists in his last five games.
STACKS
The Full: MTL (Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky-Demidov)
Good upside tonight and may go a bit overlooked with a couple of the other offenses on the slate.
The Mini: SJ (Celebrini-Chernyshov)
These two have developed some nice chemistry (seven goals and seven assists in their last five games), and this mini-stack is a nice way to get exposure to this game.
