The Low-Owned: Kevin Fiala
No one likes playing the Kings, but it’s a small slate, so they’re in play; three goals and four assists in his last five.
The Value: Justin Sourdif
Coming off a hat trick and has five goals and four assists in his last five.
STACKS
The Full: WSH (Ovechkin-Wilson-Strome-Protas)
Could have the most upside on the slate, but they’ll be popular; decide to go over or under.
The Mini: WPG (Connor-Scheifele)
The Jets are awful, but these two have as high a ceiling as any duo tonight (they each have 20 goals and are well over a point per game this season), so you might get some leverage with how bad the team has been.
