Three Stars of the Night

If you’re going to spend up, these are our favorite targets on the night:

• Connor McDavid – C - EDM – $7500 DK/$9100 FD - He doesn’t have the best numbers on the slate, but for GPPs makes for a solid pick against a team that played last night and had to make the trip from Vancouver to Edmonton.

• Vladimir Tarasenko – W - STL – $7600 DK/$8000 - Numbers favor the Blues tonight which makes Tarasenko an easy pick tonight. Tarasenko has been averaging almost 5 SOG the last 5 games at home and should get plenty of chances to put the biscuit in the basket.

• Brent Burns – D -SJ- $6800 DK/$7100 FD – Burns has been turning things around as of late. While we prefer not to spend up at D, especially on a 12-game slate, Star Wars is being shown at midnight across the country tonight, so play the Wookie.  

Line Stacks

With 12 games on the slate, you probably don’t have to worry too much about ownership but more on making a solid GPP lineup which means that you’ll probably have to look for more balance than a total stars and scrubs approach. Here are :

The Risk-It-For-The-Biscuit Stack:

Top Shelf Plays

Here’s a list of players at the top, middle, and value salary tiers that you should consider in your lineup based on their line, power play time, shots on goal, or consistency over the past month. If you’d like any specifics of why a certain player made (or didn’t make) the list, give us a holler in NHL chat.
