Three Stars of the Night

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

• Sidney Crosby – C - PIT – $7900 DK/$9300 FD – Look at Crosby’s numbers over the past week. Killing it. Great floor, great ceiling, and great matchup tonight.

• Blake Wheeler – WPG – $7300 DK/$7700 FD - Winnipeg has been scoring in bunches lately and will be popular tonight against a Detroit team that gave up 10 goals to Montreal over the weekend. If we had to pick one from that team to go with, it’s Wheeler tonight.

• Zach Werenski – D -CLS - $4900 DK/$5000 FD – Zach has the consistency you want in a cash game D and the upside for GPP, and Columbus has a nice matchup at home tonight.

Line Stacks

Winnipeg, Tampa, Pittsburgh, and Vegas jump out as obvious targets. If you want to go a different direction or pair them with another stack, here are some
