Happy Friday!

Tonight is a 5-game slate with a 7PM EST lock

2 Stars of the Night ⭐️

Not a big believer in “must haves” or “core players” for your lineup, but these are favorites on the night. If you’re running a single lineup, I’d try to get one or more in your lineup.

• Jamie Benn - DAL - $6600 DK/$7900 FD

• Evgeni Malkin - PIT - $7900 DK/$9000 FD

Recommended Line Stacks 🥞

On a slate this large, I don’t worry too much about ownership, as it will be pretty spread out. Here are our favorites on the night.

The Risk-It-For-The-Biscuit Stack 🍞

I wouldn’t fault you if you wanted to drop down to a third line of any of the stacks listed above. But if you want to get a little wild on a top line that will certainly get more minutes than most third lines and is facing a team that has lost 9 of its last 10, here you go:

Top Shelf Plays

Here are some of the players we like the most for tonight. 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.

Goaltenders 🥅

• Jake Allen - - $8400 DK/$8200 FD

• John Gibson - - $7600 DK/$8800 FD

• Kari Lehtonen - - $7700 DK/$7800 FD – GPP Preferred

• Antti Niemi - - $7200 DK/$7800 FD – GPP PUNT

**Always check to make sure goaltenders are confirmed before lock!**

Punts of the Night 👍

These are the players in the bottom of the barrel with risk but provide salary relief with some upside:

• Alex Biega - VAN - $2700 DK/$3600 FD

• Carl Gunnarsson - STL - $2900 DK/$3500 FD

• Nikita Scherbak - MON - $3200 DK/$3800 FD

• Sam Gagner - VAN - $3400 DK/$4100 FD
