Welcome to a new week Karma Nation,
There are 5 games today, here’s a breakdown of each with some value plays to consider for your lineup builds
Ottawa@Florida- projected total: 6-7 goals. Florida is the biggest favorite tonight at -185 to win at home.
W-Frank Vatrano FLA ($3900 DK, $3600 FD) has two points, nine shots and five blocks in his last four games. He’s the best value play of the night (especially on FD) if you are stacking with 1st line mates Barkov and Connolly.
D-Erik Brannstrom OTT ($2500 DK, $3500 FD) has been called up from the AHL for tonight’s contest. He most recently had four points in four games and will get 2nd-unit power play time. Not a bad min-priced d-man punt to help you spend up elsewhere.

Nashville@NY Rangers- projected total: 6 goals. Nashville is a -135 road favorite to win.
D-Dante Fabbro NSH ($2500 DK, $3500 FD) is priced the exact same as Brannstrom, and also gets second-unit PP time for the Preds. You can really build a powerful offensive lineup with two min-priced blueliners.
W-Pavel Buchnevich NYR ($3500 DK, $4400 FD) skates the Rangers’ top line with Zibanejad and sees time with the 2nd power play unit. He has shown a good shot volume, and accumulated 19 points in 25 games so far.
Washington@Columbus- projected total: 6 goals. Washington is a -160 home favorite to win.
C-Lars Eller WAS ($3800 DK, $4500 FD) has put the puck on net 17 times in his last four games. He only has one goal to show for it, but that high shot volume is bound to pay off and rack up fantasy points as well.
W/C-Nick Foligno CLS ($3200 DK, $4600 FD) sees 2nd-unit power play time and played 24 minutes in his last game, with 4 shots. This game could turn into an end-to-end shootout with the way the Caps shoot and score.
Colorado@St. Louis- projected total: 6 goals. St Louis is a slight -115 home favorite to win.
C-Tyler Bozak STL ($3200 DK, $4000 FD) is coming off his best game of the season when he lit the lamp twice on four shots against Chicago on Saturday. Colorado’s 20th ranked defense against opposing centermen shouldn’t scare anyone away.
Edmonton@Dallas- projected total: 5-6 goals. Dallas is a strong -175 home favorite to win.
G-Ben Bishop DAL ($8000 DK only) has been playing out of his mind with a 1.95 GAA, and only one regulation loss in his last 14 appearances. Dallas is favored, and Bishop should see a high shot volume from the Oilers.
D-Esa Lindell DAL ($3000 DK, #3700 FD) has a pair of assists and blocked 10 shots over his last two games. As mentioned above, Edmonton is not shy about shooting the puck, so I like Lindell to shine in this game.
Enjoy the action on the ice, and good luck today!
