Happy Black Friday Karma Nation,
Today’s varied NHL schedule is strange, but so is 13 shoppers all fighting each other to save $5 on a toaster! There are 24 teams hitting the ice, but we will focus on the games that start at 4PM EST and later.
Teams with greatest chance to win: PHI, VGK, SJ
Highest implied totals: TOR@BUF, TB@WAS, NSH@CAR
Lowest implied totals: ARI@VGK, STL@DAL, WPG@ANH
Offense:
J.T. Compher COL ($3900-DK, $4500-FD) gets 2nd unit PP duties, has three points and taken 11 shots in his last five. Chicago ranks in bottom third defensively against wingers.
Kevin Fiala MIN ($3900-DK, $4400-FD) the Wild are as big a favorite on home ice as you may see them all season. Riding the hot hand here as Fiala has a point in three straight on 10 shots, and is on the top PP unit.
Brandon Tanev PIT ($3300-DK, $4100-FD) has been so active lately … the Pens have moved him to their second scoring line. Tanev has six points, seven shots, and six blocks in his last six games, and gets to face the Jackets’ 24th ranked defense.
Also: Mathieu Perreault WPG ($2700-DK, $3100-FD Kasperi Kapanen TOR ($4000-DK, $4400-FD)
Defense:
Travis Sanheim PHI ($3000-DK, $4000-FD) now gets power play time on the Flyers’ 2nd unit, and has taken three shots or more in four of his last six games. Philly is at home and we have done well all season picking against Detroit’s poor defense.
Ben Hutton LA ($2500-DK, $3500-FD) is coming off his best game of the season with an assist, three shots, and three blocks against the Islanders. Let’s ride the hot hand and this low price.
Also: Nikita Zaitsev OTT ($3300-DK, $3600-FD)
Goaltenders:
Tristan Jarry PIT ($7800-DK only) has won four straight, and is facing a Columbus team second to last in scoring at only 2.5 goals/game. I really like his chances to win again today with his 1.75 GAA and the Pens offensive goal support of 3.5 goals/game
Carter Hart PHI ($7400-FD only) has allowed two goals or fewer in seven of his last eight appearances. He has home ice versus Detroit who is the worst scoring team in the league-averaging just 2.2 goals/game.
Enjoy black and blue Friday on the ice!
