Welcome to Monday edition of the daily fantasy hockey morning coffee. Today we have a six-game slate to dig through for our daily fantasy needs. Two teams really stand out among the rest and there are nice one offs across this slate.
Monday’s Slate
Arizona Coyotes @ Washington Capitals (Washington, -225, 6 over/under)
Columbus Blue Jackets @ New York Rangers (even, 6 over/under)
Vegas Golden Knights @ Toronto Maple Leafs (Toronto, -225, 6.5 over/under)
Winnipeg Jets @ Dallas Stars (Dallas, -145, 6 over/under)
Detroit Red Wings @ Vancouver Canucks (Vancouver, -140, 5 over/under)
The first team I want plenty of exposure to tonight are the Washington Capitals. Tonight Washington gets an Arizona team that has allowed an NHL second-worst 4.13 goals against per game, have a league fourth-worst 72.2 percent penalty kill percentage and have won just two games all season. Arizona has an xGA/60 of 2.68 and a league ninth-worst CF% of 47.8 percent. Before a 2-1 shootout win over Carolina on Nov. 4 the Coyotes allowed five goals against in their prior two games and have allowed five goals or more in eight of their 15 games played this season.
Washington is looking to string together their third straight win and have scored seven goals over their past two games. While their overall numbers aren’t exactly where we’d like to see them — 18.6 percent power play percentage, 3.00 goals per game, SCF/60 of 29.34 — the matchup, at home against Arizona, is too juicy to pass on. Arizona has the 10th-worst SCA/60 rate of 29.87 and a third-worst HDCA/60 of 13.1.
