After a big 14-game slate last night we quickly have a small three-game slate to work with to construct our daily fantasy hockey lineups.
Boston Bruins @ Washington Capitals (Washington, -170, 5 over/under)
Minnesota Wild @ Calgary Flames (Minnesota, -120, 5 over/under)
Colorado Avalanche @ L.A. Kings (L.A., -300, 5 over/under)
The team I want the most shares of tonight is the L.A. Kings. Tonight they get a Colorado team that has been the eighth-worst road team this season in terms of goals against per game at 3.14 and the overall worst team with an average of 3.37 goals against per game. In 5v5 situations with the score tied on the road Colorado as an xGA/60 of 2.76 — fourth-highest in the NHL. To that end I think we can safely stack L.A’s top two lines in our tournaments:
Marian Gaborik $5K (5G, 6A, 2 PPP, 64 SOG)
Anze Kopitar $6.7K (5G, 22A, 8 PPP, 86 SOG)
Dustin Brown $4K (6G, 15A, 5 PPP, 93 SOG)
