~Hey Karma Nation~
Isn’t it a GREAT time of year to be a sports fan? With the NBA reminding us what we all missed last night, the World Series, and NFL and NHL in full swing, how can you not be excited?
Let’s gather some value for you to insert into your lineups on this busy 10-game schedule:
Offense:
- Alexander Steen STL ($3300-FD, $3600-FD) Is skating on the Blues second line and is due to net his first goal. I’ve got a hunch he gets it done tonight at home against the King’s 22nd ranked defense.
- Joel Farabee PHI ($3400-DK, $3000-FD) Had three shots in 14 minutes in his NHL debut just three days ago. Plays on Flyers top power play facing Chicago’s 31st ranked defense. This game has one of the highest projected implied totals.
- Brian Boyle FLA ($3200-DK, $3000-FD) Took three shots and blocked three more in his debut with the Panthers on Tuesday. He is skating on both Florida’s second line and power play. Great option at this price versus Flame’s mid-pack defense.
Others to consider: Craig Smith NSH ($2800-DK, $4100-FD) Nick Foligno CLS ($3900-DK only)
Defense:
- Devon Toews NYI ($3800-DK, $4600-FD) Has a great match up at home against the Coyote’s 22nd ranked defense. Skates on power play and has five points, 12 shots and 11 blocks through New York’s first eight games
- Esa Lindell DAL ($4000-DK, $3700-FD) Gets power play time and has racked up 15 shots and 17 blocked shots in his last nine games. Will start to produce more points as he has never played less than 20 minutes in any game this season.
Also consider: Travis Hamonic CGY ($3200-DK, $4000-FD)
Goaltenders: (This article was written prior to AM skate. Please check closer to lock as the following were probable but not confirmed to start.)
- Mikko Koskinen EDM ($7500-DK only)
- Jordan Binnington STL ($7900-FD only)
Enjoy the NHL slate, and best of luck on cashing in tonight!
