Since there are only three games tonight we can have a closer look at each teams lines
Montreal
Armia in and Pezzetta out – not sure why Arpon has Armia on that third line over Pearson but something to watch out for
Columbus:
Texier moved onto L2 in the third of the last game against Boston. Note, he only played 10 minutes total in that game – and Fantilli only played 13 – so if you are stacking that L2 – you may want to temper your expectations. L3 may produce some more consistent results
Detroit:
Patty Kane won’t be playing for at least a week and NO Dylan Larkin today.
New York:
Adam Fox back for NYR and it sounds like no TOI worries. Full send on him for PP1.
Washington:
No morning skate – so using lines from last game – these could change so pay attention!
LA:
Off a 4-0 win over Montreal looks like no changes for the Kings.
The Solver settings for a 3 game slate:
Unique Players – 4
No Players vs Goalie
No D in Flex
I’ve said before for 2 and 3 game slates I do like to get away from a normal straight 3-3 stack. The 3-3-2 is gonna allow you to have good correlation while giving the lineup the flexibility that a smaller player pool needs.
Slate Specific Thoughts:
As I noted above that CBJ2 line is going to cause a lot of heartburn tonight. Will Texier/Fantilli get more than 11 minutes a piece??? Seems like a GREAT line to fade.
With so few options on only three games I do like to expand the D pool. Can include the PP2 guys as well today. I’m not sure I’d keep Boqvist – my worry is he is going to be over-owned based on the top projected CBJ1 and ultra cheap CBJ2
Highest projected goalie is against the chalkiest forwards of the night? Whew baby. Gonna be a wild ride!
