FORWARD LINE STACKS
Bruins at Sabres
David Pastrnak (W - $8,800), Pavel Zacha (C - $4,900), Morgan Geekie (W - $5,000)
Pastrnak has amassed seven goals and 10 assists during his seven-game point streak. He has registered six multi-point efforts, 32 shots and four power-play points (two goals, two assists) during that period. Zacha has two goals, eight points and eight shots across his last six outings. He has one short-handed goal and two points on the man advantage (one goal, one assist) during that time. Geekie has accounted for six goals on 12 shots and two assists in his past seven appearances.
Boston's top line has been all over the scoresheet. Pastrnak is a great building block for a roster, while his linemates have affordable cap hits. Buffalo has allowed the fourth-most goals per game (3.43) and the eighth-most shots per game (29.4) in 2024-25.
Jets at Canadiens
Kyle Connor (W - $8,200), Mark Scheifele (C - $6,300), Gabriel Vilardi (W - $6,000)
Connor ended a four-game pointless skid with one goal and two assists in Sunday's victory over Calgary. He has 11 goals and 24 points in 21 appearances versus Montreal. Scheifele had one helper in four games before earning one goal, one helper and two shots against the Flames. Vilardi has three goals and three assists during his three-game point streak.
Winnipeg's top line is heating up again, and the trio has been productive versus Montreal. On Dec. 14, they combined for two goals, two assists and nine shots in a 4-2 win over the Canadiens.
DEFENSEMEN
Shea Theodore, VGK vs. DAL ($6,400): Theodore has accumulated two goals, nine helpers, 19 shots and eight blocks across his last eight contests. He has been held off the scoresheet on only two occasions during that stretch. Theodore has one goal, three points and four shots in two previous games versus Dallas this season.
Tony DeAngelo, NYI vs. COL ($3,500): DeAngelo had two shots and two blocks in 25:07 of ice time against Carolina on Jan. 25. He also has a spot on the top power-play unit, giving him plenty of bang for the buck upside for Tuesday's slate.
