SLATE PREVIEW
Ottawa (vs. Detroit), Calgary (vs. Seattle) and Washington (vs. Anaheim) are the biggest favorites on the Moneyline. The over/under for Ducks-Capitals and Red Wings-Senators is 6.5 goals, while the other matchups anticipate 5.5 goals being scored.
GOALIES
Logan Thompson, WSH vs. ANA ($8,000): Thompson has hit a bit of a rough patch lately, but he has bounce-back appeal against the struggling Ducks. Anaheim has scored three goals or fewer four times during the team's five-game winless skid. Thompson also has a 3-2-2 record with a 2.18 GAA and a .919 save percentage in seven previous outings versus the Ducks.
Dustin Wolf, CGY vs. SEA ($7,500): Wolf has won three of his last four outings while stopping 111 of the 119 shots he has faced. He made 21 saves in a 4-2 win over Seattle on Dec. 18 to improve to 2-0-1 against the Kraken.
VALUE PLAYS/ONE-OFFS
Alex DeBrincat, DET at OTT ($7,300): DeBrincat has lit the lamp in two straight games going into Monday night's action. He has seven shots on net over that span. He also has two goals, five points and 26 shots in his last seven outings against the Senators.
Tim Stutzle, OTT vs. DET ($7,100): Stutzle has amassed eight goals and 11 assists during his 12-game point streak. He has eight power-play points (four goals, four assists), a shorthanded goal and 34 shots during that stretch. Stutzle should remain hot in Monday's matchup because he has seven goals and 16 points in his previous 14 appearances against the Red Wings.
Dylan Strome, WSH vs. ANA ($6,200): Strome has compiled four goals, six helpers and 19 shots on target in his last eight contests. He has two goals and one assist with the man advantage over that time. Strome has one goal, one assist and three shots in his last two appearances against the Ducks.
FORWARD LINE STACK
Rangers vs. Mammoth
Mika Zibanejad (C - $6,400), Artemi Panarin (W - $6.800), Will Cuylle (W - $5,400)
Zibanejad has three multi-point performances in his last seven outings, giving him four goals and six assists during that span. Panarin has been less erratic offensively, registering five goals, 10 points and 25 shots in his last seven contests. Cuylle had two goals and five assists in seven matches before his current four-game point slump.
New York's top line has plenty of bang for the buck upside if they carry momentum over from Friday's Winter Classic performance against Florida. The duo of Zibanejad and Panarin combined for five goals and three assists in the team's 5-1 win.
DEFENSEMEN
Mikhail Sergachev, UTA at NYR ($6,100): Sergachev has two goals, four assists, 10 shots on net and 11 blocked shots in his last five appearances. He has two multi-point performances during that span.
Thomas Chabot, OTT vs. DET ($5,900): Chabot has two goals, three assists, 13 shots and 15 blocks in seven appearances since returning to the lineup from an upper-body injury. He has two tallies on two shots, one assist and five blocks in his last two contests. Chabot has been productive against the Red Wings in the past, racking up five goals and 15 points in 20 games.
