We like Kucherov, Matthews, and Panarin tonight in the Stat Shootout contest. Other solid player picks include Marner, Tavares, or Hedman.
Kucherov has a 15 game point streak in which he’s put up 27 points and Stamkos is out tonight which should only help his ice time.
He’s pretty much a must start in DFS at home against the Blackhawks, especially in a contest where we can pair him with guys like Matthews and Panarin to get to our goal of 4 total points and double our money.
