A nice 3-1 night Saturday brings our solid run to 16-6 over our last 22 plays. Hopefully, things continue to go well as we move into March.
There are 10 games in the NHL tonight and we’ll be involved in 5 of them.
It’s a great night to play the Stat Shootout contest at Monkey Knife Fight as there are loads of star players playing the early slate of games.
We’ll be going with McDavid, Crosby, and Kucherov to combine for over 3.5 points tonight.
Crosby has been scuffling of late with only one point in his last six games, but five of those were on the road. He should get back on track at home against the Senators.
Kucherov has been nothing short of amazing lately with at least one point in 19 straight games and at least two points in 12 of those 19 contests.
And McDavid is capable of going off at any time, even if the matchup in Dallas isn’t great.
It wouldn’t be surprising at all if just Crobsy and Kucherov combine for 4 points tonight to win our play.
Other solid selections include Malkin, Panarin, and Pastrnak.
