Tonight's NHL Main Slate is a 3-game build with BOS @ BUF (7:30 PM EDT), MIN @ DAL (8:00 PM EDT), and ANH @ EDM (10:00 PM EDT) — and we're loading up on the two matchups we like most.
The BUF side gives us a 4-deep stack featuring Tage Thompson, Alex Tuch, Bowen Byram, and Peyton Krebs — a balanced attack against Boston with scoring and defenseman upside built in.
We're pairing that with a 4-deep DAL stack featuring Wyatt Johnston, Jason Robertson, and Justin Hryckowian at the skater spots, anchored by Jake Oettinger in net at $7,500.
Darnell Nurse rounds out the build with a value-priced D play in the late ANH @ EDM game.
Let's have a big night! 💰🔥
