| Player | Prop |
|---|---|
| Cale Makar | ↑ 1.5 Points |
| Nathan MacKinnon | ↑ 1.5 Points |
| Artturi Lehkonen | ↑ 0.5 Points |
| Quinn Hughes | ↑ 1.5 Points |
| Matt Boldy | ↑ 0.5 Assists |
| Kirill Kaprizov | ↑ 0.5 Points |
This card mirrors the same matchup edges from earlier today's NHL DFS Single Game FanDuel Showdown writeup — Makar's blueline volume translates to a Points over the boosted 1.5 line, MacKinnon and Hughes carry the top-pair PP1 leverage on each side of the ice, and Lehkonen, Boldy, and Kaprizov fill out the scoring upside. Six picks for the 5/5 MIN @ COL Single Game, built on the same correlation thesis as the FanDuel build.
Makar's 1.5 Points is the boosted-side anchor — top-pair minutes, PP1 quarterback, and a track record of multi-point nights against MIN-level opposition. MacKinnon at 1.5 Points carries the COL center volume, Hughes brings the MIN blueline shot share, Boldy's 0.5 Assists leans on his linemate's finishing, and Kaprizov's 0.5 Points is the safer-line lock at the bottom of the card.
Let's have a big night!
