SLATE PREVIEW
Buffalo (vs. Seattle), Edmonton (vs. Nashville), Philadelphia (vs. Anaheim) and Carolina (vs. Dallas) are the biggest favorites on the Moneyline. The over/under for Stars-Hurricanes, Ducks-Flyers, Avalanche-Lightning, Predators-Oilers and Blue Jackets-Sharks is 6.5 goals. The Canucks-Sabres matchup is expected to yield 6.0 goals, while the other contests are anticipated to result in 5.5 goals.
GOALIES
Dan Vladar, PHI vs. ANA ($8,200): Vladar has won four of his last five outings while surrendering only 10 goals on 124 shots. He has a 3-0-0 record with a 2.19 GAA and a .910 save percentage in three previous outings against the Ducks. Anaheim is coming off a 7-4 loss to Washington on Monday. The Ducks have scored 15 goals during the team's six-game winless skid (0-5-1).
Ilya Sorokin, NYI vs. NJD ($7,600): Sorokin will return to the crease against the Devils on Tuesday after recovering from a nagging lower-body injury. He made 33 saves in a 3-2 overtime win over New Jersey on Nov. 10. He is 9-5-2 against the Devils in his career with a 2.62 GAA and a .916 save percentage. New Jersey has scored two goals or fewer in seven of its past 10 games (4-5-1).
VALUE PLAYS/ONE-OFFS
Leon Draisaitl, EDM vs. NSH ($9,000): Draisaitl has generated three goals on 31 shots and 11 assists in his last nine outings. He has three goals and seven assists with the man advantage during that span. He hasn't been racking up points like Connor McDavid, but he comes at a more manageable cap hit with plenty of offensive upside. Draisaitl has amassed 27 goals and 48 points in 29 previous meetings with Nashville.
Sam Reinhart, FLA at TOR ($7,500): Reinhart has been held off the scoresheet twice in his past 11 outings, compiling eight goals on 33 shots and 16 points over that span. He also has seven power-play points (four goals, three assists) and one shorthanded goal during that stretch. Reinhart scored Florida's only goal in a 4-1 loss to Toronto on Dec. 2, giving him seven tallies and 11 points in his last nine regular-season outings against the Maple Leafs.
Pavol Regenda, SJS vs. CBJ ($3,100): Regenda has netted five goals on 14 shots in four NHL appearances this campaign. He scored a hat trick in Saturday's 7-3 loss to Tampa Bay, which will bump him into a top-six role for Tuesday's matchup against the Blue Jackets.
FORWARD LINE STACKS
Flyers vs. Ducks
Trevor Zegras (W - $5,900), Travis Konecny (W - $5,700), Christian Dvorak (C - $4,100)
Zegras will face his former Anaheim teammates for the first time since being dealt to the Flyers in the offseason. He has collected five goals, 21 shots on net and 13 points in his last 13 appearances. Konecny has generated eight goals, nine assists and 43 shots in 16 games going into Tuesday night's action. Dvorak, fresh off signing a five-year, $25.75 million contract extension with Philadelphia on Monday, has three goals on 33 shots and nine points in his past 13 contests.
The Flyers' top line possesses considerable bang for the buck upside against a Ducks team that has allowed 27 goals in its past five games. Anaheim has allowed a league-high 3.64 goals per game this season.
Blue Jackets at Sharks
Adam Fantilli (C - $6,200), Kirill Marchenko (W - $6,200), Mason Marchment (W - $4,500)
Fantilli has four helpers and 20 shots on goal in his past six outings. Marchenko has registered five goals on 23 shots and two assists during that same six-game span, while Marchment has five tallies, seven points and 15 shots in seven contests with Columbus since being acquired from Seattle.
The top line of the Blue Jackets is a solid blend of affordable cap hits and offensive potential for Tuesday's slate. San Jose has surrendered the second-most goals per game (3.54) in the league this campaign.
DEFENSEMEN
Rasmus Dahlin, BUF vs. VAN ($6,300): Dahlin has gone a season-high four straight games without a point, but he has 12 shots on goal and two blocked shots over that span. He had three goals and 12 points in 10 contests before his recent slump. Dahlin has accumulated five goals, 25 shots and 16 points in his previous 12 appearances against the Canucks.
Denton Mateychuk, CBJ at SJS ($4,300): Mateychuk has compiled two goals, seven assists, 10 shots and six blocks in his past seven outings. He could be a solid value play if that category coverage continues.
