FORWARD LINE STACK
Predators at Blues
Filip Forsberg (W - $6,000), Ryan O'Reilly (C - $5,900), Luke Evangelista (W - $5,200)
Forsberg has collected two goals, three assists and 10 shots during his four-game point streak. O'Reilly has four goals, 12 shots and 11 points in his past nine outings, including one marker and two helpers during a three-game point spree. Evangelista has generated two goals on 21 shots and 11 assists in 10 games going into Monday's matchup. His three-game point streak, which consisted of five helpers, ended in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Colorado.
Nashville's top line has been rolling offensively, and they all have solid bang for the buck upside for Monday's slate. The Predators and Blues have allowed the most goals per game (3.52) in the league, which could equate to a high-scoring contest.
DEFENSEMEN
Josh Morrissey, WPG vs. OTT ($6,300): Morrissey has produced four assists, 10 shots on goal and six blocked shots during his three-game point streak. He has one power-play point during that span, and the Jets could take advantage of Ottawa's 31st-ranked penalty kill in Monday's matchup.
Darren Raddysh, TBL vs. FLA ($6,100): Since mid-November, Raddysh has accumulated six goals and 20 points in 15 games as he takes advantage of Victor Hedman's injuries.
