SLATE PREVIEW
Colorado (vs. Calgary), Vegas (vs. Vancouver) and Toronto (at Anaheim) are the biggest favorites on the Moneyline. The Over/Under for Maple Leafs-Ducks and Canucks-Golden Knights is 6.5 goals. The other three matchups are expected to yield 6.0 goals.
GOALIES
Adin Hill, VGK vs. VAN ($7,700): Hill has struggled during his three-game losing skid (0-1-2) while allowing 11 goals on 70 shots. However, he has bounce-back appeal for Monday's slate after Vegas surprisingly fired head coach Bruce Cassidy on Sunday. The Golden Knights could get a temporary boost from the switch, as players attempt to win over the new bench boss. Vancouver also ranks 32nd in the league with only 2.50 goals per game. Hill went 3-0-0 versus the Canucks last season, stopping 71 of the 75 shots he faced.
Joel Hofer, STL at SJS ($7,400): Since the Olympic break, Hofer has gone 7-0-2 with a 1.29 GAA and a .955 save percentage in nine outings. He has surrendered two goals or fewer in each of his past four appearances while posting three victories. Hofer made 24 saves in a 2-1 overtime win over the Sharks last Thursday.
VALUE PLAYS?ONE-OFFS
Jack Eichel, VGK vs. VAN ($7,600): Eichel has one goal, six shots on net and three assists in the last two games. He notched one goal on five shots and added a helper in a 5-2 win over the Canucks on Feb. 4.
Pavel Dorofeyev, VGK vs. VAN ($6,300): Dorofeyev has three assists and 10 shots on goal in four games heading into Monday night's action. He scored a goal on seven shots in a 5-2 win over the Canucks on Feb. 4.
