Correlated Snipe #1 – Kirill Kaprizov – Matt Boldy – Joel Eriksson Ek
The Wild are at home against the Ducks, and this is a spot we are going to want to attack. The Wild are getting healthier and will want to get their legs and chemistry back with Kirill Kaprizov and Joel Eriksson Ek. Couple that with the Wild controlling their own destiny in whether they want to play Vegas or Winnipeg in the first round. Winnipeg is no treat to travel to and they have the best goalie in the world; Vegas is more fun and easier to travel to, and they may be more beatable. The Wild are playing for something, are the superior team, and will want to get their horses going again in this one.
Correlated Snipe #2 – Sean Monahan – Boone Jenner – Kirill Marchenko
The Blue Jackets are hot right now, and by some miracle the Blackhawks beat the Canadiens in Montreal, and now the pressure is really on the Canadiens to win their final game. Either way, the Jackets are hot right now and are playing the Flyers who have no goalie and have been planning their golf trips for a while now.
Grinder #1 – Jiri Kulich – A simple mispricing on Draftkings. Kulich is proving himself to be a dangerous young NHL player and he has upside every time the Sabres play.
Grinder #2 – Zeev Buium – Stone-minimum price for this rookies NHL debut. This kid was picked in the first round this year and is an overall stud defenseman that plays hard and the right way. I expect activity.
