Are you not entertained!? The Florida Panthers orchestrated a comeback being down 5-1 to the team nipping at their heels, the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Leafs are certainly frustrated by blowing the lead, but they still got a point which may ultimately prove to be a tiebreaker in the coming weeks.

Kyle Connor has some ground to make up in the Rocket Richard race. Even though he is unlikely to be in the running, it is crazy to note that he costs more than Alex Ovechkin right now. He is cruising towards a 100 pt season and watching a few guys hit the mark, you know he wants it bad.
Connor Hellebuyck and the Jets desperately need some wins. Their playoff chances are dwindling but they are playing the Red Wings who are on the tail end of a back to back. With Connor lighting the lamp across the ice, Helle should have a good evening.
We considered saving a few hundred bucks to take Pierre Luc Dubois but Mark Scheifele’snumbers are way more consistent. He is just over a point per game and is about to hit the 50 assist mark. We love this time of year where guys are all trying to hit big milestones while also fighting to get into the post season. We all win.

A 100 point season in the NHL is one of the hardest stats to come by. Johnny Gaudreau got 99 three years ago! We know he has lost sleep over it and only needs five more to hit the big one. While he may not hit it tonight, the watch is officially on.
We are probably going to pair Elias Lindholm with Gaudreau because these two are a match made in heaven. He has an even 70 points evenly distributed between goals and assists. You can safely swap him in for Scheif.
Andre Vasilevskiy had a big loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs and we do not think it will happen twice in a row. He does have to deal with the likes of Ovechkin, but the team has the ability to bounce back like few others can.
Robert Thomas is the least talked about baller from the 2017 draft class. Everyone knows about Miro Hesikanen and Elias Pettersson, but Thomas has flown under the radar. He is keeping the Blues second line afloat and his underlying defensive metrics surprised us. He is a very responsible young man.
Alec Martinez is an offensively minded defenseman who has yet to really get on that board since coming back. We are holding strong on him as Vegas has been perking back up. For a slightly higher scoring chance, but lower floor, Noah Hanifin has been playing very well of late.
Round out your wingers with a couple of Andrew Mangiapane, Connor Garland or Alex Killorn. They come super cheap, with upside and the flexibility to spend more on the big guns.
We are going to an AHL game tonight! The Tucson Roadrunners are hosting the Iowa Wild and we can’t wait to see Marco Rossi live. Twitter (@FantasyDFSX)if you are a tweeter. Catch you on the flip side. Meep meep!
