FORWARD LINE STACKS
Avalanche vs. Sabres
Nathan MacKinnon (C - $9,500), Artturi Lehkonen (W - $5,400), Martin Necas (W - $6,900)
MacKinnon has reached the scoresheet in 10 consecutive contests, accumulated eight goals, 22 points and 41 shots on net. He has three straight multipoint efforts going into Thursday night's action. Lehkonen has earned three goals on 13 shots and two helpers during his three-game point spree. Necas has picked up a point in six of the past seven matches, supplying four goals, four assists and 17 shots.
Colorado's top line has been firing on all cylinders, and Buffalo has allowed the sixth-most goals per game (3.38) this campaign. The Sabres also will be playing for the second time on the road in two nights after losing 5-2 to Utah on Wednesday.
Sharks at Flames
Macklin Celebrini (C - $7,700), Tyler Toffoli (W - $5,200), Will Smith (W - $4,900)
Celebrini has three goals on 11 shots and five helpers during his four-game point streak. Toffoli has registered one goal, five shots and three assists in the past four contests. Smith has compiled three tallies, four helpers and 11 shots over his five-game point spree.
San Jose's top line has plenty of bang for the buck upside for Thursday's slate, and Celebrini's red-hot play to begin the 2025-26 campaign makes him an intriguing player around whom to build.
DEFENSEMEN
Josh Morrissey, WPG at SEA ($6,800): Morrissey has amassed three goals, 11 points, 19 shots and 17 blocks in nine games entering Thursday night's slate. He also has three power-play assists across that time.
John Carlson, WSH at FLA ($5,300): Carlson has two goals and four assists during his four-game point streak. He has two helpers on the power play, seven blocked shots and eight shots on net over that stretch.
Jacob Trouba, ANA at DET ($4,400): Trouba has recorded four goals, 11 points, 26 shots and 26 blocks in his past 11 appearances. He has considerable potential as a value play if he continues to fill the stat sheet.
