Buffalo Sabres

Players to target: Evander Kane, Jack Eichel, and Sam Reinhart

Kane missed last game, but it looks like he'll be back and skating on Eichel's line tonight. This is a situation to monitor as Kane is a game-time decision, but if he plays, this a line to target.

This line, while not great defensively, takes a bunch of shots (60 Corsi For per 60 minutes) and will be playing against a poor Colorado Avalanche possession team. The Avalanche rank last in the league at 64.4 Corsi Against per 60 minutes as well as a league-worst Corsi For Percentage of 44.7. Teams opposing the Avalanche should continue to be targeted in DFS.

Eichel and Reinhart will play on the first power-play unit, which is quarterbacked by Rasmus Ristolainen, while Kane will play on the second unit. Colorado has a 78% penalty kill on the season, and the Avs have given up 8 power play goals in their last nine games.

Stalwart center Ryan O'Reilly and the top Sabres' line will face Nathan MacKinnon's line, leaving Eichel's line with a lot of ice time against Matt Duchene's line. Duchene's current line is allowing 61.5 Corsi Against per 60 minutes with an ugly 44 Corsi For Percentage. Eichel and his linemates possess enticing upside, and the line can be had on FanDuel at a fair $18,200 total cost.
