Minnesota Wild

Players to target: Jason Zucker, Mikko Koivu, and Mikael Granlund

The Minnesota Wild have been a train wreck lately -- they've lost 11 of their last 13 games and are in danger of losing the 2 seed in the West with the way things are going.

They haven't been good, but have a great matchup at home against the Ottawa Senators. Koivu's line should be in their usual shutdown role against the Sens' top line, which means an appointment with Kyle Turris, Zack Smith, and Bobby Ryan.

The numbers point to Koivu's line having an advantage against the high-paced (60.2 Corsi Against and 10.3 Scoring Chances Against, both per 60 minutes) Senators top line. Zucker, Koivu, and Granlund have combined for 55.1 Corsi For per 60 minutes and 9.1 Scoring Chances For per 60 minutes throughout the season.

Koivu and Granlund are listed on the second power play unit, and we can reasonably expect some power play minutes from Jason Zucker in the absence of Zach Parise. The Senators are average on the penalty kill (80.5 percent), but opponents in their last 5 games are 7-for-19 (37 percent) in that situation. Zucker is only $4,200 on FanDuel, making this stack cheaper than it should be based off the upside.
