Columbus Blue Jackets

Players to target: Boone Jenner, Brandon Dubinsky, and Cam Atkinson

The Blue Jackets come in as huge favorites tonight, and most DFS owners will gravitate towards the top line or a power-play stack.

However, the second line makes for a great play because of their pace of play and projected line matchups. Alexander Wennberg and the Jackets' top line has played against opposing top lines at home, which is part of the reason Cam Atkinson is among the league's leading goal scorers.

In a matchup against the Vancouver Canucks, Dubinsky and the Blue Jackets' second line will get to face the second line for most of their ice time. This line for the Canucks, centered by Brandon Sutter, owns a 45.5 Corsi For Percentage and is allowing 11.3 Scoring Chances Against per 60 minutes. Comparatively, the Blue Jackets' second line is at 51.3 Corsi For Percentage and 9 Scoring Chances for per 60 minutes.

We should see a bunch of shots from this line, and they will all get time on the league's top-ranked power play (24%). Ryan Miller and his mediocre 81.4 High Danger Save Percentage will have his hands full tonight.
