Pittsburgh Penguins

Players to target: Evgeni Malkin, Phil Kessel, and Justin Schultz

The Pittsburgh Penguins are currently the biggest favorite of the night (-175 moneyline) in a road matchup against the Vancouver Canucks. This is a terrible matchup for the Canucks, who have averaged 38.5 shots against in their last four games.

While the Henrik Sedin line may be able to limit Sidney Crosby at even-strength, Bo Horvat's line will have a much harder time with Malkin and Kessel. Horvat's line was conceding 74.2 Corsi Against per 60 minutes and a brutal 41.2 Corsi For percentage with Loui Eriksson on his line. With Eriksson out, Jayson Megna will step into his place, but he is more than four percent worse in Individual Corsi For percentage than Eriksson.

Malkin and Kessel will be joined by Carl Hagelin at even-strength. As a trio, they have been dominant -- 65.9 Corsi For per 60 minutes and 112.2 Scoring Chances For per 60 minutes. Hagelin is a viable option for salary relief, but the Malkin-Kessel-Schultz stack is more appealing because of power-play correlation.

The Penguins have the third best power play (22.9 percent) while the Canucks are tied for 6th-worst penalty kill (78.1 percent). While they won't come at a discount, the Penguins second line and top power-play stack makes for a great late night hammer.
