How to play it
Select 2 primary players for the first day and an alternate. All 3 players must be on different teams. If either primary player records a point, your entry advances. Alternates will automatically replace a primary pick if your player does not play. For day two and beyond you will only have to select one primary player and an alternate. If your primary player records a point, your entry advances. If your primary player does not record a point, your entry is eliminated. Alternates will automatically replace a primary pick if your player does not play. This swap occurs on completion of the alternate player’s game. See Rules section for more information on alternates. The entrant that makes it the furthest takes home the whole prize.
Once one of your players’ games starts (including ALT pick), you cannot edit your entry. Once you select a player for 1 day, you will be prevented from selecting that player again for the duration of the contest.
Here’s the 4 players that you can select for tonight
- Miro Heiskanen
Heiskanen has four points during his modest three-game streak and 11 points in his last 10 games.
Heiskanen is now up to 33 points in 37 games this season, and he’s been finding the scoresheet with some regularity. He’s recorded a point in eight of his last 10 games and 18 of 25 contests dating back to November 4.
Dallas has been piling up the goals in recent games with a total of 22 goals during its four-game winning streak.
2. Tage Thompson
Thompson has scored in six straight games prior to Sunday in New Jersey, giving him 18 goals in 35 games this season.
Thompson now has 12 goals (20 points) in his last 19 games, so he’s been consistently contributing offense over the last month-plus for the Sabres.
The Sabres forward scored in three of four games against the Senators last season, but did not find the back of the net back in October against the Senators.
3. Connor McDavid
His hot streak has led him to overtake Nathan MacKinnon for the NHL lead in points.
McDavid is on a 10-game points streak, a stretch in which he has eight multi-point outings. The three-time Hart Trophy winner also has three multi-point contests over his last four against the Flames.
4.Cole Caufield
Caufield has goalless in his last six games.
However, Caufield has a great track record against the rival Bruins, lighting the lamp in five of his previous six head-to-head meetings with Boston.
