Monday night features an exciting lineup of six NHL games, starting at 7:00 p.m. ET. The Washington Capitals are on the second leg of a back-to-back, facing the Utah Hockey Club. Goalie Lukas Dostal may start against Dallas, with John Gibson likely to play on Tuesday.
Key goalie picks include Cam Talbot of the Detroit Red Wings and Elvis Merzlikins from the Columbus Blue Jackets. Talbot's strong stats make him a solid choice against the San Jose Sharks, while Merzlikins faces a struggling Boston Bruins team.
For value plays, Artturi Lehkonen of the Colorado Avalanche and Nick Schmaltz of the Utah Hockey Club are highlighted. A forward line stack featuring Matt Duchene, Tyler Seguin, and Mason Marchment from the Dallas Stars is recommended, given their previous success together.
