SLATE PREVIEW
Utah (vs. Vancouver), Colorado (vs. Detroit), Dallas (vs. Winnipeg) and Nashville (vs. St. Louis) are the biggest favorites on the Moneyline. The over/under for Senators-Penguins, Islanders-Capitals, Canadiens-Wild, Sharks-'Hawks, Red Wings-Avalanche, Canucks-Mammoth and Maple Leafs-Flames is 6.5 goals. The Sabres-Panthers matchup is anticipated to yield 6.0 goals, while the Blues-Predators and Jets-Stars are expected to generate 5.5 goals.
GOALIES
Anthony Stolarz, TOR at CGY ($7,900): Stolarz has allowed nine goals on 51 shots in two games since returning from a lengthy injury absence. However, he has some bounce-back appeal against a Calgary team that has struggled to score this season. The Flames rank last in the league with 2.48 goals per game despite sitting ninth overall with 29.1 shots per contest.
Karel Vejmelka, UTA vs. VAN ($7,400): Vejmelka has lost three straight outings following an eight-game win streak. If he gets the nod, a matchup against the last-placed Canucks could get him back on track. Vancouver also sits 30th in the league with 2.56 goals per game.
Jakub Dobes, MTL at MIN ($7,200): Dobes has stopped 151 of the 169 shots he has faced during his six-game winning streak. He made 17 saves in a 4-3 win over the Wild during that span and could provide plenty of bang for the buck if he receives a chance to continue his impressive run.
VALUE PLAYS/ONE-OFFS
Nathan MacKinnon, COL vs. DET ($8,600): MacKinnon has amassed 18 goals and 35 points in 22 previous contests against Detroit. He had two tallies on four shots and one assist in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Red Wings.
Tage Thompson, BUF at FLA ($7,500): Thompson has compiled eight goals on 45 shots and 19 points in his past 14 appearances. He has three markers and three assists in six games heading into Monday night's action. Thompson has two helpers and seven shots on goal in two previous meetings with the Panthers this season.
FORWARD LINE STACK
Predators vs. Blues
Filip Forsberg (W - $6,000), Ryan O'Reilly (C - $6,600), Steven Stamkos (W - $5,900)
Forsberg has potted three goals on eight shots in the last two games. O'Reilly has one assist and eight shots in the past four contests, but he had a six-game point streak, with five goals and six assists, before that. Stamkos has registered four goals (three on the power play), two helpers with the man advantage and 15 shots in five games heading into Monday's slate.
Nashville's top line has combined for nine goals on 27 shots and three assists in three games against St. Louis this season. The Blues have allowed the third-most goals per game (3.44) in 2025-26
Mammoth vs. Canucks
JJ Peterka (W - $5,100), Barrett Hayton (C - $4,400), Kailer Yamamoto (W - $3,300)
Peterka has three goals on six shots and five points in his last six outings, including one tally and two helpers in the past two. Entering Monday's action, Hayton has two goals, 18 shots and five points in five contests. He has one goal and two helpers during a three-game point streak. Yamamoto has three multi-point performances in his past five appearances. He has compiled five goals, nine shots and two assists during that span. He has scored twice in each of the last two games.
Utah's second line possesses plenty of potential as a value stack for Monday's slate.
DEFENSEMEN
Roman Josi, NSH vs. STL ($6,900): Josi has amassed five goals, 15 points, 32 shots on net and 16 blocked shots in his past 10 outings. He has eight power-play points (two goals, six assists) and five multi-point efforts during that span. He also has four helpers and 11 shots in three games against the Blues this campaign.
Rasmus Dahlin, BUF at FLA ($6,800): Dahlin has been held off the scoresheet only once in 11 games going into Monday night's action. He has seven goals, eight assists, 29 shots and 13 blocks over that stretch. Dahlin has two helpers and five shots in two games against the Panthers this season.
