Injuries

David Savard - Day-to-Day
Hurricanes
Nino Niederreiter - Day to Day
MVP/CPT
Andrei Vasilevskiy , G TB
Vasilevskiy was the difference for Tampa Bay in game one. He is capable of stealing a game, and if he continues to get 38 shots against him, his value will be hard to miss.
Alex Nedeljkovic , G CAR
Nedeljkovic gets a bump from me because Carolina should win this game. He has played well all playoff long, he just might not see as much volume as Vasilevskiy.
Victor Hedman , D TB
Hedman is among the few players who can hits all three bonuses on DraftKings. He leads the Lightning in blocked shots(16), and power play points(8), and he has 17 shots in seven games in these playoffs.
Nikita Kucherov , F TB
Kucherov is the most dangerous player in this game. He has 12 points in seven games, and while he hasn't been hitting the shot bonus, he is capable.
Sebastian Aho , F CAR
Aho leads all Canes players in points in these playoffs, and is the most obvious threat for them. He is on the top line, and top powerplay, and if Carolina is going to score a lot of goals tonight, you should expect Aho to be involved.
Mid-Tier
Martin Necas , F CAR
In the last seven days Necas has as many points as any Hurricanes player. He is averaging three shots per night and is getting first line minutes.
Brett Pesce , D CAR
Pesce has 18 blocks in seven games, and he is a player who will provide points. With the amount of minutes he sees per night, he could get you the block and the shot bonus.
Brayden Point , F TB
Playing with Kucherov helps Point gather up points. He is going to be at the top end of the mid-tier, and could easily be used in the captain spot.
Value Tier
Blake Coleman , F TB
Coleman gives you a little bit of everything, but not a lot of anything. He gets some points, blocks and shots. Mostly what you're hoping for here though is that he can get you a point or two to help push you over the top.
Brady Skeji D CAR
Skeji is yet to get a point, but he is averaging almost 2 blocks per game, and if you can get the block bonus at his price he will of exceeded his value.
Ryan McDonagh , D TB
If you like going after the block bonus McDonaugh is worth a shot. He has 13 in seven games, to go along with his four points.
