What is your preferred tournament format (e.g. large-field, single-entry) to play on this slate? How do you plan to beat that field of opponents? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?

TastefulTides: Single-entry and small-field GPPs are my preferred format. We should see some pretty significant chalk on the Wild. If I elect to play them, I am going to make sure to move away from high pOWN% with the rest of my team. If I fade the Wild, I will want to be heavy on the Devils. The Devils have the best power-play percentage in the NHL. The Kraken rank 20th on the kill. This shapes up as a great spot for the Devils.

Joda: Single-entry and small-field tournaments are my preferred format. Much like last night where sticking to a tight core of Tampa Bay and Edmonton skaters provided fantasy goodness, tonight sets up similarly with Minnesota and Vancouver skaters. However, one team that could be overlooked is New Jersey. Joey Daccord started last night, so we likely see Philipp Grubauer, whose -6.7 GSAx (Goals Saved Above Expected) is one of the worst marks in the NHL. The Devils’ top six are firmly in play.

Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
