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 3-max GPPs are my preferred formats. Anaheim can’t play defense and plays fast. That shouldn’t bode well for them against the best team in all of hockey. Colorado is going to dominate ownership today, so from a macro perspective, be mindful of how you build your teams. For example, if you want to play COL1 or COLPP1, try to get contrarian in other places, like with goaltending or your secondary filler stacks.

boggslite: Single-entry is my preferred format tonight. There are plenty of great matchups to target, but Nathan MacKinnon and the Avs take the cake, facing a banged-up Ducks team that has cooled off after a strong start to the year. There is enough value to complement a Colorado onslaught, and this game should play at a fast pace, which should lead to plenty of scoring.

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