Colton Sissons Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

The Predators have experienced an extreme number of injuries to their core players and will be without Viktor Arvidsson, Kyle Turris, Filip Forsberg, P.K. Subban, and potentially Austin Watson tonight. This will lead to minutes for unheralded names against the league's worst defense. The lines are still being shuffled, but Colton Sissons and Eeli Tolvanen are the likely beneficiaries tonight. Pay attention to pre-game news to see who's in/out and how the lines are arranged, but having some exposure to Nashville should pay dividends tonight.

Filip Forsberg leads the Nashville Predators in goals and is tied for the team lead in points. He's playing on the top line with Ryan Johansen and Colton Sissons. The Predators visit the Arizona Coyotes — a team that has been one of the bigger surprises of the year. While the points aren't there for Arizona, they've been one of the best possession teams in the NHL. That isn't ideal, but the Predators are in another stratosphere. They lead the league with a +19 goal differential and will take on Darcy Kuemper in net for the 'Yotes. Kuemper has a 3.00 GAA and a .906 SV% which bodes well for a Nashville Predators team that has an elite offence.

John Gibson has allowed 21 goals in his last 6 games, which is an average of 3.5 goals againsts per game. The Nashville Predators are averaging 3.5 goals for per game, so this is a very large mis-match tonight. Additionally, the Anaheim Ducks are dead last in the NHL in possession with an abysmal 42.69 CF%. The Predators are 11th with a 51.08 CF%, good not great. They have the advantage tonight and Filip Forsberg leads the Preds in goals with 10 and shots with 52. He's playing alongside Ryan Johansen and Colton Sissons on the Predators top line, which makes for a fantastic line stack.

If you're looking for value tonight, consider taking Nashville's third line, which features Craig Smith, Kevin Fiala, and Colton Sissons. With a meager seven points through their first nine games, this trio will look to bust out in a big away taking on a weak Calgary third line that remains a liability in their own end this season. Also featured on Nashville's second power play unit, Smith and Fiala have logged 36.5% of Nashville's total power play time this season, where they will be taking on a Flames squad that is among the most penalized teams in the NHL. This bodes well for this underrated line combination, who all come with significant savings in salary that will allow you to load up the rest of your lineup with higher priced studs.
