Players to target: Artemi Panarin, Pierre-Luc Dubois, and Cam Atkinson
The Columbus Blue Jackets' top line gets a great home matchup against the Washington Capitals, who have allowed the third-most Scoring Chances Against per 60 minutes and fifth-most High-Danger Chances Against per 60 minutes in February. At even-strength, they should see a lot of the Evgeny Kuznetsov line, which is much worse defensively than the Nicklas Backstrom line.
Panarin, Dubois, and Atkinson have 57.3 Corsi For Percentage, 37.1 Scoring Chances For per 60 minutes, and 13.8 High-Danger Chances For per 60 minutes, and they will all be on the top power-play unit against the Capitals' middle-of-the-road penalty kill (80%). This group will be popular in tournaments tonight, but they're worth every penny as a stack.
