Every day, NHL.com’s team of hockey pool experts provides an overview of the different rosters that will be playing each other and identifies some players who could stand out and find success.

ATTACKER
Mitchell MarnerTOR (vs BUF) – Of all the Maple Leafs players in action tonight, Marner is probably the most interesting, having just amassed 12 points in his last six games, including four goals and four points on the power play, highs in all categories within his club. Yet it is cheaper for daily poolers than Auston Matthews and William Nylander. Marner plays on the first line with Matthews and Alexander Kerfoot, who could also be an interesting bet at very low cost to complete your formation. The Maple Leafs face the Sabers, who have allowed an average of 4.71 goals per game for two weeks, ranked 31st in the NHL.

DEFENDER
Vince DunnSEA (vs DAL) – Since Feb. 23, no NHL defenseman has been more productive than Dunn, with 13 points in nine games. This is three points more than his nearest pursuer. Yet its value in daily pools is far below the Cale MakarRamsus Dahlin et Miro Heiskanen of this world. That’s why he is a very interesting target tonight, especially since he has amassed at least one point in his last nine games. The Kraken’s offense, with its average of 4.14 goals per game, is the second most productive in the NHL for two weeks.
GUARDIAN
Alexander GeorgievCOL (vs MTL) – The Montreal Canadiens have lost their last six games (0-4-2). Can they put an end to this bad streak against the Avalanche, who have one of the best records in the NHL (9-3-2) since February 11? We can doubt it. The Colorado goalkeeper is therefore to be targeted, especially since the Habs only scored 2.33 goals per game during their bad streak, ranked 29th in the NHL.
