This is the last weekend of the regular season and we have a lot of teams battling for that last wildcard spot in the East. Double-check your lineups before lock because teams will be resting players starting this weekend.
Nashville has an implied goal total of 4.1, the highest tonight, against the Blue Jackets. From practice reports it looks like they will be playing all their starters.
Detroit at Toronto is an interesting game. Detroit is in a must-win situation, and Toronto is not known for their defense. However, Auston Matthews is 2 goals away from the 70-goal milestone and he will play. NHL players love these milestones, and you can bet the team will feed Matthews the puck at every opportunity.
The Western Conference is pretty much set for the playoffs, therefore I expect a lot of players to rest. Minnesota is playing for pride against San Jose and may offer some value. Other than that I am staying in the East.
Good luck and join me in Discord!
