Opponent - CAR
Proj Pts FD - 19.19 DK - 4.8
The Capitals are playing some of their best hockey right since the Christmas break winning nine of 11 games and have yet to lose in regulation. The should be able to keep that trend alive tonight in a home matchup vs. the Hurricanes who are playing a third game in four nights. The Caps open as big -200 favorites and should have their #1 goalie between the pipes tonight. Holtby bounced back after being pulled in an end to end 80's style shootout vs. the Pens last week and has now 7-0-1 in his last 10 starts with a .935 save % and three shutouts. Roll him out in all formats tonight.
Also Consider: Ondrej Pavelec(WPG) **GPP Only**
Opponent - CAR
Proj Pts FD - 14.14 DK - 4.36
Backstrom has been on an absolute tear lately as the Caps have scored a whopping 50goals in their last 10 games played. What's been more impressive is that the have done this against teams like Columbus, Pittsburg x2, Chicago, St. Louis and Montreal. Individually, Backstrom has 16 points himself in those last 10 games and although he is normally not considered for cash games due to low shot volume, he ca't be faded in any format right now.
Stack with: Alex Ovechkin, T.J. Oshie
Opponent - ARI
Proj Pts FD - 13.59 DK - 4.32
Trocheck hasn't been quite on the same level as Backstrom lately but he is still been very good. The young Panthers center has produced 11 points in his last 10 games including six goals and two powerplay points. From a safety perspective, he is also a better choice as he is averaging just under three shots on goal per game this season.
Stack with: Jussi Jokinen, Reilly Smith
