Updates since the Playbook was posted early this morning:
- Timo Meier will move up to San Jose's top line with Logan Couture and Evander Kane. Joe Thornton will center Tomas Hertl and Kevin Labanc on the second line. Hertl and Labanc appear to be on the top PP unit and are the preferred stack from SJ.
- Mathieu Perreault will not be on the second line with Jack Roslovic playing on Blake Wheeler's wing instead. That makes Perreault not much of a value, and Roslovic is not a very productive fantasy player.
- Evgeni Malkin is out tonight. Jared McCann likely takes his spot on the top line. Bryan Rust's value is hurt by Malkin being out, but he is still a great value on FD.
- Mike Matheson is out tonight, so he cannot be used as a potential salary relief option on DK as previously suggested. It's probably hard to find a usable D-man on DK cheaper than Ryan Suter.
- Mika Zibanejad will now be centering Chris Kreider and Pavel Buchnevich. If you want some Rangers in GPPs, I'd now lean toward Ziba and Kreider as a mini-stack.
