POTD: Morgan Rielly 2+ Points (+330 FanDuel)

I know it’s hard to believe that we’re targeting a defenseman today, but we’re back. Toronto heads into Montreal with the third-highest goals-per-game at 3.54, and the Canadiens are the sixth-worst in giving up goals at 3.49. Opposing blue-liners are +58 against the Habs on the season with an abundance of assists allowed at 121.

Morgan Rielly gets to spend a lot of time on the ice with players like William Nylander, Auston Matthews, and Mitch Marner, which should lend itself to a couple of points this afternoon. And at +330, I’ll take that bet every time.

If you have any questions or see a late injury or line change, don’t hesitate to message me @thewonkypenguin on Twitter, and I’ll make sure to update the post/projections accordingly. Keep an eye on my Twitter for additional recommendations, especially goalie props that don’t typically come out until closer to puck drop.
