POTD: Cale Makar Anytime Goal (+270 FanDuel)
After we nailed Auston Matthews getting two goals yesterday (and lamenting we didn’t go for the hat trick), we’re going back to the goals category today with Cale Makar. Colorado has the best matchup with the highest team total against Arizona, a team that has given up the second-most goals to blue-liners. Makar has 60 points in 50 games, 47 of which are assists, but he is considered an offensive-minded defenseman capable of lighting the lamp at any time.
You could also look at his 2+ assists (+280), and I plan to put a little on both.
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. Good luck!
