FORWARD LINE STACK
Capitals vs. Predators
Alex Ovechkin (W - $6,600), Dylan Strome (C - $5,800), Anthony Beauvillier (W - $3,000)
Ovechkin has chipped in two goals, six points and 31 shots in his last nine games. Strome wrapped up January with six goals and 12 points in 11 games, but he hasn't picked up a point in two outings to begin February. On the other hand, Beauvillier has two goals on four shots and one assist in the past two matches.
Washington's top line has plenty of "bang-for-the-buck" potential for Thursday's slate. Nashville is coming off a 6-5 overtime loss to Minnesota on Wednesday after defeating St. Louis on Monday in another 6-5 decision.
DEFENSEMEN
Taylor Raddysh, TBL vs. FLA ($6,700): Raddysh has registered five goals and four assists during a five-game point streak. He has three straight multipoint performances over that stretch, along with five blocked shots and 21 shots on net.
