GOALIES
Jeremy Swayman, BOS at NYR ($7,800): Swayman has won six of his past eight outings. He has allowed two goals or fewer five times during that stretch, including a 27-save performance in a 10-2 victory over the Rangers on Jan. 10.
Karel Vejmelka, UTA at TBL ($7,100): Vejmelka has a challenging matchup, but his superb play for the red-hot Mammoth makes him an intriguing value option for Monday's slate. He has won his last eight outings while stopping 195 of the 211 shots he has faced.
VALUE PLAYS/ONE-OFFS
Connor McDavid, EDM vs. ANA ($8,600): McDavid has amassed eight goals and 20 points across 12 games in January. He has seven multi-point efforts during that span and eight power-play points (three goals, five assists).
Brandon Hagel, TBL vs. UTA ($7,500): Hagel has been held off the scoresheet once in his last 12 outings, compiling seven goals on 36 shots and 11 assists during that span. He has one goal and three points in three previous contests against Utah.
Dylan Guenther, UTA at TBL ($6,800): Guenther has compiled two goals, six assists and 17 shots in his last five matches. He has three multi-point efforts during that span, including consecutive two-assist performances.
FORWARD LINE STACK
Bruins at Rangers
David Pastrnak (W - $7,900), Marat Khusnutdinov (W - $4,500), Elias Lindholm (C - $6,300)
Pastrnak has two goals, 23 shots and seven assists during his six-game point streak. Khusnutdinov has two goals and three shots on net in his past five outings, while Lindholm has one goal, four helpers and five shots in four appearances heading into Monday's slate.
Boston's top line combined for four goals and nine assists against the Rangers on Jan. 10. It's unlikely that they will erupt offensively in the same manner in Monday's meeting. However, the Bruins should have a wealth of confidence against an opponent that has allowed the most goals per game (4.60) in January.
DEFENSEMEN
Evan Bouchard, EDM vs. ANA ($7,100): Bouchard has amassed three goals, six assists, 19 shots and four blocks in his last five games. He is coming off an incredible six-point performance against Washington on Saturday, which included a hat trick on eight shots. Bouchard had one goal, 13 shots and five points in four games against the Ducks last season.
Charlie McAvoy, BOS at NYR ($6,500): McAvoy has generated three goals, 11 assists, 13 shots and 26 blocks in his last 12 appearances. He has two tallies and eight points in six games going into Monday's action. McAvoy has two goals and three assists over a four-game point spree against the Rangers.
