Here are theScore's sample Squad Up lineups for Saturday's games beginning at 7 p.m. EST and later:
The Red-Hot Lineup
| POS | NAME | OPP | FPPG | SALARY |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C | Sean Monahan (CGY) | at WPG | 14.9 | 46K |
| LW | Johnny Gaudreau (CGY) | at WPG | 15.7 | 58K |
| RW | Phil Kessel (PIT) | at VAN | 17.8 | 59K |
| D | Rasmus Ristolainen (BUF) | vs. CLB | 19.3 | 53K |
| G | Brian Elliott (CGY) | at WPG | 20.1 | 80K |
The Flames have been the league's hottest team lately. Monahan and Gaudreau have done much of the heavy lifting, combining for 34 points during Calgary's 13-2-1 run. Elliott has also been fantastic, sporting a .931 SV% in his last 14 games. Ristolainen will face a Columbus team likely without Sergei Bobrovsky in net.
Shots Fired Lineup
| POS | NAME | OPP | FPPG | SALARY |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C | Auston Matthews (TOR) | at CAR | 19.8 | 63K |
| LW | Mike Hoffman (OTT) | at COL | 17.8 | 62K |
| RW | Oliver Bjorkstrand (CLB) | at BUF | 11.3 | 29K |
| D | Erik Karlsson (OTT) | at COL | 22.8 | 64K |
| G | Brian Elliott (CGY) | at WPG | 20.1 | 80K |
Matthews, Hoffman and Karlsson all take plenty of shots. Even Bjorkstrand is averaging nearly two shots per game. The Sens have the best matchup of the bunch against the hopeless Avalanche. Carolina has had issues in net all year and Buffalo could opt to rest Robin Lehner in the second game of a home-and-home.
