Point has compiled six goals and two assists in the last six games. He has found the back of the net in three straight matches on the power play and he has added two assists during that stretch. Tampa Bay’s potent power play could take advantage of Nashville’s 27th-ranked penalty kill.

Stone has one goal, three assists and 10 shots in the past four games. He is showing signs of breaking out offensively after a relatively quiet November and a matchup against the struggling New Jersey Devils should help. Stone had two goals and four helpers in two games versus the Devils last year.
David Krejci (Boston) - C - $6,700 (FanDuel), $6,200 (DraftKings), $21 (Yahoo)
Krejci has been playing on the top line with Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak during Patrice Bergeron’s absence with a lower-body injury.
