The Stars should have a field day against Oilers and backup netminder Anders Nilsson, with Spezza the top option based on his reasonable price point. Crosby and Malkin will be in tough against Canadiens netminder Carey Price, while Panthers forwards Bjugstad and Barkov are solid plays against the host Hurricanes. Ribeiro is a great punt play against Devils backup Keith Kinkaid.
