| 25 | Anton Slepyshev (EDM) | vs. DET | High |
Hall leads the league with 29 shots through six games and will be prominently involved in what should be a high-scoring home game against the Red Wings; though he hasn't done much this season, rookie Slepyshev slotted in on a line with Hall and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins on Sunday, and could continue to do so with Matt Hendricks out.
Yakupov has shown chemistry with fellow number one pick Connor McDavid. Abdelkader and Landeskog have cooled off after hot starts, but have good matchups. Tatar hasn't lived up to his increased price tag this season, but Detroit-Edmonton should be high-scoring. Buffalo and Toronto could go back and forth, with O'Reilly, Lupul and Kane the best bets to break out.
