Linus Ullmark, OTT vs. BOS ($7,100): Ullmark offers the best bang for the buck upside in net for Monday's light slate. He has won his last two outings while stopping 34 of the 36 shots he has faced. Ullmark also went 2-0-0 versus his former Boston teammates in the 2024-25 regular season while surrendering five goals on 41 shots.
VALUE PLAYS/ONE-OFFS
