The Italian Beast

Scoring depth across the forward lines

Caufield, Boldy and Guentzel fill the left-wing slots. Geekie, Stamkos and Hischier start at centre, while Nelson and Cozens provide substantial depth on the bench.

All nine starting forwards show more than 768 prior-season fantasy points. Caufield’s 1,035.30 leads the group; Seider’s 772.00 tops the defence.

The first rivalry-week lineup still puts Alessandro just 4.43 ahead of Redhead. Strong historical depth does not guarantee an easy opener.
