We’re back with another Saturday Night Win Daily NHL Article! The playoffs are finally upon us! Tonight we have a tiny 2-game slate ahead of us, one of which is a playoff game.

5/15 NHL Stack Report

1. Boston Bruins 2
   Smith – Krejci – Hall (FanDuel: $17,100 | DraftKings: $20,800 SINGLE GAME ON DK)
   – The strategy for smaller slate GPPs is being different. Now, although it will be hard to avoid that top Power Play from Edmonton, we cannot ignore the Bruins in this spot. The B’s are a gritty team that finds a lot of success in the playoffs with their style of hockey. That being said, I see the main value piece being Boston’s second line. We haven’t seen enough consistency to justify the price tag for Boston’s top line, and Boston’s second line provides us with some differentiation in our lines while also allowing us to rely on the stats. Hall has moulded well into his role as a power-play threat and a second-line playmaker. There is a lot of potential for him and his linemates tonight as the playoffs commence.

5/15 NHL Wild Card Targets

Tyson Barrie (FD: $6,500 | DK: $8,600) 
– Tyson Barrie has been an absolute machine on the score sheet and he’s regularly on the ice with McDavid. Only good things can come from that. 16 points in his last 16 games. He finds a way to get the puck in a playable spot for McDavid and the rest is history. Keep that in mind going into today’s slate.
Honorable Mention(s): Wilson, Smith, Schultz

Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)

Centre – Connor McDavid

Winger – Taylor Hall

Defence – Tyson Barrie
