4/3 NHL Stack Report
- Colorado Avalanche 1
Rantanen – MacKinnon – Landeskog (FanDuel: $24,700 | DraftKings: $24,600)
– Oh boy, a couple of seasons ago, this matchup would’ve set the league on fire. Now it’s turned into a bit of a mismatch, not necessarily because St. Louis has gotten considerably worse but because Colorado has just gotten so much better, and their players have really solidified their roles on the team (especially this top line). This line has been producing at an insane pace and has easily the best matchup tonight against St. Louis’s struggling backup, Ville Husso. Colorado leads the league in goals per game and shots on goal per game, and much of that production is solely due to this line. It’s safe to say this one could get out of hand fast. Colorado has the slate’s second-highest implied goals total at 3.4, only behind our other top line, and we’ll get to them in a minute. Either way, 3.4 still seems low as this line comes together for Colorado’s high-performing power play and is up against one of the league’s worst penalty kills. Now this line is not cheap, so in order to be able to afford the rest of your line, I’d consider nabbing two players from the four available options (COL1+Makar). If you want more than that, though, I don’t blame you. (Look at today’s Wild Card plays for usable value options)
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Cale Makar (FD: $5,600 | DK: $6,000) - Montreal Canadiens 1
Tatar – Danault – Gallagher (FanDuel: $16,500 | DraftKings: $15,600)
– Wow, this matchup is borderline unfair, now, although Ottawa can cause some problems for teams on occasion, the raw talent just isn’t there, and since coming back from an extended break due to some players contracting COVID-19, Les Canadiens have come back with a vengeance. Especially this top line, who has scored two goals in each game since the absence with everyone getting involved. Stats-wise, this game is a bit of a joke. As mentioned above, Montreal holds the highest implied goal total on the slate at 3.7, while Ottawa holds one of the lowest on the slate at 2.4. Besides that, Montreal will be facing off against Matt Murray, who holds the abysmal stat line of 7-12-1, 3.84 GAA and .880 SV%. Pure trash. Montreal is near the top of the league in goals per game at 3.24, Ottawa is the league’s worst in goals allowed at 3.73 and near worst in shots allowed at 32.4 SOG allowed per game. Furthermore, Montreal has embarked on a bit of a winning streak, winning their last three while Ottawa has dropped their last two and now sits last in the North Division. As if that wasn’t enough, Ottawa’s home/road splits prove that they cannot play on away ice, and this game will be played at Centre Bell in Quebec, Canada. On top of all of that, this line is extremely affordable! Get ready for the fireworks tonight.

4/3 NHL Wild Card Targets
Jason Robertson (FD: $4,500 | DK: $5,000)
– Jason cannot stop producing. Last game, Robertson potted the game-winning goal en route to the Stars’ 4-1 win over the red hot Nashville Predators. That goal marked three straight games with a goal for Robertson and capped off an awe-inspiring week for the rookie winger as he notched seven points over his last seven games. It is undeniable that this is Robertson’s break-out moment. He consistently sees 20 minutes or more TOI per game and regularly gets three or more shots on target each and every game. Tonight will be a bit of a test for Jason against a talented goalie in James Reimer, but after the season Robertson has been having, he should pass this test with flying colours. Jason stacks well alongside his linemates Roope Hintz and Joe Pavelski, as well as defenseman John Klingberg.
Honorable Mention(s): Martinez, Verhaeghe, Trocheck, Fox, Donskoi
Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)
Centre – Nathan MacKinnon
