Welcome to Win Daily’s fifth edition of the NHL Between the Benches! In this article, the 8/23 NHL Between the Benches, we will look at the top NHL stacks on the slate, rank the best goalie spots to target and provide a core four that you can use to start building your lines! There are only two games for tonight’s main slate of the second round of the play-offs, check out the top plays below.
8/23 NHL Stack Report
- Tampa Bay Lighting Two
Killorn – Cirelli – Johnson (FanDuel: $13,800 | DraftKings: $10,500)
– The main draw to this line is Anthony Cirelli who has posted three points in his last three games with two points coming in the last game against the Blue Jackets. Not to mention his linemate Killorn will slot into the top power play unit with Stamkos sitting this one out. This line offers a nice contrarian play against Tampa’s top line chalk who will be more than occupied dealing with Boston’s top line. Not to mention the entire line is extremely cheap on Draft Kings.
Ideal Defensive Partner: Ryan McDonagh (FD: $4,400 | DK: $3,200) - Vegas Golden Knights One
Pacioretty – Karlsson – Stone (FanDuel: $20,500 | DraftKings: $18,000)
– This line has simply been spectacular throughout these playoffs and despite the odds rough spot they have proven to be simply too much for teams to handle. Vegas will have their toughest challenge yet in these playoffs against the Canucks but the smart money is on the Golden Knights maintaining their momentum into this series against the Canucks. This line should average around 20 minutes of ice-time and are guaranteed power play minutes alongside Shea Theodore.
Ideal Defensive Partner: Shea Theodore (FD: $6,200 | DK: $6,000)
Honorable Mention(s): Vancouver Canucks One – Hughes
8/23 NHL Goalie Tracker
Best
- Robin Lehner (FD: $8,300 | DK: $8,000)
- Andrei Vasilevskiy (FD: $8,600 | DK: $7,800)
Worst
- N/A (FD: $-,—|DK: $-,—)
8/23 NHL Wild Card of the Day
Tyler Toffoli (FD: $4,500 | DK: $4,900)
– Keep an eye on Toffoli, although he is currently listed as DTD. There is a chance he could see the ice for Game One against the Golden Knights and although it would depend heavily on where he slots in. He is currently listed as a huge bargain if he is given a role on the top two lines. Coming off an injury he is definitely a GPP play but there is a lot of upside to this play. He also works as a one-off punt if he does play.
Honorable Mention(s): Alex Tuch
Core Four:
C – William Karlsson
W – Brock Boeser
W – Mark Stone
D – Chris Tanev

Stone-Pacioretty-Boeser – Putting Up Points – Boeser has been piling on the points in both the play-in and play-off rounds, however, he has truly found his groove against the Blues with four assists in just two games! The other two are listed from tonight’s top stack and although Patches is coming back from an injury, his linemate Stone has been extremely productive with seven points in six playoff games, both players feature on Vegas’ top power-play together and will figure to crack the 20-minute mark.
Honorable Mention: Brock Boeser to break the expected fantasy point total.
