In this article, the 8/30 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 three games for tonight’s main slate of the second round of the play-offs, check out the top plays below.
8/30 NHL Stack Report
- Colorado Avalanche Two
Burakovsky – Kadri – Nichushkin (FanDuel: $14,000 | DraftKings: $13,200)
– There is an inherent risk going with the second line over the overloaded top line. However, in GPP formats the second line has higher upside. Not to mention, in their last game Colorado’s second line outscored their top line. Although Colorado’s top line is a solid option, I would much rather utilize the second line as a salary saver in GPP formats. If going with the top line, I would pair them with Sam Girard. This game would be the ideal game stack as both goalies have been extremely unreliable with both teams starters succumbing to injury.
Ideal Defensive Partner: Ryan Graves (FD: $3,800 | DK: $4,700) - Vegas Golden Knights One
Pacioretty – Karlsson – Stone (FanDuel: $20,800 | DraftKings: $19,100)
– This line is continuing their stellar playoff performance. Last night against Markstrom, Stone potted the third and final goal for the Knights in their shutout win. Along with Pacioretty’s goal in the second game and each line member getting a point in the first game, this line has show up to every single game against the Canucks and Vancouver doesn’t seem to have an answer for them at this point.
Ideal Defensive Partner: Shea Theodore (FD: $6,400 | DK: $6,200)
Honorable Mention(s): Vancouver Canucks One – Hughes, Colorado Avalanche One – Makar, Philadelphia Flyers – Sanheim
8/30 NHL Goalie Tracker
Best
- Pavel Francouz (FD: $7,800 | DK: $8,000)
- Robin Lehner (FD: $8,600 | DK: $8,100)
Honorable Mention(s): Carter Hart
Worst
- Jacob Markstrom (FD: $7,400|DK: $7,700)
8/30 NHL Wild Card of the Day
Tyler Toffoli (FD: $5,600 | DK: $5,100)
– Despite a soft second game back Toffoli, notched three points in his on ice return. As Vancouver looks to bounce back after last night’s shutout loss Toffoli represents a strong contrarian option against the Vegas chalk.
Honorable Mention(s): Alex Tuch
Core Four:
C – Nazem Kadri
W – Andre Burakovsky
W – Mark Stone
D – Ryan Graves

Stone-Pacioretty-MacKinnon – Putting Up Points – NMac has put up at least two points in his last five games and has solidified himself as Colorado’s top scorer. As a fantasy option, he holds a hefty price tag but on MKF he’s almost a no-brainer. As for Stone and Patches both have performed extremely well against Markstrom to this point with a combined five points in three games. If Vegas will get the win tonight, I expect Vegas’ top line to make a strong impact, especially coming off yesterday’s hot performance.
Honorable Mention: Mark Stone to break the expected fantasy point total.
