NHL DFS Between the Benches for DraftKings and FanDuel (Aug. 8)

Welcome to WinDaily’s first edition of the NHL Between the Benches! In this article, the 8/8 NHL Between the Benches, we will look at the top NHL stacks on the slate, rank the best and the worst 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 round robin series, check out the top plays below.

8/8 NHL Stack Report

1. Philadelphia Flyers Two 
   Konecny – Hayes – Laughton (FanDuel: $16,500 | DraftKings: $13,500)
   – This line has been responsible for four goals in the past two games, they will be up against stiff competition in Vasilevskiy but there aren’t many great goalies to target in tonight’s slate. Furthermore, Konecny led the Flyers in points and goals this season so its no surprise that he’s been able to continue his production through the round-robin playoff games.
   Ideal Defensive Partner: Ivan Provorov (FD: $4,700 | DK: $5,000)
2. Colorado Avalanche One 
   Namestikov – MacKinnon – Rantanen (FanDuel: $20,700 | DraftKings: $16,500)
   – Very hard to ignore Nathan MacKinnon and its hard to squeeze him in tonight but its made a little easier with cheaper pieces like Namestikov and Graves alongside him. This line is also going up against who I think is the most questionable goalie of the stacked goaltending lineup today, Fleury. MacKinnon will be necessary for cash games and has a chance of breaking tomorrow’s two-game slate.
   Ideal Defensive Partner: Ryan Graves (FD: $4,000 | DK: $4,500)
   Honorable Mention(s): Tampa Bay Lightning Two – McDonagh, Vegas Golden Knights One – Theodore

2. Philipp Grubauer (FD: $8,400 | DK: $7,900)

8/8 NHL Wild Card of the Day

Ryan Graves (FD: $4,000 | DK: $4,500) 
– Graves has always been my reliable go-to defenseman when Colorado is on the slate and I can’t remember a time where he let me down. Graves is always in the play, has amazing Corsi numbers and gets a lot of peripheral and primary stats so even if he doesn’t get on the score sheet, his shots and blocked shots should hold himself up as an excellent pick
Honorable Mention(s): Alex Tuch

Core Four:

C – Nathan MacKinnon

W – Travis Konecny

W – Mark Stone

D – Ryan Graves

Kucherov-MacKinnon-Stone – Putting Up Points – Easy picking NMac and Stone, its difficult because it seems like there will be four stud goalies starting tomorrow but at least one or two of them will have to give. I expect Kucherov to be Hart’s most dangerous challenge on the Lightning for obvious reasons. The former MVP will need to work hard to get a puck past the young stud however.

Honorable Mention: Nathan MacKinnon to break the expected fantasy point total.
