Allan Fabrykant We’re back with what will be the last article til Christmas. A rise in COVID-19 cases around the league have led to the NHL taking a pause, so tonight we only have two games and keep an eye on both as they could drop off the card at any moment. So, let’s get ready for the newest edition of WinDaily’s Between the Benches! For tonight’s 12/21 NHL slate, the slate begins at 7:00 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Let’s get into it!
12/21 NHL Stack Report
- Vegas Golden Knights 1
Pacioretty – Stephenson – Dadonov (FanDuel: $21,500 | DraftKings: $16,900)
– Vegas has been playing some unreal hockey as of late and are coming into tonight’s home game on a five game winning streak. This matchup promises to be some of the best hockey we have seen to this point as both Vegas and Tampa are barely leading in their respective division and want to take that positive momentum into the new year. Both teams are offensively talented but statistically Vegas has a clear edge in offensive stats with the Lightning excelling more in the defensive stats. This line is especially favorable on DraftKings where you get a discount on Pacioretty’s linemates. As this is a two gamer there aren’t many top lines to choose from and frankly its between Vegas’ top line and Washington. Both are viable tonight but in terms of DFS I like what I’ve been seeing out of Patches’ line a little more.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Shea Theodore (FD: $6,100 | DK: $5,100)
Honorable Mention(s): WAS1 (Ovechkin-Eller-Wilson), PHI2 (Atkinson-Giroux-Lindblom)
12/21 NHL Goalie Tracker
Best (Goalies to Roster)
- Robin Lehner (FD: $8,100 | DK: $7,800)
Honorable Mention: Ilya Samsonov
Worst (Goalies to Target)
- Carter Hart (FD: $7,800 | DK: $7,500)
12/21 NHL Wild Card Targets
Evgenii Dadonov (FD: $4,700 | DK: $3,100)
– Because of Mark Stone’s injury, Dadonov has now found himself a spot on Vegas’ top line. Although Dadonov has struggled to find scoring consistently this season, his move to play alongside one of the league’s top talents in Max Pacioretty will benefit him greatly in tonight’s game. Because of his price and stackability with Pacioretty, I would strongly recommend considering Dadonov for your builds tonight.
Honorable Mention(s): Lars Eller, Anthony Cirelli
Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)
Winger – Max Pacioretty
Winger – Alex Ovechkin
Defence – Shea Theodore
Goalie – Robin Lehner
