2/20 NHL Stack Report

1. Dallas Stars 1
Robertson – Hintz – Pavelski (FanDuel: $23,000 | DraftKings: $21,600)
– Hard to ignore the Dallas Stars tonight as they are going up against one of the worst teams in the league in the Arizona Coyotes. After a 1-0 shootout win in their last game, this Stars line will be hungry and ready to capitalize in their stellar matchup tonight. Outside of their last game, Dallas’ top line has consistently been solid and throughout the season we’ve seen strong performances from each member of this top line. Unsurprisingly, they’re coming into tonight with the second-highest implied total of the slate and they are a very viable option for your fantasy lines tonight. Dallas’ second line can also work as a value play but I expect the top line to see the majority of the action tonight.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Miro Heiskanen (Ryan Suter works as a salary saver) (FD: $5,000 | DK: $4,500)

2. Edmonton Oilers 1
Hyman – McDavid – Yamamoto (FanDuel: $19,900 | DraftKings: $16,000)
– This game has a line set at 6.5 for good reason. Both teams are very offensively gifted and leave something to be desired on the defensive end of the ice. Usually, that would be a good combo for a team like Minnesota, however, against the likes of McDavid and Draisaitl, being weak defensively is playing with fire. Not to mention, the Oilers are coming into this one hot after winning their last five, while the Wild have dropped their last two. McDavid alone is on a six-game point streak where he has posted 3 goals and 8 assists for 11 points over those six games. If you look over his last five, he’s a two-point per game player. Just an insane pace, even for McDavid. Minnesota’s main defensive concern is the amount of shots they allow per game which is North of 32 and as we know, when you give McDavid the opportunity he will usually rise to the occasion. His linemates are optimal as they are not too expensive but get a huge boost in value playing alongside McDavid. Edmonton’s second line is also playable but I prefer the top line.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Darnell Nurse (FD: $6,000 | DK: $6,100)

Honorable Mention(s): MIN1 (Zuccarello-Hartman-Kaprizov), CBJ1 (Laine-Jenner-Voracek), BUF1 (Skinner-Thompson-Tuch), DAL2 (Benn-Seguin-Gurianov)

2/20 NHL Wild Card Targets

Jack Eichel (FD: $5,500 | DK: $7,000) 
– I’m recommending Eichel for the same reason I recommended him the last time, he is way too cheap at his current price and we need to take advantage of that while he’s still available. Eichel just recorded his first point as a Golden Knight in his last game with a slick feed to Pacioretty. Eichel will still be seeing time on the Knights’ top power-play unit and will gear up alongside Patches for the majority of the game. Although his first two games have been a little slow, it’s only a matter of time before a bonafide talent like Eichel breaks a slate and at his current price, it’s definitely worth giving him a go.
Honorable Mention(s): Jeff Skinner, Matt Boldy, Joel Eriksson Ek, Tim Stuezle, Rudolfs Balcers
