1/12 NHL Stack Report
- Toronto Maple Leafs 1
Bunting – Matthews – Kase (FanDuel: $20,600 | DraftKings: $18,100)
– On a small slate its hard to not look at a line like Toronto’s top line. Matthews has carried this line and as a result both Bunting and Kase have benefitted. I really like how well they’ve been able to play together during Marner’s absence their prices have remained fairly reasonable despite their recent success. Matthews himself is off to another stellar season with 37 points in 31 games, with an average well over four SOGs per game. I’ll be starting my builds with Matthews tonight as the Leafs are suiting up against the league bottom feeders in the Arizona Coyotes on the second half of a back-to-back. It should come as no surprise that the Leafs have the highest implied total at 4.3 and spectacular odds at -330.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Morgan Rielly (FD: $6,700 | DK: $6,500) - Dallas Stars 1
Robertson – Hintz – Pavelski (FanDuel: $21,300 | DraftKings: $18,900)
– I dont think there have been lines that have been more complete than Dallas’ top line. Every member of this line knows their role and regularly contributes. So much so, that they’re a positive factor in every game Dallas’ plays. They are currently on a bit of a hot streak as well with 21 combined points over their last five games (9 G, 12 A). They average around 18 minutes a game and all see time on Dallas’ top power play unit. Tonight they’ll but up against one of the worst teams in the league, expansion side Seattle Kraken, who have lost their last six games and are 1-7-2 over their last 10. Starting between the pipes for the Kraken is Philipp Grubauer who has been one of the worst starting goalies this season posting an abysmal 3.34 GAA along with a .882 SV%. This will give Dallas a great opportunity to avenge their last game where the lead and their four-game win streak slipped out of their grasp late in the game against the high-flying Blues. Unsurprisingly, the stars are heavy favourites at -205 and have an implied total of 3.6 goals. Expect the Stars to put on a clinic tonight at American Airlines Centre (Dallas, TX).

1/12 NHL Wild Card Targets
Jeff Petry (FD: $3,700 | DK: $4,900) (Better on FD)
– The Montreal Canadiens are in a bad spot tonight, that’s not a surprise to anyone. They haven’t played a game since New Year’s day and when they lost 5-2 to the Panthers. That game made their 10 on in an abysmal 1-7-2… and that one win came against a struggling Flyers side in a shootout. To say they have been bad this season is an understatement, BUT we cannot overlook the skill that we know these players have, I am not saying they’re going to win but it is worth looking at when we have quality players whose prices are at rock bottom. Especially on FanDuel, where they have been raising everyone’s price lately. Jeff Petry strikes me as a deep GPP play and the essence of a Wild Card play should be. We see someone who has had a rough start to the 2021-22 season but scored 42 points in 55 games just last season! He’ll let you fit in some of the slate’s more expensive players and has some upside. Tread with caution and for DraftKings, I would largely disregard this as the value just isn’t there. Instead, I would stick with Ilya Mikheyev (DK $3,900, 5 points in four games since coming off COVID Protocol).
Honorable Mention(s): Ilya Mikheyev (Better on DK), Matt Grzelcyk, Alex Kerfoot
Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)
Centre – Auston Matthews
Winger – Jason Robertson
Defence – Matt Grzelcyk
Goalie – Jake Oettinger
