1/23 NHL Stack Report

1. St. Louis Blues 1
   O’Reilly – Schenn – Perron (FanDuel: $16,900 | DraftKings: $16,800)
   – The Blues have been on quite the roll as of late posting six wins over their last eight games, their offense in particular has been clicking as of late as the Blues have scored at least 5 goals in each of their last three games. This line in particular has been responsible for a lot of the uptick in offense as these three have been involved in 8 of the Blues last 15 goals. The whole Blues top line also plays on their top power play unit. The Blues are coming into tonight with a 3.1 implied goal total and are up against a Canucks side who have dropped four of their last six contests. The Canucks starting goaltender Thatcher Demko has been extremley inconsistent this season and is currently projected to be sidelined as he is on the Canucks COVID-19 list. Since their back-up Jaroslav Halak is also on the COVID-19 list, the Canucks may have to turn to rookie goalie Spencer Martin again, who despite having a strong performance in his last contest against the Panthers has not had enough NHL experience to deal with a lot of setbacks. If the Blues can pounce on the Canucks early, this one could get ugly.
   Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Torey Krug (Colton Parayko works as a salary saver) (FD: $5,500 | DK: $5,400)
   
2. Florida Panthers 1
   Verhaeghe – Barkov – Reinhart (FanDuel: $21,500 | DraftKings: $20,000)
   – The Panthers have easily been one of the best offensive teams in hockey as of late, as they currently sit first in the league with eight wins over their last ten games. The whole Panthers top line is among their team’s top five in scoring and are coming into the slate at a very reasonable price for a powerhouse line (ie TOR1 or COL1). As far as I see it, the Panthers top line are far and away the top high-end play of the slate and I would prioritize getting them in your line up tonight for their matchup against the Seattle Kraken. The Panthers have the highest implied total of the slate at 4.0 and it is very justified as the Kraken currently allow an average of 3.6 GA/G and currently sit as the fourth-worst team in the entire league. The starting goalie for the Kraken, Philipp Grubauer has been abysmal this season with a 9-15-4 record along with a 3.26 GAA and a .883 SV%. Despite some recent success against the Sharks and the Hawks, Grubauer hasn’t shown up against an offense like the Panthers and I predict that he will struggle mightly with them in tonight’s matchup. Of Florida’s top two lines, the top line has been performing better as of late but the second line with Jonathan Huberdeau is also playable as the Panthers have scoring threats up and down their lineup. Over their last two games alone, their top line has been involved in five of the Panthers’ six goals and all of the Panthers’ top line players play on the Panthers power-play with Reinhart and Barkov on the first unit and Verhaeghe on the second unit.
   Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Aaron Ekblad (Brandon Montour works as a salary saver) (FD: $7,000 | DK: $7,300)
   
   Honorable Mention(s): CBJ1 (Nyquist-Jenner-Bjorkstrand), NJD1 (Bratt-Hughes-Sharangovich), OTT1 (Batherson-Norris-Tkachuk)

1/23 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

1. Sergei Bobrovsky (FD: $8,400 | DK: $8,400)
2. Jordan Binnington (Ville Husso is better if he plays) (FD: $7,900 | DK: $8,000)
   Honorable Mention(s): Mackenzie Blackwod

Worst (Goalies to Target)

1. Matt Murray (FD: $7,200 | DK: $7,700)
   Honorable Mention(s): Philipp Grubauer
   

1/23 NHL Wild Card Targets

Yegor Sharangovich (FD: $4,300 | DK: $4,100) 
– With the way Sharangovich has been playing, I am honestly shocked that he’s remained as cheap as he is. Especially on FanDuel where they have raised player prices tremendously high this season. Sharangovich sees top-line minutes alongside Hughes and Bratt and over his last six games, he has scored six points (4 G, 2 A) and has averaged 3 shots a game. Tonight, Sharangovich and the Devils will be up against a Kings side that is currently on a three-game skid and has a sub-par record on the road of just 7-6-3. The Devils have an implied total of 2.9 and the goalie they’re going up against (Quick) has surrendered 9 goals over his last two starts.
Honorable Mention(s): Nils Hoglander, Calle Jarnkrok, Alex Formenton-Artem Zub (small value stack)
