As a fan, tonight’s two gamer is hot garbage, but from a DFS perspective its not half bad! So buckle up and get ready for the newest edition of WinDaily’s Between the Benches! For tonight’s 1/27 NHL slate, we have a tiny 2-game slate that begins at 7:30 pm ET! Let’s get into it!
Keep in mind!!! FanDuel has updated their NHL tournaments and they now include two UTIL spots which have replaced two winger spots. DraftKings has stayed the same but don’t forget last season they revamped the scoring and added stats bonuses, so if you’re new to NHL or haven’t played in a while, check out our live stream on the WinDaily YouTube by clicking here and read through the rules on the site of your choice!
1/27 NHL Stack Report
- Vancouver Canucks 2
Pearson – Horvat – Hoglander (FanDuel: $14,600 | DraftKings: $14,500)
– Far and away the best dollar-to-point line in this slate as far as I’m concerned. Pettersson hasn’t put up the points to have VAN1 take that title but they aren’t a bad call either and will be listed in the honorable mentions. Vancouver’s second line on the other hand has crushed the game since the start of the season, anchored by top power-play Center Bo Horvat. Wingers Tanner Pearson and Nils Hoglander have also easily hit value, especially on FanDuel. I will be having a lot of shares of this line as well as the top line. Very very impressive start to the season and going up against a very shaky Matt Murray, Vancouver’s second line will be a staple in my builds tonight.
Ideal Defensive Partner: Quinn Hughes/Nate Schmidt (FD: $5,700 | DK: $6,300) - Chicago Blackhawks 1
Janmark – Suter – Kane (FanDuel: $15,700 | DraftKings: $16,200)
– This line is extremely peculiar. Aside from the mega chalk (and for good reason too) Patrick Kane, there are two very cheaply priced linemates, both with tremendous upside. Aside from the fact that they’re playing alongside Patrick Kane, both have shown signs of brilliance this season, with Pius Suter netting a hat trick two games ago and Janmark scoring in three straight games. Although Kane works as a one-off punt don’t count out his linemates as they can provide tremendous value.
Ideal Defensive Partner: Connor Murphy (FD: $4,200 | DK: $5,400)
Honorable Mention(s): Vancouver 1 (Hughes), Ottawa 1 (Chabot/Zaitzev), Chicago 2 (Murphy/Keith), Nashville 1 (Josi)
1/27 NHL Goalie Tracker
Best
- Kevin Lankinen (FD: $7,100 | DK: $7,300)
- Braden Hotlby (FD: $7,700 | DK: $8,300)
- Pekka Rinne (FD: $7,300 | DK: $8,100)
Worst
- Matt Murray (FD: $6,700 | DK: $7,000)
1/27 NHL Wild Card Targets
Connor Murphy (FD: $4,200 | DK: $5,400)
– I wouldn’t usually put a defender here but Murphy has been on abolute fire to start the season scoring five points in his last five games cracking 27 minutes of ice-time on multiple occasion. He has also been able to hit both shot and blocked shot bonuses making him extra valuable on DraftKings. He fits really well with a Chicago 1 or Chicago PP1 stack. I wouldn’t be surprised if Murphy put up another stellar performance tonight.
Honorable Mention(s): Brandon Sutter, Mikael Granlund, Connor Brown/Tim Stuezle (Works as a Stack)
Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)
Centre – Bo Horvat
Winger – Mattias Janmark/Patty Kane (Works as a Stack)
Defence – Quinn Hughes or Connor Murphy
Goalie – Kevin Lankinen or Braden Holtby
