1/5 NHL Stack Report
- Toronto Maple Leafs 1
Bunting – Matthews – Marner (FanDuel: $21,700 | DraftKings: $18,900)
– Hard to ignore the top line of the night. Edmonton is in complete disarray, from missing their star player to having severe goalie/locker room issues they are coming into tonight with a lot of extra baggage. Despite a small COVID scare earlier this week, Toronto will be coming into tonight with a nearly full strength line up and that is just a recipe for disaster for the Oilers. Toronto is near the top of the league in all offensive stats while the Oilers are near the bottom in both Goals allowed and Shots on goal allowed. Both teams are also on completely different trajectories with Toronto winning their last three for a 7-2-1 record over their last 10, while Edmonton has dropped their last four for a 2-6-2 record over their last ten. It should be no surprise that Toronto is the biggest favourite of the slate at -300 and have the highest implied total at 3.9. I would highly recommend prioritizing Toronto tonight, especially their top line.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Morgan Rielly (FD: $7,000 | DK: $5,900)
Honorable Mentions in order: TOR2 (Nylander-Tavares-Kerfoot), STL2 (Tarasenko-Thomas-Kyrou), PIT1 (Rust-Crosby-Guentzel), PIT2 (Rodrigues-Carter-Kapanen), EDM2 (Foegele-Draisaitl-Yamamoto)
1/5 NHL Goalie Tracker
Best (Goalies to Roster)
- Jack Campbell (FD: $8,600 | DK: $8,100)
- Jordan Binnington (FD: $7,800 | DK: $7,500)
Worst (Goalies to Target)
- Casey DeSmith (FD: $8,300 | DK: $7,800)
1/5 NHL Wild Card Targets
Ilya Mikheyev (FD: $4,500 | DK: $2,500)
– Ilya Mikheyev has not had the best luck this season as he began the season with a thumb injury and after just one game back went on COVID protocol. He is now back at 100% and in his last game he put away two goals including an incredible effort on a short-handed goal that showed off his killer speed and skilled mitts. Mikheyev is coming in cheap on both sites and considering the current price constraints for players on FanDuel, guys like Mikheyev can offer some breathing room to build the rest of your lineups, without compromising on quality. Mikheyev gets time on the second power-play unit (stacks with Sandin and/or Bunting) but also works as a one-off play.
Honorable Mention(s): Robert Thomas, Kasperi Kapanen
Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)
Centre – Auston Matthews
Winger – Ilya Mikheyev
Defence – Torey Krug
Goalie – Jack Campbell
