1/9 NHL Stack Report

1. St. Louis Blues 2
   Kyrou – Schenn – Thomas (FanDuel: $17,000 | DraftKings: $15,500)
   – It’s really hard to ignore what this line has been able to accomplish as of late, and with Tarasenko dropping off due to COVID-19 protocol, this line is actually very affordable despite their recent success. Each member of this line has at least four points in their last three games (Kyrou has 9 in his last 4) meaning that they’ve been able to find consistent success alone and as a group considering they have been together for one game. This afternoon, they’ll be coming in as the home favourites against a team that pulled out a gritty 3-2 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins yesterday. The Blues have more offensive threats than the Pens were able to offer yesterday and are currently 4th in the league in goals per game this season and today that’ll be emphasized further as Holtby is set to start for the Stars. Holby has lost three of his last four starts and even in his last start where he won, he still coughed up 5 goals. The Blues also hold the highest implied total of the slate at 3.4. For this two gamer, I would highly recommend starting your builds with the Blues second line.
   Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Torey Krug (FD: $5,100 | DK: $5,400)
   
2. Dallas Stars 1
   Robertson – Hintz – Pavelski (FanDuel: $22,000 | DraftKings: $19,700)
   – It was hard to pick a second line for today’s slate but there’s no doubting the recent success Dallas’ top line has had. These three have been clicking as a unit, including in yesterday’s game where they were involved in all three goals in the comeback win. Dallas is in a tricky spot in the back-to-back here but their chances of winning this game starts with their top line. I have been extremely impressed with the performances of Jason Robertson in particular and if you need to prioritize one player of this line, make it Robertson. The Stars are going up against a rather inconsistent goaltender in Jordan Binnington and that can play to their advantage. Neither team in this game is particularly defensive minded and can work well together in a game stack. The Stars are also currently on a four-game winning streak where they have scored at least three goals in each of those games so there is definitely something to be said about their success as of late. Their price makes it a difficult line to work with (especially on FanDuel) but if you can squeeze in at least a couple of pieces from this line, they have the potential to pay of big time!
   Ideal Defensive Partner(s): John Klingberg (FD: $4,900 | DK: $5,200)
   
   Honorable Mention(s): DET1 (Bertuzzi-Larkin-Raymond), DAL2 (Benn-Seguin-Gurianov)

1/9 NHL Wild Card Targets

Trevor Zegras (FD: $6,200 | DK: $6,200) 
– He’s finally back. After clearing the extended COVID-19 protocol and shaking off a few cobwebs, this is the first game back where I am comfortable hopping back on the Zegras train. It’s a small two-gamer so there isn’t a lot of other top spots to go and as far as Zegras goes, he is the definition of a wild card. It’s hard to say what’ll happen but Detroit is coming in on the second half of a road back-to-back with their goalie Nedjelkovic facing 41 shots! Detroit will be very tired with the Ducks implied total set to 3.0, I am very interested in Zegras today as either a one-off play OR alongside winger Sonny Milano
Honorable Mention(s): Denis Gurianov, Tyler Bertuzzi

Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)
