Welcome, everyone! What a week of NHL we’ve had! We are back with another weekend slate, this one like most have different games on DraftKings and FanDuel, so be sure to check when your slate locks! For tonight’s 3/27 NHL slate, as mentioned, we have a smaller five (7) gamer and the slate begins at 6:00 pm ET (5:00 pm ET on DraftKings). Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Let’s get right into it!
3/27 NHL Stack Report
1. Toronto Maple Leafs 1
Marner – Matthews – Bunting
– Despite the fact that the Leafs are really struggling to put together wins as of late, this line is certainly not the problem. Especially when Auston Matthews is leading the league in goals and in the top ten in points. Last night, this line played a role in both goals, despite the 4-2 loss to the Habs. This line has been extremely consistent as of late and are always good for a goal or two. All three of the top liners for the Leafs see power play time with Auston and Mitch on the first unit and Bunting on the second. It should come as no surprise that the Leafs are coming into tonight with an implied total of 3.7 goals, even against a high scoring team like the Panthers. Lets not forget that the Panthers are starting Spencer Knight between the pipes, his inconsistency trouble could give the Leafs goalies a run for their money!
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Morgan Rielly
2. Winnipeg Jets 1
Connor – Dubois – Wheeler
– We’re finally at the most lopsided game of the slate and yes it’s the late hammer. Winnipeg has been ok this season but currently sit just outside a playoff spot. Fortunately for them, they’re up against the Arizona Coyotes who have consistently been THE WORST team in the NHL this season, yes, worse than Montreal, and worse than Seattle. The Coyotes have been worse than any other NHL franchise this season. They also have the stats to prove it, they sit dead last or near last in almost every offensive and defensive stat category and they’ve currently embarked on a four-game losing skid as they enter Winnipeg’s home arena tonight. Winnipeg has seen a lot of success out of their top line, especially from Kyle Connor who registered two points in their last game (including a slick short-handed goal). With his last two point game, Connor currently sits at 10 points over his last five games and that fact coupled with the Jets implied total sitting at over four, it’s really hard for me to avoid the Jets in tonight’s slate.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Josh Morrissey
Honorable Mention(s): COL1 (Nichushkin-MacKinnon-Rantanen), NYR1 (Kreider-Zibanejad-Vatrano) (DK Only), PIT1 (Guentzel-Crosby-Rust) (DK Only)

Honorable Mention(s): Darcy Kuemper
Worst (Goalies to Target)
1. Karel Vejmelka
Honorable Mention(s): Jon Gillies, Carter Hart (DK Only)
3/27 NHL Wild Card Targets
Cole Caufield
– We’ve discussed Caufield’s comeback season in previous articles but the fact remains that he just doesn’t seem to slow down. Last night he registered another point giving him 9 points over his last seven games (6 of which were goals). Although Montreal is coming into tonight as an underdog, it’s really hard to tell which team has been worse between the Canadiens and the Devils. Bottom line is that Caufield will have his opportunities to score tonight as the Devils defense is really bad and their goalie Jon Gillies holds a sub .900 SV% and a 3-10-1 record.
Honorable Mention(s): Yegor Sharangovich, Joel Farabee, Mark Giordano, Andrew Copp (DK Only)
Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)
Center – Auston Matthews
Winger – Valeri Nichushkin
Defenseman – Cale Makar
Goalie – Connor Hellebuyck
