3/30 NHL Stack Report
1. Winnipeg Jets 1
Ehlers – Scheifele – Stastny (FanDuel: $19,500 | DraftKings: $16,800)
– Connor has been listed as out today due to COVID-19 protocol. As a result, Stastny will be coming into the top line, adding much appreciated value to an already favorable line in tonight’s slate. Winnipeg has been on quite the run as of late, winning 8 of their last 11 games. Mainly led by the offense produced by this top line. Winnipeg has been averaging over 3 goals a game this season and their top line centre, Mark Scheifele is registering over a point per game on the season as well. On tonight’s slate they have been matched up against the Buffalo Sabres who have been able to somewhat steer their ship around toward the end of the season, but not nearly enough to be a competitive team moving forward. They still sit with one of the worst GAA in the league at 3.51 as well as one of the worst shot on goal allowed averages at 33.7 and penalty kill percentages at 75%. Despite Winnipeg being a middle-of-the pack team on both sides of the puck, their matchup and their line cost are what really boost their value tonight. Vegas certainly agrees as they currently have them pinned at a 3.3 implied goal total at the time of writing.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Josh Morrissey (FD: $5,900 | DK: $4,800)
2. San Jose Sharks 1
Meier – Hertl – Barabanov (FanDuel: $20,000 | DraftKings: $16,200)
– Here we are back to the well on the San Jose Sharks, as tonight, they are matched up against a team we have spoken about in previous articles, the Arizona Coyotes. The Yotes have been beyond bad this season and instantly raise the value of whoever their opponent is on any given night. The Coyotes currently sit on a six game losing skid where they have averaged 4 goals against per game. There is really no stat category where the Yotes are even slightly redeemable and the Sharks just seem to be that team who got the lucky draw in their opponents tonight. Vegas bookies certainly believe that they will capitalize on their advantage tonight as they are currently set at a 3.4 implied goal total. All three of the Sharks top liners see power play time with Meier and Hertl on the top unit and Barabanov on the Sharks Second Unit. Barabanov’s place on the top line as a salary saver gives me further cause to prioritize the Sharks top line on tonight’s 3/30 six-game slate.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Brent Burns (FD: $5,700 | DK: $6,100)

3/30 NHL Goalie Tracker
Best (Goalies to Roster)
- James Reimer (FD: $7,700 | DK: $7,900)
- Connor Hellebuyck (FD: $8,300 | DK: $8,000)
Honorable Mention(s): Ville Husso
Worst (Goalies to Target)
- Karel Vejmelka (FD: $6,800 | DK: $7,500)
Honorable Mention(s): Alex Nedjelkovic
3/30 NHL Wild Card Targets
Frank Vatrano (FD: $4,200 | DK: $2,800)
– Vatrano has made quite the splash since joining his new team. He came from playing a bottom six role on a stacked Panthers lineup to the top line of a very top heavy Rangers lineup. His addition moved Panarin down to the second line with Andrew Copp (a good GPP stack in their own right) and he currently sits at four goals over his last three games against some tough competition. His time on ice is a little inconsistent but he is getting a lot of opportunities to produce points in his current role with the Rangers. He is also being given time on the Rangers second power play unit and is up against one of the worst defensive teams in the league in the Detroit Red Wings. The Wings sit dead last in goals allowed per game as well as dead last in their penalty kill, only killing off 72.4% of penalties. Their goaltending isn’t much better as Nedeljkovic sits at 3.26 Goals against per game with a 17-20-7 record, as starters go, it doesn’t get too much worse than that. Especially at Vatrano’s price, I definitely recommend taking a shot on the Rangers top liner.
