3/6 NHL Stack Report
1. Carolina Hurricanes 1
Svechnikov – Aho – Teravainen (FanDuel: $23,600 | DraftKings: $20,300)
– Here we have what is clearly the top line of the entire slate. Carolina’s top line has been on absolute fire lately as the Canes have won six of their last eight games. This line has been a consistent factor for the Canes with Aho leading the charge registering nine points over his last nine games. We have covered Seattle’s poor defence in past articles and looked at how their high GAA and low shots on goal means that either their goaltending has been horrendous, their defence is allowing prime shot opportunities or both. Either way, it makes me strongly believe that Carolina will take over the slate tonight. All three of the top liners play on the Canes top power-play unit and see around 20 minutes of ice time a game.

2. Tampa Bay Lightning 1
Palat – Point – Kucherov (FanDuel: $23,800 | DraftKings: $20,700)
– Tampa has the highest implied total of the entire slate at 4.1. That’s a combination of Tampa’s juggernaut offence alongside what has been a very lacklustre defence on the part of the Chicago Blackhawks. Injuries and controversies derailed what could’ve been a breakout season for the Hawks. Instead, they sit near the bottom of the league in both goals allowed and shots on goal allowed, while doing even worse offensively averaging just 2.46 goals per game. Fleury has been a bit of a bright spot for the Hawks but even so, he hasn’t been able to stop the onslaught by himself and the Chicago defence usually keeps him pretty vulnerable. This is a horrible thing to do against a team like Tampa. Tampa’s top line is stacked with lethal shooters who can be dangerous from most parts of the ice. Specifically Kucherov and Point, both have been killing it as of late, Kucherov himself has 10 points over his last six games and point has 8. Even at home, I don’t see the Hawks standing much of a chance here tonight. All three of the Lightning’s top liners see anywhere from 17-20 minutes of ice-time per game and see power-play time with Point and Kuch on the top unit and Palat on the second unit.

3/6 NHL Goalie Tracker
Best (Goalies to Roster)
- Igor Shesterkin (FD: $8,300 | DK: $7,600)
- Antti Raanta (FD: $8,400 | DK: $8,200)
Honorable Mention(s): Robin Lehner, Andrei Vasilevskiy
Worst (Goalies to Target)
- Philipp Grubauer (FD: $6,900 | DK: $7,200)
Honorable Mention(s): Zach Sawchenko
3/6 NHL Wild Card Targets
Connor Brown (FD: $5,100 | DK: $4,100)
– Brown has been an assist machine as of late with five assists over his last five games. He’s also been shooting the puck a lot more frequently lately as he’s got 10 shots on goal over his last two games and he consistently sees over 20 minutes of ice-time per game. According to current lineup projections, he will be getting a boost to the top line for tonight’s game alongside established top liners Brady Tkachuk and Josh Norris with the extended absence of Drake Batherson. Brown also sees time on the second power-play unit and the Sens will be facing off against a goalie in Lehner who’s dropped two of his last three with a GAA of over 3 in that time.
Honorable Mention(s): Brady Skjei, Paul Stastny, Chris Kreider
