5/1 NHL Stack Report

1. Florida Panthers 2
   Huberdeau – Bennett – Tippett (FanDuel: $14,500 | DraftKings: $15,700)
   – This line is still a great play and in the last article they came through for us in a big way, each member of this line has been producing for a while now, and we can still hop on before their prices truly rise. As I mentioned last slate, these players have all performed well individually but have truly harmonized as a complete line now that they’ve been paired together. Bennett has finally found his groove on his new team, and Tippett has found some success when given the opportunity to play on top lines, now paired with a bonafide league star in Jonathan Huberdeau, this line is ready to go. They have a great implied total at 3.6 and are facing a Chicago team who are starting the struggling Malcolm Subban in net. Florida is in a solid spot here.
   Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Mackenzie Weegar (FD: $4,100 | DK: $5,100)
   
2. Toronto Maple Leafs 1
   Marner – Matthews – Foligno (FanDuel: $20,400 | DraftKings: $21,500)
   – There are soooo many top lines on this slate and it was honestly difficult to pick just one but throughout the season this line has been the most consistent by a significant margin, led by the league’s top goal scorer Auston Matthews. Today is a big slate so feel free to be different in GPPs but in Cash, you’ll see ownership numbers populate around the league’s best. Considering this line still performed really well, even with one of their players taking a maintenance day I can see another successful slate for Toronto’s best. Stats-wise, they really have an upper hand in this matchup. For starters, Toronto has neutralized Vancouver in Scotiabank Arena this season, two of the three top-line players are in the top six in league scoring, they have one of the best odds on the slate and are tied for the highest implied total at an insane 3.9 implied goals for.
   Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Jake Muzzin (FD: $4,000 | DK: $5,000)
   
   Honorable Mention(s): COL1 (great goalie matchup), CAR1 (against Columbus…), EDM1(It’s a McDavid Day), OTT1 (still haven’t been shutout), NYR1

5/1 NHL Wild Card Targets

Jason Robertson (FD: $5,200 | DK: $6,200) 
– Jason has now made up some serious ground on Kaprizov for rookie of the year as he only sits two points behind now. Robertson has benefitted tremendously from his strong linemates Pavelski and Hintz who have all had amazing chemistry all season. Robertson was on a nine-game point streak prior to his team getting shut out by Tampa last game. Although Saros has been decent this season, he did cough up six last games against the Panthers. Another huge factor is the playoff implications involved in this game. Nashville and Dallas are battling hard for that final playoff spot and currently, Nashville sits two points ahead while Dallas has the game in hand, so if Dallas wins they’ll move into the fourth and final playoff spot in the central division with a game in hand as we head down the final stretch of the shortened season.
Honorable Mention(s): Hoffman, Hinostroza, Trocheck, Norris, Sharangovich, Kaprizov

Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)

Centre – Auston Matthews/Sam Bennett

Winger – Jason Robertson
