5/5 NHL Stack Report
- Colorado Avalanche 1
Landeskog – MacKinnon – Rantanen (FanDuel: $24,700 | DraftKings: $25,100)
– It’s tough to ignore this line tonight, even with their hefty price tag. MacKinnon will be the chalky player of the slate and rightfully so, considering they’re up against the Sharks, who will most likely be fielding their backup goalie Josef Kornear (2-4-0 in the NHL this season) after an abysmal 5 GA performance from their start Martin Jones… against the Avalanche. In that game, this line combined for two goals and four assists. It would stand to reason that they will be able to produce a similar result tonight, especially with the highest implied totals on the slate by far at 3.9.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Cale Makar (FD: $5,800 | DK: $7,000) - Montreal Canadiens 2
Toffoli – Suzuki – Armia (FanDuel: $15,400 | DraftKings: $16,200)
– This line just can’t stop scoring (well, Toffoli and Suzuki mainly). They’ve put up insane numbers over their past seven games and are facing off tonight against one of the worst goalies in the NHL. Now, although Ottawa has proven to give the Canadiens some problems this season, it is safe to say that this line will connect yet again. Their implied total is currently set at 3.1, which still seems rather low considering the goalie they’ll be up against lets in an average of 3.74 goals per game and has a save percentage of .876… yikes. Furthermore, Ottawa take a ton of penalties and don’t have a strong enough penalty kill to avoid keeping the puck out of their net on those odd-man opportunities
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Jeff Petry (FD: $5,400 | DK: $5,900)
Honorable Mention(s): NYR1, STL1, VGK2

5/5 NHL Wild Card Targets
Kirill Kaprizov (FD: $6,600 | DK: $6,400)
– Kirill is determined to hold on to his claim to the Calder Trophy and has recently been putting in a lot of work to keep Robertson at bay. With four points over his last three, he has been converting his chances while Dallas has been struggling to keep up as of late, possibly costing them a playoff spot as we head into the final stretch of games. The secret to Kaprizov’s success is the number of scoring chances he gets. He’s averaged four shots on goal per game over his last ten and has managed to convert those chances into goals with some regularity. Even on the nights when they don’t go in, his shooting can get you enough points to salvage him as a DFS play. Vegas’ starter Marc-Andre Fleury has yet to record a win in three games against the Wild this season, and in the most recent two of those three, Kaprizov has scored.
Honorable Mention(s): Batherson, Burakovsky, Robertson
Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)
Centre – Zibanejad or MacKinnon
Winger – Tyler Toffoli
Defence – Jeff Petry
Goalie – Juuse Saros
