5/8 NHL Stack Report
- Florida Panthers 2
Huberdeau – Bennett – Tippett (FanDuel: $15,100 | DraftKings: $15,200)
– This line is still a great play, and in the last article, they came through for us in a big way yet again. 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 currently have an implied total of 2.8, and considering that number is coming against the defending cup champs, I really think Florida is in a good spot here.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Mackenzie Weegar (FD: $4,200 | DK: $5,500) - Vegas Golden Knights 2
Smith – Karlsson– Marchessault (FanDuel: $16,800 | DraftKings: $15,100)
– With Patches out, this line has truly taken a strong role in the Golden Knight’s success as of late. Tonight against the Blues backup, this line will truly have an opportunity to shine, Husso’s SV% currently sits at .885, and his GAA is around 3.46, and Vegas currently hold a 3.2 Implied Total which is still rather low if you ask me. This line on the Golden Knights was able to do more damage last night against the same team with a better goalie. I would 100% recommend giving this line a shot to help out salary-wise.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Alec Martinez (FD: $4,700 | DK: $6,700)
Honorable Mention(s): TOR1 and EDM1 are the top money stacks. Use top plays to fill in the lines.

5/8 NHL Wild Card Targets
Kirill Kaprizov (FD: $6,700 | DK: $6,900)
– Kap now has a six-point cushion against late riser Jason Robertson and he is coming off a two-point game last night against the Anaheim Ducks. Tonight, Kaprizov will again face off against the Ducks but it will be up against the Ducks backup Ryan Miller who is having one of the worst statistical seasons of his career with a 3.49 GAA and a .885 SV%. With the Wild’s Implied Total currently set at 3.6, it is safe to assume that Vegas strongly believes that Kaprizov will be getting into the scoring action tonight.
Honorable Mention(s): Chychrun, Necas, Oshie, Burakovsky, Beauvillier
Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)
Centre – Sam Bennett/Auston Matthews
Winger – Jonathan Huberdeau
