After a crazy week of games, we have reached our Friday article, and we have a lot of interesting options in today’s slate! Without further ado, for tonight’s 11/11 NHL slate, we have a small-sized four-gamer, and the slate begins at 7:00 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Let’s get right into it!
11/11 NHL Stack Report
1. Minnesota Wild 1 (Kaprizov-Gaudreau-Zuccarello)
— We’re starting off the article with the latest game of the slate as the Minnesota Wild are taking on the Seattle Kraken out west. The Kraken have been surprisingly good this season, as they have one their last five games and for the most part Martin Jones has been holding up between the pipes (Although, historically, he’s been the king of inconsistency). However, interestingly, the Kraken have had most of their success on the road while holding a losing record in their own arena with the same being true for the Wild, where they seem to dominate on the road and struggle at home. With today’s game taking place in Seattle the Wild may actually end up having a bit of an advantage based on how the season has gone to this point. (The Kraken just blanked the Wild 4-0 in Minnesota about a week ago)
The Wild have seen some decent goaltending out of Fleury but he does have the odd game where he just isn’t playing at the standard he should be. Even if the Wild haven’t been able to fully bail him out of games, they still put up a lot of points to keep it interesting. Kaprizov is far and away the star on this line. He started off the season extremly hot as he had a seven game point streak but has been a little inconsistent since then. Last game however, he pounced on the Ducks for two goals and nine shots over nearly 23 minutes of ice time. Every member of this line sees time on the Minnesota power play with Kaprizov and Zuccarello on the top line and Gaudreau on the second unit.
Odds wise, this game is coming in really close as the Wild currently have a small advantage according to the sportsbooks (-115 and a 3.4 implied goal total) but more importantly, with a line that is set at 6.5, Vegas is expect a boat load of goals out of this matchup.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Jared Spurgeon (Calen Addison is a cheaper alternative)
2. Dallas Stars 1 (Robertson-Hintz-Pavelski)
— This line has been pumping out goals left right and center. Robertson alone has embarked on a six game goal streak, which has included seven goals and give assists. His linemates aren’t too far behind him as Hintz has put up 10 points (3 goals, 7 assists) over the length of Robertson’s goal streak and Pavelski has put up 5 (2 goals, 3 assists). The Dallas Stars have been one of the most high flying offences in the NHL this season as they currently sit in fourth place in goals per game as they are averaging 3.62. On top of that, they are coming into this matchup as -226 favourite with the best implied total of the slate at 3.7 and are facing the team with the lowest implied total in the Sharks who are at 2.5 at the time of writing. The Sharks defense is extremley shaky as they have been allowing 3.29 goals per game and they have dropped their last five games. With this being on the road in Texas, I think the Sharks are facing a massive hill to climb. I never like to count out James Reimer but it wouldn’t make sense to avoid the Stars in this slate.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Miro Heiskanen
Honorable Mention(s): Toronto Maple Leafs 1 (Kerfoot-Matthews-Marner), Seattle Kraken 1 (Bjorkstrand-Wennberg-Burakovsky)
11/11 NHL Goalie Tracker
Best (Goalies to Roster)
- Andrei Vasilevskiy (Vasilevskiy has consistently been one of the best goaltenders in the NHL, he’s appeared in the top three for goalie of the year in four of the last five years. Despite a shaky start to the season, he’s coming up against one of the lowest goal producing teams in the NHL this season in the Washington Capitals who are 27th in the league in goalscoring with 2.73 goals per game. Not to mention that the Capitals have one of the lowest implied totals of the slate at 2.8. Finally, Vasilevskiy and the Lightning are coming into this one at around -150 at time of writing)
- Erik Kallgren
Honorable Mention(s): Scott Wedgewood
Worst (Goalies to Target)
1. Martin Jones
Honorable Mention(s): Marc-Andre Fleury, James Reimer
11/11 NHL Wild Card Targets
Brandon Hagel
– Hagel has been as hot as it gets. Over his last three, he scored twice and netted three assists. After a shaky first few games, Hagel has found his footing and has become a consistent scorer on the top line alongside Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point. Because of his performances, he’s seen an increase in ice time to around 18 to 19 minutes a game and has been seeing shifts on Tampa’s top power play unit. Hagel is a very affordable way to get correlation with Tampa’s top line while also picking someone who has been putting up great stats consistently.
Honorable Mention(s): Brandon Tanev, Alex Killorn, Matt Boldy
