11/28 NHL Stack Report
- Toronto Maple Leafs 1
Marner – Matthews – Bunting (FanDuel: $21,000 | DraftKings: $19,600)
– The Leafs have easily been one of the hottest teams in hockey as of late as they have won 13 of their last 15 games. One major difference from last season is that scoring has been much more evenly spread compared to last season but it is clear that the Leafs’ top players are leading their charge as of late. Because of this it is difficult to choose between the Leafs two top lines as both are in play in tonight’s small slate but I would slightly lean towards the top line as they see more ice time and have been a little more consistent in getting points throughout the Leafs recent run of form. Unsurprisingly, the Leafs are carrying one of the largest implied totals on the slate at 3.2 only behind Boston. Also of note is the Ducks horrible discipline, they are near the bottom of the league in penalty minutes per game and that a very bad stat to have troubles in against a stacked Leafs team. Expect the Leafs to continue their strong run of form tonight against the Ducks. A solid cash strategy for tonight would be building around either TOR1 or BOS1 (or both if you can).
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Morgan Rielly (FD: $6,300 | DK: $5,500) - San Jose Sharks 1
Meier – Couture – Balcers (FanDuel: $15,900 | DraftKings: $14,100)
– Marc-Andre Fleury really looked like he turned a corner this season but his last game took away a lot of the progress he has made as of late as the Flames put three by him en route to a 5-2 win over the Blackhawks. The hard part about this game is we just dont know what version of Marc-Andre Fleury we are going to get this game. Regardless, its important to know that the Sharks top line have been on quite a roll as of late, especially Timo Meier who has 18 points in 15 games. The other key fact about Meier is that he is a shot machine, averaging 4.4 shots per game this season. His linemates are also relatively affordable for a top line and his centre Logan Couture also joins him on San Jose’s top power play unit. They will be a lower owned option tonight but they can provide excellent value in GPP formats.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Brent Burns (Mario Ferraro as a cheaper option works) (FD: $5,600 | DK: $6,600)
Honorable Mention(s): NJD2 (Bratt-Mercer-Johnsson), BOS1 (Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak)
11/28 NHL Goalie Tracker
Best (Goalies to Roster)
- Jack Campbell (FD: $8,100 | DK: $8,000)
- James Reimer (FD: $7,400 | DK: $7,600)
Honorable Mention(s): Mackenzie Blackwood
Worst (Goalies to Target)
- Thatcher Demko (FD: $6,700 | DK: $7,200)
Honorable Mention(s): Martin Jones
11/28 NHL Wild Card Targets
Dawson Mercer (FD: $4,700 | DK: $4,700)
– For his price, Mercer has been excellent as he has 8 points in his last 8 games and will be going up against a Flyers side who has been abysmal as of late, losing their last five games. Further to that point, the Flyers will be starting back-up Martin Jones as regular starter Carter Hart coughed up six goals in his last game. Jones is coming into tonight on a three-game losing streak and at Mercer’s price, it’s hard to stray away from him on this small slate with all the signs pointing to a strong night for the Devils. Vegas agrees as they currently have the Devils implied total at 3.3 and currently list the Devils as a -139 favourite at the time of writing. Mercer does see power play time on the second unit and sees anywhere from 16 to 18 minutes of ice time per game. Mercer’s linemates are good value plays as well (Andreas Johnsson, Jesper Bratt) but he also can work as a one off play.
Honorable Mention(s): Troy Terry, Brandon Hagel, William Nylander, Trevor Zegras, Tomas Tatar
