For tonight’s 10/20 NHL slate, the slate begins at 7:30 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Let’s get into it!
10/20 NHL Stack Report
- Boston Bruins 1
Pastrnak – Bergeron – Marchand (FanDuel: $24,000 | DraftKings: $20,600)
– CASH LOCK: Ok so we can keep it really simple for this line. They are the cash line of tonight’s slate. They are one of the best lines in hockey, up there with Tampa, Toronto and Colorado’s top line. Since they are the only line near the top of the league on today’s slate, their ownership in cash games will be extremly high. (I’d assume at least 70%) Statistically, there is very good reason for this. When this line is on, they will break the slate and against a very lacklustre goalie in Jones, they are very likely to do just that. Jones had one of the worst stat lines as a goalie in the NHL last season with a 3.28 GAA and a .896 SV%. San Jose did not have the best season last year and Jones’ performances definitely did not help matters. Every member of this top line is all-star calibre but I want to point out Pastrnak in particular who not only won the Rocket Richard Trophy during the last full NHL Season (2019-2020) but he was the among the top in the scoring table in the most recent playoffs (2020-21) with 15 points in only 11 games. Also of note is that Marchand finished third in league scoring last season. With that being said, considering their price, I would try to get them all in but if you cant, prioritize Pastrnak and Marchand.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Charlie McAvoy (FD: $6,400 | DK: $5,600) - Phiadelphia Flyers 2
Farabee – Brassard – Atkinson (FanDuel: $14,500 | DraftKings: $14,900)
– Playing the two recommended lines together could work as an interesting game stack and the price of the Flyers second line allows you to afford the big guns on Boston’s top line. Furthermore, they have performed extremely well this season through their first two games. Together they have combined for 9 points through their first two games with four goals and five assists and their prices have remained affordable despite their success. I suspect that this line will have high ownership in today’s slate given their past performances but it is for good reason. With the whole line playing together on the Flyers second power play unit we will also have significant opportunities for this line to score and accrue points together during both even strength and during the power play.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Ryan Ellis (FD: $5,500 | DK: $6,100)
Honorable Mention(s): VGK1 (Marchessault – Karlsson – Smith), PHI1 (Giroux – Couturier – Konecny)
10/20 NHL Goalie Tracker
Best (Goalies to Roster)
- Jordan Binnington (FD: $7,300 | DK: $7,100)
- Jeremy Swayman (FD: $8,000 | DK: $7,900)
Honorable Mention(s): Robin Lehner
Worst (Goalies to Target)
- Martin Jones (FD: $7,700 | DK: $7,400)
10/20 NHL Wild Card Targets
DraftKings
Joel Farabee (FD: $5,400 | DK: $4,400)
– I don’t get it. Four points to start the season, two points in each game and DraftKings lowers his price? We’re not talking a $100 or $200 drop either. He dropped $900!!! If you’re playing on DraftKings I would scoop up Farabee immediately and build him, I doubt his price will stay here for too long. Farabee is already building on a stellar 20-goal and 38-point campaign from last year’s shortened season and tonight he is an absolute steal on DraftKings. Farabee pairs well with his aforementioned linemates on Philadelphia’s second line as well as defenseman Ryan Ellis.
FanDuel
Jordan Kyrou (FD: $4,600 | DK: $4,600)
– For FanDuel, we have a similar situation when it comes to Jordan Kyrou. Jordan has amassed six points in just two games, including a superb four-point performance in the 7-4 barn burner against the Yotes. Kyrou’s price did go up from the last slate, but he is still very affordable for tonight’s two-gamer and when trying to fit in the juggernauts on Boston’s top line, its salary saving wingers like Kyrou who will allow you to fit them comfortably into your lineups. Kyrou pairs really well with defenseman Justin Faulk who is also reasonably priced. Kyrou will also be getting a new linemate for tonight’s game as Buchnevich is unavailable tonight after being suspended for headbutting Coyotes forward Lawson Crouse. So stay tuned for Buchnevich’s replacement as we could get another solid option that correlates well with Kyrou.
Honorable Mention(s): Haula, Dadonov, Krebs, Yandle-Konecny
Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)
Centre – Derick Brassard
Winger – David Pastrnak
Defence – Justin Faulk
