1/12 NHL Stack Report

1. Toronto Maple Leafs 1
   Bunting – Matthews – Kase (FanDuel: $20,600 | DraftKings: $18,100)
   – On a small slate its hard to not look at a line like Toronto’s top line. Matthews has carried this line and as a result both Bunting and Kase have benefitted. I really like how well they’ve been able to play together during Marner’s absence their prices have remained fairly reasonable despite their recent success. Matthews himself is off to another stellar season with 37 points in 31 games, with an average well over four SOGs per game. I’ll be starting my builds with Matthews tonight as the Leafs are suiting up against the league bottom feeders in the Arizona Coyotes on the second half of a back-to-back. It should come as no surprise that the Leafs have the highest implied total at 4.3 and spectacular odds at -330.

2. Dallas Stars 1
   Robertson – Hintz – Pavelski (FanDuel: $21,300 | DraftKings: $18,900)
   – I dont think there have been lines that have been more complete than Dallas’ top line. Every member of this line knows their role and regularly contributes. So much so, that they’re a positive factor in every game Dallas’ plays. They are currently on a bit of a hot streak as well with 21 combined points over their last five games (9 G, 12 A). They average around 18 minutes a game and all see time on Dallas’ top power play unit. Tonight they’ll but up against one of the worst teams in the league, expansion side Seattle Kraken, who have lost their last six games and are 1-7-2 over their last 10. Starting between the pipes for the Kraken is Philipp Grubauer who has been one of the worst starting goalies this season posting an abysmal 3.34 GAA along with a .882 SV%. This will give Dallas a great opportunity to avenge their last game where the lead and their four-game win streak slipped out of their grasp late in the game against the high-flying Blues. Unsurprisingly, the stars are heavy favourites at -205 and have an implied total of 3.6 goals. Expect the Stars to put on a clinic tonight at American Airlines Centre (Dallas, TX).

1/12 NHL Wild Card Targets

Jeff Petry (FD: $3,700 | DK: $4,900)  (Better on FD)
– The Montreal Canadiens are in a bad spot tonight, that’s not a surprise to anyone. They haven’t played a game since New Year’s day and when they lost 5-2 to the Panthers. That game made their 10 on in an abysmal 1-7-2… and that one win came against a struggling Flyers side in a shootout. To say they have been bad this season is an understatement, BUT we cannot overlook the skill that we know these players have, I am not saying they’re going to win but it is worth looking at when we have quality players whose prices are at rock bottom. Especially on FanDuel, where they have been raising everyone’s price lately. Jeff Petry strikes me as a deep GPP play and the essence of a Wild Card play should be. We see someone who has had a rough start to the 2021-22 season but scored 42 points in 55 games just last season! He’ll let you fit in some of the slate’s more expensive players and has some upside. Tread with caution and for DraftKings, I would largely disregard this as the value just isn’t there. Instead, I would stick with Ilya Mikheyev (DK $3,900, 5 points in four games since coming off COVID Protocol).

1/9 NHL Stack Report

1. St. Louis Blues 2
   Kyrou – Schenn – Thomas (FanDuel: $17,000 | DraftKings: $15,500)
   – It’s really hard to ignore what this line has been able to accomplish as of late, and with Tarasenko dropping off due to COVID-19 protocol, this line is actually very affordable despite their recent success. Each member of this line has at least four points in their last three games (Kyrou has 9 in his last 4) meaning that they’ve been able to find consistent success alone and as a group considering they have been together for one game. This afternoon, they’ll be coming in as the home favourites against a team that pulled out a gritty 3-2 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins yesterday. The Blues have more offensive threats than the Pens were able to offer yesterday and are currently 4th in the league in goals per game this season and today that’ll be emphasized further as Holtby is set to start for the Stars. Holby has lost three of his last four starts and even in his last start where he won, he still coughed up 5 goals. The Blues also hold the highest implied total of the slate at 3.4. For this two gamer, I would highly recommend starting your builds with the Blues second line.
   Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Torey Krug (FD: $5,100 | DK: $5,400)
   
2. Dallas Stars 1
   Robertson – Hintz – Pavelski (FanDuel: $22,000 | DraftKings: $19,700)
   – It was hard to pick a second line for today’s slate but there’s no doubting the recent success Dallas’ top line has had. These three have been clicking as a unit, including in yesterday’s game where they were involved in all three goals in the comeback win. Dallas is in a tricky spot in the back-to-back here but their chances of winning this game starts with their top line. I have been extremely impressed with the performances of Jason Robertson in particular and if you need to prioritize one player of this line, make it Robertson. The Stars are going up against a rather inconsistent goaltender in Jordan Binnington and that can play to their advantage. Neither team in this game is particularly defensive minded and can work well together in a game stack. The Stars are also currently on a four-game winning streak where they have scored at least three goals in each of those games so there is definitely something to be said about their success as of late. Their price makes it a difficult line to work with (especially on FanDuel) but if you can squeeze in at least a couple of pieces from this line, they have the potential to pay of big time!

1/9 NHL Wild Card Targets

Trevor Zegras (FD: $6,200 | DK: $6,200) 
– He’s finally back. After clearing the extended COVID-19 protocol and shaking off a few cobwebs, this is the first game back where I am comfortable hopping back on the Zegras train. It’s a small two-gamer so there isn’t a lot of other top spots to go and as far as Zegras goes, he is the definition of a wild card. It’s hard to say what’ll happen but Detroit is coming in on the second half of a road back-to-back with their goalie Nedjelkovic facing 41 shots! Detroit will be very tired with the Ducks implied total set to 3.0, I am very interested in Zegras today as either a one-off play OR alongside winger Sonny Milano

1/5 NHL Stack Report

1. Toronto Maple Leafs 1
   Bunting – Matthews – Marner (FanDuel: $21,700 | DraftKings: $18,900)
   – Hard to ignore the top line of the night. Edmonton is in complete disarray, from missing their star player to having severe goalie/locker room issues they are coming into tonight with a lot of extra baggage. Despite a small COVID scare earlier this week, Toronto will be coming into tonight with a nearly full strength line up and that is just a recipe for disaster for the Oilers. Toronto is near the top of the league in all offensive stats while the Oilers are near the bottom in both Goals allowed and Shots on goal allowed. Both teams are also on completely different trajectories with Toronto winning their last three for a 7-2-1 record over their last 10, while Edmonton has dropped their last four for a 2-6-2 record over their last ten. It should be no surprise that Toronto is the biggest favourite of the slate at -300 and have the highest implied total at 3.9. I would highly recommend prioritizing Toronto tonight, especially their top line.

1/5 NHL Wild Card Targets

Ilya Mikheyev (FD: $4,500 | DK: $2,500) 
– Ilya Mikheyev has not had the best luck this season as he began the season with a thumb injury and after just one game back went on COVID protocol. He is now back at 100% and in his last game he put away two goals including an incredible effort on a short-handed goal that showed off his killer speed and skilled mitts. Mikheyev is coming in cheap on both sites and considering the current price constraints for players on FanDuel, guys like Mikheyev can offer some breathing room to build the rest of your lineups, without compromising on quality. Mikheyev gets time on the second power-play unit (stacks with Sandin and/or Bunting) but also works as a one-off play.

1/2 NHL Stack Report

1. Colorado Avalanche 2
   Burakovsky – Kadri – Compher (FanDuel: $21,100 | DraftKings: $19,600)
   – Its really hard to ignore the offensive dominance Colorado has shown on ice this season, even through their injury troubles they have still found ways to score. Unsurprisingly, Colorado currently leads the league in goals per game at 4.22 and is coming into tonight with the highest implied total of the slate at 3.8. Although Gibson is a good goalie, it’s hard to combat the overall offensive firepower of the Avalanche. With the price of Colorado’s top line, even though they are an amazing option, its hard to comfortably stack more than two of them. So, Colorado’s second line works as a more affordable yet just as potent offensive option. The second line is led by Nazem Kadri who currently leads the Avalanche in points at 38, which also lands him at 7th in the league in points. Kadri is having a stellar season so far and pairing him up with affordable linemates is a solid way to go when approaching your builds for today’s slate.
   Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Cale Makar (Bowen Byram works as a salary saver) (FD: $7,200 | DK: $7,500)
   
2. Calgary Flames 1
   Tkachuk – Lindholm – Gaudreau (FanDuel: $21,700 | DraftKings: $14,100)
   – The Flames top line has really been taking control over the entire Flames offensive output over the past couple of games. Last game alone, Gaudreau and Tkachuk put together 6 points. The top line also play together on Calgary’s top power play unit. Tonight they will be up against a tired Blackhawks team who was lit up for 6 goals against yesterday against the Nashville Predators. This also means that in all likelihood, the Blackhawks will be turning to current starting netminder Colin Delia, who has had a terrible season over his first two games as he currently sits at a 9.00 GAA with a .571 SV%. If the Blackhawks move away from Delia and start Soderblum instead, they are in even bigger trouble as Soderblum also let three goals in last night, including the first shot he faced. Calgary’s implied total is comfortably set at 3.1 and considering their good matchup tonight, I would recommend having some shares of Calgary’s top line in your builds tonight, especially if Soderblum starts for the Hawks.
   Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Rasmus Andersson (FD: $4,200 | DK: $4,900)

Yegor Sharangovich (FD: $4,100 | DK: $2,800) 
– Sharangovich is in a great spot tonight alongside linemates Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt. The trio have been performing extremely well as of late and Sharangovich is coming into tonight’s game with a three-game point streak, where he’s managed to put up two goals and two assists over that time. Sharangovich is also finding a lot of opportunities in front of the net as he has put 8 shots on goal over his last two games. The Devils are in tough tonight against the Washington Capitals but Sharangovich is a cheap option with lots of value and a high upside.

We’re FINALLY back with another Wednesday Night Win Daily NHL Article! We had a nice long layoff over the holidays and the NHL is finally back!

12/29 NHL Stack Report

1. Florida Panthers 2
   Reinhart – Bennett – Huberdeau (FanDuel: $21,600 | DraftKings: $21,300)
   – The Panthers are rightfully the biggest favourite of tonight’s slate and have finally had all their lines put back together following injuries and COVID protocol. That being said, Florida’s top line with Duclair-Barkov-Verhaeghe is a solid option but I am leaning toward the second line as they have been much more consistent as a group compared to Barkov who puts up points but not always alongside his linemates. Also, Huberdeau and Reinhart are among the top three in their team’s scoring chart with Huberdeau coming in at 7th in the league for scoring. That’s just bad news for the Rangers who have finally got their starting goalie Igor Shesterkin from a lower body injury he sustained back on Dec 3rd. Now, although I think Shesterkin is a solid goalie who I usually wouldnt target, tonight he is coming back for his first game in almost a month, against the Panthers. The Panthers rightfully have one of the highest implied totals of the slate at 3.5 and are in a prime position to capitalize and get themselves out of their current three game skid.
   Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Aaron Ekblad (FD: $6,700 | DK: $7,400)
   
2. Philadelphia Flyers 1
   Lindblom – Giroux – Atkinson (FanDuel: $16,100 | DraftKings: $13,800)
   – Truth be told the Flyers have not had the best of season but this line has been a bright spot in what has largely been a forgettable season overall. Tonight, however, the Flyers are also in a decent spot. Despite coming in as an underdog, they’ll be up against the Seattle Kraken who have had serious trouble with keeping the puck out of their net coming in the near the bottom of the league in goals allowed per game at 3.57. Their goalie, Philipp Grubauer is coming into tonight with an abysmal 3.29 GAA and a .882 SV%. Last time these two teams faced off, Philadelphia smoked the Kraken 6-1 and on top of that Seattle is currently on a four-game home skid. Giroux plays on the Flyers top power play line while Atkinson and Lindblom play together on the second unit. The Flyers should come in here underowned and in a great spot.
   Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Ivan Provorov (FD: $4,300 | DK: $5,000)
   
   Honorable Mention(s): EDM1 (Hyman-McDavid-Yamamoto), NSH1 (Johansen-Granlund-Forsberg), STL1 (Tarasenko-Thomas-Buchnevich)

Worst (Goalies to Target)

1. Philipp Grubauer (FD: $7,300 | DK: $8,000)
   

12/29 NHL Wild Card Targets

Joel Farabee (FD: $4,500 | DK: $3,400) 
– There weren’t a lot of solid Wild Card targets for today’s slate outside the main plays we have listed but Joel Farabee is an interesting option as he is coming into tonight against the same questionable defense of Seattle that the top line is facing off against, but he’s coming into tonight with four goals over his last five games and in the game he didn’t score in, he barely played. There has been a bit of a layoff between games but if you’re looking to break away from Philly’s top line in that game, Farabee could be a cheap and intriguing option on the Wing.
