NHL DFS Between the Benches (Dec. 29)

Allan Fabrykant
written by Allan Fabrykant

As we head towards New Year’s Eve, NHL action is heating up very fast. We have a great nine-gamer for tonight’s Friday Night 12/29 NHL slate. The first puck drop begins at 7:00 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Without further ado, let’s get right into it!

12/29 NHL Stack Report

1. Toronto Maple Leafs 1 (Knies-Matthews-Marner)

— Offensively, the Leafs have been one of the hottest teams in hockey. They are currently tied for third in the league in goals per game, with an average of 3.53 goals per game. Their offensive charge is led by their superstar forward, Auston Matthews, who has been on an absolute tear as of late with 12 goals and five assists over his last eight games. His performances have been improving the fantasy status of his teammates as well, with both Knies and Marner benefitting from Matthews’ production. Tonight, they’ll be coming in against a Blue Jackets side who have lost their last three games. The Leafs have also faced off against the Blues Jackets twice this month, and on both occasions, it ended up being a goal fest for Toronto as they have nine goals combined over those two games (6-5 OT Loss for the Leafs and a 4-1 Win for the Leafs). Although the Leafs may have some work to do on the defensive end, their offence is certainly not an issue and they are in an excellent spot to score high for your DFS lines tonight.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Morgan Rielly

2. Dallas Stars 1 (Robertson-Hintz-Pavelski)

— Dallas is arguably in an even better spot than the Leafs tonight as they are coming in against their divisional rivals and the second-worst team in the league, the Chicago Blackhawks, in the first half of a home and away series. The Stars are coming into their home arena as one of the hottest teams in the league as they have put together an impressive stretch of games as of late with five wins over their last seven games (their only two recent losses came against the St. Louis Blues and were one-goal games). The Blackhawks on the other hand have lost five of their last seven and are in arguably one of the worst matchups of the slate. Dallas’ top line has been particularly impressive with every member of their top line averaging a point per game or more over the sit last four games while also seeing time on Dallas’ top powe play unit. Putting their whole line together for Daily Fantasy can end up being a little pricey but I highly recommend having some exposure to Dallas’ top line tonight.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Miro Heiskanen (Honorable Mention(s): Thomas Harley)

Honorable Mention(s): Arizona Coyotes 2 (Maccelli-Bjugstad-Crouse)

12/29 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

  1. Scott Wedgewood
  2. Alexander Georgiev
    Honorable Mention(s): Ilya Samsonov, Connor Ingram

Worst (Goalies to Target)

1. Petr Mrazek
Honorable Mention(s): Elvis Merzlikins

12/29 NHL Wild Card Targets

Ilya Samsonov
– Sammy has a lot to prove. Leafs’ other top goalie, Joseph Woll, is out with an injury, and with his late struggles, Samsonov has been unable to grasp firm control of the starting job, so much so that in their last game, the Leafs turned to their third-string option, Martin Jones. In tonight’s matchup, Samsonov is being given another opportunity. He is starting in a game that he is very well positioned to win, with the Leafs coming in one one of the best odds to win on the slate, along with a very low implied goal total from the Blue Jackets. Samsonov is in a good spot here and has something to prove in tonight’s game. Despite some shaky recent performances, he is worth considering on a slate with not many solid goaltending options.

Honorable Mention(s): Colton Sissons, Anthony Mantha

Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)

Center – Auston Matthews

Winger – Jason Robertson

NHL DFS Between the Benches (Dec. 22)

Allan Fabrykant
written by Allan Fabrykant

After another wild week of hockey, we are back this Friday with another light four-game slate. Tonight’s 12/22 NHL slate begins at 7:00 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Without further ado, let’s get right into it!

12/22 NHL Stack Report

1. New York Rangers 1 (Kreider-Zibanejad-Wheeler)

— On tonight’s small slate, we’re going to go back to the well with the New York Rangers. For those who don’t remember, the New York Rangers are currently on a three-game winning streak and have amassed a 22-7-1 record, good enough for the best record in the Metro Division and the third-best record in the NHL. Along with being the biggest favorites on the slate, the New York Rangers also have the highest implied goal total on the slate at 3.6. With the Rangers playing the way they are, it’ll be hard for most teams to beat them, including a resurging Edmonton Oilers. The Rangers have simply found a way to put all their major pieces together this season. They have elite-level scoring, dependable defensemen, grit and a strong, competitive goalie tandem. The Oilers are definitely not a team one can walk over, and I can see them getting some goals in this matchup, but statistically, I see the Rangers as a clear top option for tonight’s slate.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Adam Fox

2. Detroit Red Wings 2 (DeBrincat-Copp-Kane)

— The Red Wings’ second line has been very hot as of late. Each player on this line has recorded at least two points over their last two games, and even though, as a team, the Red Wings haven’t been able to win games, as a line, DeBrincat, Kane and Copp have managed to gel well together. There will be a lot of goals in this matchup on both sides (Over/Under is set at 6.5 goals), and with the hefty cost of the top line on this slate, I really like the value this second line offers based on their recent scoring. Their opponents, the Philadelphia Flyers, have been a little inconsistent at times and are in the second half of a back-to-back, so the Red Wings’ second line definitely has the ability and the opportunity to make an impact in this matchup. Not only do DeBrincat and Kane both see Power Play time on the Red Wings’ top unit, but we are also talking about a Red Wings team that is fifth in goals per game in the league this season. So, despite their defensive issues as a team, the Red Wings second line is a solid offensive option that provides some salary relief in this smaller four-game slate.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Shayne Gostisbehere (Honorable Mention(s): Moritz Seider)

Honorable Mention(s): Philadelphia Flyers 2 (Tippett-Frost-Brink), Boston Bruins 1 (Marchand-Zacha-Pastrnak)

12/22 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

  1. Jonathan Quick
  2. Linus Ullmark
    Honorable Mention(s): Connor Hellebuyck

Worst (Goalies to Target)

1. Jake Allen
Honorable Mention(s): James Reimer

12/22 NHL Wild Card Targets

Gabriel Vilardi
– With the long-term injury to Kyle Connor, Gabriel Vilardi has really grown into his top-line role as a point-scoring winger alongside Mark Scheifele. Not only has recorded 10 points (5 Goals and 5 Assists) over his last four games, but he has recorded at least three shots on goal per game over his last six and has gotten anywhere from 17 to 22 minutes of ice time per game with ice time on the Jets’ top power-play unit. Vilardi definitely is the hot hand in the Jets lineup, and although they are in a tough matchup with the Bruins, the Bruins have lost three of their last four, while the Jets have won three of their last four. Vilardi, for me, is a solid option for tonight’s four-game slate as both a solo player option or in a stack alongside Mark Schiefele.

Honorable Mention(s): Morgan Geekie-James Van Riemsdyk, Nick Foligno

Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)

Center – Mika Zibanejad

Winger – Chris Kreider

Defenseman – Neal Pionk

Goalie – Jonathan Quick

NHL DFS Between the Benches (Dec. 15)

Allan Fabrykant
written by Allan Fabrykant

Last night’s slate had a ton of goals and some crazy storylines. Usually, Fridays are lighter slates. However, today, we’ve got a nice six gamer to look at. Tonight’s 12/15 NHL slate begins at 7:00 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Without further ado, let’s get right into it!

12/15 NHL Stack Report

1. New York Rangers 2 (Panarin-Trocheck-Lafrenier)

— Leading off the article today are the high-flying New York Rangers, who have amassed a 19-7-1 record, good enough for the best record in the Metro Division and the fourth-best record in the NHL. Tonight, the Rangers are matched up with the team with the second-worst record in the NHL, the Anaheim Ducks, who are currently on the wrong side of a four-game losing stream. The Ducks have benefitted from being solid both offensively and defensively while also taking all the opportunities that come their way. So much so that the Rangers have the second-best power play in the league, converting those opportunities at a 30.5% rate. Compared to 22.7% for the Ducks. Luckily for the Rangers, while they are sound offensively and defensively, the Ducks are neither. The Ducks barely shoot, barely score and spend most of each game with the puck in their defensive zone. As a result, the Ducks have posted one of the worst goal-against averages in the league at 3.43 goals against per game while also letting over 31.5 shots against per game. It should come as no surprise that the bookmakers have heavily skewed this matchup in the Rangers’ favor (-298 and a 3.9 implied goal total), and even though the Rangers’ top line has found good success, it’s the second line that’s been more a more consistent scoring threat in my opinion, while also providing some salary relief for your Daily Fantast lineups.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Adam Fox

2. Vegas Golden Knights 1 (Barbashev-Eichel-Stone)

— On a slate with many high implied totals, Vegas’ offence is coming in at the highest of the 12 teams with an implied total of 4 xG. That’s down to many reasons. For starters, the Golden Knights have some incredible death with scoring threats up and down the lineup. They proved that with their cup run last year if you take a shift off, they will punish those mistakes. Not only were they consistent in punishing errors last season, but this season, they have picked up right where they left off, starting with a 20-5-5 record for the season, amassing the best record in the NHL by quite a bit. Even with the few injuries they have, Vegas hasn’t taken their foot off the gas as they have won four straight while their opponents, the Buffalo Sabres, have lost six of their last eight and are coming into Vegas tonight off at 5-1 thrashing on the road to the Avalanche.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Alex Pietrangelo (Honorable Mention(s): Zach Whitecloud)

Honorable Mention(s): Arizona Coyotes 2 (Macelli-Bjugstad-Crouse), Dallas Stars 2 (Marchment-Duchene-Seguin)

12/15 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

  1. Logan Thompson
  2. Connor Ingram
    Honorable Mention(s): Jonathan Quick, Antti Raanta

Worst (Goalies to Target)

1. Mackenzie Blackwood
Honorable Mention(s): Ukko-Pekka Lukkonen, John Gibson

12/15 NHL Wild Card Targets

Chandler Stephenson
– As discussed above, the Golden Knights are a great team with an even better matchup, and although I have written down Vegas’ top line for stacking purposes, I did want to make a special mention of Chandler Stephenson, who has been tearing it up as of late with three goals and three assists over his last four games. In each of those games, he registered at least two shots and saw around 18 minutes of ice time. His stats will benefit just as much from the matchup against the Sabres as the Golden Knights’ top line will, and his recent success has me thinking that he will definitely find himself on the score sheet tonight.

Honorable Mention(s): Lawson Crouse-Matias Macelli, Stefan Noesen

Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)

Center – Vincent Trocheck

Winger – Mark Stone

Defenseman – Brady Skjei

Goalie – Logan Thompson

NHL DFS Between the Benches (Dec. 8)

Allan Fabrykant
written by Allan Fabrykant

We are back with another WinDaily Between the Benches Article! This Friday, we have three games going tonight with some interesting matchups to look over. Tonight’s 12/8 NHL slate begins at 7:00 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Without further ado, let’s get right into it!

12/8 NHL Stack Report

1. Florida Panthers 1 (Reinhart-Barkov-Rodrigues)

— To start off the article, we have one of my favourite teams to rely on for Daily Fantasy this season, the Florida Panthers. They have continued their winning ways from their NHL playoff run last season and have burst into the new season with a 15-8-2 record. Especially their top line, who have really led their offensive charge this season. All three members of the top line are in the top four of the Panthers’ scoring leaders (Rodrigues is one point away from third place), and Reinhart, in particular, has really exploded this season, sitting in 10th in the league for points and second in the league in goals on the year with 17 goals and 15 assists. They are also facing off against a Penguins side who are without Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust and sliding on a three-game losing streak. Not only have the Panthers been red hot, but they are in a great matchup. With the slate as small as it is, I love the Panthers’ top line as a daily fantasy option tonight.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Aaron Ekblad (Honorable Mention(s): Gustav Forsling)

2. Edmonton Oilers 1 (Hyman-McDavid-Nugent-Hopkins)

— The Oilers have the highest implied total of the slate and the highest odds of winning. It’s for good reason, too, as they have really found their form over the last two weeks, winning five straight games and scoring at least five goals in all but one of them (a 3-1 win against the Winnipeg Jets). Over these five games, McDavid has exploded for 16 points (2 goals, 14 assists), and his linemates have benefitted from the boost in product as well, with Hyman recording 11 points over his last five games (7 goals, 4 assists) and Nugent Hopkins scoring five points over his last five games. Of course, this significant production has given the Oilers’ top line a significant price tag. Even though the Oilers’ second line is also a viable option tonight, I cannot ignore the form we have been seeing from the Oilers’ first line as of late. If you can fit them into your fantasy lines, I would recommend adding a piece from this high-performing team into your daily fantasy lineups tonight.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Evan Bouchard (Honorable Mention(s): Mattias Ekholm)

Honorable Mention(s): Minnesota Wild 2 (Boldy-Eriksson Ek-Johansson), Colombus Blue Jackets 1 (Danforth-Jenner-Gaudreau)

12/8 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

  1. Sergei Bobrovsky
  2. Stuart Skinner
    Honorable Mention(s): Jet Greaves

Worst (Goalies to Target)

1. Tristan Jarry
Honorable Mention(s): Jordan Binnington

12/8 NHL Wild Card Targets

Adam Fantilli
– Fantilli was the third-overall pick in last year’s draft and is having an impressive year compared to most of his draft class. Especially as of late, where Fantilli has scored five points over his last four games, including a three-point night against the New York Islanders. He is starting on the Blue Jackets third line but has seen up to 19 minutes of ice time this season. The Blue Jackets trust this kid so much that he also appears on their top power-play unit. He is a nice value piece on a slate where most solid plays come with a hefty price tag.

Honorable Mention(s): Brayden Schenn, Evan Rodrigues

Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)

Center – Connor McDavid

Winger – Sam Reinhart

Defenseman – Aaron Ekblad (Gustav Forsling for Value)

Goalie – Sergei Bobrovsky (Jet Greaves for Value)

NHL DFS Between the Benches (Dec. 1)

Allan Fabrykant
written by Allan Fabrykant

After another wild week of hockey, we are back tonight with a modest two-game slate. One game is a bit of a blowout on paper, while the other is a much closer matchup. Tonight’s 12/1 NHL slate begins at 7:00 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Without further ado, let’s get right into it!

12/1 NHL Stack Report

1. New Jersey Devils 1 (Toffoli-Hughes-Mercer)

— This game is the definition of a mismatch. New Jersey is one of the most offensively talented teams in the league, while San Jose is near the bottom of the league in nearly every stat category out there. The Sharks have only managed to win five games this year and are coming up against a team that is heating up (key players are back from injury and on a three-game winning streak). It should come as no surprise that the Devils are heavily favored in this matchup, coming in at -490 with a 4.5 implied goal total. This line has a decent price with Mercer slotted in there, and their matchup against the Sharks top line is a joke. A key example of this line’s recent success is alternate captain Jack Hughes, who has recorded six points and 18 shots over his last two games. These kinds of stats are unreal, and leading up to a game against the league’s worst team, the San Jose Sharks, I can only imagine how many points he will be racking up tonight. All three top liners see power-play time, with Hughes and Toffoli on the first unit and Mercer on the second power-play unit. To me, especially in cash games, this line is a must-play tonight.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Luke Hughes (Hamilton is out injured, Hughes is a lock on defence)

2. Ottawa Senators 1 (Tkachuk-Stutzle-Giroux)

— My second favourite line of the night is still a juggernaut. The Sens top line is really their main three stars. Despite being a one-note team, the Sens do have some excellent star power on their top line. Both Stutzle and Giroux are point-per-game players, while Tkachuk is not far behind with 15 points in 17 games. If the Sens were facing a stronger team, I would be more concerned about putting a lot of faith in them, but against the Columbus Blue Jackets, who sit 2 points ahead of them (the Sens have 7 games in hand over them), I am not worried. Especially with top defenseman Chabot back for the Sens, I like their chances to rack up some points in this one. All three first liners play on the Sens power-play, with Tkachuk and Stutzle on the top unit and Giroux on the second unit. Ottawa has an implied goal total of 3.6 against the Blue Jackets, and the Blue Jackets have a decently high implied goal total as well (3.1). I can see a lot of goals coming in this one, and when Ottawa scores, their top line will definitely appear on the scoresheet.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Thomas Chabot (Honorable Mention(s): Jake Sanderson)

Honorable Mention(s): New Jersey Devils 2 (Bratt-Hischier-Palat), Columbus Blue Jackets 3 (Chinakov-Johnson-Voronkov)

12/1 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

  1. Vitek Vanacek
  2. Joonas Korpisalo
    Honorable Mention(s): N/A

Worst (Goalies to Target)

1. Kaapo Kahkonen
Honorable Mention(s): N/A

12/1 NHL Wild Card Targets

Kent Johnson
– On a small slate like this, you have to be a little creative to find interesting plays that will make your line stand out over others, especially in tournaments. Kent Johnson is an excellent option. He is listed at a price on both FanDuel and DraftKings and has seen a resurgence in form following a stint in the minors. The former 5th overall pick was sent down to the minors in early November and has been called back up after scoring 15 points (5 G, 10 A) with the Blue Jackets’ AHL affiliate. At minimum price, he doesn’t have to do much to hit value, and with him playing in his first game up from the minors, he will have a MASSIVE chip on his shoulder.

Honorable Mention(s): Dawson Mercer, Alexander Holtz

Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)

Center – Jack Hughes

Winger – Brady Tkachuk

Defenseman – Luke Hughes

Goalie – Vitek Vanacek

NHL DFS Between the Benches (Nov. 24)

Allan Fabrykant
written by Allan Fabrykant

Hope you got your fill of turkey last night at your Thanksgiving dinner. To celebrate the occasion, we have a Friday where the NHL packed the whole day with games, including six games for tonight’s main slate. Tonight’s 11/24 NHL slate begins at 7:30 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Without further ado, let’s get right into it!

11/24 NHL Stack Report

1. Ottawa Senators 1 (Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson)

— Ottawa has been on fire lately, with four wins from their last five games. They have simply found a way to get the job done time and time again, and since they’ve been matched up together, the Senators’ new-look top line has been very impressive. Against the Red Wings, the second line exploded, getting involved in all five goals in the Senators’ 5-4 overtime win. Another major factor here is their opponent, the New York Islanders, who have been mediocre but have struggled a lot defensively this season. Sorokin has not been able to replicate the crazy form he found last season, and that has not been helped by the fact that the Islanders’ defence sits near the league’s worst in shots on goal allowed per game at 35.1, along with an average of 3.17 Goals against per game. With one of the highest implied totals of the slate at 3.5, the Senator’s top line is a lock to get involved on the score sheet. All three members of the Senators’ top line play on the Senators’ first power play unit against one of the league’s worst penalty-killers (they kill 70% of the penalties they take) and average around 20 minutes of ice time per game.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Jake Sanderson

2. Carolina Hurricanes 2 (Svechnikov-Kotkanemi-Necas)

— Consistency is the key to this play. While Carolina’s top line has exploded over their last two games, Carolina’s second line has shown more consistent success thus far this season. On top of that, Carolina’s second line has a much better matchup against the Lightning second line. Carolina have looked like an offensive juggernaut this season, scoring 3.39 goals per game and having the second-most shots on goal per game in the league at 33.6. Tampa Bay’s defensive abilities have not had the same success this season as they have had in seasons past, sitting at 26th in the league in goals allowed per game at 3.6 and 24th in shots on goal allowed per game at 32.2. These stats may not be too concerning against a mediocre or lower-level team, but they’re a real problem in tonight’s matchup against the Canes. Furthermore, the Canes recently blanked the Lightning 4-0 in Tampa Bay, with both Necas and Svechnikov finding themselves on the scoresheet. This game may be closer than their last meeting, but with the Canes facing off against the Lightning in Raleigh tonight with a 3.7 implied goal total (the highest of the slate), I really like them in this spot.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Jaccob Slavin (Honorable Mention(s): Brady Skjei)

Honorable Mention(s): Florida Panthers 1 (Reinhart-Lundell-Luostarainen), Dallas Stars 2 (Seguin-Duchene-Marchment)

11/24 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

  1. Jake Oettinger
  2. Sergei Bobrovsky
    Honorable Mention(s): Joonas Korpisalo, Antti Raanta, Thatcher Demko

Worst (Goalies to Target)

1. Jacob Markstrom
Honorable Mention(s): N/A

11/24 NHL Wild Card Targets

Eeli Tolvanen
– Tolvanen has been on fire lately and has been a key asset in Seattle’s early season success, placing them in 4th in the Pacific division. In their last game, Tolvanen’s third line broke out against the San Jose Sharks, being involved in five of the seven goals the Kraken scored against their divisional rivals. This after Tolvanen was already heating up with three points through his previous four games before his three-point night. Seattle’s opponent tonight is the Canucks, who have started to flounder after a strong start losing three of their last four (including a 4-3 loss to the Seattle Kraken in Vancouver), with their only win coming in a close game against the league’s worst team… the San Jose Sharks. Tolvanen is in a solid spot tonight, and he pairs well with his linemate, Oliver Bjorkstrand.

Honorable Mention(s): Seth Jarvis

Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)

Center – Josh Norris

Winger – Sam Reinhart

Defenseman – Brady Skjei

Goalie – Jake Oettinger

NHL DFS Between the Benches (Nov. 17)

Allan Fabrykant
written by Allan Fabrykant

Welcome back to a brand new edition of WinDaily’s NHL Between the Benches article. After a light week of hockey with many teams playing games in Europe, we got a light two-gamer tonight with some great teams in play. Tonight’s 11/17 NHL slate begins at 7:00 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Without further ado, let’s get right into it!

11/17 NHL Stack Report

1. Winnipeg Jets 2 (Ehlers-Perfetti-Namestikov)

— Let’s face facts, in this small slate. The top offensive lines are all priced very high. So to switch things up a bit. The most appealing line to me is the one that brings the most value to the table. That is definitely Winnipeg’s second line. They’ve been playing some really good hockey as of late, especially Cole Perfetti, even with a well performing top line. Against the Luukkonen and the Sabres, the Jets are coming into tonight’s slate with the highest implied total and great odds to win. The other big factor is Buffalo’s lack of depth, they may be able to put some pressure on Winnipeg’s top line but when looking down Buffalo’s roster, after their top line, they don’t have a lot of strong defensive talent. Winnipeg is also far and away the better team statistically with Winnipeg being near the top of the league in both goals and shots on goal per game with Buffalo being near the bottom. All things considered, especially with the game taking place in Winnipeg, their second line is super interesting in this small slate.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Neal Pionk

2. Florida Panthers 1 (Reinhart-Barkov-Rodrigues)

— In my opinion, Florida’s top line has been one of the best lines in hockey and getting them on a small slate like this is a great lock for your lines tonight, especially in cash. Led by the League Leader in goals, Sam Reinhart, the Panthers have broken out to start this season with 10 wins, five losses and one OT loss, putting them in second place in the Atlantic Division. With as good as the Ducks have been to start the season too, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Panthers are clear favorites in tonight’s matchup. Over their past five games, Florida’s top line has put together nine goals and 14 assists. I don’t see them slowing down tonight against the Ducks.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Oliver Ekman-Larsson (Honorable Mention(s): Gustav Forsling)

Honorable Mention(s): Winnipeg Jets 1 (Connor-Scheifele-Iafallo), Anaheim Ducks 2 (Vatrano-McTavish-Strome)

11/17 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

  1. Connor Hellebuyck

    Honorable Mention(s): Anthony Stolarz

Worst (Goalies to Target)

1. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen
Honorable Mention(s): N/A

11/17 NHL Wild Card Targets

JJ Peterka
– Although Buffalo is a difficult team to rely on for tonight, JJ Peterka has been a surprising bright spot in an otherwise rough Buffalo depth. With five points in his last five games and playing anywhere from 17-19 minutes a night. Peterka has decent value in a small stack (with Owen Power) or one off play. 

Honorable Mention(s): Adam Henrique

NHL DFS Between the Benches (Nov. 10)

Allan Fabrykant
written by Allan Fabrykant

Welcome back to a brand new edition of WinDaily’s NHL Between the Benches article. The hockey season has truly been getting underway, although there may be some surprises left in store, teams are beginning to set the tone for their season. We got a nice six-gamer tonight with lots of top teams in play. Tonight’s 11/10 NHL slate begins at 7:00 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Without further ado, let’s get right into it!

11/10 NHL Stack Report

1. Vegas Golden Knights 1 (Barbashev-Eichel-Marchessault)

— The Vegas Golden Knights started the season at an insane pace and as of right now have only lost 2 games in regulation to start the season placing them in 1st place in the Western Conference. At the polar opposite of the Western conference sit the League’s worst team thus far, the San Jose Sharks. It is true that the Sharks are on a two game winning streak and the Knights are on a two game losing streak but it is clear both streaks end tonight. San Jose are still without their best player Logan Couture and the Sharks two wins are deceiving as they both came against significantly underperforming teams in the Philadelphia Flyers and the Edmonton Oilers. The Knight’s top line is led by former first-overall pick Jack Eichel who has registered a point-per-game thus far this season with his linemates Marchessault (9) and Barbarshev (5) not far behind. This line is not the most expensive on the slate but does have one of the highest upsides with the highest implied total of the slate (by far) at 4.7.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Alex Pietrangelo

2. Florida Panthers 1 (Reinhart-Barkov-Rodrigues)

— I like Florida’s top line in this spot for many reasons. Firstly, this line sees a massive amount of ice-time every game, with each player seeing around 20 minutes of ice-time a game and they are scoring like it’s rookie hockey. Secondly, they are facing off against a Canes side who is expected to start a third-string goalie (Kotchekov) who has struggled a lot this season with an 0-3-0 record, a 4.31 GAA and a .836 Save Percentage. This may come in as an underowned stack, with all the big lines playing tonight but I think there is good value here, especially if they do not get a lot of ownership. This season, the Panthers have many offensive threats up and down their lines. However, their top line is far and away their most dangerous. All three top liners will see power play time tonight with Reinhart and Barkov on the top power play unit, and Rodrigues on the second power play unit.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Oliver Ekman-Larsson (Honorable Mention(s): Gustav Forsling)

Honorable Mention(s): Minnesota Wild 1 (Kaprizov-Rossi-Boldy), Anaheim Ducks 2 (Vatrano-McTavish-Strome)

11/10 NHL Wild Card Targets

Matthew Knies
– Knies has been given a huge upgrade on the Toronto Maple Leafs top line, playing alongside all-stars Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews (current league leader in Goals). Despite a bit of a rocky start, the Leafs have been scoring lots of goals every game and are coming into tonight against one of the worst defensive teams in the league, the Calgary Flames, who have struggled mightily with their goaltending situation this season. Knies is a nice value piece that can help you afford another piece in the stack or help build your lines with a cheap top line one off.

Honorable Mention(s): Alex Tuch (might be injured), William Karlsson-Pavel Dorofeyev (mini stack), Anton Lundell, William Nylander

Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)

Center – Auston Matthews

Winger – Sam Reinhart

Defenseman – Oliver Ekman-Larsson

NHL DFS Between the Benches (Nov. 3)

Allan Fabrykant
written by Allan Fabrykant

Welcome back to a brand new edition of WinDaily’s NHL Between the Benches article. After yesterday’s massive twelve-game slate, we are back with a small Friday night two-gamer! Tonight’s 11/3 NHL slate begins at 7:00 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Without further ado, let’s get right into it!

11/3 NHL Stack Report

1. New Jersey Devils 1 (Toffoli-Hughes-Meier)

— It shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that we’ll have to turn again to the second-hottest offensive team in the league for tonight’s two-game slate. This team’s top core is regularly scoring over four goals a game, and they would be close to if not the best, offence in the league if the Canucks didn’t stomp the San Jose Sharks 10-1 last night. All this to say that the Devils’ scoring pace to start the season has been incredible, especially with the production out of this top line. Jack Hughes is averaging over two points per game this season with over 20 minutes of ice time, and his linemates, Toffoli and Meier, are hovering around a point per game through their first nine games of the season. Against a regular NHL team, I’d have a lot of faith in the Devils. Tonight, they are up against a Blues team that allows nearly 33 shots on goal per game and is in the middle of a two-game losing streak. For their part, the Devils are coming into the night with a 3.7 implied goal total, and it’s hard to see Luke Hughes not getting on the score sheet tonight. Hughes will centre the Devils’ top power play alongside his brother Luke Hughes, his linemates Toffoli and Meier, as well as Jesper Bratt. Everyone on the Devils’ top power play unit are in play for me tonight.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Dougie Hamilton (Honorable Mention(s): Luke Hughes)

2. Buffalo Sabres 1 (Biro-Thompson-Greenway)

— The Sabres are surprisingly the top team on this slate. Despite a mediocre start to the season. They have had some shining stars on offence, including the likes of Tage Thompson and Rasmus Dahlin. Tonight, they are on the second half of a home-and-away where they’ll be taking on the Philadelphia Flyers in Buffalo after beating them 5-2 in their last game. Thompson has been on fire as of late, with four goals and four assists over his last four games. Including a goal and two assists in their beat down on the Flyers last game. Although both these teams sit in the middle of the pack in the league. The Flyers have some significant injuries (their top centre, Couturier and their top goalie, Hart) and are in the middle of a three-game losing skid. The Sabres, on the other hand, have had some success as of late and are coming into today’s slate with the highest implied total at 3.8 implied goals and the best odds at -170.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Rasmus Dahlin (Honorable Mention(s): Mattias Samuelson)

Honorable Mention(s): Philadelphia Flyers 1 (Atkinson-Laughton[May Change]-Tippett), Buffalo Sabres 2 (Peterka-Middlestadt-Skinner)

11/3 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

  1. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen
  2. Akira Schmid
    Honorable Mention(s): Samuel Ersson

Worst (Goalies to Target)

1. Jordan Binnington
Honorable Mention(s): N/A

11/3 NHL Wild Card Targets

Brandon Biro
– In his NHL debut last game in Philadelphia, Biro got a surprise start on the Sabres first line. With only ten minutes of ice time, he was able to make an instant impact on the game, scoring in the first period to take the lead then again in the empty net to seal the deal. He is set to rejoin the Sabres’ top line tonight against the Flyers for the second half of the back-to-back in Buffalo, and at his price, top-line minutes alongside Tage Thompson make Biro an exciting option for tonight’s two-game slate.

Honorable Mention(s): Justin Faulk, Erik Haula

Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)

Center – Jack Hughes

Winger – Tyler Toffoli

Defenseman – Luke Hughes

Goalie – Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen

NHL DFS Between the Benches (Oct. 27)

Allan Fabrykant
written by Allan Fabrykant

Welcome back to WinDaily’s NHL Between the Benches article. We’ve had an excellent start to the season, and it’ll keep getting better! Tonight’s 10/27 NHL slate begins at 6:00 pm ET, and we have six games taking place. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Without further ado, let’s get right into it!

10/27 NHL Stack Report

1. Carolina Hurricanes 2 (Bunting-Kotkaniemi-Necas)

— To begin the article, we have, far and away, the strongest offensive team on the slate. With the talent on their top two lines facing off at home against a team that has not won a game this season, played last night in a 6-0 loss on the road in Tampa and has lost by the Puck Line (-1.5) or more over their last five games. San Jose is in for a rough season, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to get any better tonight in what is the most lop-sided game on the slate. Moreover, the Canes and Sharks have already played each other this season in California, where the Sharks blew a 3-2 lead with four unanswered third-period goals. (at that was against their starter, Mackenzie Blackwood). With this info, it should come as no surprise that the Hurricanes have the best odds of the slate (-400) and the highest implied goal total (4.4). Although I will have shares of both of Carolina’s top two lines tonight, Carolina’s second line has actually been outperforming their top line, with Necas and Kotkanemi exploding with nine points in eight games to start the season. Despite early power play struggles, Necas and Bunting will see lots of Power Play time on Carolina’s top unit alongside Tony DeAngelo, while Kotkaniemi is centring the Canes’ second unit.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Tony DeAngelo (Honorable Mention(s): Jaccob Slavin)

2. New Jersey Devils 1 (Toffoli-Hughes-Meier)

— Unsurprisingly, the New Jersey Devils find themselves in a top spot on tonight’s slate as the high-powered offence faces off against a Sabres team that has had defensive problems for years. New Jersey has a lot to look forward to in the present and the future, with one of the league’s top stars breaking out this season. In just six games, Jack Hughes has notched 17 points (4 goals, 13 assists) and has averaged over 22 minutes of ice time per game. Paired alongside strong supportive talents in Tyler Toffoli and Timo Meier, this line is simply too much for teams to handle, especially considering the defensive woes of the Buffalo Sabres. Buffalo is allowing just over three goals per game and over 30 shots per game. Even if they had one of the league’s best goaltenders, the amount of pressure the defence leaves for the goalie to handle on their own is often too much.

With both teams having heavy firepower on offence, I can see this game hitting the over very easily but at the end of the day, the Devils are far more reliable on the back end, and their offensive pressure will be too much for Eric Comrie tonight. They have the second-highest implied total of the slate for a reason (4.1). Despite the price, I recommend paying up for New Jersey’s top line.


Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Dougie Hamilton (Honorable Mention(s): Luke Hughes)

Honorable Mention(s): Vancouver Canucks 1 (Kuzimenko-Petterson-Mikheyev)

10/27 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

  1. Adin Hill
  2. Karel Vejmelka
    Honorable Mention(s): Thatcher Demko, Vitek Vanacek

Worst (Goalies to Target)

1. Kappo Kahkonen
Honorable Mention(s): Eric Comrie, Jordan Binnington

10/27 NHL Wild Card Targets

Ilya Mikheyev
– There is no better word to describe Ilya Mikheyev than “Wild Card,” given his position in today’s slate. He recently returned from ACL surgery, and he looks like he hasn’t missed a beat over his first two appearances. He has points in each of his two games and has recorded four shots in each game as well. He will also be seeing top-line minutes tonight against one of the worst defensive teams in the league, the St. Louis Blues. Mikheyev is a risky play, but he has a lot of upside and can provide some salary relief on a slate that doesn’t have many strong value plays. (Vancouver also has one of the highest implied totals of the slate at 3.8.)

Honorable Mention(s): Paul Cotter, Trevor Moore, Kaedan Korczak, Andrei Svechnikov

Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)

Center – Jack Eichel

Winger – Martin Necas

Defenseman – Shea Theodore

Goalie – Adin Hill
