Welcome back to the Friday Night WinDaily NHL Between the Benches Article! The all-star game is now behind us and we are now looking forward to the Trade deadline! We already saw some big moves take place and I have a feeling there is still a surprise or two left to come! Tonight, we will have a small 4-game slate, with lots of interesting matchups to look at! Tonight’s 2/10 NHL 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!

2/10 NHL Stack Report

1. Toronto Maple Leafs 1 (Bunting-Tavares-Marner)

— Today is Day 1 of a home and away back-to-back vs the Columbus Blue Jackets and right off the bat. Aside from the obvious fact that the fourth placed team in the league is going up against the team in dead last, the most glaring difference between these two teams is the statistics. Offensively, Toronto is in the top 10 in goals per game while the Blue Jackets find themselves tied for 3rd last in the league in goals and on the power play, the Leafs are converting power plays into goals at a 25% clip which lands them 6th in the league and on the other the side, the Blue Jackets have a 16.4% power play conversion rate, landing them at 4th-worst team in the league on the power play. Defensively, it’s even worse, despite the Leafs goalie struggles it doesn’t hold a candle to how badly the Jackets have been performing on their own end of the ice. They allow an average of 35 shots on goal per game and give up an average of 3.86 goals per game. Even without Matthews, the Blue Jackets don’t have much of a chance in this matchup. Mitch Marner is a top target for me here, as with Matthews staying sidelined for tonight’s game Marner will see an increased role alongside his linemates Tavares and Bunting. Marner already leads the Leafs in points and has been hot as of late as he is currently on a four game point streak. All three of the Leafs top liners will see power play time against the Blue Jackets weak penalty kill and I think there will be a lot of goals to go around for the Leafs top scorers tonight. Despite the odd vintage performance from Gaudreau or Laine, the Jackets are consistently disappointing. The Leafs on the other hand, have been consistently scoring lots of goals and have seen success on both sides of the ice. With an implied total of 4.1 goals in comparison to the Blue Jackets 2.6 goals, I would highly recommend having exposure to the Leafs top line in tonight’s matchup.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Morgan Rielly

2. Arizona Coyotes 1 (Keller-Hayton-Schmaltz)

— Usually, I wouldn’t give many players on the Coyotes a second look but against the Blackhawks tonight, they are actually coming in as the favourites. As divisional rivals, the Coyotes sit just ahead of the Blackhawks in the standings and offensively sit just above them as well. Arizona’s Nick Schmaltz has really been putting things together as of late. Over his last five games he has four goals and three assists and regularly sees over 20 minutes of ice time per game. Along with his linemates, Schmaltz also appears on the Coyotes’ top power play unit which is coming up against the 24th ranked penalty kill in the league. Arizona’s top line is a cheap play which allows you to squeeze in some of the higher end player while still picking a team that is favoured to win and picking a line that will see a good deal of ice-time tonight.

Frank Vatrano
– I know that in the Pittsburgh v Anaheim matchup tonight most people would lean towards the Pens but it’s hard to ignore the success that Vatrano has had recently on the Ducks second line. Over his last five games, Vatrano has registered 5 goals and 2 assists and averaged around 16 minutes of ice time per game. Vatrano does see time on the second power play unit but has done most of his damage on even strength. With the Pens allowing over 3 goals per game and over 34 shots against per game, I think Vatrano can definitely get on the score sheet tonight and is worth a look.

Welcome back to the Friday Night WinDaily NHL Between the Benches Article! The All-Star break is nearly upon us so make sure to get in on the NHL action before the break next week! Tonight, we have a larger-sized 8-game slate, with lots of interesting matchups to look at! Tonight’s 1/27 NHL 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!

1/27 NHL Stack Report

1. Caroina Hurricanes 1 (Teravainen-Aho-Jarvis)

— The Hurricanes are far and away the best option on tonight’s slate as the second place team in the league is facing off against the fifth worst team in the league. The Sharks have been a mess this season. Their offense has been bad and their defense has been worse as they sit 23rd in the league in goals and 29th in the league in goals against. On top of that, the Canes are on a three game winning streak while the Sharks are on a three game losing skid. It should come as no surprise that the Canes are coming into tonight’s game with one of the highest implied totals of the slate at 3.9. Statistically, this game should not be close and Carolina’s top line is a main reason why this game seems so out of reach for the Sharks. Specifically, Sebastian Aho and Teuvo Teravainen as both have been lighting it up as of late with Aho registering five goals over his last four games and Teravainen posting a goal and three assists over that same time. It’s clear that not only have the Canes been playing well as of late but they are coming up to one of the best matchups they’ve had this season. I would highly recommend rostering some Canes players in your Daily Fantasy lineups tonight.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Brady Skjei

2. Toronto Maple Leafs 1 (Bunting-Tavares-Marner)

— Unfortunately, early today the news broke to Toronto fans that their star centre Auston Matthews will be sidelined for at least three weeks with a sprained knee. Despite the set back, the Leafs must continue on for the time being without him and despite his strong impact he brings, the Leafs have had some excellent performances around him as well. The new look first line includes the teams’ top scorer in Mitch Marner alongside John Tavares and Michael Bunting. This is a very complete line that should be able to wreak havoc on the Senator’s defenses tonight. With Matthews out, I expect all three top liners to see significantly more ice time and winger Michael Bunting has seen a promotion to the Leafs top power play unit alongside his new linemates. The Leafs are in a prime position to succeed tonight against their division rivals, the Ottawa Senators and having watched games between the Sens and the Leafs during my whole life, one thing has been repeatedly true… these games have a lot of goals. It’s also important to note that the Leafs are coming into this game with an implied total of 3.9 and their goalie, Matt Murray is expected to make his first start against his old team tonight.

Carter Verhaeghe
– Man, this guy is just scoring for fun as of late. His last six games have been amazing to watch. He’s got a six game point streak, two multipoint games and goals in five of his last six games. He’s been absolutely incredible in his role on Florida’s second line and second power play unit. He’s been beginning to see near 20 minutes of ice-time per game and has been rewarding the Panthers each and every game.The Panthers are coming into tonight’s game with an implied total of 3.6 against the Kings so a shot at Verhaeghe would be well worth it.

Welcome back to the Friday Night WinDaily NHL Between the Benches Article! We’ve had a crazy week of games as we head closer to the all-star game! Tonight, we have a small-sized 3-game slate, but every game is packed with action! Tonight’s 1/13 NHL 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!

1/13 NHL Stack Report

1. New Jersey Devils 2 (Tatar-Hughes-Haula)

— The Devils have surprised many people this season, including me. From their red-hot start to the season and now their continued success down the stretch, they have rebuilt themselves into a competitive playoff team, and tonight, they’re up against the third-last-placed team in the league (or the Bronze Medal in the Bedard Bowl) in the Anaheim Ducks. This is a pretty big mismatch; the odds are at -320 in favour of the Devils, the Devils implied total is over four goals, and the Ducks are at a measly 2.5 implied goals. Statistically, this shouldn’t even be close. The Ducks rank 2nd last in goals per game and dead last in power play %, shooting %, goals allowed per game and SOG allowed per game. On top of that, they take nearly 12 penalty minutes a game and have the third-worst penalty-kill rate in the league at 71%. With the Devils at 3.44 goals and 34.6 shots a game on average I don’t see a way that Anaheim doesn’t get completely blown out here. The Devils are also very defensively disciplined, only allowing 27.3 shots per game and holding a stellar goals-against average of 2.63. This line, in particular, does some real damage. Headed by the Devils’ team leader in points, Jack Hughes, who has 10 points over his last six games and combined this line has put together 20 points over their last six. All three forwards on the second line see power play time as well, with Hughes and Tatar on the top unit and Haula on the second unit. I’ve really been impressed with the Devils this season, and I think this game should not be a challenge for them.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Dougie Hamilton (Damon Severson works as a salary saver)

2. Edmonton Oilers 2 (Hyman-Draisaitl-McLeod)

— Usually, my recommended play from the Oilers is to play McDavid and anyone around him, but with the most recent line shuffle, I am actually favouring the second line a little more. (Although, I would still recommend playing McDavid if you want him in your line with his value wingers) This line has been very consistent over the past few games. Hyman and Draisaitl alone have 11 points over their last five games. They both also saw over 20 minutes of ice time on average over those five games, including time on the top power-play unit; McLeod also sees power-play time on the Oilers’ second unit. The Sharks haven’t been that great defensively this season as they sit near the bottom of the league in goals against this season with a goals-against average of 3.65, putting them at 27th in the league. It should come as no surprise that the Oilers are coming into this matchup with an implied total of 3.7 goals, and I would expect the second line to play a part in some of those goals tonight.

1/13 NHL Wild Card Targets

Dawson Mercer
– Despite the fact that he is on the third line and not on the Devils’ power play, Mercer has been racking up a respectable amount of points as of late. He is currently tied for fifth on the Devils in points, including four points over his last two games (2 goals and 1 assist last game). He is also steadily seeing an increase in ice time, and I expect that he will see over 16 minutes in this game. Coupled with the fact that the Ducks have shockingly bad defensive stats (as mentioned earlier) and hold a big odds disadvantage against the Devils, it shouldn’t come as a surprise if Mercer ends up on the score sheet tonight.

Welcome back to the Friday Night WinDaily NHL Between the Benches Article for our first Friday article of the year! After last night’s pandemonium at the World Juniors Finals, we are locked and loaded with NHL content for tonight’s slate! Tonight, we have a medium-sized 6-game slate, and there will be lots to enjoy this evening! Tonight’s 1/6 NHL 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!

1/6 NHL Stack Report

1. Florida Panthers 1 (Tkachuk-Barkov-Verhaeghe)

— The Panthers have been bad this season, after all the big moves they made, they simply have not performed well and it has been in large part due to their poor defensive abilities rather than their offensive ones. In fact they are first place in the league in shots on goal per game and in the top half of the league in goals per game but sit 23rd in goals allowed and 19th in shots on goal allowed per game. This stark contrast on top of the inconsistency from starting goalie Sergei Bobrovsky has led to the Panthers poor position in the standings. Thankfully for them, today they have an opportunity to put their season back on the right track against a Red Wings team who has had their own bouts of inconsistency. Florida’s top line in particular has been incredibly deadly and dependable as of late as between the three, they have nine goals and seven assists over their last four games. On top of that, all three members of the top line see over 16 minutes a game on average and they all see power play time with Tkachuk and Barkov on the top line and Verhaeghe on the second power play unit. The Red Wings are also set to start Ville Husso who has been beyond bad as of late as he has allowed over four goals in each of his last five starts and as such it should come as no surprise that the Panthers have one of the highest implied totals of the slate at 3.6 goals. This game could still end up being a close one but you can rely on the Panthers top line to put some points on the board tonight.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Brandon Montour

2. Arizona Coyotes 3 (Ritchie-Hayton-Fischer)

— This is literally the Connor Bedard Bowl as both teams are in the bottom 5 of the entire league with the Blackhawks in dead last, having lost their last five games. For what it’s worth the Coyotes haven’t done much better, dropping their last 3 games including a 6-2 thumping against the Philadelphia Flyers. Interestingly enough, one Coyotes line has consistently been able to get points despite everything going up in Flames around them, its Arizona’s third line. Specifically, Barrett Hayton and Nick Ritchie who between them have nine points over their last four games. Tonight in particular, they are up against the worst team in the league, offensively, defensively and everywhere in between the Hawks have been awful this season. Even against the Coyotes, it doesn’t look like it will get much better for them tonight as the Hawks are most likely starting Petr Mrazek in goal who has had one of the worst seasons of his entire career, including last season where he spent most of the year injured. This season he is 2-10-1 with a 4.19 goals against average and a .878 save percentage. There’s really no way to spin these numbers into a positive except for the fact that the Yotes have only put up slightly better numbers defensively. Which is why both teams are coming into this game with an implied total above three. Also, it is of note that both Ritchie and Hayton see well over 15 minutes of ice-time per game and Barrett Hayton also appears on the Yotes top power play unit.  There is always a bit of risk when dealing with two teams who have played so poorly and so inconsistently this season but this line has been performing well and the value on these two (Hayton and Ritchie) will help you fit the mammoth Panthers top line into your DFS lineups tonight.

1/6 NHL Wild Card Targets

Connor Sheary
– Fresh off of a five game point streak, Conor Sheary has looked incredible towards the end of December and heading into January. His recent point streak included three multipoint games and a short handed goal. He now has 27 points on the season, and is coming up against a Nashville side that is not known for their defensive abilities as they allow over 3 goals on average per game and are the third worst team in the league for shots on goal allowed per game. Sheary also sees time on the Capitals top line alongside Ovechkin and Kuznetzov as well as the Capitals second power play unit. At over 16 minutes of ice time per game, I think Sheary is definitely worth the risk.

Welcome back to the last Friday Night WinDaily NHL Between the Benches Article of the year! Only two slates left til 2023, so we gotta get those takedowns just in time for New Year! Tonight, we have a small 3-game slate tonight, but there will still be lots to enjoy this evening! Tonight’s 12/30 NHL 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!

12/30 NHL Stack Report

1. Edmonton Oilers 1 (Hyman-McDavid-Puljajarvi)

— Unlike the last article, there really aren’t any crystal clear mismatches on tonight’s slate, but like last week’s article, Connor McDavid is, in fact, on the slate and this season, he has been a particularly dangerous offensive presence, and I don’t see the Kraken slowing him down. Especially when these two division rivals are literally neck and neck in the Pacific Division standings, with both teams sitting on 40 points with the Kraken holding three games in hand, putting them in the second Wild Card slot over the Oilers. We can definitely expect a lot of goals in this matchup as both teams hold high implied totals (the Oilers hold a 3.4 implied goal total to the Kraken’s 3.3), and the O/U is currently set at 6.5. Both projected starting goalies tonight have had shaky seasons, especially Jones, who, despite holding a positive 14-5-3 record, has a shocking 2.99 goals against average and a save percentage below .900. The Kraken have also not been able to keep up with their form at the beginning of the season as they have dropped four of their last six games. Back to McDavid for a minute, he is the current leader in goals with a 10-goal cushion over the next highest goalscorer, his teammate Leon Draisaitl, and McDavid is currently tied for third in assists, only two behind the league leader Nikita Kucherov. It has been incredible to watch McDavid’s playmaking ability this season and his game-breaking speed that can change the course of a game. Regarding McDavid’s linemates, Hyman has also been electric this season with 37 goal contributions, while Puljajarvi has been less clinical in front of goal with only two goals and six assists this season. However, all three members of the Oilers’ top line see Power Play time, with McDavid and Hyman on the first unit and Puljajarvi on the second unit. I would recommend pairing McDavid with either Hyman or Barrie for tonight’s NHL Slate.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Tyson Barrie

2. Pittsburgh Penguins 2 (Zucker-Malkin-Rust)

— I was hesitating between the Penguins’ first and second lines but honestly, the Penguins’ second line has really been in form as of late. For example, before a bit of a cool down, he registered a nine-game point streak and has registered three goals and ten assists over the month of December, giving him more than a point per game this month. Not to mention, both Zucker and Rust are coming off multi-point games against the Red Wings, and the Pens’ top line has just not been at that same level of consistency as we head into the New Year. Also of note is that all three members of the Pens’ second line see power-play time, with Malkin on the top unit and Rust and Zucker appearing on the second power-play unit. The Penguins are also favoured in tonight’s game against the Devils and hold a high implied total (3.4) against one of the better defensive teams in the league. The Penguins’ second line is definitely a strong option for a secondary line to support the Oilers’ top line.


Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Pierre-Oliver Joseph (Ty Smith is a good value option here too)

12/30 NHL Wild Card Targets

Jordan Staal
– With an assist in his last game, his point streak currently sits at five games, and although at 34 years old, his best days of hockey are behind him, there is definitely some value while he is still producing points like this. I honestly don’t see him being an exciting player down the stretch this season, but on a small three-game slate without a ton of value options, I can get behind a guy like Jordan Staal. He has also been seeing a generous increase in ice time, getting up above 18 minutes twice during his 5-game point streak and on the top Penalty Kill for the Canes; there’s always the chance he gets a short-handed point as well!

Welcome back to another Friday Night WinDaily NHL Between the Benches Article! Only a few slates left til 2023, and tonight we have a large 11-game slate tonight so there will be lots to enjoy this evening! Tonight’s 12/23 NHL 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!

12/23 NHL Stack Report

1. Edmonton Oilers 1 (Hyman-McDavid-Puljajarvi)

— We’re starting off today’s article with the far and away best matchup on the slate as the league’s 3rd best offence goes up against the league’s 3rd worst defence. Statistically, this translates into a 3.65 goals-per-game average for the Oilers, while their divisional rival, the Canucks, cough up an average of 3.9 goals a game. Heading into Rogers place tonight, the Oilers hold the biggest implied total on today’s massive slate and are facing a team on the second half of a back-to-back who had a thrilling 6-5 game which ended in a shootout. In fact, the Canucks, in general, have been seeing a lot of extra ice time lately as their last six wins have either come by way of shootout or overtime, that fatigue will add up over time and I think it’ll have a part to play in tonight’s matchup against Connor McDavid (league leader in both goals and assists) and the Edmonton Oilers. Another Major target point in this matchup is power plays. The Oilers have the best power play in the league, their conversion rate is over 33%, and the Canucks Penalty Kill rate is the worst in the league at 67%, on top of that, the Canucks are also near the worst in the league in penalties drawn per game at 11, so the Oilers should have plenty of opportunities to capitalize on their league-leading power play, which all three of the top line play on as McDavid and Hyman appear on the top power-play unit and Puljajarvi appears on the Oilers second power-play unit. Overall, I’d say this is a clear mismatch, and I would urge everyone to take a piece of the Oilers for their DFS lines tonight.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Tyson Barrie

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

— My second favourite line of the slate are the Dallas Stars, who also hold one of the highest implied totals of the slate at 4 implied goals coming in tonight at home against the Montreal Canadiens. Offensively, this matchup is a bit of a joke, the Stars are near the top of the league in most offensive stat categories, including goals per game (3.56) and shooting percentage (11.2), while the Canadiens are near the bottom of the league with a mere 2.7 goals per game average and a league’s worst 13.6% power play conversion rate. Defensively, things don’t get much better for the Canadiens, as the Stars are putting up modest defensive numbers this season, the Canadiens are giving up an average of 3.45 goals against per game and registering nearly 12 penalty minutes a game. All three of Dallas’ first line also appear on Dallas’ top power-play unit. Furthermore, Dallas’ top line in particular has been rolling as of late with 8 points over their last three games including three in their last game against the Edmonton Oilers last Wednesday. Robertson, in particular, will be a top player to watch in tonight’s game as he is just five goals shy of the league leader, Connor McDavid. Although, not as crucial as having a share of the Oilers’ top line tonight, I would definitely recommend including some shares of Dallas’ top line for your DFS Builds tonight.

Tonight, the conference-leading Golden Knights are facing off against a middle-of-the-pack Blues team who have suffered from some shaky goaltending from starter Jordan Binnington who has given up an average of over 3 goals a game.

Welcome back to another Friday Night WinDaily NHL Between the Benches Article! Only a small three-gamer slate tonight but there will be lots to enjoy this evening! Tonight’s 12/16 NHL slate begins at 8:00 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Let’s get right into it!

12/16 NHL Stack Report

1. Minnesota Wild 1 (Zuccarello-Steel-Kaprizov)

— This is the clear mismatch of the night as the second worst team in the NHL, the Chicago Blackhawks, face off against their Central division rivals in the Minnesota Wild. Where do we begin with this one… for starters, the star of the Wild’s top line has been scoring at an insane clip, Kirill Kaprizov has points in 16 of his last 17 games and both Zucarello and Steel have been putting up points on a regular basis. One major advantage in their hopes of getting on their scoresheet tonight is their opponent. Right off the bat they have a 4.1 implied goal total, and that makes a lot of sense as the goalie they’re facing is Petr Mrazek who allowed 7 goals in his last start and holds a goals against average of 4.37 and save percentage of just .873. On top of that embarrassing stat line, the Blackhawks have lost their last five games while the Wild have won their last three. Over those five losses for the Blackhawks, they were shut out twice and gave up at least three goals a game. This is a prime opportunity to exploit the one pure mismatch of the night, yes they will be chalky but you won’t want to be left behind when they hit bit.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Jared Spurgeon (cheaper alternative Calen Addison)

2. Calgary Flames 1 (Dube-Kadri-Mangiapane)

— Despite Calgary’s recent struggles this line has been putting together some solid performances on the ice. Both Dube and Mangiapane have three points over their last three games and Kadri has six points over his last six games, with all three getting on the score sheet in the razor thin loss against the Vancouver Canucks last Wednesday. Tonight, they’re up against a Blues side who is not only on the second half of a back-to-back but the game they took part in last night was extra exhausting as they came back late against the Oilers to tie the game with a short-handed goal, only to give up a goal to McDavid in overtime which was then called back for offside and then the Blues were finally able to win it in a shootout. After a rollercoaster like that, any team would be rightly exhausted going into their second of two games on the road. This gives the Flames an excellent opportunity to capitalize against backup keeper Thomas Greiss who holds a 3-4-0 record along with a 3.69 GAA and a Save Percentage just below .900. The Flames are also coming into this game with the second highest implied total of the slate at 3.7 and every member of the Flames second line sees time on the Flames power play with Kadri on the top unit and Dube and Mangiapane on the second unit. I would recommend including some of the Flames second line in your Daily Fantasy lineups tonight!

Frederick Gaudreau
– Even though he is not alongside Kaprizov and Zuccarello. Gaudreau has been putting together a couple of solid performances as of late as he has three goals over his last two games and he’s steadily seeing over 13 minutes of ice time per game. We previously discussed the weaknesses of Petr Mrazek earlier in the article and Gaudreau is an affordable way to get some exposure on the Wild as I recommend that you target Mrazek in one form or another tonight, whether it is through the top line of the slate or a value piece like Gaudreau or Matt Boldy.

We’re back for another WinDaily NHL Between the Benches Article! Lots of action tonight, and from the early games to the late, there will be lots to enjoy this evening! For tonight’s 12/9 NHL slate, we have a large-sized ten-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!

12/9 NHL Stack Report

1. Calgary Flames 2 (Dube-Kadri-Mangiapane)

— The Flames have been an interesting side and although this season has been a bit of a roller coaster, their recent form has been as good as their name suggests, hot. Both teams in this matchup are coming into tonight’s game with three game streaks, with the Flames winning their last three and the Blue Jackets dropping their last three. In fact, over those three games, the Blue Jackets have coughed up an embarrassing 17 goals, that’s almost 6 goals against per game, including 6 that they gave up to the Sabres in the FIRST PERIOD of their last game. The Jackets looked one step behind for the entire game and I don’t think that things will look much different heading into tonight. Defensively, the Flames are leaps and bounds ahead of the Blue Jackets as Columbus holds the league’s worst goals against average per game at 4.16. Which is why it should come as no surprise that the Flames currently hold an implied goal total tonight of 4.1. Both of Calgary’s top two lines are solid options for tonight’s slate but I recommend taking the second line since they have been hotter as of late, and they are cheaper overall, which will help when trying to stack the other recommended line in today’s article. The Flames have also averaged over four goals over their current win streak and the second line in particular has scored 5 goals and four assists over that three game stretch!

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Rasmus Andersson

2. Boston Bruins 1 (Marchand-Bergeron-DeBrusk)

—This is the most significant mismatch of today’s slate and no matter what I would recommend having a piece of this game, whether it be the top, second or even the third line of the Boston Bruins. Straight away the first thing to note is that the bruins have only lost 3 games in regulation and one game in a shootout, that’s it, 21-3-1. A simply unbelievable start to their 2022-23 season. As a result, it should come as no surprise that the Bruins are heavy favourites coming into any matchup. However, tonight in particular, the Bruins are facing the 7-13-4 Coyotes who have lost their last six games and hold a 1-2-1 record at home. Statistically, this matchup is a bit of a joke, the Bruins either lead the league or are near the top in nearly every stat category, whereas the Coyotes are near the bottom if not dead last (dead last in shots on goal per game). For instance, in goals per game the Bruins have a 1.33 + advantage (3.96 to 2.63) and in goals allowed per game, the Bruins have a 1.55+ advantage (2.08 to 3.63). Every single stat category is very similar as on paper, the Bruins are better in every single way. I see this game’s scoreline getting out of hand very quickly, and I would recommend having a piece of the Bruins in your DFS lineups tonight.

12/9 NHL Wild Card Targets

Taylor Hall
– Despite being on the Bruins third line, Hall is steadily seeing over 14 minutes of ice time per game this season and he’s recently put together a four game point streak in which he has scored five goals and two assists. He did not have the best start to the season but he has really come into form as of late and tonight against the Yotes, who as previously mentioned, are really struggling this season. Hall could provide good value and would give you a piece of what is looking like a lopsided and high scoring game.

We’re back for another Friday of WinDaily NHL content! Although we have a smaller slate tonight, all three games are packed with action! For tonight’s 12/2 NHL slate, we have a small-sized three-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!

12/2 NHL Stack Report

1. Winnipeg Jets 1 (Perfetti-Scheifele-Wheeler)

— The Jets have the best odds and the highest implied total of this small three game slate with -245 and 4.1 xG respectively. This is because this matchup pits one of the best all-around teams in the league against one of the worst all around teams in the league this season. Not only that but going into this matchup the Jets are coming into this game on a three-game winning streak, while the Blue Jackets are coming into tonight’s game on a two game losing streak. The Jets have relied heavily on their top two lines for the majority of their scoring throughout the season and I am slightly leaning towards the Jets’ top line as they have been a little more consistent as of late. In their last game alone, Winnipeg’s top line put up four goals and six assists amongst themselves! On top of that, the goalie they’re going up against tonight, Joonas Korpisalo, holds a 3-4-1 record, a 3.76 goals against average and a save percentage below .900. Simply abysmal but not surprising given the season the Jackets have had to this point. One final note on this game is that the game will be taking place in Winnipeg and the Jets currently hold a home ice record of 8-2-0, whereas the Blue Jackets are a measly 1-4-1 on the road, talk about a home ice advantage!

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Josh Morrissey

2. New York Rangers 1 (Kreider-Zibanejad-Vesey)

— Although not as lopsided as the Jets and Blue Jackets game, the Rangers vs Sens game also has a clear favourite with a high implied total at 3.8 xG. These two teams actually just played each other two days ago in Ottawa and the Rangers were able to snap a three game losing streak and walk away with a 3-1 win with the Rangers top line contributing in two of the three goals scored. Tonight, these two teams will meet up again at MSG with all the momentum on the Rangers side of the ice. Although these two teams have similar offensive stats this season, their defensive stats show a stark difference. The Rangers are near the top of the league in goals allowed and shots allowed with 2.79 and 29.2 respectively, whereas the Sens give up 3.36 goals per game and nearly 34 shots against respectively. These are stats that you can’t give up against any team, let alone the Rangers. The Rangers will rely heavily on their top line tonight and I think they will walk away with the win here, comfortably.

12/2 NHL Wild Card Targets

Morgan Barron
– The late 2017 draft pick has successfully secured a spot on the Jets roster and thus far he has not disappointed. He’s put up five points over his last six games (1 goal, 4 assists) and is steadily seeing more ice time with each passing game. In his last game, he saw 16 minutes of ice time and was on the second line alongside Kyle Connor and Pierre-Luc Dubois. It’s been amazing to see his steady rise and I don’t think he’s done yet, Barron still has a lot to prove if he wants to keep his spot in the top six down the line.

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)

  1. 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)
  2. 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.
