3/30 NHL Stack Report

1. Winnipeg Jets 1
Ehlers – Scheifele – Stastny (FanDuel: $19,500 | DraftKings: $16,800)
– Connor has been listed as out today due to COVID-19 protocol. As a result, Stastny will be coming into the top line, adding much appreciated value to an already favorable line in tonight’s slate. Winnipeg has been on quite the run as of late, winning 8 of their last 11 games. Mainly led by the offense produced by this top line. Winnipeg has been averaging over 3 goals a game this season and their top line centre, Mark Scheifele is registering over a point per game on the season as well. On tonight’s slate they have been matched up against the Buffalo Sabres who have been able to somewhat steer their ship around toward the end of the season, but not nearly enough to be a competitive team moving forward. They still sit with one of the worst GAA in the league at 3.51 as well as one of the worst shot on goal allowed averages at 33.7 and penalty kill percentages at 75%. Despite Winnipeg being a middle-of-the pack team on both sides of the puck, their matchup and their line cost are what really boost their value tonight. Vegas certainly agrees as they currently have them pinned at a 3.3 implied goal total at the time of writing.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Josh Morrissey (FD: $5,900 | DK: $4,800)

2. San Jose Sharks 1
Meier – Hertl – Barabanov (FanDuel: $20,000 | DraftKings: $16,200)
– Here we are back to the well on the San Jose Sharks, as tonight, they are matched up against a team we have spoken about in previous articles, the Arizona Coyotes. The Yotes have been beyond bad this season and instantly raise the value of whoever their opponent is on any given night. The Coyotes currently sit on a six game losing skid where they have averaged 4 goals against per game. There is really no stat category where the Yotes are even slightly redeemable and the Sharks just seem to be that team who got the lucky draw in their opponents tonight. Vegas bookies certainly believe that they will capitalize on their advantage tonight as they are currently set at a 3.4 implied goal total. All three of the Sharks top liners see power play time with Meier and Hertl on the top unit and Barabanov on the Sharks Second Unit. Barabanov’s place on the top line as a salary saver gives me further cause to prioritize the Sharks top line on tonight’s 3/30 six-game slate.

3/30 NHL Wild Card Targets

Frank Vatrano (FD: $4,200 | DK: $2,800) 
– Vatrano has made quite the splash since joining his new team. He came from playing a bottom six role on a stacked Panthers lineup to the top line of a very top heavy Rangers lineup. His addition moved Panarin down to the second line with Andrew Copp (a good GPP stack in their own right) and he currently sits at four goals over his last three games against some tough competition. His time on ice is a little inconsistent but he is getting a lot of opportunities to produce points in his current role with the Rangers. He is also being given time on the Rangers second power play unit and is up against one of the worst defensive teams in the league in the Detroit Red Wings. The Wings sit dead last in goals allowed per game as well as dead last in their penalty kill, only killing off 72.4% of penalties. Their goaltending isn’t much better as Nedeljkovic sits at 3.26 Goals against per game with a 17-20-7 record, as starters go, it doesn’t get too much worse than that. Especially at Vatrano’s price, I definitely recommend taking a shot on the Rangers top liner.

3/27 NHL Stack Report

1. Toronto Maple Leafs 1
Marner – Matthews – Bunting
– Despite the fact that the Leafs are really struggling to put together wins as of late, this line is certainly not the problem. Especially when Auston Matthews is leading the league in goals and in the top ten in points. Last night, this line played a role in both goals, despite the 4-2 loss to the Habs. This line has been extremely consistent as of late and are always good for a goal or two. All three of the top liners for the Leafs see power play time with Auston and Mitch on the first unit and Bunting on the second. It should come as no surprise that the Leafs are coming into tonight with an implied total of 3.7 goals, even against a high scoring team like the Panthers. Lets not forget that the Panthers are starting Spencer Knight between the pipes, his inconsistency trouble could give the Leafs goalies a run for their money!
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Morgan Rielly

2. Winnipeg Jets 1
Connor – Dubois – Wheeler
– We’re finally at the most lopsided game of the slate and yes it’s the late hammer. Winnipeg has been ok this season but currently sit just outside a playoff spot. Fortunately for them, they’re up against the Arizona Coyotes who have consistently been THE WORST team in the NHL this season, yes, worse than Montreal, and worse than Seattle. The Coyotes have been worse than any other NHL franchise this season. They also have the stats to prove it, they sit dead last or near last in almost every offensive and defensive stat category and they’ve currently embarked on a four-game losing skid as they enter Winnipeg’s home arena tonight. Winnipeg has seen a lot of success out of their top line, especially from Kyle Connor who registered two points in their last game (including a slick short-handed goal). With his last two point game, Connor currently sits at 10 points over his last five games and that fact coupled with the Jets implied total sitting at over four, it’s really hard for me to avoid the Jets in tonight’s slate.

Honorable Mention(s): Jon Gillies, Carter Hart (DK Only)

3/27 NHL Wild Card Targets

Cole Caufield
– We’ve discussed Caufield’s comeback season in previous articles but the fact remains that he just doesn’t seem to slow down. Last night he registered another point giving him 9 points over his last seven games (6 of which were goals). Although Montreal is coming into tonight as an underdog, it’s really hard to tell which team has been worse between the Canadiens and the Devils. Bottom line is that Caufield will have his opportunities to score tonight as the Devils defense is really bad and their goalie Jon Gillies holds a sub .900 SV% and a 3-10-1 record.

Hello everyone and welcome to the newest edition of WinDaily’s Wednesday Night Between the Benches Article. Lots of great options available on tonight’s small four-gamer! For tonight’s 3/23 NHL slate, the first puck drops at 7:00 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Let’s get into it!

3/23 NHL Stack Report

1. Pittsburgh Penguins 1
Guentzel – Crosby – Rodrigues (FanDuel: $21,800 | DraftKings: $20,600)
– This slate has three deep mismatches on paper and one close contest. The mismatch between Toronto and New Jersey is a bit different than the two in front of us but we will touch on that in the Wild Card section. The two mismatches leading our stack report is much more straightforward. Pittsburgh’s whole top line is the more affordable of the two lines in the stack report and they have been playing supremely well leading up to tonight’s matchup against the fledgling Buffalo Sabres. Both teams in this matchup are on small winning streaks but Pittsburgh’s success has been more sustained throughout the season compared to Buffalo and Pittsburgh has been regularly demolishing teams, scoring 4 or 5 goals regularly in their winning efforts. This line in particular has put together 10 points over their last two games (4 G, 6 A). That’s an insane pace and with Buffalo’s defensive struggles that have seen them near the bottom of the league in Goals Allowed, Shots on Goal allowed and Penalty Kill %, I think that Pittsburgh’s top line is in a prime position to tear apart the Buffalo Sabres blue line tonight.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Kris Letang (Brian Doumolin works as a Salary Saver) (FD: $6,400 | DK: $6,800)

2. Colorado Avalanche 1
Nichushkin – MacKinnon – Rantanen (FanDuel: $25,400 | DraftKings: $20,700)
– We’re unsurprisingly back to what has consistently been one of the best lines in hockey for the past few seasons now. Tonight, they’re up against a very unimpressive defense in the Vancouver Canucks and as such the Avalanche are currently given a 4.1 implied total from the Vegas Oddsmakers. Vancouver’s penalty kill has been particularly bad as they sit at dead last with a 71.3% penalty kill rate, a horrible stat to have against the Aves who’s powerplay currently sits at fourth in the entire league at 24.8%. Luckily for us all three members of Colorado’s top line, including Cale Makar appear on Colorado’s top power play unit and will be seeing the most power play time for Colorado tonight. It’s also important to note that Colorado currently sits second in the league in goals per game with 3.83 and the Aves are currently on a four-game winning streak, whereas the Canucks are on a three game skid. I only see this game ending with a convincing victory for the Aves and I recommend having some exposure to them in your lines tonight.

3/23 NHL Wild Card Targets

Yegor Sharangovich (FD: $5,500 | DK: $3,700) 
– It may seem a little counterintuitive to list a winger on a team that is a +260 underdog as our wild card play of the day but realistically there are a few points that we need to take into account when assessing this play. 1) Sharangovich has gone absolutely gangbusters as of late with five points over his last five games (2 G, 3 A) 2) He is an affordable top liner who sees around 16-19 minutes of ice time a game, including time on the Second power play unit 3) The Leafs have been ABYSMAL as heavy favorites this season. I don’t have the faintest idea as to why but they cannot seem to convert whenever the bookies have them as a -300 favorite or greater (tonight the Leafs are -325) 4) The Leafs are starting Petr Mrazek, a goalie who was recently put on and cleared waivers based on how bad he’s been playing and his presence between the pipes for the Leafs tonight has ballooned the O/U for tonight’s game at an even 7.0. Even though New Jersey’s current O/U is set at 2.6, I truly believe they shouldn’t have a problem putting at least three by Mrazek tonight. Sharangovich works really well with his Centre Jack Hughes and even though the Leafs have defensive struggles their offense is still a juggernaut so don’t take this write up as me saying they are going to lose tonight or that their offense wont break the slate because they very well might. !!Do not overlook the Leafs top line!!

3/20 NHL Stack Report

1. Carolina Hurricanes 1
Trocheck – Aho – Teravainen (FanDuel: $21,500 | DraftKings: $19,700)
– We’re starting off tonight’s article with a common favourite in NHL builds this season, the Carolina Hurricanes as they play host to the New York Rangers. The Canes have lost their last few contests but have shaken up their top line making them more affordable for tonight’s matchup. Trocheck and Aho in particular have been really lighting the lamp as of late as Aho has three goals over his last five games and Trocheck is currently on a four-game point streak. All three members of Carolina’s top line appear on their top power-play unit and see on average around 18 to 20 minutes of ice time each, per game. Carolina also holds notable advantages in both goals for and goals allowed statistics and holds an extremely significant advantage in shots allowed as Carolina sits around 29 whereas the Rangers sit at around 32 shots allowed per game. Carolina is rightly favoured in this matchup and have a strong implied goal total of 3.6 making them one of the highest on the slate. I would really recommend using Bear on DraftKings in particular at his price as he has been getting some exposure with the top line and it has been paying off on his stat sheet. Carolina’s top line is definitely a solid option to think about on tonight’s smaller slate.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Ethan Bear (FD: $4,200 | DK: $2,600)

2. San Jose Sharks 1
Dahlen – Hertl – Meier (FanDuel: $19,100 | DraftKings: $15,300)
– It’s really hard to imagine not seriously considering San Jose’s top line in tonight’s matchup. On top of the fact that they have the highest implied total on the slate at 3.7 and are set to face off against one of the worst defensive teams in hockey in the Arizona Coyotes who give up 3.53 goals against per game, they are also a very affordable top line. Especially with C/W Jonathan Dahlen who stacks really well alongside his two talented linemates. All three members of the top line see power-play time with Hertl and Meier on the top unit and Dahlen on the second unit. Dahlen has been able to register some points as of late thanks to his linemates with two points over his last five games. Heading into tonight’s smaller slate I really don’t see a goalie worse than Karel Vejmelka and I would highly recommend having some exposure to the San Jose Sharks to target him tonight.

3/20 NHL Wild Card Targets

Quinn Hughes (FD: $5,800 | DK: $5,700) 
– Quinn has been a bright spot on an otherwise lacklustre Vancouver team. Despite being a defenseman he is one of the best offensive producers on the team as he currently sits at second on his team in points. Hughes has especially turned it on as of late with a goal and seven assists over his last seven games. On top of that Hughes regularly sees anywhere from 23 to 27 minutes a game and is a mainstay on Vancouver’s top power-play unit. The main draw for me, however, is that the Canucks are coming into tonight with one of the highest implied totals on the slate at 3.7 and Hughes is an excellent way to get comfortable exposure targeting Buffalo’s weak defensive core without relying too heavily on Vancouver’s often unreliable offence.

Hello everyone and welcome to the newest edition of WinDaily’s Wednesday Night Between the Benches Article. We have a great slate tonight with, in my opinion, two clear top options! For tonight’s 3/16 NHL slate, the first puck drops at 7:30 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Let’s get into it!

3/16 NHL Stack Report

1. Tampa Bay Lightning 1
Killorn – Stamkos – Kucherov (FanDuel: $23,500 | DraftKings: $18,000)
– Wow, we are starting off with a banger. Despite the fact that FanDuel has these three all listed as Wingers, Stamkos will be getting the nod as top-line centre tonight as Point moves down to the second in favour of Alex Killorn. We could easily mention the stark contrasts between the two teams in this matchup and we could rehash Seattle’s goaltending issues, despite the fact that they do not allow a lot of shots on goal, to begin with. But for this matchup, I think it’s safe to say that Seattle has had one of the worst seasons out of any team this year as they sit near the bottom in both offensive and defensive categories and they are set to run directly into the train that is the back-to-back Stanley Cup Champs in the Tampa Bay lightning. (Defensively, the Kraken sit third last in goals for [2.57] and fourth last in goals against [3.59]) Vegas tends to agree, they have set Tampa’s implied total at 3.9 along with making them a 3 to 1 favourite to win tonight. Tampa is up here for a reason and with Killorn’s value, I really like a two-man from this line with Killorn alongside either Kucherov or Sergachev.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Mikhail Sergachev (FD: $5,200 | DK: $4,900)

2. Calgary Flames 1
M.Tkachuk – Lindholm – Gaudreau (FanDuel: $24,700 | DraftKings: $19,700)
– Here we have the biggest favourites of the slate with the highest implied total. Calgary has been on a monstrous pace as of late winning four of their last six games against some formidable opposition such as the Avalanche, Oilers and Lightning. The Flames top line in particular has been responsible for a significant chunk of Calgary’s offensive output that has seen them sit in 6th in the entire league in goals. Johnny Gaudreau has been leading the pack with a strong season with 78 points in just 59 games, placing him fourth in the league in points. I expect him to make strong strides towards the top of that pack tonight against the Devils. The Devils goaltending has been suspect at best and Jon Gilles in particular has had a pretty abysmal season with a 3-9-1 record along with a 3.33 GAA and a save percentage below .900. I would strongly recommend having some exposure to Calgary in your lineups tonight.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Rasmus Andersson (FD: $6,000 | DK: $4,300)

Honorable Mentions in order: NJD1 (Sharangovich-Hughes-Mercer), BOS2 (Pastrnak – Haula – Hall)

BOOKIE BET OF THE NIGHT: UNDER 6 BOS/MIN

The logic behind this decision is that out of the two teams Boston is very defensively sound and has done a lot to keep the puck out of their net, but they haven’t been scoring as much as the season progressed. Despite being on a three-game winning streak. The Bruins have only managed to crack 5 goals (between both teams) in a game once over their last four games. Even though there are a lot of top players in this matchup I don’t foresee a lot of goals.

3/16 NHL Wild Card Targets

Connor Brown (FD: $5,300 | DK: $4,100) 
– Connor has been on quite the run as of late with four points over his last four games. He has been incredibly consistent in the points department, especially for a player at his price. Brown has also been good for at least two shots on goal per game if not more and has registered the odd blocked shot. Brown is an uncharacteristic Wild Card as he has a very safe floor but at his price, it’s hard to not be at least somewhat interested in him on tonight’s shortened slate.

PARLAY OF THE DAY

3/8 NHL Stack Report

1. Colorado Avalanche 1
Rantanen – MacKinnon – Landeskog (FanDuel: $27,600 | DraftKings: $21,100)
– To lead off the article we have a matchup between one of the league’s highest-scoring offences in Colorado who average 3.93 goals per game against one of the leagues’ worst defences in the New Jersey Devils who average 3.54 goals against per game. These numbers are brutal for the Devils, no matter how you slice it. Unsurprisingly, Colorado has the highest implied total of the slate at an event 4.0 implied goals and on top of that, this line is now back to full strength as league point leaders Rantanen and Landeskog are joined by in my estimation, their team’s most valuable player, Nathan MacKinnon. They’re not quite the same without him and with him in the lineup, the Devils are going to have a rough night at the office, especially considering their goalie troubles as of late.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Cale Makar (FD: $7,200 | DK: $7,100)

2. Vegas Golden Knights 1
Roy – Eichel – Pacioretty (FanDuel: $20,000 | DraftKings: $15,800)
– For our second line of the night, it’s not as much about how good they are like the Aves but rather how bad their opponents are. Bad doesn’t even begin to describe the season the Flyers have had to this point. To date, the Flyers have lost 6 of their last eight games, routinely coughing up 5 to 6 goals in the process. The Flyers have struggled a lot this season, whether it be their coaching change, their long losing streaks or their awful goaltending. They have just never been able to find any semblance of consistency. Their opponent’s the Golden Knights haven’t been the Kings of Consistency either but the problems that the Golden Knights have pale in comparison to the massive issues plaguing the Flyers this season. On top of that, the Golden Knights are coming off a strong win against the Ottawa Senators, where this line scored the winning goal with a mere 5.2 seconds left. The Knights have started to play good hockey again, winning three of their last four games and are in a prime position to make it four of their last five, here tonight. The implied total is very favourable to them at 3.5 goals but knowing the Flyers’ defensive struggles, it could end up being much worse than that.

Michael Bunting (FD: $6,100 | DK: $4,700) 
– Michael Bunting has been on quite the tear as of late and yes he has benefitted tremendously from having two all-star linemates. Regardless he’s a cheap winger and he’s putting up points like it’s nobody’s business, we already saw him get a hat trick not too long ago and five games ago, he had a five-point game! Ever since that game, he’s continued his point streak as he now has 10 points in his last 5 games. Not too bad for a rookie winger! On top of that, the Leafs are going up against the Kraken. We have gone in-depth on the Kraken’s defensive failings, their high goals-against average in contrast with their low shots on goal against percentage, bottom line is the Leafs (and Bunting) should have no problem tearing right into the Kraken tonight.

3/6 NHL Stack Report

1. Carolina Hurricanes 1
Svechnikov – Aho – Teravainen (FanDuel: $23,600 | DraftKings: $20,300)
– Here we have what is clearly the top line of the entire slate. Carolina’s top line has been on absolute fire lately as the Canes have won six of their last eight games. This line has been a consistent factor for the Canes with Aho leading the charge registering nine points over his last nine games. We have covered Seattle’s poor defence in past articles and looked at how their high GAA and low shots on goal means that either their goaltending has been horrendous, their defence is allowing prime shot opportunities or both. Either way, it makes me strongly believe that Carolina will take over the slate tonight. All three of the top liners play on the Canes top power-play unit and see around 20 minutes of ice time a game.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Jacoob Slavin (FD: $5,600 | DK: $5,300)

2. Tampa Bay Lightning 1
Palat – Point – Kucherov (FanDuel: $23,800 | DraftKings: $20,700)
– Tampa has the highest implied total of the entire slate at 4.1. That’s a combination of Tampa’s juggernaut offence alongside what has been a very lacklustre defence on the part of the Chicago Blackhawks. Injuries and controversies derailed what could’ve been a breakout season for the Hawks. Instead, they sit near the bottom of the league in both goals allowed and shots on goal allowed, while doing even worse offensively averaging just 2.46 goals per game. Fleury has been a bit of a bright spot for the Hawks but even so, he hasn’t been able to stop the onslaught by himself and the Chicago defence usually keeps him pretty vulnerable. This is a horrible thing to do against a team like Tampa. Tampa’s top line is stacked with lethal shooters who can be dangerous from most parts of the ice. Specifically Kucherov and Point, both have been killing it as of late, Kucherov himself has 10 points over his last six games and point has 8. Even at home, I don’t see the Hawks standing much of a chance here tonight. All three of the Lightning’s top liners see anywhere from 17-20 minutes of ice-time per game and see power-play time with Point and Kuch on the top unit and Palat on the second unit.

   Honorable Mention(s): Zach Sawchenko

3/6 NHL Wild Card Targets

Connor Brown (FD: $5,100 | DK: $4,100) 
– Brown has been an assist machine as of late with five assists over his last five games. He’s also been shooting the puck a lot more frequently lately as he’s got 10 shots on goal over his last two games and he consistently sees over 20 minutes of ice-time per game. According to current lineup projections, he will be getting a boost to the top line for tonight’s game alongside established top liners Brady Tkachuk and Josh Norris with the extended absence of Drake Batherson. Brown also sees time on the second power-play unit and the Sens will be facing off against a goalie in Lehner who’s dropped two of his last three with a GAA of over 3 in that time.

3/2 NHL Stack Report

1. Nashville Predators 1
Duchene – Granlund – Forsberg (FanDuel: $20,300 | DraftKings: $14,500)
– Let’s start off with what I see as one of the big mismatches of the night. Offensively, the Preds have been rather middle of the pack, with the main flashes of brilliance coming from winger Filip Forsberg. The Kraken on the other hand have really had a season to forget as they sit near the bottom of the league and are woefully underperforming even to the standards of their harshest critics. Despite a very low shot on goal against rate, they allow an incredibly high amount of goals against at 3.55, the only way to properly explain that is that their goaltending just hasn’t been up to par and that even though the Kraken D may have done some good work in limiting chances, the Kraken goalies always give up a couple of cheap ones with the few opportunities that the opposing team are afforded. With that level of play, it’s no surprise that the Kraken are currently on a big downward spiral dropping their last seven games. All three of Nashville’s top liners play on the Preds top power-play unit and as far as pricing goes the Preds top guys are priced very reasonably, especially compared to the second team on our radar.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Roman Josi (FD: $7,000 | DK: $7,200)

2. Toronto Maple Leafs 1
Marner – Matthews – Bunting (FanDuel: $25,100 | DraftKings: $22,000)
– Here we are… the Leafs are the biggest favourites on the slate and its really not even close. Their implied total is set at an astronomical 4.5 and are listed as -430 favourites. It’s very clear what the bookies are projecting for this one. I have no reason to disagree with them, the Leafs have been on quite a run lately, scoring insanely high amounts of goals (including a combined 17 goal game two games ago!) and having those goals fairly concentrated among the top liners. Over their last three games, this line has put together 22 points amongst themselves. That’s unreal and given the mismatch on display tonight, I can only see those numbers improving. Defensively, the Sabres have huge liabilities being near rock bottom in the league in both goals allowed and shots on goal allowed. Craig Anderson who is set to start for the Sabres has also been coughing up over 3 goals a game this season and the Sabres themselves currently sit at the wrong end of a six-game losing streak. Thankfully, all three of the Leafs’ top liners see Power-play time with Matthews and Marner on the first unit and Bunting on the second unit. The only concern in playing this line is the price, I would recommend having a couple of pieces in your lineup and not investing most of your salary into one line, but momentum is on the Leafs’ side, scoring ability is on the Leafs’ side and the stats are on the Leafs” side… not much else to say about this line.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Morgan Rielly (FD: $6,200 | DK: $5,800)

Honorable Mentions in order: DAL1 (Pavelski-Hintz-Robertson), STL1 (Perron-O’Reilly-Saad)

BOOKIE BET OF THE NIGHT: OVER 6.5 TOR/BUF

– Well even though Toronto has a shot at cracking the over by themselves, neither side are fielding good starting goalies and we could see a situation where the Sabres manage to bag a few on the Leafs back up goalie (I doubt we’ll see another 17-goal barn burner though)

Honorable Mention(s): NSH -180 on the Moneyline

   Honorable Mention(s): Craig Anderson
   

3/2 NHL Wild Card Targets

Justin Holl (FD: $4,900 | DK: $2,700) 
– It’s very rare that I’d list a defenseman in the Wild Card slot but here we are. We’ve already discussed why the Leafs, in general, are a good play tonight but many may overlook the young defenseman as he has some struggles earlier on in the season. Since then he’s really been able to fine-tune his game and over his last few games, he has been an absolute monster. He’s registered 7 points over his last four games with five points coming over his last two games and on top of that, he’s starting to creep around 20 minutes of ice time a game. Holl’s price has raised a bit on FanDuel but he is still a solid value play, especially in tonight’s mismatch against the Buffalo Sabres.
Honorable Mention(s): Tage Thompson-Alex Tuch, Peyton Krebs-Casey Fitzgerald, Jordan Eberle, Viktor Arvidsson, Jordan Kyrou

2/27 NHL Stack Report

1. San Jose Sharks 1
Meier – Hertl – Barabanov (FanDuel: $20,700 | DraftKings: $15,800)
– Tonight’s late hammer is carrying a lot of value in their top line as aside from Meier who is priced extremely high, San Jose’s top line has been impressive, compared to the rest of the lineup who have been severely lacking (with one exception). Seattle has been on quite the downward spiral as of late too. They have dropped their last six game and in many of these games they gave up around 5-6 goals. San Jose’s main draw tonight is definitely their matchup. Seattle has not been good on either end of the puck ranking 27th in the league in both goals scored and goals allowed while having one of the worst shots on goal average in the entire league at 28.1. San Jose is coming into the second half of a back but if it weren’t for that, I can’t imagine the bookies having this one as close as they do. San Jose is still slightly favoured but given the weak play of their opponents lately, coupled with the point production of their top unit, the San Jose Sharks are a good place to start your GPP builds on both sites.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Brent Burns (FD: $6,600 | DK: $6,000)

2. New York Islanders 1
Palmieri – Barzal – Parise (FanDuel: $15,000 | DraftKings: $11,700)
– This line is way too cheap, especially on DraftKings where two of the top liners are in the $3,000 range, that’s simply unbelievable, especially against a team in the Ducks who notoriously struggle on the defensive end of the ice. The Islanders are not the most offensively gifted team but Anaheim does give up a lot of good looks and allows shots on goal at an unacceptable rate. On average, Anaheim allows over 33 shots on goal against per game, while nearly giving up three goals a game. With the way they’ve been playing right now, it’s the Islanders top line who are going to benefit from Anaheim’s defensive lapses. The great thing about this line is the versatility, they work as a full line stack, a two-man and they can be easily paired with a defenseman. On top of that, the price of these guys will really help alleviate some of the heavy price tags on the higher priced lines, such as Pittsburgh’s top line.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Noah Dobson (FD: $6,200 | DK: $5,800)

Honorable Mention(s): WPG1 (Stastny-Scheifele-Wheeler), DAL1 (Robertson-Hintz-Pavelski), STL1 (Saad-O’Reilly-Perron), PIT1 (Rust-Crosby-Guentzel) (MAIN CASH LINE PIT1)

2/27 NHL Wild Card Targets

Logan Couture (FD: $6,600 | DK: $5,100) 
– With 5 points out of his last five games (4 goals, 1 assist), Couture has been the only major contributor on the Sharks who isn’t on the top line. Couture has been consistently effective as of late and has regularly seen time on San Jose’s top power play unit. Despite a slight price increase on FanDuel, he is still fairly priced on DraftKings and all the same points we made about Seattle’s defensive weakness’ still apply to having some shares of Couture tonight. He can work as a one off but I prefer him in a mini-stack with defenseman Brent Burns.

2/23 NHL Stack Report

1. Colorado Avalanche 1
Rantanen – MacKinnon – Landeskog (FanDuel: $27,700 | DraftKings: $21,900)
– On this slate, there are three top teams that are in play tonight, Tampa, Edmonton and Colorado. Of the three, Colorado has been the most consistent and is facing the worse defensive team in the three, mainly because Tampa and Edmonton are actually going up against each other. The Avalanche currently sit in first place in the NHL and have three players in the top 20 in points. MacKinnon would be there but he spent a good chunk of the season injured which allowed Kadri to benefit off his absence point-wise. With MacKinnon back, this line is now at full strength and is as dangerous as ever. Especially, against a Detroit side who coughs up an average of 3.43 goals per game and 32.8 shots against per game. Those are dangerous numbers against the second highest scoring offence in the league. (only behind the Florida Panthers who don’t play tonight) It is hard to stack this trio on FanDuel so I would recommend going with your favourite forward and pairing him alongside their ideal defensive partner (Cale Makar) so you can still stack this top line, this is much less of an issue on Draft Kings. Either way, I would strongly recommend having some exposure to Colorado’s top line in your builds tonight.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Cale Makar (FD: $7,000 | DK: $6,600)

2. Los Angeles Kings 1
Iafallo-Kopitar-Kempe (FanDuel: $18,200 | DraftKings: $16,800)
– The Kings are an insanely good play tonight. Not only has their top line been performing excellently as of late but they are up against the Yotes who have objectively one of the worst defenses in the NHL, sitting at or near the bottom of most defensive stat categories. On top of that they’re very reasonably priced and all see a lot of ice time, including time together on the Kings top power play unit. Despite the game being in Arizona, the Kings top line should have no trouble cracking into the Yotes at home as Arizona has gone 1-5-0 over their last 6 home games.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Drew Doughty (FD: $6,900 | DK: $6,300)

Honorable Mentions in order: EDM1 (Hyman-McDavid-Yamamoto), DAL1 (Robertson-Hintz-Pavelski), TBL1 (Kucherov-Point-Palat)

   Honorable Mention(s): Alex Nedeljkovic
   

2/23 NHL Wild Card Targets

Cole Caufield (FD: $4,700 | DK: $3,700) 
– Although I am not on Montreal as a team tonight, there is something to be said about Cole Caufield. He’s a young winger with a clear chip on his shoulder and as of late he has been producing at a very high level with three goals and three assists over his last three games. (Three games in which he helped Montreal win) It’s by no means a sustainable pace but it is indicative of the fact that he is gaining some trust back in this lineup and is seeing around 20 minutes of ice time per game… that always helps. Although Anderson works as a GPP goalie, he has by no means has a good season and Caufield will definitely have opportunities to score tonight. He pairs well alongside winger Josh Anderson but can also pair alongside Centre Nick Suzuki.
