Welcome, everyone! We’ve got an absolute banger of a slate tonight, a bunch of great mismatches to exploit and a strong parlay to get everything started! Get ready for the newest edition of WinDaily’s Between the Benches! For tonight’s 3/8 NHL slate, as mentioned, we massive 11-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!

PARLAY OF THE DAY

Avalanche, Golden Knight and Leafs winning on the Moneyline

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.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Alex Pietrangelo (FD: $6,400 | DK: $6,500)

Honorable Mention(s): TOR1, STL1, ANH1

3/6 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

  2. Robin Lehner (FD: $7,900 | DK: $8,200)

Worst (Goalies to Target)

  1. Jon Gillies (FD: $6,800 | DK: $7,100)
    Honorable Mention(s): Karel Vejmelka, Carter Hart

3/8 NHL Wild Card Targets

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.

Battle of Alberta!

Welcome to the NHL Man Advantage for a Monday night! Tonight we have five games on the schedule with the most prominent one being the battle of Alberta. Edmonton heads into Calgary to take on their fiercest rivals in the Flames. As for the remaining four games on this slate, they all appear to be pretty lopsided, the most of which being the Panthers heading to Buffalo who are on the second night of a back-to-back.

Toronto which has been on a roller coaster lately is in Columbus in what should be a win for them, Colorado is on Long Island, and Boston hosts Los Angeles who themselves are on the second night of a back-to-back as they end their four-game road trip.

NHL Bets:

Florida Panthers Over 4.5 goals: +155

Boston Bruins PL -1.5: +135

(I typically do not bet NHL and therefore may not place a bet on any or all of the above bets. Use caution when betting)

NHL DFS: Goaltenders

  1. Jacob Markstrom (vs Edm): Markstrom has been money pretty much all season for Calgary, but especially in his last ten starts. During that time, Markstrom is 8-1-1 with a .930 sv % (that is insane!) and one shutout. Edmonton has done well against Markstrom this season beating him both times they’ve played this season. We all know that Edmonton’s offense is potent, but they have lost five of their last seven and have been outscored 26-19.
  2. Sergei Bobrovsky (@ Buf): Buffalo as shutout by Petersen and the Kings Sunday afternoon, and although it’s unlikely to happen again Monday, it should be an easy win for the Panthers. My only concern with this play is that Buffalo does not shoot much so giving up a couple of goals could sin Bob. There is also another concern here, Florida plays in Pittsburgh on Tuesday so there is a chance Bobrovsky doesn’t play. If that is the case, we are off Florida goalies all together and then turn to Buffalo as a value play.
  3. Ilya Sorokin (vs Col): This is your risky play on the night, but there is some potential here. Sorokin just played this team six days ago, and while he did allow 4 goals, he made 38 saves earning the 35+ save bonus and 15.6 DK points. If you’re playing cash games or even single-entry maybe stay away, but if you are doing multiple lineups and want to stack the battle of Alberta (especially if Vladar starts over Markstrom) then Sorokin would be your best goaltenind option salary wise and upside wise.

Other Options: Francouz/Kuemper (@ NYI), Swayman (vs LAK)

Teams to build around:

I am going to tell you something you already know here, Florida is the top play on this slate and this is the team we are going to build around. Pretty much every time they are on the slate you have to focus on the Panthers. Today we also have the Avalanche on the slate with them so their ownership could actually be lower than usual because of this. All nine forwards in the top three lines for Florida are in play as is Patric Hornqvist because of his involvement on the second power-play unit. On defense for the Panthers, Ekblad, Montour, or Weegar can be used with stacks.

Looking at Colorado, they are entirely similar to the Panthers. The difference is though, for Colorado I only want to look at their top two lines. Colorado’s depth isn’t as deep as Florida’s is, so the value isn’t as deep either. I do think you can pair either of the Av’s top two lines with the Panthers’ 3rd line and get exposure to both teams.

*** Reminder *** When I say stack that does NOT mean you need to stack the FULL forward line, you can but you don’t need to. You can either stack TWO forwards w/a defenseman, all three forwards, or just do a mini two-man stack.

Who else can we play?

We know we want exposure to Florida and Colorado, but you can’t only play those two teams, so we need some other spots that we can use with them.

The first place I want to look is Calgary. You could legitimately put the Flames as a team you want to build around with Florida and Colorado, so why not run a stack with those teams. It is actually pretty easy to do so because the Calgary depth is cheap (on DK). You can easily run a Col1, Fla3, Cgy2 lineup with Markstrom if you so desire. All three of Coleman, Mangiapane, and Backlund are underpriced on DK and easily fit with any combination of the aforementioned Colorado and Florida lines.

Boston is another team that works well with the others mentioned in this article. Any of their first three lines are good options on Monday. The obvious play is their top line, especially the value play of Jake DeBrusk. If you need some real value, a two-man stack of Trent Frederic and Craig Smith from L3 allows you the savings needs to pay up elsewhere. Boston also has some cheap defensemen in Mike Reilly and Brandon Carlo

If you’re not playing Markstrom in net, then you can also use Edmonton as a secondary stack or for a game stack with Calgary. Of course, Connor McDavid is always in play, but I actually prefer to go with line 2 from the Oilers as a stack. Both Evander Kane and Leon Draisaitl have been playing well with three goals each in their last five. Kailer Yamamoto has been good for his price as well picking up shots on goal and blocked shots.

Other Stacks:

Toronto L1: Bunting – Matthews – Marner

Columbus L1: Laine – Jenner – Nyquist

Los Angeles L2: Arvidsson – Danault – Moore (make sure to check for an update on Arvidsson as he left Sunday’s game)

New York L1: Bellows – Pageau – Palmieri (Value stack)

If Johansson starts for Florida, both Buffalo L1 and L2 are in play.

Welcome, everyone! We’ve been putting in the DFS grind all week, lets get some hard-earned paper tonight! Get ready for the newest edition of WinDaily’s Between the Benches! For tonight’s 3/6 NHL slate, as mentioned, we have a smaller five 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!

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.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Mikhail Sergachev (FD: $5,600 | DK: $5,100)

Honorable Mention(s): VGK1 (Roy-Eichel-Dadonov), ANH1 (Henrique-Getzlaf-Terry)

3/6 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

  1. Igor Shesterkin (FD: $8,300 | DK: $7,600)
  2. Antti Raanta (FD: $8,400 | DK: $8,200)
    Honorable Mention(s): Robin Lehner, Andrei Vasilevskiy

Worst (Goalies to Target)

  1. Philipp Grubauer (FD: $6,900 | DK: $7,200)
    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.
Honorable Mention(s): Brady Skjei, Paul Stastny, Chris Kreider

Over the last month or so we’ve started to see smaller Saturday night slates.  Tonight is no exception as we have ourselves a nice-sized 6 game slate of NHL DFS on DraftKings and FanDuel.  Tonight we should see some fresh legs as only the Columbus Blue Jackets are playing on the back end of back-to-backs. 

Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money.   

Goaltending

Juuse Saros ($7.9K DK/$8.1k FD) vs. San Jose Sharks – If you look at Saros’ recent game logs, you’ll see someone that has been extremely inconsistent.  Over the last couple of weeks, he’s had as many as 21 DK points vs. the Stars and as little as 3.5 vs. the Hurricanes.  The matchup tonight should be on the “easier” side as the Sharks have been abysmal of late. 

Over the last month, they’ve been scoring just 2 goals per game.  Their offense has essentially vanished and has been one of the worst in the NHL.  The Predator’s propensity to give up shots and the Sharks’ inability to score goals of late has me loving this bounce-back match-up for Saros.  He’s under that $8k threshold on DK tonight so we won’t be paying a premium.  And we don’t like having to pay premiums on goalies. 

Vitek Vanacek ($8.2k DK/$7.6k FD) vs. Seattle Kraken – Yes, the Kraken put a larger than normal number for them Wednesday night when they scored 4 goals vs. Saros and the Predators.  That’s essentially their weeks’ worth of goals so we should be good to use a goalie against them tonight.  Over the last month, the Kraken are averaging just 2.30 goals per game.  They have an extremely weak offense. 

Tonight, we’re going to use Vanacek against them.  In a small sample size in the NHL this season, he’s shown some serious upside.  He has multiple games over 30 DK points.  Should he get the start tonight, I’m all in on him.  Whoever starts for the Capitals tonight should be in your pool of goalies. 

Stacks 

Washington 1 (Ovechkin, Kuznetsov, Wilson) + Carlson vs. Seattle

I haven’t used Ovechkin in quite some time when playing NHL DFS.  He’s been priced to a point where his production was leaving little value.  That said, he’s as cheap as you’ll ever see him.  For the first time since the start of the year, he’s priced under $8k on DK at just $7.7k.  That’s a steal.  I’m sure it will lead to him being more popular tonight, but at that price it’s hard to fade with the upside that he presents us. 

While he has only 2 goals over his last 5, he’s been showing some signs of life as he has 14 scoring chances over that period.  I plan on pairing him with Kuznetsov tonight, who’s also reasonably priced at just $5.3k.  Kuz is right behind Ovie with 13 scoring chances over his last 5 games.  Seattle’s giving up 4 goals per game over the last month.  This line should do well tonight. 

Boston 1 (Bergeron, Marchand, Debrusk) vs. Columbus

I highlighted above that Columbus is on the tail end of a back to back.  Even if they were rested, I would have attacked them.  With them likely having tired legs, it makes me want to attack them even more.  My priority with the Bruins tonight will be Debrusk at just $3.6k.  He’s been one of the hottest players in the NHL over the last couple of weeks with 5 goals in his last 5 games. 

While he’s quieted down a bit over his last 2 games, love the upside in him tonight against a team that is giving up almost 38 shots per game over the last month.  I normally stick with 2 man stacks and my lean right now is to pair him with Marchand over Bergeron.  Marchand has a slight edge in scoring chances and that’s what we covet, scoring chances. 

Edmonton 2 (Draisaitl, Kane, Yamamoto) vs. Montreal

Montreal has been a much better team since Martin St. Louis took over the realms.  That said, it’s still the same personnel that played poorly all throughout the first half of the NHL season.  I’m siding with Edm 2 tonight over Edm 1 because we get about a $1,500 savings going down to Draisaitl from McDavid.  Draisaitl has been showing some signs of life recently.  He has back-to-back games with multiple points and 3 goals and 8 points over his last 5.  At just $7.4k tonight we’re getting him at a huge discount from where he was about a month ago. 

My plan is to pair him with Kane tonight.  The 2 have played fairly well together as they’ve combined for 12 points over their last 5 games.  The Oilers should face Montembeault tonight.  After a solid stretch of 6 games, he came back down to earth against the Jets on Tuesday giving up 7 goals.  While I don’t’ see him giving up 7 tonight, the Oilers should surpass the 4 goals Vegas currently has them at. 

I also love Toronto tonight, but the Matthews line has absolutely burned me the last 2 games.  I’m a little gun shy going back to them tonight. 

Other stacks (Van 1, Tor 1, CBJ 1, Bos 2, Mon 1 and 2, Edm 1)

Top Defenseman

  • Brandon Carlo – $2.9k on DK – Has 12 blocked shots and 13 shots over his last 5.  Averaging 5 shots + blocks over that stretch.  He presents us with a ton of value if his play continues. 
  • Martin Fehervary – $2.6k on DK – Has 11 blocks over his last 5.  Doesn’t get the same shot volume, but he’s dirt cheap and is in a great environment tonight.
  • Cale Makar – 8 assists and 20 shots over his 5.  One of the top offensive defenseman in the league.  Expensive though.
  • Devon Toews – 2 goals and 5 assists over his last 5.  Colorado has done a great job getting offensive defenseman.
  • Tyler Myers – 13 blocks and 10 shots over his last 5.  Just $3.7k on DK.  Great Value.
  • Travis Hamonic – $4.4k on DK.  Average over 4.5 shots + blocks over his last 5.  Also a great value.

Vegas

Love the over on the Canucks 2.5 goals tonight.  While Toronto is a high-powered offense, they’re also poor defensively.  They’re giving up 3.75 goals per game over the last month.  Campbell has given up 14 goals in his last 3 games.  Canucks should put up at least 3 goals tonight.

Summary

Tonight’s the type of night where we have some high upside guys really priced down in Ovechkin and Draisaitl.  In my early builds, I have them continue to be my core 2 and surrounding them with at least one of their teammates.  With Defenseman tonight, I’m going strictly value.  There are 2 guys under $3k tonight on DK that have been giving us shots and blocks on a consistent basis.  They’ll give us a ton of salary savings. 

Make sure to use our optimizer when setting lineups.

Good luck and hope to see you in the green!

Welcome back everyone to another edition of WinDaily’s Between the Benches! This morning we have four games that all have intriguing pieces for us to use in tonight’s builds. A few immediately caught my eye, so let’s dig right into it! For tonight’s 3/2 NHL slate, the slate begins at 7:30 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Let’s get into it!

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

3/2 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

Worst (Goalies to Target)

  1. Philipp Grubauer (FD: $7,100 | DK: $7,400)
    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.

Welcome to the NHL DFS Man Advantage for the 2021-22 season.

If you are new to my articles, NHL, or WinDaily Sports then I will tell you that my articles are not going to give you the chalk plays or the obvious plays. I try to dig in and find ways for you to build lineups for GPP contests. I will always point out those top plays to help you build cash but that is not the point of this article.

…and down the stretch they come!

We have made it to March and the home stretch of the NHL season. There are now less than two months left in the NHL season and only three weeks until the trade deadline.

Tonight we have nine games on the schedule after just three games on Monday. I love the NHL but their schedules are just so strange. Both Boston and New Jersey put up seven goals on Monday and are back at it tonight in matchups that are just as juicy for them. Both teams will be high on my list of stacking options and it’s the same lines as last night. If you weren’t here yesterday take a look back at my article to see what I am talking about with New Jersey.

As for the other seven games on the schedule tonight outside of Calgary at Minnesota, no other matchup features two current playoff teams so this appears to be a very lopsided slate. My goal is to give you some of the best options to focus your builds around on Tuesday in brief breakdowns, unlike yesterday when I spent time focusing on one game essentially.

NHL Bets:

Edmonton goals scored O3.5: +105

Cole Caufield Over 0.5 points: -120

Boston Bruins Puckline -1.5: +125

(I typically do not bet and therefore may not place a bet on any or all of the above bets. Use caution when betting)

NHL DFS: Goaltenders

Top Ranked (SE/Cash) Goalies:
  1. Frederick Andersen (@ Det): After an up and down start to February, Andersen has righted the ship and has reeled off three excellent starts. We saw Detroit put up 7 on Toronto Saturday night, but that was against Jack Campbell and the Leafs and while Andersen used to play there, he is much better than Campbell right now. In those previous three starts, Andersen has allowed just four goals and averaging 28.7 saves per game, including 1 shutout. I know he is more expesive then I prefer to pay for a goalie, but Andersen has what I see as the best matchup on the slate.
  2. Francouz/Kuemper (vs NYI): I don’t care who starts for Colorado on Tuesday, they will be in one of my lineups. Contrary to their last game, the Islanders offense is putrid. They rank 27th in the league in goals scored and Colorado has been outstanding at home this season (17-7-2). I would prefer if Francouz got the start since he has been playing better than Kuemper, but either goalie is a good start tonight.
  3. Linus Ullmark (@ Anh): The Ducks are in a tailspin and Boston should have another easy go of it, similar to Monday night. Ullmark has not been spectacular of late for the Bruins, but he projects as one of the top plays on the slate. Anaheim is allowing over 30 saves per game to goalies in their last 10 and Ullmark is in my preferred $8K and under price range.
Value/GPP Goalies:
  1. J.F. Berube (vs NJD): I know I mentioned the Devils in the open, but Berube is a goalie with immense upside even if he gives up a few goals. Columbus has allowed 42.5 shots per game in his four starts and he is averaging 39.3 saves per game. This is a risky, GPP only, type of play but to get that elusive takedown, sometimes you gotta take that risk.
  2. Matt Murray (@ TB): This is another high risk, high reward type of play. Murray has had a coupe of shaky starts after having five great starts in his previous six games. Tampa is a high powered, potent offense that will put a few past Murray on Tuesday, but the shots will be there to make value. Tampa Bay is averaging 31.9 SOG P/G in their last five and in Murray’s last five starts the Senators have allowed 35.2.

Other Options: Connor Hellebuyck (vs Mtl), James Reimer (@ VGK)

Teams to build around:

There are so many ways to go on this slate and with 18 teams on the schedule tonight, one thing I will tell you is DO NOT worry about ownership. Of course, there will be a few teams that may be a little higher owned than the rest, but nothing that drastic that you should fade a team in GPP’s.

These are three lines that just pop off the screen to me as the top lines to build around on this slate.

Colorado L1: Burakovsky – MacKinnon – Rantanen (This MAY change after the morning skate, check the lines in the afternoon before building lineups.) Dmen to use: Makar, Toews, Girard

Carolina L1: Teravainen – Aho – Svechnikov. Dmen to use: Pesce, Skjei, Slavin, Cole (value)

Boston L1: DeBrusk – Bergeron – Marchand – This line TORE the King apart on Monday including a hat-trick from DeBrusk. I am going right back to them tonight. Dmen to use: Reilly, Carlo, McAvoy

**NOTE**: On a slate this large stick to no more than THREE-MAN stacks. You want to try and get exposure to as many teams as possible so going with a three-man stack, two two-man stacks, and a one-off play is something I do recommend tonight when I typically don’t. Of course, you can build however you like, but this is just something I have noticed working in the past for slates this large.

Roster construction:

Now, after you pick 1-2 teams to build around in your lineups, you will need to fill in the rest of your lineups. My preference would be to use Boston/Carolina as your two main stacks to build around because there is more value there and you can work in a good two-man stack and one-off play. You won’t need to dig too deep in the value bin to make that work.

One thing I will recommend is, and this goes back to the “note” above, don’t one-off your defenseman. I see a lot of lineups in discord with a one-off cheap defenseman. While that does work sometimes, typically forwards have more upside, especially centers. Try to correlate your defenseman with a forward and do not worry about what line a defenseman is listed on. They will spend time on the ice with all four forward lines, but you should look at the power-play lines and see if they play together there first. If you need some salary savings it is perfectly ok to pick a value dman, say someone like Ian Cole (Car) tonight. He is min price on DK and will see time with the top line throughout the night. This lowers your correlation but gives you the salary bump needed to get a better one-off forward.

Other top stacks:
  • Minnesota L1: Zuccarello – Eriksson Ek – Kaprizov. Dmen to use: Spurgeon (PP1), Merrill
  • Tampa Bay L1: Kucherov – Point – Palat. Dmen to use: Hedman (PP1), Sergachev, McDonagh
  • Columbus L1: Nyquist – Jenner – Laine. Dmen to use: Kukan, PEeke, Gavrikov (all three are pretty cheap)

You can use any of those three lines as full stacks, or as one forward – one defenseman stacks as well. They can also be used as your main stacks to build around, especially the Wild stack IF Vladar starts for Calgary.

It’s value time!

With the value stacks, I am going to give you some of my favorite two-man combos that can be used to fill out your lineups.

Top Priced Stacks:

  • McDavid/Draisaitl (Edm)
  • Blake Wheeler/Kyle Connor (Wpg) – PP1 stack
  • Timo Meier/Brent Burns – Dman (SJ) – PP1 stack
  • Matthew Tkachuk/Johnny Gaudreau (Cgy)
  • Dylan Larkin/Moritz Seider -Dman (Det) – PP1 stack
  • Jack Eichel/Shea Theodore -Dman – (VGK) – PP1 stack

Value Priced Stacks:

  • Jack Hughes or Nico Hischier/Jesper Bratt (NJ) – PP1 stack
  • Blake Coleman/Christopher Tanev – Dman or Mikael Backlund (Cgy)
  • Jonathan Marchessault/Brayden McNabb – Dman (VGK)
  • Jake Evans/Artturi Lehkonen (Mtl)
  • Zach Parise/Ryan Pulock – Dman (NYI) – PP2 stack
  • Matthew Tkachuk/Tyler Toffoli (Cgy) – PP1 Stack
  • Oskar Lindblom/Scott Laughton (Phi)

Welcome to the NHL DFS Man Advantage for the 2021-22 season.

If you are new to my articles, NHL, or WinDaily Sports then I will tell you that my articles are not going to give you the chalk plays or the obvious plays. I try to dig in and find ways for you to build lineups for GPP contests. I will always point out those top plays to help you build cash but that is not the point of this article.

It’s a Mini-Monday slate

Tonight we have just three games on the slate that locks 30 minutes late than usual. In the early games, Vancouver is on a back-to-back in New Jersey one night after throttling the Rangers. Toronto, fresh off dropping 10 on the Red Wings, heads to D.C., and in the late game, Boston is in Hollywood.

NHL Bets:

Bruins puckline (-1.5): +185

Auston Matthews over 1.5: +170

Jack Hughes over .5: -200

(I typically do not bet and therefore may not place a bet on any or all of the above bets. Use caution when betting)

NHL DFS: Goaltenders

Jeremy Swayman (@ Los Angeles)

Swayman has won three straight starts and four of five and I fully expect the Bruins to win again on Monday as they continue their West Coast trip. What worries me is how stingy the B’s are defensively. Swayman has only had one game this season where he surpassed the 35 save plateau (bonus on DK). Looking on the bright side, Los Angeles is a team that shoots the puck a lot. If he was going to have a second 35 save performance, tonight could be the game for it. I know it doesn’t seem like much to love about this play, but on a slate this small, there isn’t much to choose from.

*** If Linus Ullmark gets the start, he is still the top goalie on the slate as well. ***

Other Options: Jaroslav Halak (@ NJ), Petersen/Quick ( vs Boston), Mrazek/Campbell ( @ Washington)

Teams to build around:

As I have mentioned already, this is a small slate with not a lot to really pick from with only three games on it. I believe that the Leafs/Caps game will garner most of the DFS attention and probably be the popular game to attack. That is not necessarily a bad idea after what we saw Toronto do on Saturday and what we saw them allow to Detroit. Since that will potentially be the popular way to go, let’s break down another path that could be successful.

Vancouver Canucks @ New Jersey Devils: Game stack

New Jersey themselves gave up eight in their last game after dropping six on the Penguins the night before so they have recently shown they can put up goals in bunches and allow them as such. In their eight-goal drubbing in Chicago, the Devils did score five of their own. So, eleven goals for and nine against in their last two games, that sounds like a team I both want to stack and attack.

Jack Hughes has been on fire since returning to the lineup. In his four games since coming back, he has three goals and six assists, and points in all four. Hughes also has hit the shoots on goal bonus on DK twice and has put up over 20 DKFP in all four games. Playing with Hughes on the top line is Yegor Sharangovich who himself is on a six-game point streak and three-game goal streak. Sharangovich has four goals and five assists during his current streaks. Rounding out the top line is Dawson Mercer with just two goals and two assists for the Devils in his last three games.

New Jersey is unique in that there are so many ways to stack them. Only Hughes plays on the top power-play unit from this line. He joins Nico Hischier and Jesper Bratt from the second line (also a GREAT stack tonight with Pavel Zacha), and Nathan Bastian from the fourth line. On defense on that unit is Damon Severson. As for Sharangovich and Mercer, they are on the second unit with the aforementioned Zacha, Tomas Tatar, and Dougie Hamilton. If you are looking to find some value on defense, and I know you are, Jonas Siegenthaler is near min price on DK and is coming off a three-point performance in the Devils’ last game.

…”and now do Vancouver”

As for the Devils’ opponents tonight, the Canucks are fresh off a five-goal performance last night at MSG. Now, we usually don’t use a team’s fourth lines but every night I tend to see the Canucks fourth line pop up as a potential stack but I never go there. It’s a fourth line, what kind of value can they have? Well last night you would’ve been wise to do so, Juho Lammiko netted his 6th goal of the season, and Matthew Highmore also scored a goal and added an assist. They are joined by Tyler Motte on this line who adds the ancillary points (blocked shots, SOG). This is by no means the only way I want to attack the Canucks tonight, but instead, I just wanted to show some love to a line that can be useful tonight in the expensive Leafs/Caps game stacks.

Vancouver’s top 2 lines have pieces that are good, but as a whole, they have not been productive lately. Elias Pettersen is killing it now with eleven points in his last four games but his linemates on the second line have not chipped in. Both Bo Horvat and Brock Boeser have three points in their last five, but only one goal from linemate Podkolzin. As two-man or one-off plays, they are fine, but I am not looking to stack their lines or the power-play from Vancouver (NJ ranks 8th in PK% and is one of the least penalized teams in the league).

It’s the Canucks third line that I have interest in on Monday. They are the most expensive stack from Vancouver but they are the best stack and it starts with JT Miller. During his current six-game point streak, Miller has four goals and nine assists, including two last night. Tanner Pearson is on his own four-game point streak with three goals and two assists during this streak. Lastly, Conor Garland is not on a point streak, but he has three goals and an assist in his last 5. All three of these guys are top plays on this slate for me and my preference is to stack Pearson and Miller with Travis Hamonic on defense. Hamonic hasn’t scored much, but he has hit the shots blocked bonus three times in the last five games.

Other top stacks:

Boston L1 and L2: You can use either of these lines as a three-man unit or take two forwards to pair with a defenseman. Dmen to use: Reilly, Carlo, McAvoy

Toronto L1: Bunting – Matthew – Marner. Dmen to use: Rielly, Liljegren, Brodie

Los Angeles L1 or L2: Similar to Boston, if you want to run these as full lines that is fine or you can use them with a defenseman in a two or three-man stack. Dmen to use: Doughty, Roy, Durzi

Washington L2: Snively – Backstrom – Wilson. Dmen to use: van Riemsdyk, Orlov, Carlson.

Obviously, any line Ovechkin is on can be in play, but he has not been productive like his typical self lately and I don’t know if I am comfortable paying that salary on a small slate with so many other great options.

It’s value time!

There is not a lot of value on this slate, but these are a few lines along with Vancouver L4 you can use.

Toronto L3: Kerfoot – Kampf – Mikheyev

Washington L4: Hathaway – Dowd – Hagelin

Los Angeles L4: Kaliyev – Lizotte – Lemieux

New Jersey L3: Tatar – Boqvist – Johnsson

Welcome, everyone! We’re back with a brand new Sunday Night Win Daily NHL Article! We have a couple of different main slates so I’ll recommend lines that work for both sites. Let’s keep up the momentum and let’s get some takedowns tonight! Get ready for the newest edition of WinDaily’s Between the Benches! For tonight’s 2/27 NHL slate, as mentioned, we have a smaller five gamer and the slate begins at 6:00 pm ET (1:00 pm ET on DK). Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Let’s get right into it!

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 Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

  1. Ilya Sorokin (FD: $7,600 | DK: $7,700)
  2. Igor Shesterkin (FD: $8,600 | DK: $8,000)
    Honorable Mention(s): Zach Sawchenko, Connor Hellebuyck

Worst (Goalies to Target)

  1. Philipp Grubauer (FD: $7,100 | DK: $7,500)
    Honorable Mention(s): Elvis Merzlikins

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.
Honorable Mention(s): Brady Skjei, Zach Hyman, Martin Necas, Tage Thompson, Bryan Rust

Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)

Center Matt Barzal

Winger Timo Meier

Defenseman – Noah Dobson

Goalie Ilya Sorokin (Connor Hellebuyck works on DK)

Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot where I’ll be highlighting some of my top plays for tonight’s NHL DFS slate on Fanduel and DraftKings.  Tonight we have a solid 7 game main slate.

Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money.   

Goaltending

Jeremy Swayman ($8.2k DK/$8.1k FD) vs. San Jose Sharks – Over the past month, the Sharks have not been able to muster much offense.  They’ve been averaging just 2.44 goals per game over the last 30 days.  Guys like Hertl and Meier have gone ice cold and because of that, I’m happy to use a goalie against them tonight. 

Swayman himself has been pretty good of late.  Over his last 4 contests, he hasn’t scored less than 19 DK points and has only given up 4 goals over that stretch.  He’s in a great spot tonight and I plan on going heavy on him.  He’s already been confirmed as the starter tonight.

Andrew Hammond ($7.2k DK/$6.9k FD) vs.Ottawa Senators – Another team struggling to score goals right now is the Ottawa Senators.  Since January 26, they’ve been averaging just 2.21 goals per game.  That’s bad.  Hammond hasn’t played much this season.  In fact, he’s only played in one contest but he fared extremely well against the Islanders, stopping 30 of 32 shots.  He’s not safe by any means.  But he’s extremely cheap and opens up a ton of salary for us to spend on offense tonight. 

Stacks 

Montreal 1 (Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, Josh Anderson) + Jeff Petry

If you would have told me a month ago that I’d be writing up a Canadiens line as one of my favorite lines, I would have laughed at you.  Martin St. Louis has changed the culture around the team.  They’re currently riding a 4 game winning streak since MSL took over behind the bench and are finally playing some inspired hockey.  With Montreal, it all starts the kid Cole Caufield. 

Over his last 5 games he has 4 goals and 4 assists.  He has a solid 19 scoring chances over that stretch as well.  He’s making things happen right now and is somehow still priced under $5k on DK.  I’m going to side with Anderson on this stack, although I wouldn’t blame if you go with Suzuki or all 3.  Anderson is just $3.7k tonight on DK and has 3 goals in his last 5.  Look for the good times to keep rolling against the Senators tonight.

Toronto 1 (Matthews, Bunting, Marner) + Reilly

With the savings we’re getting from the Canadiens tonight, we should be able to squeeze in the expensive and explosive Maple Leafs against the Red Wings tonight.  If we look at what the Red Wings have done defensively over their last 10 games, they’re someone that we can attack.  They’ve been averaging 4.20 goals against over their last 10.  That’s the highest on the slate.  It’s been due to some really poor goaltending as their goalies have just an 87% save percentage over their past 10. 

When it comes to the Leafs’ offense, it all starts with Matthews.  I saw an interesting stat about him the other day.  Over his last 100 games, he has scored 77 goals.  That’s an insane pace.  The duo of Matthews and Marner is one of the best in the league.  They are extremely expensive as they’ll combine for $17.2k on DK tonight.  The cheap way to go here is to pair Matthews with Bunting tonight.  The Leafs should put up a crooked number tonight and I’ll want a part of it. 

Ottawa 1 (Stutzle, Tkachuk, Gaudette) + Chabot

I know, I recommended Hammond tonight.  He’s a risky play and if you aren’t comfortable playing him, I’d recommend going with some Senators tonight.  The Canadiens are playing much better hockey since MSL took over.  That’s undeniable.  That said though, it’s still the same personnel that’s been hot garbage for the majority of the year.  While they’ve been solid for 4, over their last 11 games they are still giving up almost 4 goals per game.  At some point the honeymoon will be over and the Canadiens defense will come back down to earth. 

It’s entirely possible it happens tonight.  While the Senators haven’t been scoring much, they still have some pieces that are doing well and are inexpensive.  Stutzle has 4 goals over his past 5 games to go along with 13 scoring chances.  While Tkachuk hasn’t been overly productive, he still has 18 scoring chances over his last 5, 7 of which were high danger chances.  He’s got all the talent in the world and can easily blow up tonight against the Canadiens.   

Other stacks (TB 1 and 2, Col 1, Nash 1, Det 1 and 2, CGY 1 and 2)

Top Defenseman

  • Moritz Seider
  • Thomas Chabot
  • Mikhail Sergachev
  • Brayden McNabb
  • Roman Josi
  • Christopher Tanev
  • Cale Makar

Summary

We have some high-powered offenses going tonight with the Leafs, Avalanche, and Flames in action.  I love the Canadiens/Senators game as a potential game stack tonight.  2 suspect defenses going in that one.  

Make sure to use our optimizer when setting lineups.

Good luck and hope to see you in the green!

We’re back with another Wednesday Night Win Daily NHL Article! We’ve been on an excellent run as of late here at WinDaily. Let’s make some more money tonight! On tonight’s slate, we have a small 5-gamer! Keep an eye on any COVID-19 news since it can change the whole outlook of the slate! With that said, let’s get ready for the newest edition of WinDaily’s Between the Benches! For tonight’s 2/23 NHL slate, the slate begins at 7:30 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Let’s get into it!

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)

2/23 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

  1. Darcy Kuemper (FD: $8,600 | DK: $8,500)
  2. Jonathan Quick (FD: $8,200 | DK: $8,300)
    Honorable Mention(s): Sam Montembault

Worst (Goalies to Target)

  1. Craig Anderson (FD: $7,000 | DK: $7,800)
    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.
Honorable Mention(s): Victor Arvidsson-Philip Danault, Robbie Fabbri, Phil Kessel, Tage Thompson
