NHL

We’re back with another Saturday Night Win Daily NHL Article! Tonight we have a medium-sized 6-game slate ahead of us. We are now past the trade deadline so we will be seeing some new faces on some teams. With that in mind, there are lots of interesting plays to cover tonight, so let’s get right into it. Get ready for the newest edition of WinDaily’s Between the Benches! For tonight’s 4/17 NHL slate, the slate begins at 7:00 pm ET, so don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Let’s get into it!

Keep in mind!!! FanDuel has updated their NHL tournaments, and they now include two UTIL spots which have replaced two winger spots. DraftKings has stayed the same but don’t forget last season they revamped the scoring and added stats bonuses, so if you’re new to NHL or haven’t played in a while, check out our live stream on the WinDaily YouTube by clicking here and read through the rules on the site of your choice!

4/17 NHL Stack Report

1. Winnipeg Jets 1
   Copp – Scheifele – Connor (FanDuel: $18,100 | DraftKings: $19,800)
   – We gotta strike while the iron is hot here. Last Thursday, Winnipeg simply outplayed the Matthewless Leafs in every facet of the game en route to a 5-2 smashing. This line scored goals two, three and five and are in a great spot tonight against their divisional competitor in the Edmonton Oilers. There’s a high chance that these teams end up facing each other in the first round of the playoffs, so they’ll want to make sure they know exactly what they’re gonna be up against. When it comes to the Oilers’ goaltending in Koskinen, there is not much to celebrate for Oilers fans. He has a mediocre SV% subpar GAA and has barely any blue line support. Winnipeg is near the top of the league in most offensive stat categories, while the Oilers are middle of the pack in terms of goals allowed per game and well behind the rest of the league in shots on goal allowed per game. Trust me, the Oilers better hope they don’t give up too many clean looks to the Jets, or else they’ll pay the same price the Leafs did last game. At a 3.2 Implied goals total, I’ll be locking Winnipeg in my lines tonight.
   Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Neal Pionk (FD: $4,300 | DK: $4,200)
   
2. Chicago Blackhawks 1
   Kane – Dach – DeBrincat (FanDuel: $18,300 | DraftKings: $19,500)
   – I know Detroit beat Chicago last game, but statistically, this is Chicago’s game. Despite not getting on the score sheet last game, Patrick Kane has been flying over the past week with three assists and 17 shots over his past three games. Furthermore, getting a cheaper line with Dach at the centre position makes this an even stronger play. Bernier is a mixed bag in net and always has been. Sometimes he’s sharp, sometimes he’s a sieve, but the state of Detroit’s defensive lines won’t be doing him any favours tonight. Chicago has a nice implied total at 3.1, and Chicago has been lethal on the power play all season where all three of Kane, Dach and DeBrincat play on the top unit.
   Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Connor Murphy (FD: $3,700 | DK: $5,300)
   
   Honorable Mention(s): EDM1, DAL1, CAR2, MIN2

4/17 NHL Wild Card Targets

Jason Robertson (FD: $4,800 | DK: $5,700) 
– Robertson has been playing some insane hockey, and I’m prepared to ride this wave to this finish line. He hasn’t slowed down as of late, and his price keeps staying the same! Especially on FanDuel, sub 5K for a consistent scorer on the top line of a favoured team? They can’t be serious. I am definitely locking Jason Robertson in, especially because the Stars face the Blue Jackets tonight, who have some very questionable defence and goaltending.

Honorable Mention(s): Vrana, Dach, Gusev, Staal, Colton, Ehlers

Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)

Centre – Mark Scheifele

Winger – Jason Robertson

Defence – Dougie Hamilton

Goalie – Kevin Lankinen
