Welcome to WinDaily’s first NHL Stack and Track of the new decade! In this article, the 1/2 NHL Stack and Track, we will look at the top NHL stacks at each price range and rank the best and the worst goalie spots to target in tonight’s monster 12-game slate.
1/2 NHL Stack Report
- Boston Bruins One $$$
Marchand – Bergeron – Pastrnak (FanDuel: $25,200 | DraftKings: $23,000)
– This line is by far the strongest option out of many viable top lines in tonight’s monster 12-game slate. In their past four games, this line has put up seven goals and fourteen assists, making them one of the NHL’s top lines this season. In tonight’s matchup, they will be at home against one of the league’s worst goalies in Elvis Merzlikins. Despite a strong performance from Elvis last game, the statistics are simply too strong to ignore, especially when considering that this matchup is at TD Gardens where Boston has only lost one game in regulation and Elvis is 0-7 on the road.
Ideal Defensive Partner: Brandon Carlo (FD: $3,700 | DK: $3,000) - Toronto Maple Leafs Two $$
Kerfoot – Tavares – Nylander (FanDuel: $17,800 | DraftKings: $17,200)
– It was really hard to choose between Toronto’s top two lines but the second line has been slightly more productive and for a slightly more reasonable price. William Nylander has been the best producer on this line with a three-game multi-point streak and 11 points in his last six games. The center Tavares has been very productive as well with seven points in his last three games. Tavares produces a lot of shots and both Nylander and Tavares play on Toronto’s top power-play unit. The final forward, Kerfoot, has been recently upgraded to this line after an injury to Ilya Mikheyev and is by far the cheapest player on the line. Kerfy has still been producing well enough for his price point with three points in his last four games and has been seeing an increase in ice-time as well as a spot on Toronto’s second power-play unit under Sheldon Keefe.
Ideal Defensive Partner: Tyson Barrie (FD: $5,100 | DK: $5,300) - Montreal Canadiens Two $
Suzuki – Domi – Lekhonen (FanDuel: $14,700 | DraftKings: $12,100)
– Montreal has not played well as of late, however, this team has been putting up the numbers to make them viable as a cheap option. For his part, Vasilevskiy has been winning games but he has struggled to keep the puck out of the net and maintain his Vezina-winning numbers from last season (2018/19 GAA – 2.40) (2019/20 GAA 2.89). Max Domi centers this line and he has been a non-stop scoring machine as of late with consistent output, managing to put together a six-game goal streak. Lehkonen hasn’t been gaining from Domi’s offensive output as of yet but, Suzuki has been with eight points in his last six games alongside Domes.
Ideal Defensive Partner: Jeff Petry (FD: $5,100 | DK: $4,200)
Honorable Mention(s): Florida Panthers One, Pittsburgh Penguins One

Honorable Mention(s): MacKenzie Blackwood, John Gibson
1/2 NHL Wild Card of the Day
Alex Galchenyuk (FD: $4,200 | DK: $3,400)
– There are a lot of strong, viable options for tonight’s Wild Card. Galchenyuk has been put in an interesting situation given the recent long-term injury to Jake Guentzel. Galchenyuk now finds himself alongside Rust and Malkin on Pittsburgh’s top pairing. Galchenyuk has also been heating up with three points in his last three games and he will also find some time on Pittsburgh’s power play.
Honorable Mention(s): Dylan Strome, Ryan Strome (yes they are brothers), William Nylander, Tom Kuhnackl, Conor Garland

Panarin-Zibanejad-Tkachuk – Putting Up Points – This game pits two high scoring teams with two of the highest combined implied totals on tonight’s slate. Both goaltenders in this matchup have been very shaky and the O/U is set at 6.5. These three players have been each team’s top producers and I can easily see them surpassing three points together.
Nylander-Scheifele-Tavares – Putting Up Points – This game also has two of the league’s highest-powered offenses and both teams allow a lot of shots and a lot of goals. Each of these three players is currently on a roll and together have six goals and 12 assists in their last three games alone. While each starting goalie has a total of 24 goals against over their past three games combined.
Honorable Mention(s): Pastrnak-Panarin-Tavares – Star Shootout – Putting Up Points
