Welcome to WinDaily’s newest NHL article, the NHL Stack and Track! In this article, the 12/27 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 11-game slate.
12/27 Stack Report
- Boston Bruins One $$$
Pastrnak – Bergeron – Marchand (FanDuel: $24,500 | DraftKings: 23,000)
– This line has been fire with involvement in six goals over Boston’s past three games. Led by the leagues scoring leader David Pastrnak, the B’s top line has clicked all season and has lined up together on Boston’s top power-play unit, along with defensive stud, Torey Krug. Tonight the Bruins will face off against the Sabres and although they have had offensive success this season their back end has been disappointing and their goaltending has been abysmal leaving it open to DFS exploitation.
Ideal Defensive Partner: Torey Krug (FD: $5,600| DK: $5,300) - Toronto Maple Leafs Two $$
Marner – Matthews – Hyman (FanDuel: $20,600 | DraftKings: 18,000)
– Coach Keefe molded this line partway through Mondays matinee gong-show against the Hurricanes and as soon as this combination was put on the ice it was ELECTRIC. In 59 seconds this line put up three goals, to turn a 6-4 deficit into a 7-6 lead in the third period. 60 minutes with this pairing could be dangerous, especially against a struggling goalie in Blackwood and a struggling team in the Devils.
Ideal Defensive Partner: Tyson Barrie (FD: $4,700| DK: $5,300) - New York Islanders One $
Eberle – Barzal – Lee (FanDuel: $18,600 | DraftKings: 15,600)
– The Isles have been silent assassins as of late. In their past three games, this line has been responsible for five goals and nine assists! The entire line is an absolute bargain, especially Anders Lee on DraftKings, below 5K is a joke, exploit it while it is available. All three play on the Isles top power-play unit and tonight will be facing off against a struggling goaltender in Corey Crawford who has given up an average of four goals in each of his last four starts even getting the hook in his last start after coughing up 4 goals on 20 shots, to the Devils.
Ideal Defensive Partner: Devon Toews (FD: $3,900| DK: $3,800)
Honorable Mention(s): Calgary Flames One, Vegas Golden Knights Two
12/27 NHL Goalie Tracker
Best
- Marc-Andre Fleury (FD: $8,500| DK: $8,000)
- Joonas Korpisalo (FD: $7,600| DK: $6,900)
(This pick needs a bit of explanation: Yes Korpisalo does not have good Vegas odds. However, Washington has faced Columbus four times in 2019 and Columbus has won all four with Korpisalo claiming three of the four wins, including the two this season. The Jackets have held the Capitals to 3 goals in 4 games in 2019 including 2 shutouts, although the risk is high, I like Korpisalo as a GPP option, especially considering the Capitals have been mediocre as of late and the Jackets have won their last five games, including the 3-0 shutout over the Caps on the Dec 16th.) - Seymon Varlamov (FD: $8,300| DK: $8,300)
Honorable Mention(s): Frederik Andersen
Worst
- Mike Smith (FD: $7,200| DK: $7,400)
- Linus Ullmark (FD: $7,200| DK: $7,600)
- MacKenzie Blackwood (FD: $7,200| DK: $6,900)
Honorable Mention(s): Corey Crawford
Wild Card of the Day
Ilya Mikheyev (FD: $3,900| DK: $3,600)
– Soup man has been producing as of late in his depth role with the Leafs this season as a rookie. Mikheyev is extremely affordable on both sites and has been putting up points recently like it is nobody’s business with five points in his past five games. (3G, 2A) Tonight he will be up against Mackenzie Blackwood (2.81 GAA) and is set to play alongside Leafs captain John Tavares on the Leafs second line.
Honorable Mention(s): Bryan Rust
12/27 Monkey Knife Fight NHL Prop Picks – Win With These Picks Here and Get 100 Percent Bonus!
Mathew Barzal – Over 3.5 Fantasy Points – Barzal has been on an absolute tear leading into the Christmas Break with five points in his last three games, in all three he easily cleared the 3.5-point threshold and given that he will be facing a sieve in Crawford who has given up an average of four goals in his past four starts, reaching the 3.5-point total should not be an issue.
Auston Matthews – Over 0.5 Goals – With three goals in his past two games, Matthews is second in the NHL in goals behind David Pastrnak. Unlike Pastrnak, Matthews has scored goals in his past four games. In this sense even though betting on Pasta getting a goal is safe. I recommend sticking with the hot hand. Both will be facing… questionable goaltending in Blackwoods and Ullmark.
Honorable Mention(s): David Pastrnak – Over 0.5 Goals
