We have a nice 10-game daily fantasy hockey slate on the docket tonight. There is one full-game stack I’m interested in and three teams I’ll look to stack tonight in my GPPs.
Colorado Avalanche @ Boston Bruins
Vancouver Canucks @ Tampa Bay Lightning
Calgary Flames @ Arizona Coyotes
Edmonton Oilers @ Philadelphia Flyers
Usually I attack teams on the second night of a back-to-back, but the Boston Bruins get lucky in that they draw Colorado tonight. Colorado has allowed an NHL sixth-worst 3.00 goals against per game and a league seventh-worst 20 power play goals against.
Colorado has an NHL ninth-worst CA/60 of 56.42 so we should see the puck tilt toward the Colorado zone tonight. Boston should be able to get plenty of shots on net as Colorado is toward the bottom of the league allowing 31.51 SA/60.
Like a broken record I’ll repeat this again: I’m going to stack Boston’s first line. The Marchand/Bergeron/Pastrnak line is one of the best puck possession teams in hockey (CF/60 of 71.39) going up against a possession-challenged Colorado team. We should see this stack pay off tonight. So while I list the Boston Bruins as a team I want to stack, my real interest in those three players.
There is also merit to looking at the Colorado side of this one as they likely will get Khudobin and not Rask in net for Boston tonight. It’s purely a GPP play as Khudobin only allowed one goal on 30 shots the last time he was in net. I’d actually prefer Khudobin as a play in my GPP lineups as we can get him at $7.8K and Boston is currently listed a big favorite tonight.
Tonight I’ll also attack
