Top Stacks

San Jose Sharks Line 1 – Alex Barabanov – Logan Couture – Michael Eyssimont ($13,600)

This Sharks line has been one of the most productive in the NHL recently, with an expected goals for (xGF) of 4.26 per 60 minutes according to moneypuck.com. Additionally, both Couture and Barabanov are on the top power play unit, which gives them even more scoring opportunities. The Sharks also have one of the highest implied totals on the slate tonight at 3.6 goals, which indicates that they are expected to score a lot of goals in this matchup. Their opponent, the Montreal Canadiens, has been struggling defensively this season and allows the second-highest expected goals against (xGA) per 60 minutes in the NHL. That makes the Sharks Line 1 an attractive stack for tonight’s slate.

Pittsburgh Penguins Line 1 – Jake Guentzel – Sidney Crosby – Rickard Rakell ($20,000)

The Penguins Line 1 is coming off an offensive explosion against the Tampa Bay Lightning and has been playing extremely well recently. They also have a great matchup against the Nashville Predators, who allow the fourth-highest xGA per 60 minutes in the NHL.

Defensemen

Roman Josi, Nashville Predators ($9,200)

Josi is one of the most talented defensemen in the NHL and has been playing extremely well recently. He has scored 23-plus DraftKings points in four out of his last five games, which shows his immense upside. While his price is high on DraftKings, he is well worth the cost of admission at home in what should be a high-event game versus the Pittsburgh Penguins. Josi should see 25-plus minutes of ice time tonight, which increases his chances of putting up a big fantasy performance.

Henri Jokiharju, Buffalo Sabres ($3,000)

Jokiharju is one of the best value defensemen on the slate according to Stokastic’s NHL DFS projections. With Rasmus Dahlin out of the lineup, Jokiharju should see increased ice time and power play time at just $3,000. He is a great addition to a Buffalo Sabres stack, which could provide a lot of value in tonight’s slate.

Goalie

Linus Ullmark, Boston Bruins ($7,800)

In net, Ullmark is the top goalie in the league and has a great matchup against the Calgary Flames, who have been putting a lot of shots on net recently. Ullmark has a high save percentage and should be a good option for tonight’s slate.
