Buffalo Sabres

Players to target: Ryan O'Reilly, Kyle Okposo, and Rasmus Ristolainen

As mentioned in the open, there are plenty of stacks to like on Friday, so most DFS players will ignore this game outside of Jeff Skinner. However, there are many reasons to play this trio on the Buffalo Sabres' side.

Their overall matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes doesn't look great, but it is a completely different story for O'Reilly and Okposo. The Canes will most likely treat this as the Sabres' top line with Jack Eichel playing with less-than-stellar line mates. If this is the case, Jordan Staal and his line will play at least half of their ice time against them and their advanced stats have not been good.

They are allowing 63.1 Corsi Against per 60 minutes and 14 Scoring Chances For per 60 minutes. This is money in the bank for O'Rielly and Okposo, who own a 57.5 Corsi For per 60 minutes and a 60 Corsi For %. They will get to skate with Rasmus Ristolainen and Jack Eichel on the Sabres' 10th-ranked power play (21.6%). This all makes for a great tournament stack.
