Anaheim Ducks

Matchup to Avoid: Patrick Eaves, Ryan Getzlaf, and Rickard Rakell

It looks like this line will be intact for the start of the 2017-18 season, and that's bad news for whichever line gets to face them. In over 100 minutes of ice time together, they capped opposing lines to the tune of a 62.2 Corsi For percentage and 44.6 Corsi Against per 60 minutes. They also posted 0.54 expected Goals Against per 60 minutes at home, a truly remarkable number.

Like the Bergeron line, these numbers are daunting for opposing offenses, which is something DFS players should take notice of. Fading their probable matchup -- especially in home games -- is a good idea.
