3 Daily Fantasy Hockey Stacks for 3/19/18
Nashville Predators
Players to target: Filip Forsberg, Ryan Johansen, and Viktor Arvidsson
The Buffalo Sabres allow 3.22 goals per game at home with or without Jack Eichel in the lineup. They have a below average penalty kill that hovers around 78% at home. In their last game, they were out-shot and out-chanced handedly against the Jonathan Toews line. As Eichel adjusts to playing more and more, teams like Nashville should exploit the lesser matchups.
The possession numbers for the Johansen line are fantastic, including nearly 30 Scoring Chances For per 60 minutes and almost 12 High-Danger Chances For per 60 minutes. While people usually avoid top lines going up against the O'Reilly line, this might be chance to get a great line at moderate ownership in tournaments. Boston will be higher owned and even Columbus may be enticing because Boston does not have Patrice Bergeron. Boston and Columbus have a lot of volatility whereas Nashville-Buffalo have an expected goals approaching six.
