Four game NHL slate tonight
STACKS
Dallas Stars — Tyler Seguin, Jamie Benn, Alex Radulov
Both New York teams are playing tonight and both are really struggling to stop anyone. I prefer attacking the Rangers tonight as the Stars have been on fire and these three are skating together a ton and while they eat up a ton of your cap, they often prove to be well worth it. I really feel that you’ll need 1 if not 2 of these guys tonight.
Nashville Predators — Ryan Johansen, Viktor Arvidsson, Roman Josi
NY Islanders are giving up nearly 4 GA per game the last month and are giving up nearly 50 DK fantasy points per game in that stretch. The Preds top line is without Forsberg again tonight but RyJo-Arvidsson is a great place to start for stacking. I prefer Josi as the third man in this stack tonight given the defensive options on this slate and because the third forward is Colton Sissons who is a 2nd Center.
Toronto Maple Leafs — Auston Matthews, William Nylander, Morgan Rielly
Morgan Rielly returned to the Leafs lineup on Saturday and logged 20 minutes of ice time, so I have no problem pairing him with Matthews and Nylander as he is the Leafs best defenseman. They are not together on the power play, so if you want a PP pivot it would be Jake Gardiner instead of Rielly. The Ducks will be starting Ryan Miller in net, who has been decent this year, but I really like how the Leafs have played of late.
OTHERS:
Tampa Bay Lightning — Brayden Point, Tyler Johnson, Vlad Namestnikov

GOALIES
Andrei Vasilevsky (FD: 9200, DK: 8400) … Should make 30+ saves tonight and is a good favorite to win despite being on the road. Top cash game play.
Frederik Andersen (FD: 8200, DK: 7900) … Same boat as Vasilevsky, only he is at home and much cheaper on FD. Expect him to be very popular tonight on FD.
Ryan Miller (FD: 7700, DK: 7300) … Contrarian tournament pivot is Miller. I suspect Andersen is chalk on FanDuel but this is a game that could go either way. Miller would make sense as a stack with the Ducks top line of Getzlaf-Rakell-Silfverberg in tournaments.
LINE LOCK OF THE NIGHT: Seguin – Benn – Radulov (Dallas Stars)
ONE OFF STUD WINGER: Jamie Benn/Alex Radulov (Dallas Stars)
ONE OFF VALUE WINGER: Craig Smith (Nashville Predators)
