NHL DFS Strategy and Core Plays

Toronto Maple Leafs @ Boston Bruins -5.5
New York Islanders @ Carolina Hurricanes -5.5
Vegas Golden Knights @ Dallas Stars – 5.5
Los Angeles Kings @ Edmonton Oilers – 6

Favorite GPP Line Stacks

Edmonton Oilers Line 1

Connor McDavid, Zach Hyman, Adam Henrique, w/ or w/o Evan Bouchard

Boston Bruins Line 2 & Power Play Line 2

Brad Marchand, Charlie Coyle, Jake DeBrusk, Charlie McAvoy

The Maple Leafs ranked 23rd in penalty kill percentage and they gave up two power play goals in Game 1. The Maple Leafs may have deserved a better fate in Game 1 but they lost their eighth straight game against Boston. Toronto has coughed up 22 goals over a current five-game losing streak. It’s tough not to stack Pastrnak with the Bruins, but they’ve made some switches to their power play. I’m also fine with a full Boston stack of Pastrnak, Marchand, DeBrusk, Pavel Zacha and Coyle.

Carolina Hurricanes Power Play Line 1

Jake Guentzel, Sebastian Aho, Seth Jarvis, Brent Burns

This line was quiet in Game 1. I expect them to be much better in Game 2. The Islanders had the league’s worst PK.

Dallas Stars Line 1

Jason Robertson, Roope Hintz, Joe Pavelski

A friendly reminder that home teams are perfect in these playoffs so far. Dallas has three lines that can score, and nobody likes to stack against Vegas. This line could come with low ownership numbers. Hintz was one of the best players in last year’s playoffs.

Vegas Golden Knights Line 2

Chandler Stephenson, Tomas Hertl, Mark Stone w/ or w/o Shea Theodore

Carolina Hurricanes Line 3

Jordan Martinkook, Jordan Staal, Andrei Svechnikov

Svechnikov leads all skaters in the playoffs with 14 shot attempts and eight scoring chances. His six shots are one behind the league-lead so far.

NHL Picks + NHL Props to consider

Love Adrian Kempe, and there are a few others I have my eye on in the betting market. I believe Kempe is a good one-off.
