3 Daily Fantasy Hockey Stacks for 1/13/17
New York Rangers
Players to target: Chris Kreider, Derek Stepan, and Mats Zuccarello
I can't stress enough how high-paced and fun this game projects to be.
A couple weeks ago, this line was barely above a 50 Corsi For % and now they are at 55.6%. Their Corsi For per 60 minutes is up to 60.7, and in a game with a ton of shots and scoring chances, this is a spot where the Rangers top line should flourish.
Looking at the lines they'll face, the top three lines for the Maple Leafs give up a bunch of shot attempts based on their Corsi Against per 60 minutes: 61.7 (Auston Matthews' line), 59.4 (Tyler Bozak's line), and 66.1 (Nazem Kadri's line). The Leafs also give up almost six High Danger Shots per game, which is one of the highest in the league.
Adding to that, these guys will skate with one of the NHL's top defensemen, Ryan McDonagh, on the third-ranked power play (23.2%). This stack may see double digits in tournaments, but that should still be considered underowned with the upside they possess.
