3 Daily Fantasy Hockey Stacks for 3/16/17
Chicago Blackhawks
Players to target: Nick Schmaltz, Jonathan Toews, and Richard Panik
In a road matchup against the Ottawa Senators without Mark Stone, most DFSers will gravitate toward the Patrick Kane-Artemi Panarin line. They make for a solid stack, but are much more expensive than the Toews line and will be without their center in Artem Anisimov.
The Toews line with Schmaltz and Panik has been great in possession since being put together -- they've posted a 60.9 Corsi For per 60 minutes and a 55.7 Corsi For percentage.
The Senators have weak defensive lines across the board without Stone, especially with Mike Hoffman being buried on the third line. Each of the Kyle Turris, Derick Brassard, and Jean-Gabriel Pageau lines is under a 50 Corsi For percentage while allowing at least 58.2 Corsi Against per 60 minutes.
Toews' will mostly avoid Erik Karlsson, who will be concerned with Panarin and Kane, and both Toews and Panik will get power-play minutes on the top unit. This stack allows you to do a lot with the rest of your lineup -- they cost a combined $15,700 on FanDuel, which would only be 30% of the salary cap.
