3 Daily Fantasy Hockey Stacks for 4/5/18
Philadelphia Flyers
Players to target: Claude Giroux, Sean Couturier, and Travis Konecny
This Philadelphia Flyers' top line gets a solid matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes, who allow 3.2 goals per game on the road with a road penalty kill of 76.1%. Carolina's goaltending has been awful all season long (.897 save percentage), so Philadelphia has multiple ways to attack. The Flyers' power play is clicking at 20.5%, which includes a pair of power-play goals against the New York Islanders last time out.
The top line should match up well against any the bottom six of Carolina. Since the All-Star Break, the Hurricanes' depth lines have given up 32 shots per 60 minutes, 35 Scoring Chances Against per 60 minutes and just under 13 High-Danger Chances Against per 60 minutes.
In a previous meeting, Philadelphia's top line combined for nine High-Danger Chances against Carolina on the road, and they should be playing with some urgency tonight as they have not clinched a berth in the playoffs yet. Also, for those looking for something different, a power-play stack with Nolan Patrick in place of Konecny may prove fruitful. Patrick did score twice on the man advantage on Tuesday against the Islanders.
