NHL
3 Daily Fantasy Hockey Stacks for 1/20/17
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and the Edmonton Oilers are in a great spot tonight. Who else should you put in your NHL DFS lineups?

Montreal Canadiens

Players to target: Max Pacioretty, Phillip Danault, and Alexander Radulov

This is a line that should go overlooked because of the chalk we'll see with the Penguins, Hurricanes and Connor McDavid, but they have great numbers together. They own a 61.6 Corsi For per 60 minutes, a 54.5 Corsi For %, and 12.9 Scoring Chances For per 60 minutes. Not only have they controlled the puck, but their opponent tonight has done the opposite.

The New Jersey Devils are the NHL's fifth-worst Corsi For % at 47.1. While they don't play at a high pace, a 55.1 Corsi Against per 60 minutes should not shy you away.

The top line (Adam Henrique) allows 56.2 Corsi Against per 60 minutes and is below average in possession at 49.1% Corsi For. The Montreal Canadiens' top line should mostly face Henrique's line, but for good measure, the second line (Travis Zajac) for the Devils is allowing 10.6 Scoring Chances and has a Corsi For % of only 46.3.

This line is still underpriced on most sites, making it easy to double-stack with another top line.
