3 Daily Fantasy Hockey Stacks for 1/26/17
The Calgary Flames are tweaking Johnny Gaudreau's line, and they have a nice matchup tonight against the Ottawa Senators.

Calgary Flames

Players to target: John Gaudreau, Sean Monahan and Michael Frolik

The Calgary Flames have been forced to tweak their lines after losing four straight games. Michael Frolik will take Alex Chiasson's spot and skate with Sean Monahan and Johnny Gaudreau in an effort to improve this line's offensive production.

With Chiasson by their side, Gaudreau and Monahan were posting 59 Corsi For per 60 minutes and a 54.9 Corsi For Percentage, which are both great numbers. However, the addition of Frolik provides an offensive presence that was lacking with Chiasson. Chiasson's Individual Corsi For per 60 minutes is 9.6 while Frolik's is 16. This is a stack that has three capable goal-scorers and a bunch of power-play time with some great offensive defensemen in Dougie Hamilton and Mark Giordano.

This new-look line will face Jean-Gabriel Pageau's line for much of their ice time in a matchup they should be able to dominate. Pageau's line is allowing 58 Corsi Against per 60 minutes, making this another high-paced matchup for NHL DFS players to exploit. While we don't know if this line will click immediately, they should be a low-owned stack with upside on a team that needs offensive production.
