NHL
3 Daily Fantasy Hockey Stacks for 2/15/17
The Three M's -- Michael Frolik, Mikael Backlund, and Matthew Tkachuk -- make for a great stack tonight vs. the Flyers. Who else should you stack in your NHL DFS lineups?

Calgary Flames

Players to targets: Michael Frolik, Mikael Backlund, Matthew Tkachuk, and Dougie Hamilton

This line has made a number of appearances here, and for good reason -- they've played phenomenal possession hockey all year while getting a ton of shot attempts (65.1 Corsi For per 60 minutes and a 57.7 Corsi For Percentage). Frolik, Backlund, and Tkachuk all play on the second power play together with Hamilton, who attempts over 16 shots per 60 minutes.

On top of that, they keep getting underowned to the Sean Monahan -- John Gaudreau line. In the $3 FanDuel Breakaway on Monday night (2-game slate), Gaudreau and Monahan were 49.2% and 40.6% owned, respectively. The ownership for any of the players on Backlund's line weren't higher than 26.3%.

The matchup looks tough on paper since the Philadelphia Flyers can score goals in bunches, but they also give up a bunch of shots and scoring chances -- especially the top line.

When Wayne Simmonds, Claude Giroux and Brayden Schenn have been together, they've allowed 65.7 Corsi Against per 60 minutes and 10.7 Scoring Chances per 60 minutes. Michal Neuvirth has given up 5 goals in each of his last 2 road starts and faces a Calgary team that will look to get back on track after an ugly 5-0 loss to the lowly Arizona Coyotes.
