Players to target: Frank Vatrano, Riley Nash, and Matt Beleskey
If we want to go way off the board, the Boston Bruins' second line is a viable option that should be mostly overlooked in GPPs. While these three have not yet played together at the same time, they all have great possession numbers.
2016 | Vatrano | Nash | Beleskey |
---|---|---|---|
Individual Corsi For Percentage | 57.3 | 54.7 | 53.2 |
Individual Corsi For per 60 Minutes | 19.3 | 13.2 | 14.3 |
If these three have instant chemistry, it could pay off in a big way for risk-tasking DFS players.
They will see a matchup against the Calgary Flames's third line, which isn't great possession-wise (54.8 Corsi Against per 60 minutes, 45.7 Corsi For percentage, 8.1 Scoring Chances Against). Another great thing about this line is that Vatrano and Beleskey will both see power play minutes, and Calgary has committed the third-most penalties in the league.
This stack is a great, cheap option to pair with one of your favorite expensive lines that will create some much-needed differentiation on a short slate.
