3 Daily Fantasy Hockey Stacks for 3/30/17
Connor McDavid's line has a solid matchup against the Sharks. Who else should you consider stacking tonight in Thursday's NHL DFS tournaments?

Edmonton Oilers

Players to target: Patrick Maroon, Connor McDavid, and Leon Draisaitl

Despite this being our top stack of the night, McDavid's line may go somewhat overlooked because of others in great spots and a perceived bad matchup against a solid San Jose Sharks team. However, if we look at the matchup Maroon, McDavid, and Draisaitl will see at even strength, this is a sneak-good option.

At home, the second-year phenom and his linemates go up against the opposing team's top line for over half of their ice time. In this case, that projects for a matchup with Joe Thornton, Joe Pavelski, and Jannik Hansen, who are talented offensive players, but are allowing 67.3 Corsi Against per 60 minutes and 8.8 Scoring Chances Against per 60 minutes at even-strength as a group.

McDavid and Draisaitl are both on seven-game point streaks, and should add to that with Patrick Maroon providing some much-needed salary relief to this otherwise pricey line.
