3 Daily Fantasy Hockey Stacks for 4/14/17
Montreal Canadiens
Players to target: Max Pacioretty, Phillip Danault, and Alexander Radulov
The Montreal Canadiens took one on the chin in Game 1 with a great performance by Henrik Lundqvist. The Habs will need to bounce back in a big way to get back into the series, and their top line will have to be the catalyst.
Danault's line has been solid in possession all year (64.5 Corsi For per 60 minutes, 9.7 Scoring Chances For per 60 minutes) and they saw the second and third lines for the New York Rangers in Game 1.
While they didn't take advantage of these matchups on Wednesday, the numbers tell us it's only a matter of time before they find the back of the net -- both Mika Zibanejad's and Kevin Hayes' lines allow over 58 Corsi Against per 60 minutes and 9.8 Scoring Chances Against per 60 minutes.
It's tough to score in the playoffs, especially on elite goalies, but we are looking for scoring chances in DFS, and a line with this much talent and great matchups should have a lot of them.
