San Jose Sharks

Players to target: Tomas Hertl, Mikkel Boedker, Joe Pavelski, and Brent Burns

This is a bit of an unconventional stack, but there is a lot of correlation here.

First of all, Hertl and Boedker play on the same even-strength line with Jannik Hansen and have accounted for 72.8 Corsi For per 60 minutes, a 57 Corsi For percentage, and a surprising 15 Scoring Chances For per 60 minutes. Numbers like these are rarely seen even for the best lines in the league, and they probably won't have high ownership in tournaments.

The Sharks' third line should see some time against Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' line, which played better towards the end of the season, but still allowed 55.1 Corsi Against per 60 minutes and 10.3 Scoring Chances Against per 60 minutes. Hertl will play on the top power play unit with Pavelski and Burns, and the Oilers did not show great discipline in Game 1, committing six penalties, one of which resulted in a Joel Ward goal.

Get yourself some discounted Sharks in tournaments (Hertl/Boedker combined $8,200 on FanDuel) at low ownership in a sneaky-good road matchup.
