5 Matchups to Avoid in NHL DFS
Mikael Backlund and the Calgary Flames second line was great at limiting shots and scoring chances last year. What other matchups should we avoid in NHL DFS?

Calgary Flames

Matchup to Avoid: Michael Frolik, Mikael Backlund, and Matthew Tkachuk

These aren't the biggest names in the league, but together they have been one of the best all-around lines in the entire NHL, according to possession stats. Last season, they allowed under 40 Corsi Against per 60 minutes and just over 2 expected Goals Against per 60 minutes.

Anytime this line is at home and gets to dictate matchups, they have a good chance to limit the opposing team's top line.
