Players to target: Michael Ferland, Sean Monahan, and John Gaudreau
We like to target the Calgary Flames top line at home, since they will get to dictate the matchups, which almost always means they will see the lesser of the two top lines for the opposing teams. Tonight, they should avoid the Vladimir Tarasenko line for the St. Louis Blues and instead see the less scary second line, which has a 48 percent Corsi For percentage on the road.
The Gaudreau line has a 55.9 Corsi For percentage, 57.4 Corsi For per 60 minutes, and 2.7 expected Goals For per 60 minutes. They only get better at home, where their numbers bump up to 58.3 percent, 60.2, and 3.0 in the same category. They will all get top power play minutes as well, making them our top stack of the night.
