Players to target: Mike Hoffman, Derick Brassard, and Mark Stone
This line is reunited for the first time in the 2017-18 season. They were spectacular last year, posting a 58.6 Corsi For percentage with 54 Corsi For per 60 minutes. The Pittsburgh Penguins have struggled mightily on defense this year, allowing the fourth-most Scoring Chances Against per 60 minutes in the NHL.
The Brassard line should see the Evgeni Malkin line quite a bit, which has a 44.6 Corsi For percentage and allows 58.9 Corsi Against per 60 minutes. Each of the players listed will also be on the top power play with Erik Karlsson (who makes for a great addition to the stack if you can afford him) against the Penguins' 77.5 percent penalty kill.
