3 Daily Fantasy Hockey Stacks for 1/15/18
Montreal Canadiens
Players to target: Max Pacioretty, Phillip Danault (if active), and Artturi Lehkonen
The Montreal Canadiens make for a nice late-night hammer stack against a leaky defensive team in the New York Islanders. Since the holiday break (December 26th), the Islanders have allowed the most Scoring Chances Against per 60 minutes (40.7) as well as the most High-Danger Chances Against per 60 minutes (17.2).
This line's best player, Max Pacioretty, is riding a four-game point streak and could easily add to that total against the Islanders' depth lines. Not only do they have a favorable even-strength matchup, but New York boasts the NHL's 30th-ranked penalty kill. If Danault is unable to play, Jonathan Drouin makes for a solid correlation center, as he will play on the same power-play unit as Lehkonen.
