3 Daily Fantasy Hockey Stacks for 3/21/18
Calgary Flames
Players to target: Sam Bennett, Sean Monahan, and John Gaudreau
If the Anaheim Ducks continue to use Ryan Kesler on the second line with Andrew Cogliano and Jakob Silfverberg, then Calgary will be attractive in not only late slates tonight, but main slates, too.
The trio has almost 30 Scoring Chances Against per 60 minutes and 13 High-Danger Chances Against per 60 minutes. They held their own in their last game, but were again outchanced badly. Without Kesler, Cogliano and Silfverberg, rates jump into the positive realm, particularly when it comes to goals for and allowed (a two to one ratio).
The possession numbers for this version of the Gaudreau line are fantastic, including 37.2 Scoring Chances For per 60 minutes and 14.7 High-Danger Chances For per 60 minutes. While people used to avoid going up against the Kesler line, this might be chance to get a great line at lower ownership in tournaments. With the four-game slate and some headline matchups, this line has point potential that can't be overlooked.
