We enter Thanksgiving week with a tidy six-game slate to work with for our daily fantasy hockey needs. There are two teams I really like for a team stacks and nice one offs across the league tonight.
Tonight’s Slate
Arizona Coyotes @ Toronto Maple Leafs (Toronto, -230, 6 over/under)
Columbus Blue Jackets @ Buffalo Sabres (Columbus, -160, 5.5 over/under)
Calgary Flames @ Washington Capitals (Washington, -145, 5.5 over/under)
New Jersey Devils @ Minnesota Wild (Minnesota, -170, 5.5 over/under)
Winnipeg Jets @ Nashville Predators (Nashville, -140, 5.5 over/under)
Anaheim Ducks @ San Jose Sharks (San Jose, -186, 5.5 over/under)
Tonight the Toronto Maple Leafs get an Arizona team that has allowed a league-worst 3.82 goals against per game and have a team save percentage of just .833 percent — also worst in the NHL. Arizona has the seventh-worst CF% in the league with a paltry 47.74 percent. Additionally, Arizona allows the seventh-most scoring chances in the league with a SCA/60 of 29.7 and are among the worst in the league in HDCA/60 at 12.43.
On the Toronto end we have a team with the ninth-best power play percentage in the league at 21.4 percent, and have scored an NHL second-best 3.71 goals for per game. The Maple Leafs generate the third-most scoring chances per 60 minutes in the league clocking in with a SCF/60 of 32.09 and in five on five situations have an xGF/60 of 2.76.
Toronto has won six straight games and exploded for six goals against Montreal on Nov. 18 and have allowed just one goal over their past three games. So this a long-winded way of saying yes, please stack up Toronto in your cash games and look to their secondary scoring in your tournaments.
