Welcome to the Thursday edition of the daily fantasy hockey morning coffee. Tonight we have eight-game slate to work with for our daily fantasy hockey needs. This morning I’ll go through my top three stacks of the night and some value plays for your lineups.
The team I’ll target the most tonight is the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Leafs get the Arizona Coyotes tonight and while Arizona only allowed one goal their last time out they are still clearly the team to attack tonight. Arizona has allowed a league third-worst 3.10 goals against per game, an NHL 10th-worst 19 power play goals against (16 on the road). Toronto is eighth-best in the NHL with 2.89 goals per game, and that number jumps to 3.36 when at home.
Arizona has been shorthanded 100 times this season, ninth most in the NHL, so we should have chances on the power play and even strength tonight — especially with Toronto’s price so low.
Our power play stack will look like:
Leo Komarov $4.2K (3G, 7A, 2 PPP, 36 SOG)
Nazem Kadri $6.5K (10G, 8A, 5 PPP, 84 SOG)
William Nylander $5.2K (6G, 13A, 10 PPP, 69 SOG)
Auston Matthews $6.6K (13G, 9A, 7 PPP, 101 SOG)
(D) Jake Gardiner $4.1K (5G, 7A, 4 PPP, 47 SOG)
