3 Daily Fantasy Hockey Stacks for 4/5/18

New Jersey Devils

Players to target: Taylor Hall, Nico Hischier, and Kyle Palmieri

The Toronto Maple Leafs are locked into a playoff position and are fine tuning their roster. Overall, this Leafs team has allowed 2.98 goals per night on the road, and they own a 79.8% penalty kill away from home. The Hall line was excellent at even strength on Tuesday -- holding a 22-6 advantage in shots, drawing 3 penalties (all led to power-play goals), and generating 15 scoring chances.

On the road, Toronto's bottom-six yields 33.8 Scoring Chances Against per 60 minutes and roughly 13 High-Danger Chances Against per 60 minutes. The Maple Leafs have scored 17 goals and allowed 15 goals over their previous five contests. The last two meetings between these two teams produced 10 combined goals and an average of nearly 75 shots per night

There is risk with this game, but do watch for line shifts. For a twist, Will Butcher can replace Hischier in a stack to save some money and get exposure to the top power-play unit. Finally, the Auston Matthews and James van Riemsdyk lines have been dangerous in both meetings. They have each generated at least two High-Danger Scoring Chances per contest, so the Leafs have some appeal, as well.
