3 Daily Fantasy Hockey Stacks for 1/4/17

Mikael Backlund and his line mates make for a high-upside stack tonight against the Avalanche.

In daily fantasy hockey, stacking is a great way to pile up points and shoot up the leaderboards in tournaments. Each goal can be assisted by up to two other players, so knowing a player's line mates and pairing them together in the same lineup is a great way to rack up points when a team scores.

There are six NHL games on Wednesday's slate. You don't need me to tell you that Claude Giroux, Jakub Voracek and Tyler Seguin are solid plays since the ownership will be concentrated on studs. Instead, here are three stacks that should see lower ownership and have big upside.
