Buffalo Sabres

Players to target: Sam Reinhart, Ryan O'Reilly, and Kyle Okposo

The Buffalo Sabres aren't usually a team we want to stack, especially against a solid possession team in the Anaheim Ducks. But on home ice, they make for a great contrarian stack because of their great possession stats -- they've posted 69.1 Corsi For per 60 minutes, a 60.1 Corsi For Percentage, and 16.7 Scoring Chances per 60 minutes.

O'Reilly's line usually matches up with the opposing team's top line at home, which would mean a showdown with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry. We think of them as an elite line, but they own a Corsi For Percentage under 50 and have had an overall down year.

The Ducks also commit the third-most penalties in the league, and the Sabres have been great on the power play, converting 23% of their opportunities. They will come at a discounted price on FanDuel compared to other top stacks, and if the Ducks commit a few penalties, Buffalo's top line could shoot DFS owners up the leaderboards in GPPs.
