NHL
3 Daily Fantasy Hockey Stacks for 2/14/17
Tyler Bozak and his linemates -- James Van Riemsdyk and Mitch Marner -- have big upside in what should be a high-paced matchup against the Islanders. Who else should you stack tonight in NHL DFS?

Edmonton Oilers

Players to target: Patrick Maroon, Connor McDavid, Jordan Eberle, and Oscar Klefbom

Even though the Arizona Coyotes are coming off an impressive 5-0 win against the Calgary Flames, they may be overmatched against McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers. The Coyotes are last in the league in Corsi For Percentage at 44.8, compared to the Oilers' more respectable 50.8 Corsi For Percentage. The Coyotes should also be starting their backup goalie Louis Domingue instead of Mike Smith.

The Oilers have finally reunited McDavid and Eberle, which was a lethal pairing earlier in the season. Maroon, McDavid, and Eberle together accumulated 64.8 Corsi For per 60 minutes and 13 Scoring Chances For per 60 minutes. They usually match up with the opposing top line at home, which would give them a matchup with Martin Hanzal's line (61 Corsi Against per 60 minutes, 14 Scoring Chances Against per 60 minutes).

The advantage at even-strength is clearly with McDavid's line, and each of them will play significant minutes on the power play against Arizona's 77.9% penalty kill percentage. A tired Coyotes which just played last night may have a tough time keeping up with this line's speed and playmaking ability, making the top line for the Oilers the top stack of the night.
