Calgary Flames

Players to target: Michael Frolik, Mikael Backlund, Matthew Tkachuk, and Dougie Hamilton

The three M's and Dougie Hamilton are in a dream home matchup against the NHL's second-worst Corsi team (46.3 Corsi For percentage) in the Colorado Avalanche. The Avs have given up at least four goals in their last five games and that trend could continue tonight.

Many DFSers will look at the big -270 line for the Flames and go right to the top line of Sean Monahan and John Gaudreau, but the second line should see a much better matchup against Nathan MacKinnon and his group.

Mackinnon's line is allowing 58.8 Corsi Against per 60 minutes, which should give Backlund's line (66.2 Corsi For per 60 minutes, 9.9 Scoring Chances For per 60 minutes) high shot volume at even strength. The slash-happy Avs are tied for third-most penalties, giving the top-five unit (21.9 percent success rate) for Calgary another advantage.

This line should be chalk tonight, but it is unlikely they will even be the highest-owned line on their team, making them an awesome GPP stack.
