3 Daily Fantasy Hockey Stacks for 3/28/17
Toronto Maple Leafs
Players to target: Auston Matthews, William Nylander, and Jake Gardiner
The Toronto Maple Leafs are in a playoff fight for their lives. Right now, they are in the Eastern Conference's last wild card spot, but the Tampa Bay Lightning and New York Islanders are only one and three points away, respectively.
With that being said, Toronto needs a big win on home ice against the Florida Panthers in a game they should take. Auston Matthews has been their catalyst on offense all year, and he has a great projected matchup with Nick Bjugstad and the Panthers' third line.
Bjugstad's line, while talented offensively, is allowing 60.3 Corsi Against per 60 minutes and 13.5 Scoring Chances Against per 60 minutes. These numbers are great news for DFS players who will use Matthews and William Nylander, who have notched a 68 Corsi For per 60 minutes and 13.6 Scoring Chances For per 60 minutes.
Jake Gardiner is also very underpriced on FanDuel ($4,400) and will play a lot of minutes with Matthews' line at even-strength while also quarterbacking the first power play unit (which Matthews and Nylander are a part of).
