3 Daily Fantasy Hockey Stacks for 4/4/17
The Penguins' top line is in a nice spot tonight against the Blue Jackets. Who else should you look to stack on a 13-game slate?

Pittsburgh Penguins

Players to target: Jake Guentzel, Sidney Crosby, and Conor Sheary

It's hard not to take this line every night as they have been consistently great when they have played together. Tonight, the Pittsburgh Penguins get a home matchup against one of the best teams in the league, the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The Blue Jackets have a stacked top line of Nick Foligno, Alexander Wennberg, and Cam Atkinson, which is the line Crosby and company will likely match up with. When those three on Columbus skate together, though, they are allowing 69.1 Corsi Against per 60 minutes and 9.6 Scoring Chances Against per 60 minutes.

Crosby and his linemates should be able to take advantage of those poor possession numbers as they have posted 84.3 Corsi For per 60 minutes, 17.3 Scoring Chances For per 60 minutes, and a ridiculous 62.2 Corsi For percentage.

Columbus is generally seen as a solid all-around team, but this matchup is a great one for the Penguins' best line. They should have high shot volume and a lot of chances to score goals tonight.
