3 Daily Fantasy Hockey Stacks for 3/20/18
San Jose Sharks
Players to target: Evander Kane, Joe Pavelski, and Jannik Hansen
If the New Jersey Devils continue to use Travis Zajac on the top line with Taylor Hall and Kyle Palmieri, San Jose will be attractive in not only late slates but also main slates tonight. The trio is allowing 31.4 Scoring Chances Against per 60 minutes and 10 High-Danger Chances Against per 60 minutes. In their last game, they held their own against the Ryan Getzlaf line, but they allowed a critical goal when Zajac lost track of the center. Without Zajac, Hall's and Palmieri's rates jump into the positive realm, particularly with Nico Hischier.
The possession numbers for the Pavelski line are fantastic, including 41.8 Scoring Chances For per 60 minutes and 18.7 High-Danger Chances For per 60 minutes. While people used to avoid going up against the New Jersey top line with Zajac, this might be chance to get a great line at lower ownership in tournaments. With the 11-game slate and some headline matchups, this line has power-play and even-strength potential that cannot be overlooked.
