How many of you are supplementing your DFS action with hockey? It is a wise move! I was recently having a conversation with a friend looking to get into NHL DFS. Their opening statement was, “Every line I build is loaded with studs!” My reply was, “Each team is full of studs!” I continued by saying, “It’s up to us to choose the right set of studs every night!”

As each day passes on the NHL schedule more and more information is made available to us. That information is extremely helpful when building stacks and NHL lines. Thank you for the continued support!

Here are seven stacks I love tonight and several combos we can use!

Las Vegas Golden Knights 2

Jonathan Marchessault L2 & PP2
William Karlsson L2 & PP1
Reilly Smith L2 & PP2

The Vegas Knights are in play each night they are in action. What is shocking to me is the fact they remain under the radar every night. Going back to last season their ownership remains low. Vegas welcomes in the Arizona Coyotes and are projected to win 66.7% and score 3.1 goals.

Montreal Canadians 1

Tomas Tatar L1 & PP2
Phillip Danault L1
Brendan Gallagher L1 & PP2

Looking back through last seasons notes and game scripts I noticed the Canadians were favorites of mine in Hot Puck. Fast forward to this season and here they are again! Montreal travels to Vancouver in what should be a great game. It is certainly a toss-up yet, MTL is projected to win 56.5% and to score 3.2 goals compared to the Canuks 3.0. Montreal has always been a nice filler stack around the higher end lines in the league.

St. Louis Blues 2

Jaden Schwartz L2 & PP2
Brayden Schenn L2 & PP1
Jordan Kyrou L2

The Blues host the San Jose Sharks tonight in another compelling match-up. I would’ve like to use STL1 tonight but the match-up with the high flying SJ1 scares me a tad. I would rather concentrate on STL2 vs the Sharks second line. St. Louis is projected to win 65.5% and score 3.2 goals.

The Edmonton Oilers travels to Toronto to square off with the Maple Leaf’s! It is no secret this is the best game to stack tonight. With an o/u at 6.5 goals EDM is projected to score 3.1 goals while TOR is projected at 3.5 goals. Much like the PIT/WSH game last night let us discuss full game combo stack!

EDM1/TOR2

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins L1 & PP1      Jimmy Vesey L2
Connor McDavid L1 & PP1              John Tavares L2 & PP2
Zack Kassian L1                               William Nylander L2 & PP2

TOR1/EDM2

Leon Draisaitl L2 & PP1                  Auston Matthews L1 & PP1
Dominik Kahun L2 & PP2               Joe Thornton L1 & PP1
Kailer Yamamoto L2                       Mitch Marner L1 & PP1

Last nights PIT/WSH full game stack paid off! It was a 5-4 final in OT with Pittsburgh coming out on top. I am fully expecting a 6-5 final tonight with at least six total goals. Toronto is projected to score 3.5 goals compared to 3.1 for the Oilers.

It is an exciting time friend! As the NHL season starts to heat up so will Hot Pucking stacks!

Here are some sample lines I am going to be using. Keep in mind these are for entertainment purposes only.
