NHL Puck Drop

By Brewery Mark

COVID Update:
The NHL has postponed all Carolina Hurricane games through Jan 23.
Many Washington Capitals players have been placed on the covid list including Alex Ovechkin.

NHL Puck Drop will be a quick list of my favorite players, line stacks and bets for single day NHL slates. This will be updated as news is released.

I mostly play cash games (Double-ups and 50/50). I use the stacks for GPPs, mostly single entry tournaments..

Players are typically in order of price on DK. Stacks are single team stacks. One strategy is to “run back” a player from the opposing team, if you think the game will be a shootout.

Betting is Moneyline unless otherwise noted.

Feel free to send me question on Twitter: @brewerymark @draught4upside

Initial Thoughts
Stack Montreal/Vancouver and Ottawa/Winnipeg.
St Louis should easily handle LA
You have to play Tyler Toffoli. He is too cheap for the massive production he is having right now. I dud game is coming but I will play him anyway.

Mike Reilly – OTT
Justin Faulk – STL
Ben Chariot – MON

C.J. Stroud Finishes 2024 Outside Top 24 Fantasy QBs

Stroud threw for just 185 yards, 0 TDs, and 1 INT on 17-of-31 passing (5.97 yards per attempt). Barring a monumental QB collapse through the rest of Week 17, it'll mark Stroud's ninth weekly fantasy finish of 18th or lower this season. He sits outside the top 24 in fantasy points per game for the season.
