NHL Puck Drop 2/13

NHL Puck Drop
Saturday February 13, 2021 – 7pm Main Slate

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.

A few thoughts
Man, I love this Boston/Islander game. The Isle have been coming on lately and Boston is struggling to get scoring from lines 2 and 3. I am going to be stacking NYI line 2 and BOS PP1. I expect this game to be a 4-3 thriller.
Everyone will be on Toronto/Montreal. Great for cash but I am fading in GPP. This will be a shootout with 2 strong offenses (and weak defenses) going H2H.
I will be playing a lot of Nashville against the Dead Things. Especially NSH Line 2.

BOS/NYI – Over 5
VAN +118

Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught 3-of-6 targets for 32 yards in the Seahawks' week 17 win over the Bears.
Sure the weather was bad and it was on short rest, but this was still a very disappointing game from the man they call JSN. Outside of some middle screens, he was a complete non-factor as neither Seattle or Chicago felt like playing a football game that accurately represented offensive competency. It's the first time Smith-Njigba has gone under 50 yards since Week 7 against the Falcons, and it's beyond reasonable to expect a much better effort in Week 18 against the Rams.

Keenan Allen caught 5-of-9 targets for 25 yards in the Bears' Week 17 loss to the Seahawks.
Allen had the most targets of any Chicago receiver, but came nowhere near his 9/141/1 game against the Lions. Tough to come close to that receiving yardage when your team only throws for 122 yards, to be fair. Fantasy managers can at least take a smidgen of solace in five receptions, but obviously this isn't what anyone had in mind. Allen will finish his first year with the Bears in a meaningless Week 18 contest against the Packers.
