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.

Carey Price – MON

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

Centers

Bills coach Sean McDermott said Ray Davis remains in concussion protocol on Friday.
We'll see if the team gives Davis additional time to clear protocol, but it's not a great sign for the rookie's availability as far as Sunday's game against the Ravens is concerned. If the Bills don't rule out Davis on Friday when they release their final injury report, they'll presumably give him until Saturday to clear protocol before deciding on his availability. We'll know more on this soon.
