DFS Tuesday: Rangers Riding Hot and Calgary’s New Lines

Brad Hayward

2022-11-01

Coming down from my sugar-high, as I had fewer trick-or-treaters than I'd bought candy for….   I think Tage Thompson probably understands this "high" after his 6-point, 9-shot night, eh? But getting down to business, I was looking at unsustainable numbers both for highs and lows, and drawing up potential stacks for fantasy plays tonight. With a nod to Rick Roos, and his Goldilocks comparisons on this site:

Too hotMika Zibanejad vs Philadelphia. In one of my leagues, Zibby ranks first overall thus far, Vincent Trocheck 7th, Artemi Panarin 13th, and Chris Kreider and Jacob Trouba join them in the top 50.   I'd say the party is likely to continue, as (equally too hot) Carter Hart comes back to earth.  

Too cold:  Calgary's top line. In the same league, Elias Lindholm, Jonathan Huberdeau, and Tyler Toffoli are all ranked below player #200, and will be broken up tonight against the Kraken, giving Nazem Kadri the top-line center position. Jacob Markstrom is the 17th-ranked goalkeeper! That won't last. Pick your own favorites here, but Calgary isn't an also-ran.

Just right: The raining-down of offensive barrage from the Florida Panthers, taking on the Coyotes in the cozy Mullett Arena. Expect 50 shots, with Sam Reinhart getting off the schneid and Matthew Tkachuk proving he's been worth the value he was traded for.  

My (DraftKings) lineup for tonight: G: Igor Shesterkin ($8300) now that Jacob Markstrom is confirmed not to start; FLA stack Tkachuk ($8000), Barkov ($6700), and Forsling ($5800); CGY stack Lindholm ($5300) and Huberdeau ($5300); and NYR affordable top-6 wings Alexis Lafreniere ($3300) and Kaapo Kakko ($3600), and I'm left with one defenseman… Nils Lundkvist ($3700) at home against the Kings on their B2B, and Miro Heiskanen still a game-time decision for tonight? It's what fits, anyway.  

Going back to my Hershey bars now.

Keeping Karlsson Short Shifts – The Wilkes-Jarry Penguins

Elizabeth and Lewis are back to take listeners through a host of power play changes that are giving managers the opportunity to get exposure to great players off the waiver wire, including Philly, Jersey, and Tampa talk. They also cover Jarry’s AHL demotion, Cooley’s ascension to the top-line and powerplay, and injuries to Tavares and Hintz. The duo wrap up with some hot and cold streak deep dives, including discussion of the Red Wings crazy powerplay success in the last ten games, whether Erik Gustafsson is rosterable or an overperforming illusion, Fantilli’s continued success, Merilainen as Hamburglar 2.0, and whether Schenn’s success and Neighbours’ lack thereof are likely to continue.
