Penguins Offensive Outlook

2016-17 5v5 (adj): 58.61 CF/60 | 57.06 CA/60 | 2.6 xGF/60 | 2.38 xGA/60

The Penguins will have a quick turnaround, heading to Chicago after raising the banner against the St. Louis Blues last night. Shying away from — or picking — teams that are playing back-to-back is generally overrated. Especially this early in the year, we don’t need to downgrade the Pens. In fact, this matchup should be better than last nights.

We know that the Penguins offense is one of the best at driving play, and their top six is loaded with firepower. A healthy Kris Letang enhances last year’s figures (above).

The Blackhawks present a mostly favorable matchup for Pittsburgh’s top six. Chicago was prone to allowing a fair amount of high-danger shot attempts at 5v5 last year, though their overall shot attempt volume allowed wasn’t egregious. They had the 11th highest xGA/60. From a personnel standpoint, the loss the Niklas Hjalmarsson and the aging out of key personnel entrusted with heavy minutes and key usage figures to lead to degradation of their metrics.

This all sets up well for the top six of the Penguins tonight. We’ll want to look at players that play together at both 5v5 and on the top power play unit, as the Blackhawks penalty kill struggled last year (which we’ll get to below). Jonathan Toews and Sidney Crosby could see time against each other at 5v5, but Toews isn’t the shutdown center of yesteryear.

The matchup will benefit Evgeni Malkin and the second line. This line figures to be out against Patrick Kane and Chicago’s top scoring line, which will mean high-event, back-and-forth play. Bryan Rust should continue to hold a spot on this line with Patric Hornqvist out again. Rust’s low cost make him a viable stacking option, although he doesn’t carry any standalone value and he isn’t a key part of the stack by any means.

Penguins Special Teams Outlook
We looked at how strong Pittsburgh’s power play was last season in last night’s Grind Down. Tonight they have a mouthwatering matchup against a poor Chicago penalty kill from last year. Like the Hawks’ 5v5 defense, there figures to be some regression from their already poor numbers on the penalty kill.
Chicago’s xGA/60 while short-handed last year was ninth worst in the league. Nicklas Hjalmarsson was a fixture on the PK, too, so his absence will be felt outside of in 5v5 situations. Fire up the Penguins power play stacks.
Penguins Goaltending Outlook
With Matt Murray playing at home last night, Antti Niemi will protect the crease tonight for Pittsburgh. Niemi returns to his old stomping grounds an aging veteran that is coming off two rough seasons in Dallas.

Pittsburgh had the league’s fourth highest xGA/60 last year. With questions remaining in the defensive group, Niemi cannot be trusted in any format. Chicago’s offense will still feature two strong scoring lines, and the third line could give Pittsburgh’s depth problems tonight. In what should be a high-event, fast paced game, look elsewhere in net.

Blackhawks Offensive Outlook

2016-17 5v5 (adj): 56 CF/60 | 54.12 CA/60 | 2.15 xGF/60 | 2.22 xGA/60

It should be a high-event game in Chicago tonight. The Blackhawks will take on a Penguins team that had the fourth highest xGA/60 at 5v5 last year. The team gets Kris Letang back healthy but otherwise did not add any impact defensemen on the blueline. Pittsburgh’s high pace of play is conducive to the scoring lines of Chicago. Further, the Hawks will avoid Matt Murray in net tonight. The Penguins were among the top ten most generous teams in all of shot attempts allowed, scoring chances allowed, high-danger shots allowed, and xGA/60 at 5v5 last year.

From an offensive standpoint, the Blackhawks are pretty similar to last year overall but there are some dynamic changes within the ranks. The team swapped out Artemi Panarin to bring back Brandon Saad. Saad is getting a bit overlooked in the deal because of Panarin’s chemistry with Patrick Kane. Though Saad is likely to play next to Jonathan Toews, he remains a solid shot generator that plays outstanding hockey at 5v5. While the top line is likely to play against Sidney Crosby, that could impact Toews moreso than his wingers. Toews retains a bit of name brand premium, so fading him is worthwhile, but Saad and Richard Panik should have no problems generating shot attempts. Panik was a strong shot generator last season and he should mesh well with Saad.

Patrick Kane will now play with Nick Schmaltz at center with Artem Anisimov on the third line. Ryan Hartman looks to be getting a crack as the left winger on the second line.

With Kane avoiding Sidney Crosby tonight, he’s his usual high-floor, high shot volume self. He should be able to find the soft spots in Pittsburgh’s defense. He’s fine as a one-off, of course, but his linemates are cheap and make a line stack quite affordable. Schmaltz is a young player without much of a track record in the NHL, but he saw some time with Kane last year and he played well. Hartman may be one of my favorite value plays for tournaments tonight, if he sticks on the second line of course. Hartman actually led the Blackhawks in 5v5 iCF/60 last year, posting a better individual rate than Kane.

In deep GPP’s a fun pairing would be Alex DeBrincat and Patrick Sharp. Artem Anisimov doesn’t have much of a floor and his low shot volume lowers his ceiling. DeBrincat is a wild card, but he’s coming in with a pedigree. This line figures to work against Pittsburgh’s bottom six, which is woefully short on depth. Patrick Sharp is not the scorer he once was, but he nevertheless pumped over three shots on goal per game last season.

Familiar faces Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook remain the main players on the Chicago blueline. Though the duo is getting up in age, they paid the fantasy bills last year. Keith posted the third highest point total of his career last year, while Seabrook had some poor shooting luck that should rebound (2.3% shooting rate). Both guys will grant exposure to the Chicago top six, though they figure to struggle against Pittsburgh’s top two lines. Seabrook’s shot generation rate also dipped a fair amount last year. Keith is the better play of the two of them.

Michal Kempny actually led the Blackhawks in CF% last season, and he was on the ice for a good deal of offense as reflected in his SCF/60 and CF/60 numbers. Individually he had the best iCF/60 among Chicago defensemen, albeit in fewer games against weaker competition. He could get a longer leash with Chicago’s blueline vacancies from last year, so he’s a name to file away for punt purposes.

Blackhawks Special Teams Outlook
Chicago’s power play was surprisingly poor last season, finishing seventh from the bottom in terms of xGF on the power play. The team seemed reluctant to pull the trigger as their shot attempts for were lagging. Perhaps part of the problem with converting on the advantage is the fact that defensemen were taking too many shots from low-danger areas. Both Brent Seabrook and Duncan Keith were among the leaders on the team in iCF/60 on the power play.

Tonight’s power play matchup is strong, however, as the Penguins penalty kill was far below average last year. In fact, only the Buffalo Sabres were expected to allow more goals than Pittsburgh while short-handed.

We’ll need to see how the power play assignments shake out, but it looks like Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Brandon Saad, Patrick Sharp, and Duncan Keith will man the top unit. The second group will feature Nick Schmaltz, Artem Anisimov, Richard Panik, Brent Seabrook, and perhaps Connor Murphy. The top unit is the one to target, clearly.

Kane grabs the lion’s share of shot volume on the advantage with Keith a focal point as well (perhaps to the unit’s detriment). Given Pittsburgh’s issues on the penalty kill and the fact that Antti Niemi will be in net, this is a great spot to target Chicago’s power play.

Blackhawks Goaltending Outlook
Corey Crawford doesn’t get a ton of respect, but he’s been a strong 5v5 netminder and is more than just a product of a system or good team.

Unfortunately, Crawford will have his work cut out for him tonight and this season. The Hawks lost both Nicklas Hjalmarsson and Brian Campbell while Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook increase their mileage.

Pittsburgh will return mostly the same lineup as last year plus a healthy Kris Letang. This group had the best 5v5 xGF/60 last year. The top six is lethal and the power play will certainly challenge Chicago’s weak penalty kill. Tonight is not a night to look to Crawford.

Coyotes Offensive Outlook

2016-17 5v5 (adj): 50.3 CF/60 | 63.57 CA/60 | 1.87 xGF/60 | 2.53 xGA/60

Let’s have a Coyote sandwich.

Arizona, you have some great weather out there while most of the hockey-loving populace is stuck in the death grip of winter.

Last year, Arizona, your 5v5 offensive numbers were completely abysmal. They couldn’t have been much worse, as they ranked near the bottom of the league in virtually all offensive metrics. This was a very poor unit.

Coyotes, you have some young talent on the roster and things may get better soon!

The old HR exercise is helpful for teams that have more negative about them than positive. Arizona is rebuilding, and their offense was quite poor last year. Their best forward, Radim Vrbata, is gone. Since everyone likes Harry Potter, think of the phoenix — up from the ashes comes some good. The Coyotes will enter 2017-18 with some highly regarded young prospects cutting their teeth against NHL competition.

Tonight’s matchup isn’t as bad as it could be. The Ducks will be without Ryan Kesler up the middle of the ice and Hampus Lindholm and Sami Vatanen on the blueline. Lindholm in particular is a huge boost. Ryan Getzlaf also figures to be at less than 100% health.

Anaheim finished with the eighth lowest xGA/60 at 5v5. They did have some an elevated high-danger shot attempts allowed as well as scoring chances allowed. Without Lindholm and Kesler, the defense figures to be a little more vulnerable than usual. Kesler isn’t the two way center he once was, but he is certainly still useful. He typically deployed against opposing top lines.

Arizona’s top line will feature newly acquired Derek Stepan, a competent top six center, with solid youngster Max Domi and blue chipper Clayton Keller. On FanDuel, this line can be stacked for just over $13k (24% of cap). A full stack is inadvisable as it is still a tough spot on the road, but this line will be a fun contrarian play in short order.

Any Coyotes beyond the top line become extremely risky and inadvisable. Dylan Strome and Tobias Rieder could form an interesting duo but they might take a bit of time to develop. The Ducks aren’t a favorable matchup for secondary scorers on one of the league’s worst offenses last year. This is mostly an exercise in identification.

Oliver Ekman-Larsson doesn’t seem to be 100% (knee) but will suit up for tonight. He’s a key component in the Arizona offensive engine (he’s a long block). At less than full health, on the road, and in a tough matchup, there are better options to consider on the blueline in his price range. Jason Demers came to the desert from Florida, and while his price is nice and Demers is a strong possession player, his team context sinks a bit of his upside.

Coyotes Special Teams Outlook
Arizona’s power play was not a very successful unit last year — big shock, right? They finished third from last in terms of expected goals on the power play. They did not generate a high-volume of shot attempts.

For what it’s worth, the Ducks did not have a spectacular penalty kill. They were somewhat porous in the dangerous areas, finishing with the second worst short-handed HDCA/60 rate. They also used Hampus Lindholm a fair amount on the penalty kill last year.

Derek Stepan and Max Domi will stick together on the top unit, enhancing their combined appeal. They’ll be joined by Anthony Duclair up front, who is coming off a forgettable season. The Coyotes look to be running a two defensemen system, unfortunately, with Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Alex Goligoski on the blueline.

The second unit has upside based on the talent level of its members, but ice time may be an issue in fulfilling potential. Clayton Keller, Tobias Rieder, and Dylan Strome along with Christian Dvorak and Jason Demers could actually be a decent unit.

Coyotes Goaltending Outlook
With Mike Smith north to the Calgary Flames, the Coyotes will move in net. They picked up former New York Rangers goalie Antti Raanta in a trade over the summer, and he figures to get first crack at the starting job. He posted strong numbers backing up Henrik Lundqvist last year.

As bad as playing behind Dan Girardi must have felt, things are going to get worse. Though the Coyotes improved their blueline substantially with the additions of Nicklas Hjalmarsson and Jason Demers, they’re starting their upward trend from quite a low point.

Last year the Coyotes led the league in xGA/60 at 5v5. They hemorrhaged shot attempts, scoring chances, and high-danger shot attempts. Their penalty kill was among the worst in the league, though they finished two spots behind the second ranked Ducks in high-danger shot attempts allowed while shorthanded.

Anaheim’s offense, especially on home ice, can be quite dangerous. The team finished with the 11th best 5v5 xGF/60, and they have enough firepower to scheme around Hjalmarsson and exploit the remaining weaknesses in Arizona’s roster. On home ice last year, no team had more high-danger shot attempts than the Ducks did.

While Raanta will definitely be a fun tournmanent value play this year, I think he — like the rest of the Coyotes — will need some time to “gel” and the matchup to be right.

Ducks Offensive Outlook

2016-17 5v5 (adj): 54.55 CF/60 | 54.19 CA/60 | 2.24 xGF/60 | 2.06 xGA/60

The Ducks finished last year slightly above average in expected 5v5 goals. They were quite dangerous on home ice, finishing with the most high-danger shot attempts of teams playing on their home ice. They will be without the services of Ryan Kesler and Patrick Eaves tonight, but the matchup is strong enough where the offense should be able to overcome the losses.

With Anaheim better able to dictate the on-ice matchups, the top line of Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf, and Nick Ritchie will be kept away from Nicklas Hjalmarsson. Getzlaf is a bit more set up man than shooter at this point, as his iCF/60 isn’t overly impressive (9.72). Note that Getzlaf isn’t a sure bet to play tonight as he is dealing with an injury, although he practiced yesterday. Assuming he’s in, he’ll look to feed Corey Perry on his Make Scorey Perry Great Again tour. Perry scored on just 8.8% of his shots that reached the net last year, a substantial decline from his normal shooting rate. While the two longtime building blocks of the franchise remain viable tonight, there are some newer year models in the garage that may be the better play.

Jakob Silfverberg is probably never going to have that monster breakout season at this point as he’s now 26. That doesn’t mean he’s a poor player by any means, as he’s scored 20+ goals in back to back years. He led the Ducks in iCF/60 at 5v5 last year (outside of Patrick Eaves, who played in 20 games for Anaheim) and will put close to three shots on goal per game. He makes a fantastic partner with Rickard Rakell, a 33 goal scorer from last year. While Rakell benefited from an explosion in shooting percentage (18.6%), he’s a strong player and should do some damage with Silfverberg. If Getzlaf can’t play, Rakell could get bumped up to the top line. Rakell would still play with Corey Perry in that instance, but it would be a bummer for Silfverberg’s value.

Cam Fowler soaks up most of the 5v5 puck movement from the blueline, especially with Sami Vatanen and, to a lesser extent, Hampus Lindholm out. Fowler’s underlying numbers aren’t great, but he’s got the role and he’s good enough to be able to take advantage. He’s a strong pairing with the top line, as he was often out on the ice with the Getzlaf line last year.

Brandon Montour flashed offensive ability last season is and is a sure bet to be a strong value play with the injuries to Anaheim’s blueline. His price is quite reasonable, and with him likely to be on the ice with the second line (Rakell/Silfverberg) he opens up the door to a low owned, high upside stack in an A+ matchup.

Ducks Special Teams Outlook
These two teams were on the opposite end of the galaxy last year when looking at Anaheim’s power play versus Arizona’s penalty kill. The Ducks had the second highest expected goal rate while the Coyotes had the highest expected goals allowed while shorthanded. Anaheim should be able to generate a copious amount of scoring chances on the advantage. Arizona averaged a tick over five minutes per game shorthanded, which was about league average.

Of course, it’s never really that cut and dry, is it? We’ll need to account for Arizona’s addition of Nicklas Hjalmarsson. He is a strong defensive defenseman and he played a large penalty kill role for the Blackhawks last year. He should see penalty kill time, which would help the Coyotes to improve their pitiful numbers. Jason Demers is another new face that should help the ‘Yotes improve their success when down a man. Still, the Ducks shouldn’t be dinged too badly.

The top unit of Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry, Nick Ritchie, Jakob Silfverberg, and Cam Fowler should get the longest run when the Ducks go up a man. Note that Getzlaf, Perry, and Ritchie play on the top line together at 5v5, and Fowler should be on the ice with that trio. Sadly Silfverberg is split from Rickard Rakell. Anaheim fed their defensemen to shoot in this system, as Fowler paved the way in iCF/60 for the unit.

Brandon Montour actually had the highest iCF/60 on the power play for Anaheim last year. He’ll quarterback the second unit, which features Rakell as well. Sadly this group also has the likes of Francois Beauchemin, Ondrej Kase, and Antoine Vermette so there isn’t a ton of upside here. Rakell and Montour are the pair to go with.

Ducks Goaltending Outlook
Though the Coyotes have plenty of young talent in the ranks, the group is pretty raw overall and figure to struggle tonight. The Ducks playing without key personnel is concerning, but the Arizona offense lacks the high-end options to really take advantage of the absences.

Anaheim posted the eighth lowest xGA/60 at 5v5 last year, though they had some luck working in their favor on the penalty kill. John Gibson is coming off a season in which he posted an all situations save percentage of .924. He was strong for Anaheim last year and should get the offense needed to pick up the win.

Flyers Offensive Outlook

2016-17 5v5 (adj): 57.09 CF/60 | 55.44 CA/60 | 2.07 xGF/60 | 2.14 xGA/60

Fresh off a beatdown of the San Jose Sharks last night, the Flyers are right back on the ice as they swing through California tonight. Though they came through in a moderately difficult matchup last night, things could be tougher tonight. The Kings finished last year tied with Boston for third lowest xGA/60 at 5v5. The team is not very giving in scoring chances and high-danger shot to opposing offenses. It’s not an unfamiliar sight to see low scoring games in Los Angeles. The Kings had a major overhaul of their coaching department last year. While there has been talk of LA opening up the system and playing more up-tempo, we should still treat the Kings as a defensive minded black hole matchup for the time being.

The line of Sean Couturier, Claude Giroux, and Jakob Voracek figures to draw the most attention from Los Angeles. Anze Kopitar remains a tough center to play against, so while this line looked good last night, we should temper expectations.

Wayne Simmonds is coming off a fantastic start his season, scoring three times in San Jose last night. He formed a solid bond with youngsters Jordan Weal and Nolan Patrick. This line looks like it will do some damage this year as the veteran bruiser Simmonds can create space for the younger guys to work. Tonight they’ll likely be out against Drew Doughty and the Kings’ top defensive pairing, as well as a smattering of the Jeff Carter line. We shouldn’t chase last night’s points in a tough matchup, though Weal and Patrick are awfully cheap. If Kings defender Alec Martinez misses the game, the 5v5 matchup softens up a bit for this line.

Shayne Gostisbehere was healthy enough to lace them up last night and promptly picked up three apples (all on the power play). Gostisbehere is tempting at his price on both FD and DK given his role on the team, but the matchup leaves plenty to be desired. Ivan Provorov logged an impressive 25 minutes of ice time night. He’ll accumulate shots and blocks but finding the scoresheet might need to wait another game.

Flyers Special Teams Outlook
Philadelphia’s power play looked fantastic against San Jose’s middle of the road penalty kill last night. We mentioned last night that this unit had one of the highest expected production rates last year, so we should continue to treat this unit as a top-shelf group for the time being.

Tonight’s matchup will be a real test for them, however, as the Kings had the lowest expected goals rate while short-handed last season. Los Angeles will be returning most of their key penalty kill personnel, though there could be some system changes due to the change in coaching staff.

Flyers Goaltending Outlook
Michal Neuvirth will make his season debut with Brian Elliott playing last night against the Sharks. Neuvirth is coming off a terrible season with the Flyers, as he posted an .891 all situation save percentage one year after posting a .924. He should play at a rate between those two numbers, nudging closer to the higher end. Neuvirth has been battling an illness, but he looks ready to go tonight.

While the Kings dominate possession, they’ve annually failed to capitalize on their play and regularly fall short of their expected goal totals. The system is in place but the personnel is often lacking. Neuvirth should see a good shots, but outside of one dangerous line (and Anze Kopitar). Neuvirth’s price is depressed, and with Philadelphia’s defense on the upswing while LA’s offense is questionable, there is GPP appeal here.

Kings Offensive Outlook

2016-17 5v5 (adj): 59.02 CF/60 | 49.7 CA/60 | 2.24 xGF/60 | 1.9 xGA/60

Year after year we see the Kings at the top of the list with regards to CF%, but their offense never blows anyone away. Last year they underachieved their xGF/60 by 21%. Their expected goals rate was 12th highest in the league. The problem is that the system creates chances that are going to the likes of Dustin Brown, Deveon Setoguchi, and a weak bottom six.

Philadelphia has an up-and-coming defense. They posted a respectable xGA/60 last year, and defensively the group limited shot attempts to lower and medium danger types.

The line we care most about for DFS purposes is colloquially referred to as “That 70’s Line.” Jeff Carter, Tanner Pearson, and Tyler Toffoli are a power line that make for excellent stacks most games. The three can all score and the system has put them on the path to succeed. Carter and Toffoli carry the higher floors. This trio make for a secondary stack in tournaments, but they are attached to plenty of risk tonight. The Flyers play a tight system and this game figures to be low scoring. Their best bet for production will be if Michal Neuvirth continues to struggle.

Anze Kopitar remains a strong two-way center. He often takes on the most difficult assignments from the opposition forward group. Tonight that will likely put him out against Claude Giroux, Sean Couturier, and Jakub Voracek. It’s a pretty tough draw with Couturier on this line now, as Couturier plays a strong defensive game himself. With Kopitar’s offensive production down last year and his linemates questionable — he could start with Dustin Brown and NCAA rookie Alex Iaffalo — Kopitar will be limited to power play value. Given Philadelphia’s strong penalty kill, Kopitar isn’t a great option tonight.

The Kings have a few defensemen that we look to for DFS. Drew Doughty is the big name and carries the biggest cap hit, but Alec Martinez and Jake Muzzin are typically a good bang for the buck blueline play. Martinez and Muzzin skate together on the second pair, so all three will be out with LA’s top six forward group. Their values are intrinsically tied, and with this likely to be a lower scoring, lower pace game, the group’s upside is dampened some.

Kings Special Teams Outlook
Los Angeles doesn’t draw a great special teams matchup. The Flyers trailed only the Kings for lowest xGA/60. LA was middle of the pack in generating scoring chances on the power play last year; their xGF/60 on the advantage was right in the middle of the field.

Jeff Carter, Tyler Toffoli, and Tanner Pearson should stick together on the top unit. They’ll be joined by Anze Kopitar, which is a huge boost, and Drew Doughty on the blueline. If you’re going to stack the 70’s line, then you get the added bonus of the power play correlation. In a tough matchup, however, they aren’t worth chasing for their special teams outlook.

Kings Goaltending Outlook
Jonathan Quick will return to the cage for the Kings after an injury shortened 2016-17. Quick is generally overrated playing behind a strong system/defense, but you can’t knock his consistency. Including last year, Quick’s save percentages beginning in 2013 are .915, .918, .918, and .917. For DFS purposes we’ve often run in to the issue of Quick facing a low volume of shots, which gives him a lower than preferred floor as he doesn’t aggregate points from a high volume of saves.
