Niklas Backstrom Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

These two teams have met twice over the past few weeks that had seen Tampa take both games by a cumulative score of 11-7. The myth is always that if two good teams go head-to-head then it will be a low scoring game. While that may be the case in some instances it is not in this one as both sides have plenty of firepower. Alexander Ovechkin and Nikita Kucherov are the first players to jump off of the page as both have had phenomenal years in terms of production. You could pair Nicklas Backstrom with Ovechkin or Brayden Point with Kucherov if you want a lot of exposure to this game. If you just want to garb a one-off then Steven Stamkos is your guys as he skates on the team’s second line and joins the top line when the team has the man advantage. Over the past nine games Stamkos has lit the lamp seven times to go along with another seven assists. All that has done is add to his seasonal totals of 52 assists and a team leading 41 goals. This would give you more than enough of a reason to put Stamkos in your line-up this evening.
