Happy Halloween! October 31 is a huge date as a kid, and it even holds significance as a young adult for the costume parties if nothing else. As you get older, though, it’s worse than most days because people are running all over the place and ruining your peace and quiet.
Before I start yelling about my yard, let’s look at six NHL teams with good (or decent) matchups on Thursday and the players on those teams who are most involved. I try to not list injured players, but always check the actives/inactives before game time to be sure everyone in your lineup is playing.
Not everyone listed below will be available, but it’s good to compare usage across the same team. All team and individual stats are from NHL.com.
We’ll start with a game where we can target both teams. The Blues are a decent matchup across the board, ranking eighth in most shots allowed per game and 13th in most goals allowed.
The Flyers are a little trickier proposition: They have allowed the third-most goals per game but only the 24th-most shots per game. Goals are better than shots, so I’ll take the opportunity to target Philadelphia as well.
Pittsburgh is a friend of the article, meaning they show up often; that’s not a good thing for the Penguins. They rank at the top of the league in both most shots allowed and goals allowed per game. There’s not a better matchup right now.
Montreal is just a little bit better version of Pittsburgh. The Canadiens have given up the fifth-most shots per game and fourth-most goals per game in this young season.
These two teams are both middling options but have a positive profile: They allow goals but not a lot of shots. Goals are better than shots, so hey, we’ll take it!
Edmonton has allowed the seventh-most goals per game and 29th-most shots per game. Nashville is 10th in goals and 23rd in shots allowed. Neither is a great matchup, but you could do worse.
