Here are the top stacking options for Tuesday, January 5:
C Claude Giroux and W Jakub Voracek, Flyers (vs. Canadiens)
Giroux and Voracek were reunited for the Flyers' most recent game. Though Giroux was held off the score sheet, Voracek registered an assist and the duo combined for 11 shots on goal. The Flyers top-line trio is rounded out with W Wayne Simmonds, who may be a more affordable option to combine with either of these two players.
G Ben Scrivens allowed three goals on 30 shots in his Canadiens debut - not exactly a surprising result for a goalie who was previously the No. 3 netminder on the Edmonton Oilers' depth chart.
C Jack Eichel and W Zemgus Girgensons, Sabres (vs. Panthers)
Eichel is on an offensive surge with four goals and nine points in his past five games played. He's up to 13 goals and 25 points in the first 39 games of his NHL career. He's done it mostly on his own, but Girgensons has been his most common linemate over the stretch, and he offers even more cap relief.
The Panthers have won an impressive nine games in a row, but all good things must come to an end. Since the beginning of their winning streak, the Panthers have a league-average CF% of just 49.8, but a league-leading PDO of 106.5.
C Mikko Koivu and W Thomas Vanek, Wild (at Blue Jackets)
Koivu has two goals and an assist in his past four games, with seven shots on goal. Vanek has one goal and 10 SOG in the same time. Both options are considerably cheaper than W Zach Parise, and provide twice the opportunity for production.
Though the Wild have been struggling mightily on offense of late, they face the perfect slumpbuster in the Blue Jackets and little-known goalie Anton Forsberg. The Wild's offensive players are becoming contrarian options but their respective price tags are becoming more and more appealing.
