1/28 NHL DFS – The Daily Hot Shot

This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 1/28 on DraftKings and FanDuel. Both sites have fairly different scoring formats, particularly with the recent changes on DraftKings. We consider tournament tactics, statistics, pricing, and attempt to tackle this highly variable Daily Fantasy format so we can gain an edge on the field at large. BE SURE to double-check both regular and power play lines at both morning skate and before lock as they can drastically change from the time of publication.

Top Expensive Line

Buffalo One – Jack Eichel, Sam Reinhart, Zemgus Girgensons

Buffalo will be huge chalk, as they are a -195 favorite with a very high 3.79 implied goal total. You will definitely want to have Jack Eichel in cash games and most tournaments. I guess the decision is who you want to add from there. Sam Reinhart would be the preferred pairing as both share power play time, with Zemgus Girgensons available for additional savings and full line correlation. I think Reinhart will be popular enough I will likely just pair him with Eichel given the short slate. Ottawa should be tired after a 4-3 overtime shootout loss to the Devils. The Sabres should be able to take advantage and get their second half started off on the right foot. Ottawa has been atrocious on the road this season and that trend should continue.

Top Value Line

St. Louis Two – David Perron, Ryan O’Reilly, Zach Sanford

The St. Louis Blues second line does not have phenomenal numbers by any means, but this is more of a gut call. They are simply too talented to not have some positive regression during the season’s second half. This game is a pick-em with a 2.75 implied goal total for each team, but if I had to flip a coin I would go with the visiting Blues. If you have a strong feeling regarding another one of the Blues lines go for it, as none jumps out as the clear leader of the pack right now. I do like this line though, especially with Zach Sanford heating up as of late.

Jack Eichel, Johnny Gaudreau, David Perron – Over 2.5 Points – The 2.5 point bet is down to 20/29 as Roman Josi and John Carlson were complete busts. We will get back at it tonight. This slate isn’t deep, but you can pick two solid options from what is there to go with Jack Eichel. In the alternative, you can also opt for Sam Reinhart but I decided to spread things out a bit more teamwise.
