10/7 NHL DFS Centers
Braden Schenn (STL) – Schenn gives us some of the value we need if we are going to spend up for defense, which is my goal tonight. Schenn has one goal on five shots, and one block in his first two games. St. Louis has five goals through two games to start the season.
Jack Eichel (BUF) – The Sabres have the best goal differential in the NHL through their first two games (ten goals, three against). Eichel has one of those goals on seven shots and one assist. I love pairing Eichel with the rest of the Buffalo FL1 (Olofsson, Reinhart) as the Blue Jackets have been one of the worst teams in the league, allowing 11 goals against and a differential -8 through two games.
Punts -Auston Matthews (TOR), Marcus Johansson (BUF)
10/7 NHL DFS Wingers
Sam Reinhart (BUF) – I will look to complement Eichel with ice mate Sam Reinhart who has two goals on five shots and one assist. He ended his 2018 season with 22 goals, 43 assists, and 47 blocks.
Victor Olofsson (BUF) – Olofsson was promoted from AHL late last season and has not disappointed in his first appearances in 2019. He has two goals on six shots and one assist. He scored 63 points in 66 games in AHL action and the 7th round pick is primed to be a big part of this Sabres offense in 2019.
Punts – Andreas Johnsson (TOR), William Nylander (DET).
10/7 NHL DFS Defensemen
Rasmus Dahlin (BUF) – The Sabres collectively have looked like the best team on ice in their first two starts and Dahlin is a big part of it. He comes in at a fair salary and has three assists and one goal to back it. As stated earlier, Columbus has one of the worst scoring offenses to begin the season and Rasmus serves on their PK1 unit who has the 5th best penalty kill rate in the NHL.
Morgan Rielly (TOR) – Rielly has been fantastic through his first two starts, recording seven shots, five assists, and four blocks. His price is steadily rising but his pure ability on the ice gives him upside no other defender on the slate has.
HM: Colin Miller (BUF), Alex Pietrangelo (STL)
10/7 NHL DFS Goalies
Frederik Andersen (TOR) – There really is no “safe” goalie tonight but if I have to pick one it would be Frederik Andersen. He boasts a .927 SV% but faces a St. Louis offense that just hasn’t gotten things going. I like Andersen mostly for win upside.
Carter Hutton (BUF) – Same applies as with Andersen. Hutton carries a .939 SV% percentage and is backed by one of the better defenses in the league. He draws a matchup against a Blue Jackets team that has struggled to find the back of the net.
