Welcome to the Man Advantage for Monday, November 7, 2022. Tonight brings us a small, three game slate for NHL DFS with some interesting places to look. There are some pretty obvious plays tonight, so it feels like it is going to be a tough one. Make sure to keep it simple tonight, maybe play a little light, and have some fun. Good luck!
Goalies
Linus Ullmark – Boston Bruins: The Bruins host the Blues tonight, who have been pretty bad early on. The Blues have lost five straight coming into tonight, and it doesn’t get any easier having to face the Bruins. Ullmark has had his ups and downs, but tonight he feels like a safe play.
Stuart Skinner – Edmonton Oilers: The Oilers head to Washington tonight to face the depleted Capitals. Skinner has the best GAA on the slate tonight, at 1.84, and the Capitals will be without their top D man in Carlson. This feels like a pretty good spot for the Oilers.
High Risk Goalie Pick – Ilya Sorokin – New York Islanders: The Flames and Islanders game could see a bunch of scoring, which makes this play risky right off the bat. However, Sorokin has very good looking numbers of late, and he should see a decent amount of shots.
Lines to Build Around
These NHL DFS lines are considered top plays for the night and can be considered the focal point of your builds. They will be listed by position in the following order: Center/Winger/Winger/Correlating Defenseman (if applicable).
Edmonton Oilers Power Play – Connor McDavid/Leon Draisaitl/Evander Kane/Ryan Nugent-Hopkins/Tyson Barrie: As mentioned above, the Capitals are pretty depleted, having Carlson out on D, and potentially even Orlov. If that happens, you will want as much Edmonton as you can get. Mix and match with this unit, but prioritize McDavid and/or Draisaitl.
Boston Bruins Power Play – Patrice Bergeron/Brad Marchand/David Pastrnak/Jake Debrusk/Hampus Lindholm: The Bs appear to be in a very, very good spot tonight against the Blues, and it is a true coinflip for which of these top plays comes out as the best.
High Risk Lines
These are NHL DFS plays that carry significantly more risk, but could pay off at low ownership. They will be listed by position in the following order: Center/Winger/Winger/Correlating Defenseman (if applicable).
Boston Bruins 2 – David Krejci/David Pastrnak/Taylor Hall/Matt Grzelcyk: To get a little different, you can run this line out tonight. They are in a great spot at even strength, and all but Pasta correlate on the second power play unit.
Calgary Flames 2 – Nazem Kadri/Dillon Dube/Andrew Mangiapane/Noah Hanifin: This is another good even strength spot, and there should be some goals scored in this game. The top Calgary line can be considered, but this one is doing far more damage.
New York Islanders 3 – Jean-Gabriel Pageau/Kyler Palmieri/Zach Parise/Ryan Pulock: This third line should see the top Calgary line for a good portion of the night, putting them in a plus matchup. Palmieri has been kind of on a tear recently, so this look is very intriguing.
