This article focuses on 5/30 NHL Picks for both DraftKings and FanDuel Sportsbooks and FanDuel and DraftKings Daily Fantasy. We analyze tournament tactics, statistics, pricing, and attempt to tackle this highly variable Daily Fantasy format so that we can gain an edge on the field at large.

Sunday 5/30 NHL Slate and DFS Gameplan
Welcome back to the Hot Shot!
There are only two games on today’s slate so I would focus on correlation as much as possible. We have no need to be scattered with so few options available.
Notable Goal Scoring Odds
Note: All odds are listed +300 or below. All odds are taken from DraftKings Sportsbook, as of the time of writing.
Main Slate – Games in Time Order
Tampa Bay Lightning (-108) at Carolina Hurricanes (-108) – 5.5 Projected Goal Total – Sebastian Aho (+143), Nikita Kucherov (+163), Brayden Point (+185), Steven Stamkos (+185), Alex Killorn (+195), Andrei Svechnikov, Vincent Trocheck (+205), Ondrej Palát (+205), Andrei Svechnikov (+215), Martin Necas (+225), Jordan Staal (+225), Teuvo Teräväinen (+240), Nino Niederreiter (+250), Anthony Cirelli (+270), Yanni Gourde (+270), Brock McGinn (+300)
Carolina was able to grab an overtime winner against Nashville in their prior series, sparing them from a game seven. They will play host game one of this series to the defending champion Lightning.
Las Vegas Golden Knights (+160) at Colorado Avalanche (-186) – 5.5 Projected Goal Total – Nathan MacKinnon (+105), Mikko Rantanen (+123), Gabriel Landeskog (+180), Max Pacioretty (+195), Joonas Donskoi (+210), Mark Stone (+210), Andre Burakovsky (+255), Brandon Saad (+270), Jonathan Marchessault (+275), Alex Tuch (+275), JT Compher (+290), William Karlsson (+290)
The Golden Knights exploded for a 6-2 win Friday night to take the seventh game of their first-round series against the Wild. However, now things certainly don’t get any easier as they head on the road to face a powerhouse in Colorado.
