1/22 NHL DFS – The Daily Hot Shot

This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 1/22 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

Columbus Two – Gustav Nyquist, Alexander Wennberg, Cam Atkinson

Winnipeg comes in on the back end of a road back to back and Columbus will have an opportunity to add more points before the break-in what has already been an unexpectedly decent season for them. The Jets are still giving up tons of goals as illustrated in last night’s loss to the Hurricanes. It turns out the Jets saved the awful Laurent Brossoit with his 3.67 GAA/.855 SV% for tonight’s game, after using Connor Hellebuyck last night. Not surprisingly, Columbus goalie Elvis Merzlikins will be the most popular goalie on the slate by contrast. None of the other three options are very appealing as their numbers are all very weak, to put it nicely.

Top Value Line

Minnesota Three – Marcus Foligno, Joel Eriksson Ek, Luke Kunin

No ordinary third line, the Minnesota Wild’s has been a top ten line over their last ten games by most standards. The Wild get one of the best matchups that anyone could ask for, against the Detroit Red Wings, at home. On DraftKings, they are priced a little bit over what you would normally expect from a third line but are still cheap in the grand scheme of things. On Fanduel, where they cost even less, they are an absolute steal. The Minnesota third line has eight full line goals over their last ten games, and while I would not expect that pace to continue, it may persist a while longer on the basis of this juicy matchup.
