1/18 NHL DFS – The Daily Hot Shot

This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 1/18 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

Florida One – Aleksander Barkov, Evgeni Dadonov, Jonathan Huberdeau

Detroit played all the way into overtime late last night against Pittsburgh. Now they will look to put up a similarly tough performance against the visiting Florida Panthers. However, the fresher Panthers should be able to smash and take advantage of Detroit’s league-leading goals allowed. I like both lines here, as the second line almost always gets a mention in these sorts of spots. That said, with the prices as fair as they are on both sites, we might as well use the star-studded top line of Aleksander Barkov, Evgeni Dadonov, and Jonathan Huberdeau. Florida’s 3.86 implied goals total and status as a -210 favorite are both slate highs.

Top Value Line

Florida Two – Vincent Trocheck, Noel Acciari, Brett Connolly

I just ultimately couldn’t write another value-line over them and the ideal strategy is to make two lines, using one each of Florida’s two lines. If I were to leave one of the three skaters off, it would be Brett Connolly. This line still has nine full line goals over their last ten games and some monster supporting stats. As much as I don’t want to bring them up, it is hard to avoid with a matchup like the one that the Detroit Red Wings present.
