This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 1/10 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
Colorado One – Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, Gabriel Landeskog
The chalk of the night, Colorado has the highest implied total at 3.56, edging the Carolina Hurricanes who are at 3.40. Talent-wise this is easily one of the top five lines in NHL. They were just reunited so there is not a very large sample size in terms of recent production. However, this line has always been at or near the top of any NHL metrics during virtually any stretch that they have been paired together over the last few years. Tristan Jarry has been pretty solid in net for Pittsburgh so this is more about the skill of the Colorado top line than about picking on the Penguins. If you don’t have all three, be sure to at minimum play Nathan MacKinnon as a one-off in all of your cash lines, if not almost all your tournament lineups as well. I like the other two more on DraftKings where they are super cheap.
Top Value Line
Carolina One – Andrei Svechnikov, Warren Foegele, Jordan Staal
It is likely that using Colorado One would price you out of simultaneously using the Carolina second line. Therefore, in order to access some of Carolina’s 3.40 implied total, we must turn to the first line. Unfortunately, Andrei Svechnikov is the only skater who has power play time on this line. However, that hasn’t stopped them from scoring eight full line goals over their last ten games, tying the Tampa Bay top line and Capitals second line for third in the NHL during that span. Considering their supporting stats during that timeline, the goal count could have been even more impressive. The top line’s 138 SATF within the period is second only to the Las Vegas second line’s 141. Arizona comes in on the second night of a back to back after getting smashed by the Lightning. Anti Raanta might be back in the net which would be a slight downgrade for this line but it shouldn’t take them out of the running on a three-game slate.
