1/9 NHL DFS – The Daily Hot Shot

This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 1/9 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 Three Lines

Boston One – Patrice Bergeron, David Pastrnak, Brad Marchand

Let’s start with a line that needs no introduction. Boston is a heavy -195 favorite and draws a nice matchup with the Winnipeg Jets. 2nd worst in the NHL in terms of goals allowed on the road over the last month, they will arrive in Boston on the second night of a back to back. Those skates may be a bit weary on defense and Boston will be able to pick out the best matchups for the top line to take advantage of. If you want to leave one off due to cost it is probably Brad Marchand. Marchand has an extremely high bust rate over the last few weeks.

Tampa Bay One – Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point, Steven Stamkos

Tampa Bay has found it’s groove while pairing it’s top three skaters for the first time this season. The Lightning come in a -200 home favorite with a 3.82 implied goal total. They are 8-1-1 over their last ten games and last time out put up a massive 9-2 win against the Vancouver Canucks. For as long as this line is together they will be skyrocketing towards the top of the ranks. Generally, the Arizona Coyotes are not a team that I look to target, but an exception can be made here.

Las Vegas Two – Paul Stastny, Mark Stone, Max Pacioretty

Speaking of teams that are hot, Las Vegas has been on fire as well, going 6-3-1 over their last ten games and putting up points. This team has two top ten lines during that span. The Las Vegas top line is a top ten line but this line is a top-three line with a massive gap in SATF “141 to 102”, although it only resulted in a two-goal difference during that span. Especially without Jonathan Marchessault, the first line is just not as good so keep an eye to see if he is back at morning skate if you were thinking of using them. The Kings will head to Vegas on the second night of a back to back and a rested Golden Knights team should be ready to smash. They are a slate high -250 favorite and their 3.74 implied total as of the time of writing is also a slate high.

Steven Stamkos, David Pastrnak, Artemi Panarin – Over 2.5 Points – The 2.5 point bet is down to a 12/16 hit rate no thanks to a John Tavares assist getting reversed for touching a Winnipeg stick. Strangely, the Las Vegas skaters are not included in the star shootout options. However, we can make do.
