This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 1/3 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 Line
Cash – Dallas One – Tyler Seguin, Jamie Benn, Alexander Radulov
Friday night, we have a fairly straightforward two-game slate where it will be no secret that the Dallas top line is major chalk. The Stars draw the best matchup in the NHL, at home against the Red Wings. So far, for most of the season Dallas has spread out it’s best players across all three lines. However, their top three skaters could not have been reunited at a better time. At the time of writing, the Stars are a -300 favorite, which is ridiculous by hockey standards. You should just eat this line in cash games and in tournaments look elsewhere if you want or try to combine them with something a little more off the board.
GPP – Carolina Two – Sebastian Aho, Teuvo Teravainen, Nino Niederreiter
If looking for a pivot off of the Dallas Stars top line or another line to try to squeeze in with them, look no further. I would expect the Carolina second line to come in behind Dallas One in terms of ownership, but they certainly have their fair share of upside as well. They have been rolling as of late and play host to a Washington team more known for their offense than defense. They are also extremely affordable, with only Sebastiano Aho’s FanDuel price over 7k.
