Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot, where I’ll go through the top NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel.
It’s Saturday and that means we have plenty of games to navigate through. The NHL schedule makers have blessed us with a very manageable 9-game slate of NHL DFS. This slate packs a lot of punch. We have some teams in great spots and we also have some games that are going to be boring that we can cross of our list from the starts.
Let’s dig in and make some money!
NHL DFS Goalies
Alex Lyon vs. Ottawa Senators
Alex Lyon has been playing some great hockey of late. Over the last 3 weeks, Lyon has started 4 games for the Red Wings. In those 4 starts, he’s been exceptional. He’s posted a save % of .959, while allowing just 1.25 goals per game. He’s going to have his hands somewhat full tonight vs. an above-average Ottawa Senators offense.
That said, I like this spot for him and so does Vegas as the Red Wings are -130 favorites in this one. With a price tag of $7.8k, I’ll be all over Lyon in both GPP’s and Cash games. He has 4 straight games of at least 15 DK points. Look for him to make it 5 straight games as he continues to play stellar hockey this season.
Juuse Saros vs. Toronto Maple Leafs
The matchup isn’t the best for Juice tonight, but the price tag is and so is his play of late. At just $7.1k on DK tonight, we’re getting a goalie that is extremely inexpensive and one that is playing lights out right now. Apart from his 1 start vs. Minnesota at the end of November, Saros 7 games over 13 DK points in his last 8 games. He should face a barrage of shots tonight against a Leafs team that is taking around 30 shots on goal per game.
There is plenty of upside for Saros tonight at this price. Even if he lets in a couple of goals, it’s not going to kill us at this price point. He’s one of the best value goalies on this slate. With all that being said, he’s reserved strictly for GPP’s tonight.
Other goalies: Thatcher Demko and Cam Talbot
NHL DFS Stacks – Main
Detroit 1 (Dylan Larkin, Robby Fabbri, Lucas Raymond) vs. Ottawa Senators
This is an absolute smash spot for the Detroit Red Wings tonight. The Senators have been giving up around 3 goals per game over the last couple of weeks. In net for them tonight will be Joonas Korpisalo. Korpisalo has been statistically one of the worst goalies over the past few weeks. He’s only played 2 games over the last 3 weeks, but those 2 games have been awful. He’s allowed 9 goals over those 2 games with a save % of just .850. This is the type of goalie that we need to target when he’s in net.
This top line for Detroit is where most of the scoring comes from. Over their last 5 games, this trio has combined for 8 goals and 10 assists. That’s the type of production I love to see and he should really help us get to the top of the leaderboards with the matchup that they have. Outside of Larkin, this line is also very affordable.
Both Fabbri and Raymond are in the low $5k range this evening. They are also the most productive of the 3, making them my priority tonight. You can certainly add in Larkin, but Fabbri and Raymon are my core with this line. Expect this line to have a solid night against a Senators team that isn’t solid defensively right now.
Rangers 2 (Artemi Panarin, Vincent Trochek, Alexis Lafrenière) vs. Seattle Kraken
The New York Rangers head south tonight to take on the Capitals in the nation’s capital. This second unit for the New York Rangers has been a money maker for me this season as they’ve been one of the most productive lines in all of hockey on a consistent basis. They’ll get a strong matchup tonight vs. a Capitals team that has given up 3.50 goals per game over the last couple of weeks. They are also giving up well over 30 shots on goal per game.
Artemi Panarin is the star of the show with this line. He’s been solid all year and is on pace to have his first 100-point season of his career. He’s already up to 16 goals on the year and pacing to have his first 40-goal season of his career as well. The Breadman is so far making a strong case for the Hart Trophy.
Alongside him will be Trochek and Laf. Both guys are playing some amazing hockey and have reveled playing alongside Panarin. Look for this line to continue their torrid play in a great matchup vs. an aging Capitals team.
Other stacks I like tonight:
Buffalo 1 and 2 vs. Montreal
Montreal 1 vs. Buffalo
Toronto 1 vs. Nashville
LA 1 and 2 vs. Islanders
Blues 1 vs. Chicago
TB 1 and 2 vs. Seattle
Value D
Cam York – $4.2k
Mikhail Sergachev – $4.7k
Alexander Romanov – $3.7k
Colton Parayko – $4.3k
Ben Chiarot – $3.3k
Mattias Samuelsson – $3.2k
NHL DFS Summary
We have a solid slate tonight. I didn’t mention them in my top stacks, but I love this spot for Los Angeles tonight. Especially the second line of Danault, Fiala, and Moore.
