1/11 NHL DFS – The Daily Hot Shot

This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 1/11 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 Lines

Washington One “FanDuel” – Nicklas Backstrom, Alex Ovechkin, Tom Wilson

Washington Two “DraftKings” – Evgeny Kuznetsov, Jakob Vrana, T.J. Oshie

The two top lines for the Washington Capitals are both top ten lines in terms of goals scored over the last ten games, with eight for the second line and seven for the first line. The Caps are a slate high -250 home favorite against the Devils and should be able to bounce back from a disappointing loss last time out. As far as which line to go with, I think you just take what these sites give you and exploit the pricing. With such a tremendous markdown on the second line on DraftKings, I would use them there and get my exposure to the first line on FanDuel. The first line has better underlying statistics but it is also a line that is heavily dependent on Alex Ovechkin and not quite as balanced as the second line.

Top Value Line

Carolina One – Andrei Svechnikov, Warren Foegele, Jordan Staal

This line served it’s purpose last night and we can go back to the well once again. It was Warren Foegele lighting up the board for us and Carolina will remain at home to face an L.A. Kings team making the trip all the way east. The top line is now up to nine goals over their last ten games, tied for second in the NHL across that period. Carolina is a heavy -220 favorite and despite a scattered showing in the 3-0 win over the Coyotes, this is a much better matchup for them. The Kings have not allowed a shutout all season. Their general affordability opens up a lot in terms of lineup construction.
