1/15 NHL DFS – The Daily Hot Shot

189

This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 1/15 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 Two Lines

Montreal Two – Max Domi, Nick Suzuki, Artturi Lehkonen

The Chicago Blackhawks come into this one on the second night of a back to back, following a big overtime win over the Ottawa Senators. Since their top goaltender Robin Lehner was in net last night, the Canadiens will get to face the much more vulnerable Corey Crawford. We will have to see if Brendan Gallagher is finally going to return from a concussion at the morning skate. It is a coin flip which lines to use without him but I would lean towards line two, despite the fact that Ilya Kovalchuk makes for a fine one-off or add on for power-play correlation. If Brendan Gallagher is in, it would likely be the line with him in it “he usually skates on the first”. Montreal is a -150 home favorite and should be able to walk away with the win on home ice.

Chicago One – Jonathan Toews, Dominik Kubalik

The St. Louis Blues are a -175 home favorite against the Philadelphia Flyers, who have been awful on the road with their extreme splits. However, I also think that we can go back to this line, which has been fire personified, as those folks in the NHL discord chat are already well aware. There is no need to include Drake Cagguila as he is worthless, so I left him off above. However, the other two skaters have been absolutely killing it and make for great plays on the short slate. They combined for three goals last night and have seven over their last ten games. Nonetheless, they remain far too cheap. When you’re hot, you’re hot, and given the Canadiens’ recent struggles in net prior to Carey Price’s last two outings, I like this game to go over.

Patrick Kane, Brendan Gallagher, Alex Pietrangelo – Over 2.5 Points – The 2.5 point bet is up to a 16/22 hit rate as it smashed once again via an Auston Matthews hat trick, two point night for Nathan MacKinnon and Steven Stamkos goal. On a two game slate, the pickings are slimmer. I would wait to see if Brendan Gallagher is back though before placing it.
