1/29 NHL DFS – The Daily Hot Shot

This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 1/29 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 Line

Washington One – Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, Tom Wilson

I wanted to avoid writing them up if possible and I do think that the Tampa Bay Lightning present another high-end pivot. I think the issue with the Tampa Bay top line is that they are so expensive they lock you into certain builds. Washington’s top line, by contrast, allows you a lot of flexibility in terms of salary.

Alex Ovechkin spent his week off in Mexico and should be well-rested and ready to rock. He will look to resume his absurd hot streak which included eight goals in the three games leading up to the break. In cash games, I don’t think you need all three skaters, just Ovi. However, the other two skaters are very affordable on both sites, so they naturally make for fine plays paired with the great eight. Washington has a 3.59 implied goal total and should be able to win this game at home.

Top Value Lines

DraftKings – Calgary One and Two, Dallas One

FanDuel – Calgary Two, Vancouver Two

Auston Matthews, Roman Josi, John Carlson – Over 2.5 Points – The daily 2.5 point bet is up to 21/30 as the Calgary/St. Louis game ended up to be a shootout. Unfortunately, Ovi, Nikita Kucherov, and Connor McDavid are not options. They have trimmed it down to a twenty man pool. I think these three make the most sense out of what remains.
