This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 1/30 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
Nashville Two – Filip Forsberg, Kyle Turris, Victor Arvidsson
All three of Nashville’s main lines are in play on this slate, as they come in a -140 road favorite in the highest total game of the night. The top line is in fine form as well with Mikael Granlund adding to his recent scoring streak last night. However, this newly formed second line is the most talented of the three lines and with the savings that Kyle Turris provides, very affordable. Unfortunately, because this line does not have much of sample size, we cannot look at too much data, but ultimately you would hope that the Predators will find a way to continue momentum after a thrilling win against the Washington Capitals last night. Mattias Ekholm would make the most sense as a defenseman pairing with this line, as he shares even-strength time, as well as time on the second power-play unit with two of three skaters. If using the first line, I would definitely pair them with Roman Josi.
Montreal One – Tomas Tatar, Phillip Danault, Ilya Kovalchuk, Add On Shea Weber “Note: Hopefully, Brendan Gallagher is back and if so huge bump”
Given that they are the home team, I think that the Buffalo Sabres will get higher ownership than the visiting Canadiens. It is likely that both Jack Eichel and Sam Reinhart are mega chalk once again just like they were the other night on a similarly small slate. However, I want to target Carter Hutton and the Montreal top line is affordable and features three skaters who all possess power playtime. This game is a pick-em with both teams at -110. I would really love it if the Montreal got Brendan Gallagher back. While he is fairly priced at $7,300 on FanDuel, Gallagher is only $6,300 on DraftKings. Either way, Buffalo is on the downswing after losing top goalie Linus Ullmark and it makes sense to target them. As it stands, the current trio has six full line goals and 100 SATF over their last ten games.
