This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 11/15 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.

11/15 NHL – Main Slate
Top Three Lines
Washington One – Alex Ovechkin “Core”, John Carlson “Core”, T.J. Oshie, Nicklas Backstrom
The Capitals have been playing some great hockey as of late, somehow staying atop their division over the red hot Islanders. Alex Ovechkin and John Carlson have been the driving forces behind their success and they are the two core pieces. They will host the Canadiens and are projected for a slate high 3.35 goals as a -165 favorite. The way that they have been playing, the Caps should extend their winning ways. While I would be sure to have both Ovi and Carlson in any stack and in cash games, for tournaments I wouldn’t mind adding on. I would probably start with T.J. Oshie before Nicklas Backstrom, who is priced far too high for his output on DraftKings.
Philadelphia Two – Oskar Lindblom, Travis Konecny, Sean Couturier
This line provides us with some nice value that we can use to help fit some studs elsewhere. It has also easily been the most productive of Philly’s lines so far this season. The Flyers are projected for a slate high 3.51 goals in the “late” game. This should be a fast-paced game filled with questionable defense. The Senators can give up goals with the best of them, but can also score in their own right as Jean-Gabriel Pageau showed us the other night. I definitely don’t hate a game stack here and I also think Ottawa makes for a fine contrarian value option.
Boston One – David Pastrnak, Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron
The Bruin’s projected total of 2.93 at the of writing might cause them to fly under the radar by their standards. I always want exposure to this line, particularly against a Maple Leafs team that they historically own and play shoddy defense. It’s Pasta as always as the stand out pick and the guy you would use a one-off. However, it might wise to stick to full line with the thought that if Washington or that late-game busts, it will be sitting pretty.

Alex Ovechkin – Over 5.5. Fantasy Points – Normally when the Bruins are on a slate, Pasta is the first man you see here. However, rolling with Ovi certainly is far from contrarian. Especially when he is shooting at such a rampant pace.
David Pastrnak- Over 6.5 Fantasy Points – Unfortunately, it seems like John Carlson was removed from the Monkey Knife Fight player pool. So, I guess in our quest to use elite players we will have to turn to Pasta’s familiar face after all.
