This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 11/29 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 Four Lines
Philadelphia One – Morgan Frost, Claude Giroux, Travis Konecny
Philadelphia Two – Sean Couturier, Jacob Voracek, Oskar Lindblom
This is a big slate so I do not think that anything will be considered chalk. However, the Philadelphia Flyers come in the heaviest favorite at -230, mainly because of their opponent, the lowly Detroit Red Wings. The Flyers’ top line has been jelling quickly since Morgan Frost’s promotion to the NHL and does not break the bank either. Frost remains only $4,300 on FanDuel which helps to offset the cost of the other two skaters. Morgan Frost gets a price bump on DraftKings but it is offset by how cheap his linemates become. The Philadelphia second line is affordable on both sites, particularly DraftKings and consists of three solid skaters. Both the first and second lines all share full power play correlation as well.
Toronto One – Auston Matthews, William Nylander, Andreas Johnsson, Tyson Barrie “Add-On”, Jake Muzzin “Add-On”
Let’s go back to the well. While both William Nylander and Andreas Johnsson ate the other night in Detroit, Auston Matthews was silent. I wouldn’t expect that to happen again. As of the time of writing, the Leafs have the slates highest projected total, as they continue to roll under new coach Sheldon Keefe. Tyson Barrie has absolutely been en Fuego as of late so I don’t mind adding him, given the power play correlation that Barrie has with both Matthews and Nylander on the first power-play unit. If looking for savings we can go back to Jake Muzzin. Muzzin disappointed while other Maple Leafs didn’t the other night, but he is relatively cheap, shares time on the second line, and sees some power play time.
Pittsburgh One – Evgeni Malkin, Jake Guentzel, Bryan Rust
Pittsburgh One crushed once again at super low ownership on Wednesday’s giant slate. They sent a resounding message that despite the absence of that Crosby guy, the Penguins are still a force to be reckoned with. While the current second line might have its moments, these three are the Penguin’s rock stars. The Pens are only a slight favorite in Columbus, but I think that they absolutely smash them. Let’s not allow their reminder not to fade them the other night be forgotten too quickly. All three members of this line have been eating so I like the full line. Given Bryan Rust’s criminal price of $4,800 on FanDuel, he should be in almost every lineup you make there.

David Pastrnak – Over 5.5 Fantasy Points – If you’re looking for a little early action, we can turn to our old friend. The Bruins had one down game, so it is back down to 5.5 Fantasy Points needed once again. Needless to say, things likely won’t work out well for the Rangers in Boston.
John Carlson – Over 4.5 Fantasy Points – Since we don’t have to pay his outrageous DFS salary on MKF, let’s load up on John Carlson, who gives us a safe bet.
