This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 11/30 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 Four Lines
Washington One – Alex Ovechkin “Core”, Evgeny Kuznetsov “Core”, John Carlson “Core”, Tom Wilson
Washington Two – Lars Eller, Jacob Vrana, T.J. Oshie
The Detroit Red Wings have been nothing short of a disaster and an every night target at this point. Fresh off getting destroyed by the Flyers last night, they will play host to the Capitals. I plan on having all sorts of Capitals combinations and exposure to both lines. This is a clear mismatch. I will pair the top line with other cheaper lines and the second line with more expensive lines from other teams. Much like with Philly last night, I think it’s best to utilize the capture method. The Caps are not surprisingly a slate high -220 favorite and it is hard to imagine them not having their way here.
Tampa Bay One – Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point, Ondrej Palat
After a slow start, there has been some serious regression to the mean for Nikita Kucherov and company. They narrowly lost last night in overtime to a fierce Washington team. That was no fault of these lines, however, as Kucherov had three assists and Brayden Point scored a goal and an assist. They should be able to bounce back on home ice against the Hurricanes. Considering they were only 5% owned last night, people are still not owning this line as much as they should. Last year there was nary a slate that they weren’t giant chalk.
Calgary One – Johnny Gaudreau, Elias Lindholm, Sean Monahan, Mark Giordano
I don’t know if I have used this line since the beginning of the season. However, maybe this is the time to whip them out in tournaments. They will face an Ottawa team that is generally much better on home ice under the tutelage of a new coach. I’m not big on narratives but I’d willing to suggest the coaching needed to get switched up just based on the team’s performance issues alone. They come in a heavy -200 favorite considering just how bad they have been at times. It’s possible they let everyone down once again but I’d rather be a day too early, then a day too late.
