2/3 NHL DFS – The Daily Hot Shot

This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 2/3 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

Toronto One – Auston Matthews, Mitchell Marner, Zach Hyman

The Toronto Maple Leafs are a -167 favorite as of the time of writing, in the game with the highest total on this slate. I like both teams in this one and think that it sets up well for a game stack. However, Auston Matthews should be the highest owned player on the slate and given how many goals the Panthers have given up on the road, if building one line, I will side with Toronto first. The Maple Leafs second line hasn’t been getting it done recently outside of William Nylander. However, the top line has 138 SATF and eight full line goals over their last ten games, tying them for fourth in the NHL during that period.

Top Value Line

Philadelphia Two – Joel Farabee, Sean Couturier, Jacob Voracek

Did you think I wouldn’t mention any lines against the Red Wings on a three-game slate? Guess again. Detroit has been better at home this season and Philly has been a lot worse on the road. However, “Slipping” Jimmy Howard should be in net and the Flyers are a -225 favorite for a reason. The first line is certainly in play and James Van Riemsdyk makes for a solid FanDuel play but the second line seems a bit underpriced recently on DraftKings. All three skaters also have a full correlation on the Philadelphia second power-play unit, on top of their even-strength pairing. On DraftKings, Jacob Voracek is $2,000 less than on FanDuel so if you play on both sites that is where to roster this line. Overall, on FanDuel it makes sense to give the first line more consideration although at $3,500 Joel Farabee is a lock.

Auston Matthews, Jonathan Huberdeau, Evgenii Dadonov – Over 2.5 Points – The daily 2.5 point bet had it’s streak snapped and is now down to 25/35. Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin grabbed a point but Alex Ovechkin gave us a rare goose-egg. For this slate, Auston Matthews should be the first man in. Next, I decided to grab some Panthers exposure so I will wait to double-check his status before placing tomorrow but would prefer Aleksander Barkov, if available. Jonathan Huberdeau would be an alternate option if Barkov is out due to an injury he picked up the other night. For the last spot, I think that you might as well go back to the Maple Leafs and Panthers, so I added Evgenii Dadonov.
