2/4 NHL DFS – The Daily Hot Shot

This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 2/4 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

Colorado One – Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, Gabriel Landeskog

The Colorado Avalanche come in tied with the Tampa Bay Lightning, as they are both identical -175 favorites with a 3.69 implied goal total, as of the time of writing. Both teams top lines have been phenomenal recently, as the Tampa Bay first line has ten full line goals over their last ten games, and the Avs top line has nine full line goals over their last ten games. I will give the slight nod here to the Avs, as unlike the Lightning’s opponent Las Vegas, Buffalo has been falling apart at the seams recently and should continue to regress over the second half. Nathan MacKinnon will be the most popular skater on the slate in all formats. You can play him as a one-off and I would likely go that route in cash, or you can pair him with the full line.

Top Value Line

Calgary One – Matthew Tkachuk, Elias Lindholm, Andrew Mangiapane

Tonight’s value line is a late-game hammer. Speaking of teams like the Sabres, in line for a poor second half, we have the San Jose Sharks. Meanwhile, the Calgary Flames have been flying high as of late. This line has been producing at a discount on both sites, and it does not look like they will receive a price adjustment anytime soon. Because of the game time and some bigger name teams playing before them, the Calgary Flames should go under the radar here. They come in a -180 favorite so higher than both the Avalanche and Lightning, with a healthy 3.49 implied goal total to top things off.
