2/5 NHL DFS – The Daily Hot Shot

This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 2/5 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 will come into this showdown with the Rangers all rested up and their top line should be very popular. The Leafs are a -140 favorite in what should be a total shootout. Last time out, it was their second line that did the damage, but this time the roles should be reversed. The Toronto top line’s 142 shot attempts for over their last games is the best in the NHL during that period. Auston Matthews individually should definitely be one of the staples of your cash lineups.

Top Value Line

New York Rangers Two – Artemi Panarin, Ryan Strome, Jesper Fast

I had mentioned just above under the Toronto writeup that this game should be a shootout. It only makes sense to bring things back with the Ranger’s second line. This line’s 110 SATF over their last ten games is not quite as impressive as the Toronto first unit’s 142, but it is still good for eighth in the NHL over that span. Artemi Panarin is nothing short of a stud and after Auston Matthews, he would be the second skater that I jam into my cash lineups. This line is extremely affordable on both sites and should allow you to afford skaters elsewhere. Particularly with the Chris Krieder injury “he is GTD decision tomorrow”, the Rangers top line is depleted but I think that I would still write this line up based on the immense value that they provide.
