NHL DFS Between the Benches for DraftKings and FanDuel (Feb. 7)

We’re back with a Sunday Noon Win Daily NHL Article! Lot’s of great spots tonight! So buckle up and get ready for the newest edition of WinDaily’s Between the Benches! For tonight’s 2/7 NHL slate, we have a small 5-game slate that begins at 12 pm ET! (mainly because of the Super Bowl) Let’s get into it!

Keep in mind!!! FanDuel has updated their NHL tournaments and they now include two UTIL spots which have replaced two winger spots. DraftKings has stayed the same but don’t forget last season they revamped the scoring and added stats bonuses, so if you’re new to NHL or haven’t played in a while, check out our live stream on the WinDaily YouTube by clicking here and read through the rules on the site of your choice!

2/7 NHL Stack Report

1. Florida Panthers 1 
   Verhaeghe – Barkov – Duclair (FanDuel: $16,700 | DraftKings: $18,000)
   – What’s not to love about this line, you have affordable, consistent producers who are playing the worst team in their division and hold one of the highest implied totals on the slate. With this line, you’ll get exposure to the top two power-play units against a team that has one of the worst penalty kills at an abysmal 71% kill rate while averaging 8 PIM per game
   Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Aaron Ekblad (Keith Yandle for Salary Saver)(FD: $5,600 | DK: $6,000)
2. Dallas Stars 1 
   Benn – Pavelski – Radulov (FanDuel: $20,600 | DraftKings: $19,700)
   – Here we have another team who holds one of the highest implied goal totals on the slate and the majority of Dallas’ production out of late has been cycling through these four players. Chicago has struggled defensively all season while Dallas is in first place in goals per game with an average of four. All four members of this stack play on Dallas’ top Power Play and although this is a pay-up spot, it’s hard to go wrong in this matchup.
   Ideal Defensive Partner: John Klingberg (Heiskanen works as a salary saver) (FD: $6,700 | DK: $6,400)
   
   Honorable Mention(s): Vegas Golden Knights 1, Columbus Blue Jackets 2

2/7 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best

1. Jake Oettinger (FD: $8,100 | DK: $7,800)
2. Robin Lehner (FD: $8,700 | DK: $8,200)
   Honorable Mention(s): Reimer, Korpisalo, Vanecek (FD Only), Peterson

Worst

1. Thomas Greiss (FD: $6,600 | DK: $6,900)
   Honorable Mention(s): Bobrovsky (Shaky), Lankinen
   

2/7 NHL Wild Card Targets

Carter Verhaeghe (FD: $4,500 | DK: $5,400) 
– This is a really interesting play, since he spent most of his time in the league prior to this season on the fourth line, it doesn’t look like hes getting a ton of respect from DFS sites but he’s had a very consistent and productive start to his 2021 season and his superb play has found him time on the top power play unit. Going against Detroit at his price, definitely an interesting option that allows us to target more of the big fish in the slate. (There are a lot of them)

Honorable Mention(s): Jack Roslovic, Alex Tuch, Oliver Bjorkstrand

Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)

Centre – Alexander Barkov

Winger – Carter Verhaeghe

Defence – John Klingberg

Goalie – No Goalie Option Stood Out to me but I went with Oettinger
