Happy Saturday y’all! We have ourselves a massive 11-game slate of NHL DFS tonight. This is a slate that at first glance is wide open. We have 5 teams on the tail-end of a back-to-back and 2 teams on the front-end of a back-to-back. This slate also brings us some of the worst defensive teams in the league and we’ll surely be able to attack them.
Let’s dig in and make some money!
NHL DFS Goalies
Frederik Andersen ($7.9k on DK) vs. Seattle Kraken
Frederik Andersen is off to a roaring start in the 2024-2025 campaign. Through 3 starts, he owns an impressive 1.65 GAA and a strong .939 save percentage. At a price tag of $7.9k on DK, we’re getting a goalie who has immense upside. He’s scored at least 20 DK points in back-to-back contests and with a matchup against an average at best offense in the Kraken, I would not be surprised to see him make it 3 in a row with over 20. The Kraken are scoring just north of 3 goals per game on 30 shots.
I have no doubt in my mind that Andersen should be able to limit any damage that the Kraken try to throw his way. Look for him to be one of the top goalies of the night.
Dustin Wolf ($7.4k on DK) vs. Winnipeg Jets
I wish the matchup was a little bit better, but it’s tough to ignore the price tag on Wolf given what he’s done so far this season. Through his first 3 starts, he’s been at 23 points once and 24 points twice. The Flames have been bleeding shots all season and Wolf has looked pretty formidable in saving most of them. Thanks to the barrage of shots on him, he’s averaged more than 34 saves a game so far this season.
Winnipeg for that matter has taken nearly 32 shots on goal per game. The volume should be there for Wolf tonight to continue to make a ton of saves per game. I’m sure he’ll let in a few, but with his price and the amount of saves he should get, he’ll easily pay off his salary and more tonight. One of the best values on the board.
Other goalies I like tonight will be Connor Hellebuyk, Kevin Lankinen, and Anthonly Stolarz. There are a lot of options at $8k or under this evening.
NHL DFS Stacks
Vegas 1 (Stone/Eichel/Barbashev) vs. San Jose Sharks
Although they have some tired legs after playing last night against the Senators, they’re at least home for both of them and they get one of the best matchups on the board tonight. The Sharks are bad, just like last season. Through the first 8 games of the season, they are still searching for the first win and are already at a -17 goal differential. Teams are scoring nearly 4 goals per game against them and are taking close to 33 shots on goal per game against them. They are also giving up close to 14 high-danger chances per game. This all sets up great for one of the best lines in the league.
All 3 guys on this line have been productive, including the cheapest member in Barbashev. He’s scored a goal in 3 of his last 4 games and had 2 last night against the Sens. He’ll be a core for me here, followed by his linemates in Stone and Eichel. They are pricey, but they should smash tonight against a very bad Sharks team.
Dallas 2 (Seguin/Duchene/Marchment) vs. Chicago Blackhawks
With the Blackhawks on the tail end of the back-to-back, I expect them to be sloppier than normal on D. While they have been improved compared to last season, they are still giving up close to 3.5 goals per game. We should also see Arvid Soderblom in net for the Blackhawks tonight and he is super beatable as he owns a career GAA well into the 3’s. He’s also coming off a start vs. the Sabres that saw him give up 4 goals.
This second unit for the Stars has been good as they’ve combined for 15 points and 6 goals over their last 5 games. The core play here will be Matt Duchene as he’s lead the way with 7 points over over his last 5 games. The top line for the Dallas is also very much in play tonight.
Other stacks I like tonight will be NYR 1 and 2, Van 1, St. Louis 1 and 2, Tor 1 and Tampa 1.
