Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot, where I’ll go through the top NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel.
It’s Saturday and that means we have a full slate on our hands. Tonight we have ourselves a really solid 10-game slate of NHL DFS. There are a handful of high-powered offenses that we’ll want to get into our lineups. We also have some really bad teams on the ice that we’ll want to attack. It’s shaping up to be an extremely fun slate.
Let’s dig in and make some money!
NHL DFS Goalies
Connor Ingram vs. Nashville Predators
The Coyotes should be turning over the crease to Connor Ingram this evening. I plan on locking him as my goalie tonight as he fits the bill that I normally look for, cheap and productive. Ingram is just $7.2k tonight and he plays far from a minimum-salary goalie. Over his last 3 starts, Ingram has games of 23, 18.6, and 22.8 DK points.
If he can come even close to that tonight against an average Predators offense, I will gladly take it. With a tag of $7.2k and the potential for points in the 20’s, that’s an extreme value and really solidifies our lineup. Lock and load Ingram tonight.
Alexandar Georgiev vs. St. Louis Blues
If you’re looking for more of a cash-game goaltender tonight, I’d side with Alexandar Georgiev. Georgiev is a little more pricier than Ingram at $8.3k on DK, but he’s also a much safer bet to get the W and perform well. The Avalanche are a huge favorite tonight against the Blues at -255.
I will add though that Georgiev has struggled a bit of late, with 4 consecutive duds. That said, this a solid get-right spot for him vs. a Blues offense that really isn’t all that impressive.
Other goalies: Igor Shesterkin, Tristan Jarry, and Ilya Samsonov
NHL DFS Stacks – Main
Vancouver 1 (Elias Pettersson, Ilya Mikheyev, Andrei Kuzmenko) vs. Ottawa Senators
This line worked out really well for us on Thursday when I recommended them and they get just as good of a matchup tonight against Toronto as they did on Thursday vs. Ottawa. The Canucks will be facing off against Ilya Samsonov. Samsonov has been horrendous. This season he has a 4.11 GAA and just a .855 save %. Both numbers are really bad. He has multiple games this year allowing at least 4 goals and has let up less than 3 just twice in his 7 starts.
He’s someone who will allow the puck to get past him early and often. It’s not only his fault though as the Maple Leafs have not been good defensively. They have allowed well over 4 goals per game over the last couple of weeks and pretty close to 14 high-danger chances. They are a team that, although they can score, they give up just as many just as quickly.
Over their last 3 games, this line has combined to score 4 goals. Elias Pettersson is the anchor of this line and the one that I’m most interested in. Over his last 5 games, Pettersson has been brilliant with 5 goals and 6 assists. Yes, he’s expensive at $7.9k but he’s a star on this team and one that we can often count on to fill the box sheet.
Next to him will be Ilya Mikheyev and Andrei Kuzmenko. Mikheyev is coming off one of his better games of the season that saw him score 2 goals and put 4 shots on net. Do I expect that again from him? No, but with a solid matchup, I do expect him to get in on the scoring. He’s a solid value at $4.4k. Adding Quinn Hughes to this stack is also a smart move. He’s making a very strong case for the Norris Trophy.
Los Angeles 1 (Anze Kopitar, Quinton Byfield, Adrian Kempe) vs. Philadelphia Flyers
Before we start, we’re going to have a little history lesson. Name the team that provided the first win for the historically bad San Jose Sharks. If you said the Flyers, you are right. This is a pretty weak Flyers team this season. Yes, they are coming off a victory vs. the Ducks last night, but they are still a bad team. I plan on attacking them often tonight with the Kings. Over the last couple of weeks, the Flyers are giving up pretty close to 4 goals per game.
They should have backup goal Cal Petersen in net tonight with Hart still nursing a back injury and Ersson playing last night. In his lone appearance this season, Petersen let up 5 goals against this same Kings team.
This top line for LA has been very good. Not only do they have 3 combined goals over their last 3 games, they also have 54 shot attempts on net. That’s more than any trio over their last 3 games. We’ll get to the stars of the show next, but I want to highlight the value of this line. Quinton Byfield is just $4k tonight, but he’s been on a tear and should be priced higher. Over his last 5 games, Byfield has an impressive 8 assists. He’s had at least 9 DK points in 4 of the 5 and if we can get him into double-digits tonight he’ll be an extreme value play.
Both Kempe and Kopitar are the goal scorers on this line. If I can only afford one of them tonight I’m siding with Kempe. Kempe has 4 goals in his last 5 and 27 shots on goal. He’s been great and so has this line. Use them often.
Other stacks I like tonight:
Boston 1 vs. Montreal
Ottawa 2 vs. Calgary
TB 1 and 2 vs. Carolina (tread lightly though)
Toronto 1 and 2 vs. Vancouver (tread lightly, Demko has been very good)
Pittsburgh 1 and 2 (Buffalo is on the tail end of a back-to-back)
Value D
Jamie Oleksiak $3k – Getting a ton of blocked shots of late
Nikita Zadorov $2.7k
Alexadre Carrier $4.2k
Scott Mayfield $3.9k
Sean Walker $3.4k
NHL DFS Summary
On the surface, this is a pretty clear-cut slate for me. Stack the Canucks and Kings. There are certainly other spots for offense tonight, but I’m really digging those spots and you should too!
