2/11 NHL Best Odds

* Nikolaj Ehlers to Score (+200) – 0.25 Units – Odds at DraftKings Sportsbook*

DraftKings | FanDuel

The Betting Game Plan

Nikolaj Ehlers has been at the heart of the action recently for the Winnipeg Jets. He has eight goals and six assists across 12 games so far this season. Now he gets to face an Ottawa team that has a league worst -27 goal differential. Over his last five games, he has put six, four, two, five, and four shots on goal. Given the discount we receive on Ehlers, as compared to some of his teammates, we might as well take a stab at a goal here.

Top Point Per Dollar Line “DraftKings”

Winnipeg Three Two Man “Kyle Connor, Pierre-Luc Dubois”

Between a $6,000 price tag on Kyle Connor and $4,200 on Pierre-Luc Dubois, we’re getting some savings, in relation to the level of talent. Unfortunately, unlike Connor, Winnipeg newcomer Dubois is not on the top power play unit. However, his teammates will be looking to get him the puck as he looks to become further acclimated. It doesn’t hurt that the Jets have the second highest win odds on the slate at -200, hosting the pitiful Ottawa Senators.

Top Point Per Dollar Line “FanDuel”

Winnipeg One “Mark Scheifele, Nikolaj Ehlers, and Andrew Copp”

Sticking with the Winnipeg theme, on FanDuel we may look to simply swap lines. As you can already tell from the rankings, I am a big fan of Mark Scheifele on both sites tonight. Nikolaj Ehlers has been in great form recently and is priced in the mid range. Finally, Andrew Copp helps us get some savings at a $4,000 price that seems like a discount considering his elevated role on top line, as well as recent form. By comparison, Copp is $5,300 on DraftKings.
