The final Tuesday slate of February brings us a healthy 10 game slate. There will be a lot of places to go tonight, so we will get right into it. Let’s find the best NHL DFS plays for DraftKings and FanDuel. Good luck!
Goalies
Linus Ullmark – Boston Bruins: The Bruins were just in Edmonton last night, where Swayman got a win. With that being said, Ullmark should be in line to face the Flames tonight. We may not know for sure until later today, so make sure you keep an eye on news. This is a great upside spot for a goalie who has been solid all year long.
Andre Vasilevskiy – Tampa Bay Lightning: Vas gets the Florida Panthers at home tonight in what should be a really nice upside spot for him. The Panthers are shooting a ton recently, and Vas is one of the best.
Juuse Saros – Nashville Predators: The Preds host the Penguins tonight, who exploded in their last game. This should be a decent leverage spot, as there should be some shot volume and some upside. Saros has solid numbers recently.
High Risk Goalie Pick – Karel Vejmelka – Arizona Coyotes: The Coyotes host the Chicago Blackhawks tonight in a very interesting game. Both of these teams are not very good overall, especially on defense. Neither team is good on offense either, but weirdly, both teams seem to be scoring of late. Vejmelka presents a decent play tonight, as Chicago is on the road on a back to back. There is definitely some risk here, as his numbers of late have been scary, but he is worth a look.
Others to Consider: Ville Husso (DET), Pheonix Copley (LAK), Filip Gustavsson (MIN)
Lines to Build Around
These NHL DFS lines are considered top plays for the night and can be considered the focal point of your builds. They will be listed by position in the following order: Center/Winger/Winger/Correlating Defenseman (if applicable).
Tampa Bay Lightning Power Play – Brayden Point/Steven Stamkos/Nikita Kucherov/Alex Killorn/Mikhail Sergachev: This is a fantastic spot for the second ranked power play unit in the league. The Panthers are second in times shorthanded per game, and they are ranked 27th on the penalty kill. There should be a ton of chances for this unit to capitalize tonight.
Arizona Coyotes 1 – Barrett Hayton/Nick Schmaltz/Clayton Keller/Juuso Valimaki: The Coyotes are in a good spot against a Chicago team who has a porous defense. This line is about the only line that produces for the Coyotes, and they have a solid matchup against the Domi line tonight, who give up tons of chances.
San Jose Sharks 2 – Tomas Hertl/Martin Kaut/Fabian Zetterlund: The Sharks host the Canadiens tonight, and this is a really nice spot for this second line. Kaut and Zetterlund are newly acquired, and they should take on the top six for the Candiens in a plus matchup.
High Risk Lines
These are NHL DFS plays that carry significantly more risk, but could pay off at low ownership. They will be listed by position in the following order: Center/Winger/Winger/Correlating Defenseman (if applicable).
Buffalo Sabres 2 – Dylan Cozens/Vinnie Hinostroza/Casey Mittelstadt: The Sabres are in a good spot up and down the lineup, and scoring might come from everywhere tonight. That is bad for DFS. However, with the top line probably garnering more ownership, this second line is very much in play in arguably a better matchup. The risk here is that scoring is in fact not concentrated enough to vault you up the board.
Columbus Blue Jackets 3 – Sean Kuraly/Eric Robinson/Mathieu Olivier: Speaking of risk, this line will have a ton of it. The even strength matchup dictates that they should have some chances. This is a play reserved for very deep GPP.
Seattle Kraken 3 – Yanni Gourde/Eeli Tolvanen/Oliver Bjorkstrand: Expect anything less? This third line has been on a tear recently, and they have a great matchup tonight against the depth lines for St. Louis. They should see plenty of chances and have some great upside potential.
