Welcome to the Hot Shot for Tuesday, 11/15! We get a good sized, 9 game slate tonight with all kinds of action. There are lots of interesting places to look tonight. Let’s check out our NHL DFS picks for tonight. Good luck!
Goalies
Logan Thompson – Vegas Golden Knights: Thompson and the Knights host the Sharks tonight, and are massive favorites. The good thing about this play is that there could actually be some decent shot volume, so this looks like a good place to go in net.
Sergei Bobrovsky – Florida Panthers: The Panthers host the Capitals tonight, and Florida has a good shot at a win. Bob has been a little inconsistent this year, so there is a slight risk with him.
Marc-Andre Fleury – Minnesota Wild: After a pretty rough start to the year, MAF can finally be listed as a goalie to play tonight. He has really turned his numbers around, and he just so happens to get a matchup tonight with a pretty depleted roster for the Predators.
Vitek Vanecek – New Jersey Devils: The Devils host the Canadiens tonight, and while this looks on the surface like a safe play, there is some risk involved. Vanecek is coming off of an injury, and the Canadiens have been scoring a little bit of late. The Devils should have the upper hand in this game, though, so he is worth a look.
High Risk Goalie Pick – Jake Oettinger – Dallas Stars: The Stars head to Tampa tonight to take on the Lightning, and this should be a good spot for shot volume. The Stars have been rolling, so there is also a possibility for a win tonight.
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).
Vegas Golden Knights 2 – William Karlsson/Jonathan Marchessault/Rielly Smith/Shea Theodore: Vegas is in a fantastic spot tonight, and this second line should see a lot of the depth for the Sharks, creating a great matchup.
Dallas Stars 1 – Roope Hintz/Joe Pavelski/Jason Robertson/Miro Heiskanen: As mentioned, the Stars head to Tampa tonight, and this is a good spot for this top line, who has been scorching hot. They should see a lot of the top line for the Lightning, and with Elliott in net, expect them to light the lamp a few times.
Florida Panthers 1 – Aleksander Barkov/Matthew Tkachuk/Carter Verhaeghe/Aaron Ekblad: Against Washington, it feels like this line may go a little overlooked, but Kuemper for the Caps has been pretty bad of late. Expect them to see a lot of the top line tonight in a very good matchup.
Columbus Blue Jackets 1 – Boone Jenner/Emil Bemstrom/Johnny Gaudreau: The Blue Jackets face the Flyers again tonight, and top lines have been dominating Philly recently. This line looks to be in a good spot on home ice. Gaudreau and Jenner are the priorities here, but Bemstrom makes for a good value piece.
New Jersey Devils 2 – Jack Hughes/Yegor Sharanagovich/Jesper Bratt: The Devils’ second line is in a great spot tonight against the Canadiens. They should see a lot of the second and third lines, while Suzuki and co. focus on the Hischier line. They have a very good looking matchup on paper tonight, and Bratt/Hughes correlate on the power play.
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).
Detroit Red Wings 1 – Dylan Larkin/Tyler Bertuzzi/Lucas Raymond/Filip Hronek: Tyler Bertuzzi returns for the Red Wings tonight, as they face the Ducks in Anaheim. This is a great, great spot for this top line, especially if they Ducks keep their matching scheme. With Henrique in the lineup, they usually run them against the opposing top line, setting this line up for a potentially great night. Mortiz Seider can be used instead of Hronek, but Hronek gets the 5v5 correlation.
Anaheim Ducks 1 – Trevor Zegras/Troy Terry/Adam Henrique/John Klingberg: This is the opposing line from the matchup above, and this is a good matchup for the top line. However, Bertuzzi coming back may make it a little tougher for this line, which is what makes them a risky play.
Vancouver Canucks Power Play – Elias Pettersson/Brock Boeser/Bo Horvat/JT Miller/Quinn Hughes: The Canucks’ power play is in a good spot tonight, as they face the Sabres’ 26th ranked penalty kill. This is usually where the scoring comes from for the Canucks, and this game could be high scoring.
Buffalo Sabres Power Play – Tage Thompson/Jeff Skinner/Alex Tuch/Victor Olofsson/Rasmus Dahlin: The Sabres have gone cold recently, so they had to shuffle their lines a bit. However, the power play unit is in a good spot, as Vancouver is sporting the 31st ranked penalty killing unit. There is a legitimate possibility that Buffalo could snap out of their funk tonight.
