10/12 NHL Main Slate of Games – Beginning 7 p.m. ET

*All odds and player pricing below have been obtained from DraftKings Sportsbook and are accurate as of the time of writing*

New York Rangers (-125) at Buffalo Sabres (+105)6.5 Projected Goal Total

Philadelphia Flyers (+110) at Columbus Blue Jackets (-130)6.5 Projected Goal Total

Detroit Red Wings (+215) at New Jersey Devils (-265)6.5 Projected Goal Total

Seattle Kraken (-110) at Nashville Predators (-110)6 Projected Goal Total

St. Louis Blues (+170) at Dallas Stars (-205)6.5 Projected Goal Total

Florida Panthers (+105) at Minnesota Wild (-125)6.5 Projected Goal Total

Vegas Golden Knights (-245) at San Jose Sharks (+200)6.5 Projected Goal Total

Vegas One – “Jack Eichel ($7,900), Jonathan Marchessault ($6,500), Ivan Barbashev ($4,800)”

This line should be chalky but you can always try to be different with the rest of your build. The core two players are Jack Eichel and 2022 playoff hero Jonathan Marchessault. This slate has a lot more parity than yesterday’s but at -245, the Golden Knights are up there with the Devils (-265) for the title of the slate’s biggest favorite. Both Eichel and Marchessault share additional correlation on the top power-play unit for Vegas.

10/12 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line

Columbus One – “Patrik Laine ($6,600), Johnny Gaudreau ($6,300), Cole Sillinger ($3,500)”

I am listing this as my contrarian line as I am not sure this is how people will be looking to spend their money. These guys probably bring back nightmares for most NHL DFS players of burned money from 2022. However, it is a new season and they are still uber talented. The Blue Jackets are -130 money-line favorites at home facing the Flyers in a 6.5 total game so it’s not a bad spot. While the Devils, Golden Knights, Rangers, and others soak up ownership, this line has slate breaking upside.

Defensemen and Goalies

Defensemen

Cam York – Philadelphia – $3,500 – Cam York is now the quarterback of the Flyer’s powerplay unit and skates with the top unit at full strength as well. He is underpriced for his role at $3,500. If you are running the Columbus line listed above he makes additional sense as a way to bring the other side back in case this game turns into a shootout.

Calen Addison – Minnesota -$2,500 – This guy was not exactly great despite opportunities last season. However, it seems he will continue to play with the top power-play unit and he comes in at the dead minimum price-wise. The Wild are home favorites (-125) in a 6.5 total game so maybe he grabs an assist or two and allows us to spend up elsewhere.

Goalies

Igor Shesterkin – New York Rangers – $8,000 – Following a sophomore slump, I believe in the talent here. We will see if Igor can get off the ground running.

Sergei Bobrovsky – Florida – $7,600 – Perhaps not the cash play tonight but this 2022 Panther’s playoffs star has a wide range of outcomes here. If Minnesota can’t put one past him, he may have a big night.

10/12 NHL Best Bet

Columbus ML (-130) – DraftKings – 1 Unit

They both underperformed and had a lot of injuries last season. However, simply put, this is a much more talented team than the Flyers “Sorry Jon Love”. They should start off the season with a home win but trying to aim for the puck line here may be too lofty an ambition.
