It’s Tuesday, which means we have a healthy sized 10 game slate. This one should feature a ton of options and we won’t have to worry too much about ownership tonight. Let’s look at the best NHL DFS plays for tonight. Good luck!
Goalies
Tristan Jarry – Pittsburgh Penguins: The Pens host the Coyotes tonight, who are on the second leg of a traveling back to back. Jarry has some solid numbers of late, and this should be a decent play.
Logan Thompson – Vegas Golden Knights: This is an upside play, as Thompson should see some shot volume. Calgary had a nice night last night from a scoring perspective, but being on a back-to-back should be good for Thompson and the Knights.
Joonas Korpisalo – Ottawa Senators: It’s been a while since we recommended a goalie from Ottawa, but this is a great spot for Korpi, as the Sens host the Hurricanes tonight. Not only are the Canes on a skid, but they still love throwing low danger shots at the net. There should be a good upside potential to this play tonight.
High Risk Goalie Pick – Ville Husso – Detroit Red Wings: This is an interesting spot for Husso and the Wings, as he should see a decent amount of shots. The Blues have been struggling very hard to score of late, so this is an intriguing spot for a low owned win. Don’t play Husso and the Blues in the same lineup.
Others to Consider: Sergei Bobrovsky (FLA), Laurent Brossoit (WPG), Jordan Binnington (STL)
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).
Edmonton Oilers 1 – Connor McDavid/Ryan Nugent-Hopkins/Zach Hyman/Evan Bouchard: The Oilers seem to have finally found their stride, winning their last five and putting up almost 3 goals per game in that stretch. They are producing a ton of chances and Chicago surrenders a ton of chances, so this is a prime spot for one of the best offensive teams in the league. Don’t be afraid to mix in a power play look here or there as well.
Toronto Maple Leafs Power Play – Auston Matthews/John Tavares/Mitch Marner/William Nylander/Morgan Rielly: We are going right back to the well with the Leafs tonight, as they get a date in New York with the Rangers. The preference here is the top line, but the power play look works as well. Igor for the Rangers has been absolutely terrible, so there should be plenty of chances to score tonight.
Tampa Bay Lightning 1 – Brayden Point/Brandon Hagel/Nikita Kucherov/Victor Hedman: The Lightning head west tonight to take on the Canucks in Vancouver, and this line should see the Miller line for most of the night. That creates a great matchup for this line in what should be a pretty fun game to watch.
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).
Ottawa Senators 2 – Tim Stutzle/Drake Batherson/Vladimir Tarasenko/Jake Sanderson: This second line should spend the majority of its night against the second line of the Hurricanes in a fantastic matchup. Ottawa hasn’t quite been a scoring machine, which is why this is a little high risk, but they should be high on your list tonight.
St. Louis Blues 2 – Pavel Buchnevich/Brandon Saad/Kasperi Kapanen: This second line should see a bunch of the third Detroit line in a very nice matchup. L3 is also in play here, so feel free to mix and match.
Philadelphia Flyers 1 – Sean Couturier/Travis Konecny/Tyson Foerster/Cam York: The Flyers head to Nashville tonight to take on the Preds, and this line should be in a good sot. They should be up against the top line for most of the night, but get some chances against the third line, which is where they can really shine. Konecny has been on fire lately.
Winnipeg Jets 3 – Adam Lowry/Mason Appleton/Nino Niederreiter: This third line should see the likes of San Jose’s third line tonight in a VERY NICE matchup. They should see plenty of chances, and will be pretty sneaky. If you aren’t feeling very frisky, Winnipeg’s top line is very much in play as well against the second line for the Sharks.
