It’s hard to believe that we have just two weeks left in 2023. We head into this week with a fairly balanced NHL schedule, one that brings us a nice five game slate tonight. This looks to be a low scoring slate, so we have to nail it. Let’s look at the best NHL DFS plays for tonight. Good luck!

Goalies

Ville Husso – Detroit Red Wings: This is a little bit risky, but the Wings host the Ducks, who are struggling, injured, and also on the second leg of a traveling back to back. This one is a lot more about opportunity.

Connor Hellebuyck – Winnipeg Jets: The Jets host the Canadiens tonight in what should be a solid matchup for Helly and the Jets.

Filip Gustavsson – Minnesota Wild: The Wild head to Pittsburgh to face the Penguins, who have been beat up pretty bad for a few games. The injuries piled up, but they are looking to get Rakell back tonight, which should help. However, this is still a good matchup for Gus.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Joey Daccord – Seattle Kraken: Road matchups are usually a little bit tougher to gauge, especially for goalies. However, Daccord has fantastic numbers and this appears to be a game where both teams kind of cancel each other out. Dallas has been giving up goals, but chances have been limited, so there is a chance that the Kraken can pull an upset tonight.

Others to Consider: Anthony Stolarz (FLA)

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).

Winnipeg Jets 1 – Mark Scheifele/Gabriel Vilardi/Nikolaj Ehlers/Josh Morrissey: This line gets a date with the depth for the Canadiens tonight, setting up a fantastic looking matchup. They should see tons of chances, and they should be able to light the lamp a few times tonight.

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 Power Play – Dylan Larkin/Patrick Kane/JT Compher/Alex Debrincat/Shayne Gostisbehere: The Red Wings have an interesting matchup tonight at home against the Ducks. Anaheim is middle of the pack when it comes to killing penalties, but they take the most penalties per game in the league, so there should be plenty of chances for this unit. Make sure that Larkin is back for sure tonight.

Calgary Flames 2 – Nazem Kadri/Martin Pospisil/Connor Zary: The Flames host the Panthers tonight, and this is a solid matchup for the second line. They should see a lot of the second line for Florida, creating a plus matchup.

Minnesota Wild 1 – Joel Eriksson Ek/Kirill Kaprizov/Matt Boldy/Brock Faber: The Wild top line has a sold matchup with the second line for Pittsburgh tonight. Nedeljkovic has been solid, making it a riskier matchup.
