There’s no two ways about it, last night was an absolutely horrible slate. Hopefully tonight brings us a better result. With 11 games on the slate, this one should be much better. Let’s look at the best NHL DFS plays for tonight. Good luck!

Goalies

Connor Ingram – Arizona Coyotes: The Coyotes host the Senators tonight, who have been pretty bad of late. They have been struggling to generate chances and have lacked in the scoring department. Ingram has been fantastic and this is a great matchup for him tonight.

Cam Talbot – Los Angeles Kings: The Kings head to San Jose tonight to take on the Sharks in what should be a win for Talbot. This one should be chalky, so this is more of a cash play tonight.

Devon Levi – Buffalo Sabres: Levi and the Sabres host the Blue Jackets tonight in a solid matchup. Levi has been playing well, and he should be able to snag a win tonight.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Martin Jones – Toronto Maple Leafs: In a small sample, Jones’ numbers look great. He could be due for some regression, and the Leafs play the Rangers tonight, so this one is definitely a risky play. The shot volume will be there.

Others to Consider: Juuse Saros (NSH), Andrei Vasilevskiy (TBL), Thatcher Demko (VAN)

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).

Colorado Avalanche 1 – Nathan MacKinnon/Valeri Nichushkin/Mikko Rantanen/Devon Toews: Yikes. This is a ridiculous matchup and in theory a really obvious play. The Avalanche head to Chicago to face the Blackhawks, where they should be able to outclass them up and down the ice. Makar might still be out tonight, but if he skates, then he takes the place of Toews.

Buffalo Sabres 1 – Tage Thompson/Alex Tuch/Zach Benson/Rasmus Dahlin: This top line for the Sabres is in a great spot tonight against the top line for the Blue Jackets. Tarasov is getting the start for Columbus, which elevates this line to an even better spot than they were in before that news.

Los Angeles Kings 2 – Phillip Danault/Trevor Moore/Kevin Fiala: The Kings’ second line should see the Hertl line for most of the night tonight, setting them up in a prime matchup. The Sharks, as we know, are very bad on defense, so this one could get ugly for them.

Toronto Maple Leafs 1 – Auston Matthews/William Nylander/Matthew Knies/Morgan Rielly: The Leafs have been scoring in bunches as well as creating tons of chances over their last five games. On top of that, Igor for the Rangers has been absolutely terrible, so this is a fantastic spot for the Leafs’ top line if Matthews plays. If he sits, then they are high risk.

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).

Arizona Coyotes 2 – Nick Bjugstad/Lawson Crouse/Matias Maccelli: The second line for the Coyotes should see the top line for the Sens tonight in a nice matchup. They have been playing well of late, and this is a good spot for them.

New York Islanders 2 – Brock Nelson/Pierre Engvall/Kyle Palmieri: The second line for the Isles is in a great spot against the top six for the Oilers. Edmonton is not great when it comes to defense, so there should be plenty of chances for this group.

Los Angeles Kings 3 – Pierre-Luc Dubois/Alex Laferriere/Arthur Kaliyev: The addition of Kaliyev to the third line makes them VERY interesting, and they should see their chances against a poor San Jose depth tonight.

Philadelphia Flyers 3 – Joel Farabee/Ryan Poehling/Cam Atkinson: The Flyers have been rolling lately, and this matchup tonight against the Devils looks really interesting for this third line. They are the epitome of risk, as they have not been scoring much, but they should see their chances.
