Welcome to December! We have the holiday season upon us, and the NHL season is humming along nicely. Six games lined up for us to break down tonight, which is a great sized slate. This one feels pretty low scoring, so we have to nail it. Let’s look at the best NHL DFS plays for tonight. Good luck!

Goalies

Connor Ingram – Arizona Coyotes: People seem to be continuing to overlook Ingram and the Coyotes, but they are quietly having a solid season. Ingram in particular has some very solid numbers this year, and he should see enough upside tonight on home ice to be worth a look in net.

Jake Oettinger – Dallas Stars: This is a high upside risk play, as Otter and the Stars head to Tampa to take on the Lightning. Tampa has been on a skid lately, bleeding goals at a high rate, so there is definitely win equity in this play. However, the more important stat, shot upside, should be there tonight as well.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Sam Montembault – Montreal Canadiens: This is a very risky play tonight, as the Canadiens give up a lot of chances. Montembault is not the most impressive goalie there is, but his numbers look great recently.

Others to Consider: Antti Raanta (CAR), Logan Thompson (VGK)

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).

Dallas Stars 2 – Matt Duchene/Tyler Seguin/Mason Marchment: This is a great matchup tonight, as this line should see a lot of the top line for the Lightning. The top line has been bleeding chances, and this is a very solid line that has been producing all year long so far. Dallas power play and DAL1 are both in play here as well, so don’t forget them.

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).

Washington Capitals 3 – Connor McMichael/Anthony Mantha/Aliaksei Protas: The Caps are on a tough stretch, scoring less than 2 goals per game over their last five. That makes this a very risky play tonight, but one that will be severely overlooked. Of course, if you play this line, make sure it’s not against Ingram in the same lineup.

Vegas Golden Knights 1 – Jack Eichel/Mark Stone/Ivan Barbashev: This is a solid matchup for the Knights, as they host the Blues. This top line is about the only one you want to target for scoring, but feel free to mix and match the power play unit. To be clear, the power play matchup is not good, but mixing and matching that unit will get you access to both top lines.

Carolina Hurricanes 2 – Jesperi Kotkaniemi/Andrei Svechnikov/Teuvo Teravainen: The second line for the Canes should see a solid matchup against the top line for the Jets tonight. With Brossoit in net for the Jets, this becomes a solid play. You can always opt for a power play look with Carolina as well.

Seattle Kraken 2 – Yanni Gourde/Eeli Tolvanan/Oliver Bjorkstrand: This line is going to see the depth of the Canadiens tonight in a fantastic matchup. They should be considered your top value tonight, but keep them out of any Montembault lineups.

Philadelphia Flyers 2 – Morgan Frost/Bobby Brink/Owen Tippett: The Flyers’ second line should see the depth of the Penguins tonight on home ice, creating a very solid matchup for this line.
