On this fine Tuesday, we get a nice eight game slate. This one looks to be a little more open than last night’s was, so we should have a little bit more leeway when it comes to our stacks. Let’s look at the best NHL DFS plays for tonight. Good luck!

Goalies

Juuse Saros – Nashville Predators: The Preds are playing well of late and head to Chicago tonight to take on the Blackhawks, who ae finding it hard to score recently. This is a solid spot for Juice, and expect him to be fairly chalky.

Thatcher Demko – Vancouver Canucks: This is a nice, high upside matchup for Demko, as the Canucks host the Devils. Demko should be peppered with shots tonight, giving him a solid floor.

Igor Shesterkin – New York Rangers: The Rangers head to Ottawa tonight, and this should be a solid spot for a win for Igor. Ottawa has been struggling to score of late, and that trend should continue tonight.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Kaapo Kahkonen – San Jose Sharks: Normally, road goalies are not in the mix for a play, but this one looks very interesting. The Sharks head to Long Island tonight to take on the Isles, who haven’t exactly been scoring like crazy of late. Kahkonen has really turned it up recently, sporting a very solid 1.18 GAA over his last five. We have to remember, this is the Sharks, so there is a TON of risk around this pick.

Others to Consider: Alexandar Georgiev (COL), Pheonix Copley (LAK), Ilya Sorokin (NYI)

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/Mikko Rantanen/Valeri Nichushkin/Devon Toews: This is a premier line in a premier matchup tonight. They play host to the Ducks in what should be a great matchup for them. The Ducks haven’t been great of late, and they now look to be missing a couple of key pieces to their lineup. Toews replaces Makar tonight and should be value lock.

Vancouver Canucks 1 – Elias Pettersson/Ilya Mikheyev/Sam Lafferty/Quinn Hughes: The Canucks host the Devils tonight in the battle of the Hughes family. All three of the Hughes brothers will be on the same ice in what should be a very entertaining matchup. This line should see a lot of the third line for the Devils in a very nice matchup. Consider rolling the power play here also.

Los Angeles Kings 2 – Phillip Danault/Trevor Moore/Kevin Fiala: This second line for the Kings gets a great matchup against the Fantilli line for the Jackets. They should see tons of chances, and this is one of the better DFS hockey lines in the league so far this year.

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).

Nashville Predators 2 – Juuso Parssinen/Luke Evangelista/Kiefer Sherwood: There’s no denying the opportunity for the Preds tonight, and this line gets a fantastic matchup against the second line for the Hawks. Expect them to get a ton of chances, hopefully potting multiple goals. The third line is in play as well, but carry a little more risk.

Detroit Red Wings 1 – Dylan Larkin/Robby Fabbri/Lucas Raymond: Most importantly, thoughts out to Dylan Larkin and his family after the devastating news that came out a few days ago. The top line here for the Wings is in a great spot against the Sabres tonight, but the Sabres are getting Tage Thompson back, so they get a little bit better with him in the lineup.

New York Islanders 2 – Brock Nelson/Kyle Palmieri/Pierre Engvall: The Isles have a good matchup tonight, but if Kahkonen keeps up his play, they may not pan out. There is risk in this one because they should be chalky, so a fade here makes a lot of sense if you are playing multiple lineups.
