Happy new year!! We here at Win Daily hope you all had a fantastic holiday season. As we kick off 2024, we are greeted with a giant 13 game slate. Let’s look at the best NHL DFS plays for tonight. Good luck!

Goalies

Juuse Saros – Nashville Predators: The Preds host the Blackhawks tonight in what should be a very solid matchup for Juice. This is a cash play more than a GPP play.

Alexandar Georgiev – Colorado Avalanche: The Avs host the Islanders tonight and this should be a good spot for Georgiev, who has been playing well of late.

Tristan Jarry – Pittsburgh Penguins: Jarry and the Pens host the Caps tonight, and this should be a solid spot for Jarry.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Karel Vejmelka – Arizona Coyotes: Veggie is back, as the Coyotes have been a solid team this year. They are not the Coyotes of the past, and tonight they get a good home matchup against the Panthers. There should be a bit of upside in this play, and the Panthers have been struggling to score. Veggie at home is much better than on the road, so this looks like a solid risk play.

Others to Consider: Linus Ullmark (BOS), Marc-Andre Fleury (MIN), Scott Wedgewood (DAL), Stuart Skinner (EDM), Connor Hellebuyck (WPG)

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 Power Play – Roope Hintz/Jason Robertson/Joe Pavelski/Jamie Benn/Miro Heiskanen: The Stars have the 12th ranked power play unit, and Montreal has the 30th ranked PK unit, setting this group up for a very solid night. The Canadiens are also 9th in the league in PIMs/game, so there should be plenty of opportunity for this unit tonight.

Vancouver Canucks Power Play – Elias Pettersson/JT Miller/Brock Boeser/Andrei Kuzmenko/Quinn Hughes: The Canucks take on Ottawa at home tonight, setting this unit up for a huge night. They should get plenty of opportunities, and should be able to capitalize on them.

Colorado Avalanche 1 – Nathan MacKinnon/Mikko Rantanen/Jonathan Drouin/Cale Makar: This line is virtually always in play, but especially tonight. They should see the top line for the Isles tonight in a very nice looking matchup.

Nashville Predators 1 – Ryan O’Reilly/Gustav Nyquist/Filip Forsberg/Roman Josi: This is a fantastic matchup for the Preds tonight, as this line should face the top line for the Hawks for a majority of the night. The Preds have been struggling a bit, but this is a great spot for them to get back on track.

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).

Boston Bruins 2 – Charlie Coyle/Brad Marchand/Jake Debrusk: This second line for the Bruins should see a date with the second line for the Blue Jackets tonight. That sets them up for a good opportunity to light the lamp a couple of times.

New York Rangers 2 – Vincent Trocheck/Artemi Panarin/Alexis Lafreniere: The second line for the Rangers is in a decent spot tonight against the second line for the Canes. They should see plenty of chances and have been playing well of late.

Pittsburgh Penguins 2 – Evgeni Malkin/Bryan Rust/Reilly Smith: This second line gets a date with the top line for the Caps tonight in a very plus matchup. Getting Rust back really helps the cause as well.

Winnipeg Jets 1 – Mark Scheifele/Gabriel Vilardi/Nikolaj Ehlers/Josh Morrissey: The Jets take on the Lightning tonight on home ice, and this line gets a very solid matchup against the newly formed TBL2. They should be able to take advantage of this matchup tonight. Consider the third line for the Jets as well if you want to get real risky with it.
