NHL DFS Man Advantage for DraftKings and FanDuel (Jan 8)

We are back tonight with another smaller slate. Tonight, we get 4 games that should be pretty close, so this is going to be a very tough slate. Let’s look at the best NHL DFS plays for tonight. Good luck!

Goalies

Alexandar Georgiev – Colorado Avalanche: The Avs host the Bruins tonight in what should be a great game to watch. Both of these clubs are solid, and they have been playing well of late. This game should end up being tightly contested, and Georgiev has some solid numbers of late.

Matt Murray – Dallas Stars: The Stars head to Minnesota to face the Wild tonight in what should also be a tight game. Murray is playable, as Minnesota has been struggling.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Marc-Andre Fleury – Minnesota Wild: The Wild host the Stars tonight, and MAF has had some decent numbers recently. The Stars are coming into this game generating a ton of chances, but mostly at home. This is a spot that should see some upside.

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/Matt Duchene: The Stars have the 12th ranked power play unit, and Minnesota has the 28th ranked PK unit, setting this group up for a very solid night. The Wild take the 5th most penalties per game, so there should be ample opportunity for them tonight. Keep an eye on this one tonight, as Heiskanen is out. Duchene is listed as the 5th member of this unit currently, but could end up being Harley.

Vancouver Canucks Power Play – Elias Pettersson/JT Miller/Brock Boeser/Andrei Kuzmenko/Quinn Hughes: The Canucks head to New York tonight to face the Rangers, who have been up and down this season. Shesterkin specifically has been very inconsistent, and this unit should see some decent chances 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).

Colorado Avalanche 1 – Nathan MacKinnon/Mikko Rantanen/Jonathan Drouin/Cale Makar: This line is about the only one in Colorado that we can trust at this point, and they have a decent matchup tonight. Swayman hasn’t been great for the Bruins recently, so that ups their chances if he gets the start.

Vancouver Canucks 2 – Pius Suter/Ilya Mikheyev/Andrei Kuzmenko: This line has a small sample size, but good numbers. They should see the top line for the Rangers tonight in a plus matchup. On a night that is a hard slate, we need to find the variance. This looks like a solid place to find it.

Philadelphia Flyers 1 – Sean Couturier/Travis Konecny/Joel Farabee/Travis Sanheim: The Flyers/Pens game feels like it could be the most wide open game of the night, and this line (Konecny specifically) has been on fire. The Flyers don’t generally match lines, and they are constantly shuffling up their lines through a game, but this unit is in a good spot against a hated rival in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh Penguins Power Play – Sidney Crosby/Evgeni Malkin/Jake Guentzel/Rickard Rakell/Erik Karlsson: The other side of the Flyers/Pens has a good matchup as well, so feel free to mix and match from this game. Malkin and Crosby have always been a thorn in the Flyers’ side, so expect them to continue that tonight.
