Welcome back to another edition of the Man Advantage. We get a solid 10 game slate tonight with some glaringly obvious plays. With that, we will have to find out how to be different. Let’s look at the best NHL DFS plays for tonight. Good luck!

Goalies

Stuart Skinner – Edmonton Oilers: This is your cash play on the night, as the Oilers head to Chicago to face the Blackhawks.

Martin Jones – Toronto Maple Leafs: If you aren’t comfortable with Skinner in cash, Jones is another solid play that should get the win with limited upside.

Joey Daccord – Seattle Kraken: Daccord has been very solid so far this season, especially recently. He gets a good matchup tonight against the Sabres. There is a little risk in this, but ride the hot hand tonight.

Jacob Markstrom – Calgary Flames: The Flames host the Senators tonight and this should be a solid matchup for Markstrom and the Flames.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Ilya Sorokin – New York Islanders: The Isles host the Canucks tonight, who are on the second half of a traveling back to back. Sorokin has been inconsistent this year, but there is a ton of upside in this play. Vancouver has been hot, so they may well just keep rolling tonight, so the risk is very much there.

Others to Consider: Connor Hellebuyck (WPG), Sergei Bobrovsky (FLA)

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).

Edmonton Oilers Power Play – Connor McDavid/Leon Draisaitl/Ryan Nugent-Hopkins/Zach Hyman/Evan Bouchard: This is a matchup. Wow. The Oilers against the Hawks tonight, in Chicago. This is going to be a very lopsided game, and this power play should absolutely feast tonight.

Florida Panthers 1 – Aleksander Barkov/Evan Rodrigues/Sam Reinhart/Brandon Montour: The Panthers’ top line has a really nice matchup tonight against the second line for the Blues. You can also roll the power play unit here, but this looks like a spot that should fly a little under the radar.

Toronto Maple Leafs Power Play – Auston Matthews/John Tavares/Mitch Marner/William Nylander/Morgan Rielly: This is another super-chalk play tonight, as the Leafs host the Sharks. The Leafs power play has been very good this year, and the Sharks are, well, the Sharks. This is your other obvious play on the night. Take your pick between these guys and Edmonton.

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 Power Play – Ryan O’Reilly/Gustav Nyquist/Filip Forsberg/Colton Sissons/Roman Josi: This unit comes in just outside the top 10 in the league, and faces a middle of the pack PK in Anaheim tonight. Anaheim takes the most penalties per game in the league, so there should be plenty of chances for this unit tonight.

Arizona Coyotes 3 – Jack McBain/Matias Maccelli/Dylan Guenther: This is a nice value play tonight, as this line should see the third line for the Bruins tonight in a solid matchup. There is a bunch of risk here, but if they hit for one or two at virtually no ownership, you will be in a good spot.

Seattle Kraken 2 – Alex Wennberg/Jaden Schwartz/Brandon Tanev: This line is in a good spot tonight against Buffalo. They should see the second line for the night, setting them up for a great matchup. Make sure Schwartz is in fact back in tonight.

Calgary Flames 1 – Elias Lindholm/Yegor Sharangovich/Jonathan Huberdeau/Rasmus Andersson: The Flames are in a good spot tonight, and this top line should see their share of chances. There isn’t a ton of specific line matching here, which is what makes them high risk.

Winnipeg Jets 3 – Adam Lowry/Mason Appleton/Nino Niederreiter: This line takes the top opposing line when they are on home ice, setting them up for a nice little matchup tonight.
