Another Monster NHL Tuesday slate
It’s Tuesday so that means another gigantic slate of games in the NHL tonight. We have eleven games on the schedule so there’s no time for me to ramble on, let’s just get into it!
NHL DFS: Goalies
Cash game/Single Entry
- Darcy Kuemper/Pavel Francouz (@ LA): Whoever starts for the Av’s on Tuesday is my top play in net. Los Angeles does have some firepower, but they are not an offensive juggernaught. Since the start of February, LA has averaged 3.1 goals per game (15 games), but they are averaging 34.6 shots on goal during that same stretch. I like the odds of a 35+ save performance and win for the Av’s goalies on Tuesday.
- Igor Shesterkin (vs Anh): Anaheim has been just brutal during their four game road trip, losing all four games. During this losing streak, Anaheim has scored just eight goals and has allowed an average of 32 saves per game.
- Sergei Bobrovsky (@ SJ): Another expensive goalie in another great spot. San Jose is pathetic offensively, averaging just 2.3 goals per game in their last 13 games. The only worrisome thing about the Sharks is that they also don’t shoot much so the save opportunities are limited for Bob in this game.
Other Options: Linus Ullmark (Bos), Thatcher Demko (Van), Mikko Koskinen (Edm)
GPP Plays
- Ilya Sorokin (@ Was): In his last nine starts Sorokin is 6-1-2 with just 16 goals allowed for a 1.77 GAA. During that same nine game stretch, Sorokin is also averaging just under 30 saves per game (29.4). I know Washington can be a dangerous team offensively, but with how good Sorokin is I am willing to take that chance on Tuesday.
- Connor Hellebuyck (vs VGK): Vegas has been reeling of late, losing seven of their last ten games. During this horrid stretch of games, the Golden Knight have averaged just 2.3 goals per game while allowing 34.9 saves per game. Hellebuyck has had a rough season, but this is a matchup that I just can’t ignore.
Other Options: Sam Montembault (Mtl), Tristan Jarry (Pit), Jake Oettinger (Dal)
NHL DFS: Slate Overview
When it comes to a slate like this, there is no need to be cute or worry about ownership. We have 11 games, 22 teams, and about 198 forwards in play on this slate. Ownership will not be an issue. You can go ahead and build lineups with the top lines that we love to play, Colorado, Pittsburgh, Florida, and Edmonton. You can also stack the Dallas and Toronto game because we know how porous the Leafs D has been. All those teams’ top lines are in play and will be in my lineups most likely. The issue will be how do you fit them into your lineups together. A couple of those teams have some decent value plays to stack, mainly Florida, but outside of the Panthers, I don’t want much of the value from those teams. My goal today will be to point out a few of the best value stacks to go with the lines we love to play.
Boston Bruins Line 3 vs Chicago:
Trent Frederic/Charlie Coyle/Craig Smith
Of course, the Bruins’ top two lines are in play tonight, but those lines have not been nearly as productive as this line and I would prefer to stack the top lines mentioned above over them. Boston’s third line has been on a roll lately and I don’t see the Blackhawks slowing them down. Craig Smith has eight points in his last five games, seven of which have been goals. Both Coyle and Frederic have six pints during the same five games and all three are averaging over 13 minutes of ice time per game. This stack is still cheap, especially on DK where they will only cost you $8.9K in salary combined. I like playing all three of these guys, or even just as a two-man salary saver stack. You can add a defenseman to a two-man as well, both Connor Clifton and Mike Reilly are cheap and have been productive with shots on goal and blocked shot points of late.
***Please remember, when I say add a defenseman this does NOT mean play this as a four-man stack. There are 11 games on this slate, there is no reason to play more than three players from one team***
Monreal Canadiens Line 1 vs Arizona:
Mike Hoffman/Nick Suzuki/Brendan Gallagher
The Coyotes played last night with Scott Wedgewood tending the goal, which means Montreal should see Vejmelka in net so it is all systems go for the Habs tonight. Montreal’s top line doesn’t really fit the value category for me, but they are cheap enough, especially the wings, that you can make this work. Both Gallagher and Hoffman are in the low $3K salary range on DK. Hoffman has been the more productive of the two with six points in the last five games while Gallagher has been peppering goalies with 3.1 shots on goal per game in his last nine games and he has either hit the 5+ bonus or missed by 1 shot in five of those nine games. Meanwhile, Nick Suzuki is the expensive piece of this stack, but he has nine points (five goals) in his last five games and averaging 3.2 SOG. Similar to the Boston stack, you can use just two pieces here with a defenseman, I recommend either Jeff Petry or Chris Wideman. Both are cheap (on DK) and have been putting of fantasy points. Ben Chariot is the best play, but he is pricey on DK, but he is actually cheaper than Petry on FD so he is the better play there.
