Seven games on the slate tonight to kick off a holiday week. The front part of the week is a little bit busy, but it means that we have decent sized slates, which makes it a little more fun. Let’s look at the best NHL DFS plays for tonight. Good luck!

Goalies

Dan Vladar- Calgary Flames: The Flames are finally starting to turn it around a little bit, and Vladar has been solid over his last five. Expect this one to be a bit of a grind, but a decent spot for him nonetheless.

Linus Ullmark – Boston Bruins: Ullmark gets a road matchup with the Bolts tonight in a risky but interesting matchup. The Bolts’ offense has gone ice cold recently, so this is a good place to attack them.

Scott Wedgewood – Dallas Stars: Wedgie has some very solid looking numbers, and should see a decent amount of shots tonight. This is a nice upside spot for him.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Sergei Bobrovsky – Florida Panthers: The Panthers host the Oilers tonight in a high event matchup. Bobrovsky has been decent of late and should see a ton of shot volume. If he can keep the Oilers in check, he is in for a big night.

Others to Consider: Igor Shesterkin (NYR), Thatcher Demko (VAN)

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).

Vancouver Canucks Power Play – Elias Pettersson/JT Miller/Brock Boeser/Andrei Kuzmenko/Quinn Hughes: The third ranked PP unit in the league versus the 29th ranked PK unit? A team that takes the 8th most penalties in the league, and is dead last in high danger chances against? That is a recipe for success. This unit will be chalky, and there is very good reason why. Ride them confidently. Wanna get a little weird with it? Vancouver 3 is a FANTASTIC play tonight and a way to get off of this chalk. The only issue is that the power play unit is where the bulk of the scoring comes from, and that should continue 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).

Arizona Coyotes 2 – Nick Bjugstad/Lawson Crouse/Matias Maccelli: This line should see a bit of the top line for the Kings, which is a solid matchup. However, this is the first game on home ice with Hayton out, so we have to see how they run their matchups, making them a high risk candidate.

Los Angeles Kings 2 – Phillip Danault/Trevor Moore/Kevin Fiala: LA is one of the more prolific scoring teams in the league, but they are very hard to predict. They have 3 scoring lines that can do it night in and night out. On a night like tonight, the matchups will likely be scrambled, but this one is a nice one. LAK1 is in a great spot as well.

Boston Bruins 2 – Charlie Coyle/James van Riemsdyk/Trent Frederic: This line has been solid of late, and has a decent matchup again tonight, but expect this game to be fairly tight.

Colorado Avalanche 2 – Ryan Johansen/Tomas Tatar/Jonathan Drouin: The Avalanche have a date with the Predators in Nashville tonight, and this line should be matched up with the depth for the Preds in a really nice looking matchup.

Florida Panthers 1 – Anton Lundell/Carter Verhaeghe/Sam Reinhart: This is a solid line, even without Barkov, that gets a solid matchup against the McDavid line. Lundell has been playing really well, hence the promotion to the top line. This one might fly under the radar.
