We had a very solid day yesterday, so why not get right back into it? Ten games on the slate tonight with a decent amount of options. Let’s look at the best NHL DFS plays for tonight. Good luck!

Goalies

Connor Hellebuyck – Winnipeg Jets: Helly gets the Stars tonight on home ice in what should be a fairly tight game. Based on the numbers, he has been keeping the Jets in games of late, and has a solid upside potential here tonight.

Filip Gustavsson – Minnesota Wild: This is a nice matchup for Gus on home ice tonight, as he gets the Blues. STL hasn’t been bad, but the Wild have been pretty good on defense, which should help the cause.

High Risk Goalie Pick – John Gibson – Anaheim Ducks: Gibson and the Ducks head to Vancouver tonight, where they face the Canucks, who have gone absolutely ice cold. They are 2-3 in their last five, but the Ducks are 0-5. This game, on the surface, looks like a blowout for Vancouver, but when you dig into the numbers, it doesn’t feel that way. Gibson has decent numbers of late, and with Vancouver struggling, this is a sneaky play.

Others to Consider: Anthony Stolarz (FLA), Juuse Saros (NSH)

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).

New Jersey Devils Power Play – Jack Hughes/Nico Hischier/Jesper Bratt/Tyler Toffoli/Luke Hughes: The Devils are back to healthy, and this is a great spot for this power play unit. They are a top five unit who get to go against the Islanders, ranked 30th in the league in penalty killing. The Isles are middle of the road as far as how often they are short-handed, so the chances will be there for these guys.

Seattle Kraken 3 – Yanni Gourde/Oliver Bjorkstrand/Eeli Tolvanen: This one is a fantastic play tonight. This line should see the second Chicago line for most of the night. That line is atrociously bad at defense in a small sample. There are a couple of things to keep an eye on here, mainly with Bjorkstrand potentially being out. If he is out, this one goes to high risk, but fire them up if the whole line is healthy.

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 3 – Alexander Kerfoot/Michael Carcone/Jason Zucker: This line should see a lot of the second Tampa line tonight on home ice. Couple that with the goalie matchup and the fact that Tampa is on the second night of a back-to-back and this line becomes very interesting with no ownership.

Pittsburgh Penguins 2 – Evgeni Malkin/Bryan Rust/Reilly Smith: This second Pens line should see a bunch of the depth for the Predators tonight in a plus matchup.

Tampa Bay Lightning 2- Anthony Cirelli/Steven Stamkos/Michael Eyssimont: In the exact same matchup as above, this line has a lot of potential themselves. The third line for Arizona gives up a lot of chances, so there is definitely some upside potential for this line tonight. Arizona’s goalie, Ingram, has some decent numbers of late, so just keep that in mind.

Minnesota Wild 1 – Marco Rossi/Kirill Kaprizov/Mats Zuccarello: The Wild haven’t been mentioned much so far this year, but for good reason. They have been pretty rough so far, and that resulted in a coaching change. With that, expect this line to come out flying in a decent matchup.
