We have another Saturday slate, so that means it’s a massive one! Tonight is a whopping 13 game slate that starts at 7pm Eastern. There are a lot of spots to look tonight, so we will try to filter them down. Let’s look at the best NHL DFS plays for tonight. Good luck!
Goalies
Alexandar Georgiev – Colorado Avalanch: The Avs host the Hurricanes tonight and this is a great upside spot. The Canes love shooting the puck, and Georgiev has some good looking numbers early on.
Sergei Bobrovsky – Florida Panthers: The Panthers host the Canucks tonight and Bob should be in a good spot.
High Risk Goalie Pick – Arvid Soderblom – Chicago Blackhawks: Chicago hosts the Golden Knights tonight and this is a very interesting spot for upside. Soderblom should see a ton of shots, and his numbers look solid early in the season. If he can keep that up, this is a great GPP play.
Others to Consider: Juuse Saros (NSH), Jeremy Swayman (BOS), Jake Allen (MON)
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).
Toronto Maple Leafs 1 – Auston Matthews/Mitch Marner/Tyler Bertuzzi: The Leafs head to Tampa tonight to take on the Lightning, who look nothing like what they have in recent years. With Vasilevskiy on the shelf, the Lightning have been giving up a ton of goals. With tonight being what should be a high event game, this is a great spot for the top Leafs line.
Colorado Avalanche 1 – Nathan MacKinnon/Mikko Rantanen/Jonathan Drouin/Cale Makar: This is a very solid matchup tonight for the top Avs line. They get a fairly decent defensive team in the Hurricanes, but this is more about the goalie matchup. Kochetkov is penciled in to start, and that is a great matchup for one of the best forward lines out there.
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).
Montreal Canadiens 1 – Nick Suzuki/Cole Caufield/Rafael Harvey-Pinard: You can sub out Harvey-Pinard here for either Monahan or Anderson to make a power play look. The Canadiens take on the Caps tonight, who have been terrible to start the season.
Winnipeg Jets 2 – Vladislav Namestnikov/Cole Perfetti/Nikolaj Ehlers: The Jets get a date with the Oilers tonight, who have been giving up tons of chances and goals. This is a very solid matchup that will be very under the radar.
Nashville Predators 3 – Tommy Novak/Luke Evangelista/Kiefer Sherwood: The Preds host the Sharks tonight, who are not a very good team. This line should see the depth who is poor defensively, so they should definitely get their chances.
