This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 2/11 on DraftKings and FanDuel. Both sites have fairly different scoring formats, particularly with the recent changes on DraftKings. We consider tournament tactics, statistics, pricing, and attempt to tackle this highly variable Daily Fantasy format so we can gain an edge on the field at large. BE SURE to double-check both regular and power play lines at both morning skate and before lock as they can drastically change from the time of publication.

Top Expensive Line

Toronto One – Auston Matthews, Mitchell Marner, Andreas Johnsson

This a large slate and there are a number of top options to choose from. It is likely that the Avalanche will be the most popular. The Avs 4.16 projected goal total and -280 money line status should sway most people their way. However, keep in mind, it has not been the first line simply doing all the work for Colorado, as has been the case in seasons past. Furthermore, if you try to squeeze all three Colorado skaters, you will feel a bankroll pinch.

With the inclusion of value skater Andreas Johnsson, Toronto simply gives you more bang for your buck. The Maple Leafs 3.5 implied goal total is good for the third-highest on the slate, just below the Avs and slightly under Buffalo’s 3.59. I know they are hosting the Red Wings, but I probably don’t have to tell you how I feel about the Sabres. Not mentioning them was a very intentional omission on my part.

Top Value Line

Colorado Two – Nazem Kadri, Andre Burakovsky, Valeri Nichushkin

As noted above, the Avalanche have been getting production from their depth lines, starting with the second line. This line has eleven full line goals over their last ten games, good for a tie for second in the NHL during that span with Edmonton’s second line, and just one beneath the Tampa Bay Lightning’s top unit, which is in first. Combining them with Toronto One would give you a piece of two of the three big total games. I also like the Winnipeg depth lines in terms of the search for value, but they are tournament only for me.
