NHL DFS The Daily Hot Shot for DraftKings and FanDuel (Feb. 12)

220

This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 2/12 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

Boston One – Patrice Bergeron, David Pastrnak, Brad Marchand

The Boston Bruins will play host to the Montreal Canadiens and should be extremely popular on this small, three-game slate. They come in strong -200 favorites. One note is that Brad Marchand is primarily playing as a setup man. While there is not a huge difference in the number of shots between the three, it is both Pasta and Patrice Bergeron taking the important shots; close to 85-90% of the slapshots and other one-timers, between the three. Therefore, I don’t mind the two-man mini stack of Bergeron and Pastrnak if you are looking to get some Boston exposure but simultaneously be a bit different.

Top Value Line

Vancouver Two – Elias Pettersson, Tanner Pearson, Jake Virtanen

The Chicago Blackhawks come in on the second night of a back to back and Vancouver should be able to take advantage. The Canucks are a -155 favorite in the highest total game of the night. I would like this line a lot more with J.T. Miller in it. However, Tanner Pearson has goals in two straight games so he is finding his groove. Jake Virtanen has also been a great source of value. Elias Pettersson is the only real stud here but with all of the savings you get from the other two, it won’t be hard to afford another. Because this is the late game and the lines are particularly fluid, I would be sure to double-check the lines during the pre-game skate.

Patrick Kane, Elias Pettersson, Johnny Gaudreau – Over 2.5 Points – The daily 2.5 point bet is up to 29/44 in what has generally been an off week, as Auston Matthews bombed but Nathan MacKinnon and Jack Eichel for three points we need. One of the MacKinnon assists came really late so a total bailout. We can only choose from the two-night games in the star shootout tonight, so I would recommend playing light.
