This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 2/13 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
Tampa Bay One – Brayden Point, Nikita Kucherov, Steven Stamkos
The statuses of Steven Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov are an unknown as I sit and write this. The fact that they are a -200 favorite with a 3.82 implied goal total “both slate highs by a wide margin” with the assumption that they do not play, says it all. It has truly been a story of two halves for the Lightning this season, as they have been virtually unbeatable lately “9-0-1 over their last ten games”. I would expect them to be major chalk on a slate full of pick ems and tough matchups. The implied goal total would likely rise above four before game time, as I would expect either Nikita Kucherov or Steven Stamkos to return.
Top Value Line
New Jersey One – Kyle Palmieri, Jesper Bratt, Jack Hughes
The New Jersey Devils have not made this article very often if it all, but ZakPRB will be extremely satisfied tonight. The Devils are -180 favorites with a 3.43 implied goal total as they prepare to host the abysmal Red Wings. I did not want to target the Wings the other night as Buffalo has been terrible and that decision worked out. However, I think that we get back to abusing them tonight and we get to do it with a line that comes in extremely cheap considering their upside in this spot. If you were to leave one skater off, it would be Jesper Bratt, who unlike the other two skaters is not a member of the first power-play unit.
