NHL DFS The Daily Hot Shot for DraftKings and FanDuel (Feb. 28)

This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 2/28 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 Two Lines

Las Vegas One – Max Pacioretty, Mark Stone, William Karlsson

This line has been making the article a lot as of late, but there is a good reason why. The Golden Knights are the biggest favorites on the slate, coming in at -250. Max Pacioretty scored the other night but the other two underwhelmed in a Vegas loss. However, this might be the bounce back and I expect them to be very popular on what is a relatively small slate. Buffalo will be making the trip out West and given the affordability this line still offers, I like them the best if looking to roll out a full line.

Pittsburgh Penguins – Evgeni Malkin, Bryan Rust, Patric Hornqvist

By bumping up Patric Hornqvist, this line has easily morphed into the best line on the Pens right now. Pittsburgh is a -175 favorite despite traveling all the way to Southern California. On FanDuel, this is the line I would build around and in tournaments, you can mix and match them. Given the affordability of two of the three skaters, It will not be hard to be able to pair them with some of the slate’s more expensive lines.
