This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 2/7 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 Line Expensive Line
New York Rangers One – Mika Zibanejad, Chris Kreider, Pavel Buchnevich
The Rangers recently shook their lines up and as a result, they have left Artemi Panarin with little assistance on the second line. As a result, he has gone cold over his last few games. Meanwhile, with the return of Chris Kreider from an injury scare, this line has become the driving force behind the Rangers offense. They will play host to a struggling Buffalo Sabres team traveling to Madison Square Garden on the second night of a back to back. Last night, the Sabres lost to the pitiful Red Wings as their fans booed them off into the locker room. Carter Hutton has been nothing short of atrocious in net since taking over and the Rangers should be able to absolutely smash him. I think that Toronto’s top line will be more popular but they are also even more cost-prohibitive.
Top Value Line
Columbus One – Oliver Bjorkstrand, Pierre Luc-Dubois, Gustav Nyquist
The Red Wings beat up the sucky Sabres last night, I guess every dog has his day. However, now Detroit travels to Columbus and karma should even out here. The Blue Jackets are a -225 home favorite, just short of Toronto’s -230 for the title of the largest favorite on this four-game slate. However, unlike Toronto where there are two lines doing most of the damage right now, with Columbus we can focus on the top line. Oliver Bjorkstrand, in particular, has been a man possessed as of late and should be extremely popular on both sites. They are still far too affordable for their consistency and upside, and now they get the perfect matchup with the Red Wings on a back to back.

Oliver Bjorkstrand, Mika Zibanejad, Auston Matthews – Over 2.5 Points – The daily 2.5 point bet looks like it will be down to 27/39 unless Leon Draisaitl somehow saves it after only one point from Nathan MacKinnon and a Jack Eichel bust. Tonight the goal is to get a piece of a few different games and I think that this lineup above accomplishes that.
