NHL DFS The Daily Hot Shot for DraftKings and FanDuel (Mar. 2)

This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 3/2 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

Colorado One – Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog, Valeri Nichushkin/Andre Burakovsky

Andre Burakovsky looked like he was going to play Saturday but was scratched right before lock after having played the night before. If he is back, it will only serve to improve this line. However, I think that they should be okay as is, given the fact that they will be facing the worst team in the league on a two-game slate! There’s really nothing more to say about the Red Wings. If I were to say something nice about Detroit, it would be that the regular season will be over within just over a month.

The Colorado top-line trio will be the most popular line on the slate by a wide margin and should be a staple of cash games and a core piece for tournaments, paired with a more contrarian line. The Avalanche are a massive -320 favorite and their first unit would be the top line on a much larger slate as well.
