Chris Davies This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 3/3 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
Pittsburgh Two – Evgeni Malkin, Bryan Rust, Patrick Marleau
Pittsburgh has a massive 4.2 implied goal total as they play host to one of the worst teams in the league, the Senators. This should be a great spot for them to explore and as always, you’re getting a significant discount on Bryan Rust on FanDuel, where he is only $4,900. You could leave out Patrick Marleau as well and just run a two-man stack. However, using Marleau may allow you to fit another expensive line. The Pens are a solid -290 favorite and the focus should be on their top two lines.
Las Vegas One – Reilly Smith, Jonathan Marchessault, Paul Stastny
With Mark Stone injured, the other Las Vegas line isn’t the same. However, this is still a spot we want exposure to. Even sans Stone, the Golden Knights have a 3.84 implied goal total, second-highest on the slate behind Pittsburgh above. It only makes sense to turn to this trio who has been heating up as of late, to begin with, scoring six full line goals over their last ten games. Reilly Smith is separated from the other two skaters with his placement on the second power play line. However, given the amount of even-strength time they share on the top line, this isn’t a big deal.
