Chris Davies This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 3/6 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
Toronto One – Auston Matthews, Zach Hyman Two Man Stack
Toronto let everyone down last night, losing to the Kings 1-0 despite being a heavy favorite. Auston Matthews, in particular, received heavy ownership and so people might pass on them tonight after getting burned. Nevertheless, Toronto once again has the highest implied goal total on the slate (3.66) and plays in one of two late games. Between factors noted above coupled with the presence of the Colorado Avalanche as a pivot in the other late game, ownership will likely be down. However, I would not run the full line as Mitchell Marner has just been consistently failing to hit value, operating primarily as a setup man. Therefore, I am only writing up the two-man, which provides you an extra wing spot to play with and salary flexibility.
Top Value Line
Chicago One – Jonathan Toews, Dominik Kubalik, Brandon Saad
This is another line that underwhelmed last night. Facing the Red Wings this should be the bounce-back spot; you already know the drill. I love Patrick Kane, but the rest of the second line is underwhelming. Meanwhile, the Blackhawks top line provides you great value. They will be extremely chalky but should still play a role in your cash games and can be paired with a more contrarian line in tournaments. Chicago has a 3.41 implied goal total, second-highest on the slate behind the Maple Leafs, and is a telling -177 favorite.
