However, this seems low for a player who has been hot in the early going. A matchup with the Red Wings on a back to back won’t hurt his chances. 1/31 NHL FanDuel Rankings Centers Connor McDavid – Edmonton – $8,800 Leon Draisaitl – Edmonton – $8,400 Nathan MacKinnon – Colorado – $8,400 Nazem Kadri – Colorado – $5,800 Pius Suter – Chicago – $3,900 Ryan O’Reilly – St. Louis – $6,200 Wingers Patrick Kane – Chicago – $7,700 Mikko Rantanen – Colorado – $7,900 Oliver Bjorkstrand – Columbus – $5,100 Jordan Kyrou – St. Louis – $3,900 Kailer Yamamoto – Edmonton – $5,300 Kirill Kaprizov – Minnesota – $4,700 Ryan Nugent-Hopkins – Edmonton – $7,100 Gabriel Landeskog – Colorado – $6,500 Andre Burakovsky – Colorado – $5,700 David Perron – St. Louis – $6,100 Defense Conor Murphy – Chicago – $4,300 Cale Makar – Colorado – $6,100 Noah Dobson – New York Islanders – $3,800 Zach Werenski – Columbus – $5,100 Mike Reilly – Ottawa – $3,800 Goalies Brian Elliott – Philadelphia – $8,100 Elvis Merzlikins – Columbus – $7,500 Jordan Binnington – St. Louis – $7,300 “If starting, unlikely on a back to back” 1/31 NHL DraftKings Rankings Centers Leon Draisaitl – Edmonton – $8,000 Connor McDavid – Edmonton – $8,500 Nathan MacKinnon – Colorado – $8,600 Sebastiano Aho – Carolina – $5,800 Aleksander Barkov – Florida – $7,200 Nazem Kadri – Colorado – $5,300 Ryan O’Reilly – St. Louis – $5,400 Brock Nelson – New York Islanders – $4,900 Joe Pavelski – Dallas Stars – $7,700 Ryan Getzlaf – Anaheim – $3,500 Wingers Patrick Kane – Chicago – $8,300 Mikko Rantanen – Colorado – $8,200 Oliver Bjorkstrand – Columbus – $4,600 Jordan Kyrou – St. Louis – $3,800 Kailer Yamamoto – Edmonton – $4,700 Jonathan Huberdeau – Florida – $6,100 Patric Hornqvist – Florida – $5,300 Carter Verhaeghe – Florida – $4,500 Andrei Svechnikov – Carolina – $6,200 Andrei Burakovsky – Colorado – $4,200 Mike Hoffman – St. Louis – $3,600 Evgeni Dadonov – Ottawa – $3,300 Brandon Saad – Colorado – $3,000 David Perron – St. Louis – $5,400 Ryan Nugent-Hopkins – Edmonton – $7,500 Defense Tyson Barrie – Edmonton – $4,100 Mike Reilly – Ottawa – $3,400 Zach Werenski – Columbus – $5,400 Keith Yandle – Florida – $4,800 Noah Dobson – New York Islanders – $4,600 Colton Parayko – St. Louis – $4,300 David Savard – Columbus – $2,900 Vince Dunn – St. Louis – $2,700 Jared Spurgeon – Minnesota – $3,900 Dougie Hamilton – Carolina – $6,300 Aaron Ekblad – Florida – $6,700 Goalies Brian Elliott – Philadelphia – $7,600 Elvis Merzlikins – Columbus – $7,500 Jordan Binnington – St. Louis – $8,100 “if starting, unlikely on a back to back” Top Point Per Dollar Line “DraftKings” Edmonton Two “Leon Draisaitl, Kailer Yamamoto, Dominik Kahun” This is a dirt cheap way to get exposure to the 1/31 NHL slate’s highest favorite by a good margin in Edmonton. Not only that, but I think this line specifically goes under owned. So you’ll have lower ownership and save money from the popular Oiler top line. However, the top two skaters in Draisaitl and Yamamoto have equal scoring odds to the top line pair of Connor McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Top Point Per Dollar Line “FanDuel” St. Louis One Two Man “Ryan O’Reilly, David Perron” – Jordan Kyrou not on second line but add him in any line you want The Blues are busy tearing up John Gibson and some Duck ass as I type this out. Anaheim should have Ryan Miller in net for this one and St. Louis should be able to continue to tear things up. David Perron seems to have sprung to life over his last few games. As for the other Blues lines, Jordan Kyrou is a mad man right now for his limited time on ice. Kyrou should be chalky in all formats. Make sure to hop in our Expert Discord Chat for FREE!
