NHL NHL DFS The Saturday Slapshot (Jan. 22) Joel Bartilotta 2 years ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot where I’ll be highlighting some of my top plays for tonight’s NHL DFS slate on Fanduel and DraftKings. Tonight we have a solid-looking 9 game slate. Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money. Goaltending Igor Shesterkin ($8.4k DK/$8.1k FD) vs. Arizona Coyotes – This is about as high of a salary for a goalie as I’ll go. While the Coyotes have been scoring more goals of late, it hasn’t been against the stiffest of competition. In the games they scored more than 3 goals, they were facing teams like the Canadiens and Blackhawks. Last night they were shut out by a solid defensive Islanders team. While the Rangers aren’t a defensive juggernaut, they have one of the best goalies in the NHL in Shesterkin. Since November 1, Shesterkin has just 2 games under 10 DK points. He has a .938 save % on the year and has to be in the Vezina conversation. After struggling a bit to start the game vs. Maple Leafs on Wednesday Shesterkin settled down nicely to finish the game with 35 saves and a Win. There’s a very real chance he makes the Coyotes go back-to-back games without a goal. Love the spot tonight for Igor. Jacob Markstrom ($7.7k DK/$7.8k FD) vs. Edmonton Oilers – Something is wrong with the Oilers and until they fix it, we can attack them with goalies. Over the last month, what should be a dynamic NHL offense, this team has mustered just 2.29 goals per game. Of the 18 teams on tonight’s slate, that’s the lowest number. Now some of this can be attributed to scheduling conflicts due to covid, but I’m still going to attack them until they prove me wrong. In Markstrom, we have someone that has been up and down this season. At times he’s been brutal, but at times he’s been remarkable, as evidenced by his 28 save performance vs. the Panthers team that had been coming into the game scoring goals at will. Because it’s the Oilers, this is a risky spot. That said, I do like the spot tonight and Markstrom has a chance to be one of the top goalies on the night. After those 2 goalie gets a little murky. Whoever gets the nod tonight for Minnesota should do well against a Blackhawks team that is anemic right now. Darcy Kuemper is also in a good spot tonight but he’s very pricey. I just can’t live with myself paying $8.5k for him on DK tonight. That’s just too much, even with a matchup against a poor Canadiens squad. I’d rather take my chances with Markstrom tonight. Stacks I don’t need to tell you how good of a spot it is for the Avalanche tonight. Montreal is dreadful and giving up more than 4 goals per game over their last 8 games. They are one of the worst teams in the NHL. The top line of MacKinnon, Landeskog, and Rantanen is always in play and tonight is no different. They are in a great spot tonight but are extremely pricey. If you can fit them, go for it. Calgary 1 (Elias Lindholm, Matthew Tkachuk, Johnny Gaudreau) I highlighted above that the Oilers have been struggling offensively. That actually pales in comparison to how bad they’ve been on the defensive side. Of the 18 teams on tonight’s NHL DFS slate, no team has a higher goals against average over the last month than the Oilers. As a team, you stand no chance of winning if you are giving up 4.71 goals per game. Their goalies have been atrocious as they have an 84.86 save percentage over that period. While such a low number like that isn’t necessarily sustainable and there will be regression, it’s still something that we want to attack. This top-line for Calgary is still very affordable. The most expensive player in this stack is Gaudreau at $6.7k on DK. My priorities here are going to be Tkachuk and Gaudreau. The two have combined for 14 points, 40 scoring chances, and 20 high danger chances over their last 5 games. I’m not overly interested in any of the defensemen from this team. New York Rangers 1 (Kreider/Zibanejad/Kaako) + Fox This could be the homer in me, but I love the spot for the Rangers tonight. They struggled in Carolina against the Hurricanes last night but get to go back to the Garden tonight against a much lesser opponent in the Coyotes. My priority with this stack is Kreider. He is red hot right now as he has 5 goals in his last 5 games. Over those 5 games, he has 14 high danger chances and 19 scoring chances. The duo of Zibanejad and Kreider have been extremely lethal this season and love pairing them together tonight. Carolina 2 (Trocheck/Svechnikov/Niederreiter) + Slavin My final favorite stack tonight brings us to Newark, NJ with the Carolina Hurricanes. Goaltending for the Devils has been a struggle of late as they’ve let in 3.5 goals per game over the past month. With Blackwood expected to be in the net today, I love this sport for the Hurricanes. Over his last 10 starts, he’s failed to give up less than 3 goals just once. While the Hurricanes’ offense is always tough to gauge, I really like their second line tonight. The pairing of Trocheck and Svechnikov have combined for 10 points over their past 5 games and 30 scoring chances. Slavin makes a nice compliment to this stack as he’s only $4.3k on DK and he’s getting us some ancillary stats as he’s averaging more than 4 shots + blocks per game. Other stacks (Min 1, Tor 1, Ari 2, Ott 1, Was 1, Col 2, TB 1 and 2, SJ 1) Top Value Defenseman Christopher Tanev Kris Russell David Savard Calvin De Haan Moritz Seider Ben Chiarot Adam Pelech Scott Mayfield Summary We have some solid spots to attack tonight. I didn’t write them up, but I love Minnesota again tonight. They made for a profitable night last night and get the same matchup tonight, but at home and vs. a lesser goalie. Their top line of Hartman and Kaprizov would be the place to go, but they are pricey. Another spot I didn’t write up is Washington vs. Ottawa. Ovechkin should add to his tally and get closer in his chase of the great one. There are a lot of great spots for offense tonight and it has the makings of a very high-scoring night.

NHLPremium NHL DFS The Saturday Slapshot for DraftKings and FanDuel (Jan. 15) Joel Bartilotta 2 years ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot where I’ll be highlighting some of my top plays for tonight’s NHL DFS slate on Fanduel and DraftKings. Tonight we have a solid-looking 9 game slate. Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money. Goaltending Stuart Skinner ($8.2k DK/$7.6k FD) vs. Ottawa Senators – I’ll start by saying I like the price on FanDuel a whole lot more today. That said, he’s a solid play on both sites tonight as he’s taking on a Senators squad that has an offense that is anemic at times. Over the last month, while playing sparingly, they’ve mustered just 2 goals per game. Their poor goal numbers can also be attributed to them just not getting much in the way of high danger chances as they have just 8 per game over the last month. Many of their chances are from the outside where the goalie is getting a good look. In Skinner we have someone that has performed well at both the NHL and AHL levels. In 8 games... 2 years ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
NHL NHL DFS The Saturday Slapshot for DraftKings and FanDuel (Dec. 4) Joel Bartilotta 2 years ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot. I’m Jared and I’ll be your host. Tonight we have a nice sized 9 game slate where I’ll be highlighting some of my top plays for tonight’s NHL slate on Fanduel and Draftkings. Before we dive in I want to highlight some terms you’ll see in my article that may be foreign to you: Corsi – Any shot attempt (goals, shots on net, misses and blocks) outside of the shootout Even Strength – Play where both teams have the same number of players (including goalies) on the ice. Includes 5v5, 4v4, 3v3 Power Play – Play where the team has more players on the ice than their opponent due to penalties. Includes 5v4, 5v3, 4v3 Penalty Kill – Play where the team has fewer players on the ice than their opponent due to penalties. Includes 4v5, 3v4, 3v5 Goaltending Tristan Jarry ($8k DK/$8.1k FD) vs. Montreal Canadiens – Triston Jarry is one of the hottest goalies in the game. Over his past 9 games he has a save % of .939 and has given up just 1.66 goals per game. Outside of his last game vs. an explosive Edmonton offense he had been above 20 DK points in 6 consecutive games. In a matchup against a Canucks team that is only scoring a hair over 2 goals per game, I really like Jarry’s chances of getting past his dud vs. Edmonton and back on the saddle w/ a game above 20 DK points again. There’s a strong chance for a ceiling type game from Jarry due to the Vancouver’s high shot volume and low shooing %. They are averaging 38 shots per game with just a 5.58 shooting percentage. Alex Nedeljkovic ($7.7k DK/$7.5k FD) vs. New York Islanders – The Red Wings are riding a 4 game winning streak, with a lot of it due to the solid play of Nedeljkovic. He has been superb of late. In his last 3 games he has DK points of 32, 24.8, and 40.8. The only concern with Nedeljkovic tonight is that the Islanders play at a slow pace and don’t shoot the puck much. Over their last 5 games they are averaging just 25 shots per game. That said, they’re also averaging less than a goal per game during that stretch. The Islanders are getting past their COVID issues but tonight’s not going to be their night. Look for Nedeljkovic to be one of the top goalies by the end of the night. Marc-Andre Fleury ($7.3k DK/$7.3 FD) vs. Pittsburgh Penguins – As a Rangers fan I hope I’m wrong here but I think they struggle tonight. They’re playing their third game in 4 days and are on the back side of a back to back. In Fleury we’re getting a very affordable goalie who is in the midst of a pretty good stretch of goaltending. Over his last 7 games he has .947 saver percentage and is giving up just 1.69 goals per game. With my expectation that the Rangers have some tired legs I expect Fleury to have one of his better nights of the year. Stacks Colorado 1 (Mackinnon/Landeskog/Rantanen) + Toews or Maker Colorado gets an extremely favorable matchup tonight vs. a Senators team that is giving up close to 5 goals per game over the past 2 weeks. Senators are one of my favorite teams to stack against because they are one of the bottom feeders in the NHL. Over the last 2 weeks they have a corsi % of just 41%. In comparison, the Avalanche are at 57%. Anything below 50 isn’t great, but when you are approaching 40% you’re bad. Very bad. In net for Ottawa tonight should be Filip Gustavsson. Over his last 5 games he has an .887 save % and is giving up more than 4 goals per game. This stack is extremely expensive and will be very popular. But they are in just too good of a spot to pass up. If you want to go a different route w/ Colorado tonight I do also love their second line with Kadri and Nichushkin. Both guys have been playing extremely well together and come at a fraction of the cost of the top line. Nashville 1 (Granlund/Duchene/Forsberg) + Josi or Fabbri This line is very affordable tonight on DK and gets a great matchup. Montreal is giving up close to 40 shots per game over the last 2 weeks. That’s just a ton of volume. While Jake Allen is serviceable goalie, he’s not someone that can handle that much volume without giving up a handful of goals. His GAA over his past 5 games is north of 3. This top line for Nashville is playing extremely well. Over the past 5 games Forsberg has 6 goals while Granlund and Duchene have combined for 11 points with 9 assists. They have a chance to put up a big number tonight vs. a poor defensive team. Carolina 3 (Svechnikov/Kotkaniemi/Stepan) I don’t have the warm and fuzzies about this pick, but the Sabres are just so bad right now. Over their past 7 games they have a goals against average of 5 and a corsi of 47%. That’s just downright awful. While the Hurricanes aren’t playing their best hockey right now, they have shown explosiveness in the past. There’s no better slump buster in the league than the Buffalo Sabres. Svechnikov is one of their best players and even though the team is struggling to score some goals, he’s still firing away on net. Over his past 5 games he’s averaging almost 3.5 shots per game. His line mates are extremely cheap and if Svechnikov can connect on a pair of goals tonight with them we have a chance to break away from the pack at a low cost. Carolina gets back on track tonight and puts up a very large number. Other stacks (Detroit 1, Pit 1 and 2, Min 1, Tor 1 and 2, Was 1) Top Defenseman Roman Josi – Nashville Predators Kris Letang – Pittsburgh Penguins Tyler Myers – Vancouver Canucks Seth Jones – Chicago Blackhawks Jacob Slavin – Carolina Hurricanes Adam Fox – New York Rangers Summary We have a fun looking slate tonight. 4 of the 9 games have a total of at least 6. Some of the worst defensive teams are in action tonight and I’m going to make it a point to attack them. The Toronto/Minnesota game tonight highlights two of the more solid teams in the league.

Back-to-back great nights for The Model, going 3-1 last night. The Bruins -1.5 and the Blackhawks +1.5 both at plus money hit with ease, with the Blackhawks winning outright in OT and the Bruins cruising 4-0 over the Rangers. The late add of the Habs/Leafs over was an easy hit too as there were 4 goals in the first and a 5-2 win for the Leafs cashed that. The only L was the Oilers team total over 3.5 as they lost 6-3 to the Canucks. I debated taking the game over and ultimately rode with the Oilers team over. What a schmuck I am.

The Model had yet another undefeated night going 2-0. The Capitals absolutely trounced the Bruins 8-1 and then the Isles bailed us out in OT to win 3-2 and cash both of those money lines. It is Trade Deadline day and the deals are flowing! Hall, Foligno, Rittich, Riley, and more to come as the day progresses.

The Model just had 1 play last night and it was a loser. Columbus is bad this year, losing back-to-back games against freaking Detroit. Might put Columbus on my blacklist for the season along with Montreal. Also probably should've took the Devils as a +150 dog against the Bruins. They are now 4-0-1 against Boston somehow.

A 3-0 night for The Model, and we added Blackhawks ML late to take us to 4-0. Nights like these are why we do this.

Another 2-1 night, with the biggest surprise coming in that Sabres/Rangers Under. Four goals in the first period made me think that was a lost cause, only to have one more goal scored the rest of the game and hit the under. The Penguins pumped the Flyers, it happens. And then the Jets did exactly what I thought and took care of business with another poor night from Braden Holtby.
