NHLPremium NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel (Mar. 1) Joel Bartilotta 7 months ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to Wednesday's edition of Between the Benches. On this first day of March, the NHL has blessed us with a 6-game slate of NHL DFS. That's way more than we are used to on a Wednesday and this is a solid-looking slate. We'll want to keep an eye on lines as we get closer to puck drop as trades are happening and things can change in an instant. Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money. NHL DFS Goaltending Connor Ingram ($6.9K DK/$7.2k FD) vs. Dallas Stars – I'm willing to go risky with my goalie tonight, especially in this Coyotes/Stars game. The Dallas offense has not been good. Over the last 2 weeks, they're scoring just over 2 goals per game. With the number of shots that Arizona gives up plus the low shooting % of the Stars right now, there's a ton of upside in playing Ingram tonight. At his price point, we don't need much to return value and he should be able to do it with ease. Frederik Andersen ($7.8k DK/$8.2k FD) vs. ... 7 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
NHLPremium NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel (Feb. 18) Joel Bartilotta 7 months ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to this week's edition of the Saturday Slapshot. Although it's NBA All-Star Weekend, we still have a great slate of NHL DFS. This article will be focused on the 8-game main slate starting at 7 pm est. There are some great matchup tonights that we'll want to exploit. Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money. NHL DFS Goaltending Ilya Samsonov vs. Montreal Canadiens – Ilya Samsonov is currently listed as day-to-day with an illness, but should he get the nod tonight, I'm all over him. He's put together some really strong starts of late and with Matthews back in the mix, this Maple Leafs team is poised to go on a solid run. In 3 of his last 4 starts, Samsonov has been at or above 18 DK points. Look for him to continue with his strong play tonight against the Habs. Adin Hill vs. Tampa Bay Lightning - This is far from a safe pick as the Lightning offense can explode at any moment. That said, the Lightning have been struggling to find... 7 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
NHLPremium NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel (Feb. 11) Joel Bartilotta 7 months ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to this week's edition of the Saturday Slapshot. On this fine beautiful Saturday, we have a full day of hockey. This article will be solely focused on the main slate which starts at 7pm EST. We have some great games tonight so it should be a fun NHL DFS slate. Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money. NHL DFS Goaltending Joseph Woll/Matt Murray vs. Columbus Blue Jackets – With Ilya Samsanov getting the nod last night, we'll get either Joseph Woll or Matt Murray in net tonight for Toronto. I'm fine with either of them as Toronto is a massive favorite tonight against a bad Blue Jackets team. While Columbus can occasionally put up a big number, that shouldn't happen tonight against a solid Maple Leafs team. Feel confident in starting either of these guys. Connor Hellebuyck vs. Chicago Blackhawks - Another team that is a massive favorite tonight will be the Winnipeg Jets as they get to take on the lowly Chicago Blackhawks. Helle... 7 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
NHLPremium NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel (Jan. 28) Joel Bartilotta 8 months ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to this week's edition of the Saturday Slapshot. For a Saturday, we have a nice-sized 9-game slate of NHL DFS. There are some great spots for offense tonight that we'll want to take advantage of. Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money. NHL DFS Goaltending Logan Thompson ($7.6K DK/$7.4k FD) vs. New York Islanders – The Islanders' offense is a mess right now. Over the last 2 weeks, they've scored just 15 goals in 8 games. They're coming off a win last night, but they scored just 2 goals in that one. Until their offense starts clicking again, we'll want to target goalies against them. The price for Thompson is really nice as it's in the mid $7k range. That makes him playable in GPP's tonight. John Gibson ($7.8k DK/$7.6k FD) vs. Arizona Coyotes –We have a matchup here of 2 teams that have combined for 72 points. For context, the Bruins have 80 points. Neither of these offenses is any good, especially the Coyotes' offense... 8 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
NHLPremium NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel (Jan. 21) Joel Bartilotta 8 months ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to this week's edition of the Saturday Slapshot. Thanks to a small 2-game slate last night, today we're blessed with a massive 11-game slate. We'll have plenty of options today for our NHL DFS lineups. Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money. NHL DFS Goaltending Jake Oettinger ($8.5K DK/$9k FD) vs. Arizona Coyotes– The price is a bit high for me, especially on FD, but it's a great spot for Jake tonight. This is one of the more lopsided matches of the night and one we'll want to exploit with our goalie and stacks. The Coyotes just aren't scoring right now and this screams shutout potential for Oettinger. His ceiling is a bit lower than most so we'll want to reserve this play for Cash games. That said, if you have some cash left over, he's also playable in GPP's. Darcy Kuemper ($7.5k DK/$7.6k FD) vs. Vegas Golden Knights – If you're going to use a goalie on the cheaper end tonight, Kuemper should be your guy. He's on... 8 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
NHLPremium NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel (Jan. 11) Joel Bartilotta 8 months ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to Wednesday's edition of Between the Benches. A large Tuesday slate leaves us with just 4 games of NHL DFS tonight. Those 4 games however pack a massive punch and we should see a healthy amount of scoring. Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money. NHL DFS Goaltending Phoenix Copley ($8.2K DK/$8.3k FD) vs. San Jose Sharks – Have the Kings found their goalie? It sure seems like it. The 30-year old netminder has been playing some exceptional hockey over the last few weeks. Since December 6, Copley has played 13 games and has won 11 of them. His 2.56 GAA is the best of his career. He also gets a favorable matchup tonight vs. a Sharks team that is just 2-3-2 in their last 7 games. This is a great spot for Copley to continue his stellar play. Jack Campbell ($8.2k DK/$7.5k FD) vs. Anaheim Ducks– This is more of a testament to the matchup than it is to the goalie. The Ducks are a mess on both sides of the ice and o... 8 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
NHLPremium NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel (Dec. 10) Joel Bartilotta 10 months ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot. With just 5 games on tap tonight, our options are going to be somewhat limited. We also have a handful of teams playing on the tail end of a back-to-back. That said, it should be a fun slate . Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money. NHL DFS Goaltending Matt Murray ($8.1K DK/$8.4k FD) vs. Calgary Flames – The Flames showed last night that they are definitely not the same Flames team of years past. Against a poor defensive Blue Jackets team, they mustered just 1 goal, leaving plenty of NHL DFS lineups to rot. Tonight, we'll use the Flames a bit differently. We're going to attack them with a goalie. Matt Murray is coming into this game off arguably the game of his career. Against the powerful Stars team, he stopped all 44 shots on his way to a 43 DK performance. I'm not calling for a repeat performance, but we know he has upside and won't break the bank at $8.1k on DK. Murray has been strong all year ... 10 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
NHLPremium NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel (Nov. 26) Joel Bartilotta 10 months ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot. Thanks to Thanksgiving, we have a much smaller than normal 5-game Saturday slate. This is much more manageable than normal and one we should absolutely smash tonight. Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money. NHL DFS Goaltending Semyon Varlamov ($8.1K DK/$8.3k FD) vs. Philadelphia Flyers – With Ilya Sorokin playing last night, we’ll more than likely see Semyon Varlamov in the net tonight for the Islanders. He’s the clear number 2 on this team, but he gets a great matchup tonight vs. a Flyers team that is struggling to score goals right now. Over the last 2 weeks, the Flyers are scoring just 2 goals per game in the 8 games they’ve played. While Varlamov is nothing spectacular, he has put up respectable numbers this season with a 2.97 GAA and a .914 save percentage. The Islanders are big favorites tonight so there’s a solid chance that Varlamov gets the W. ... 10 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
NHLPremium NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel (Nov. 19) Allan Fabrykant 10 months ago written by Allan Fabrykant Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot. We have ourselves a massive and I mean massive 13-game slate of NHL DFS tonight. The schedule makers for the NHL have not been doing us much justice! There are a ton of teams that will be in ideal spots for offense tonight. Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money. NHL DFS Goaltending Jeremy Swayman ($8.3K DK/$8.8k FD) vs. Chicago Blackhawks – Steven Conroy of the Boston Herald is projecting that Jeremy Swayman will make his return tonight vs. the Chicago Blackhawks. Regardless of who is in the net for the Bruins tonight, I’ll be on them in cash-game lineups. The Bruins are massive favorites tonight (-410) and while whoever mans the net tonight won’t face much in the way of shots, they stand an excellent chance of getting a shutout. The Blackhawks' offense right now is just about non-existent. Over the last 2 weeks, they’ve scored just 6 goals in their last 5 games.&n... 10 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
NHL NHL DFS The Saturday Slapshot (Apr. 2) Joel Bartilotta 1 year ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to the latest edition of the Saturday Slapshot where we’ll be focusing on tonight’s 7 game main slate of NHL DFS on DraftKings and FanDuel. We’re at the point of the year where teams are either playing for their playoff lives or jockeying for position. Thankfully, hockey is not like the NBA and we rarely see major players sitting out at the tail end of the season. Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money. Goaltending Connor Hellebuyck ($7.8K DK/$7.2k FD) vs. Los Angeles Kings – We should see Hellebuyck in net tonight for the Jets in a home matchup vs. the Los Angeles Kings. Hellebuyck has back-to-back really solid outings, with 26 DK points against Buffalo and 22 points against Arizona. This is a similar match tonight for Hellebuyck as the Kings haven’t really been scoring. Over the last month, they’re scoring just 2.5 goals per game. This is a good sport for Hellebuyck to continue his solid recent play. He should be one of the top goalies on the night. Jake Oettinger ($7.9k DK/$7.5k FD) vs. San Jose Sharks – The San Jose Sharks are just not a team that should strike fear into any goaltender. Over the last month, they’re scoring just 2.6 goals per game and outside of their top line, they have very little firepower. Oettinger has been a great story for the Stars this NHL season, with a 24-11-1 record and a GAA below 2.5. He’s won 5 of the last 7 games he’s started and tonight should make it 6 of 8. Tonight with Goaltending I’m not going to stray too far from the two I mentioned. I will be locking in one of the two and just moving on. The only other goaltender I have any interest in is Jeremy Swayman, but he’s pricey on DK and I just don’t think I want to go that high for him. Stacks Toronto 1 (Matthews, Marner, Buntin) vs. Philadelphia This line is going to be chalky, there’s no denying it. The Leafs are playing a Flyers team that is giving up almost 4 goals per game over the past month. That’s laughably high and it’s something we’ll want to take advantage of tonight. There isn’t much I need to say about Matthews to try to sell you on playing him. He’s already at the 50 goal mark and he’s at the point where he’s chasing 100 points. He’s one of, if not the best player in the NHL. There isn’t much time left in the season for him to get there, but my guess is that he puts a dent into that number tonight. The duo of Matthews and Marner will be pricey tonight, but it will be well worth it. The two have combined for 19 points over their last 5 games and close to 40 scoring chances. Tampa Bay 1 (Point, Kucherov, Stamkos) vs. Montreal If you want to fade Toronto tonight, another option is Tampa Bay 1 tonight. Montreal is Montreal and they give up a ton of goals. They gave up close to 3.6 goals per game in the month of March. Brayden Point is playing some great hockey and if I do decide to fade Toronto, he’d be a priority. Over hist last 5 games he has 8 points and 20 scoring chances. Between him and Stamkos, they have 42 scoring chances, 15 of which are considered to be high danger chances. The two of them will also come at a $4k discount over Matthews and Marner, making the rest of your team solid and not having to punt as much. I think I just sold myself on playing Tampa over Toronto today. Boston 2 (Haula, Hall, Pastrnak) vs. Columbus What going to Tampa 1 allows you to do tonight is to also grab some of Boston. Boston is playing Columbus tonight and they are always someone we want to play against. In March the Blue Jackets gave up more than 4 goals per game. That’s an accomplishment not worth bragging about. I’m going down to their second line and playing Pasta and Haula. Haula is just $3.5k on DK tonight but he’s playing well above that salary. Over his last 5 games, he has 2 goals and 6 assists for 8 points. At his salary, he’s close to a free square. This line should combine to be one of the top lines on the slate as Boston obliterates Columbus. Other stacks (Dal 1, Cgy 1 and 2, Stl 1, WPG 1, Phi 1) Top Value NHL Defenseman Noah Hanifin – $3.9k on DK – Always good for a few blocked shots and shots per game. Opens up salary. Jacob Middleton – $2.7k on Dk – Back-to-back games with 3 blocks and some shots. Great value. Jaycob Megna – $2.6k on DK and continues to have no regard for his body Matt Dumba – $4.4k on DK – Double-digit points in 5 of his last 6 games. Should be over $5k. Great value. NHL DFS Summary We have some great offensive teams in just unbelievable positions tonight. Toronto is going to be extremely popular tonight. You’ll need to decide to play or fade them. If you fade, I may, Tampa is in just as good of a spot tonight and come in much cheaper. That’ll make the rest of your team that much better. Make sure to use our optimizer before setting lineups.
