4/1 NHL Main Slate of Games – Beginning 7 p.m. ET

*All odds and player pricing below have been obtained from DraftKings and are accurate as of the time of writing*

Florida Panthers (-215) at Columbus Blue Jackets (+185) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Carolina Hurricanes (-265) at Montreal Canadiens (+225) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Buffalo Sabres (-120) at Philadelphia Flyers (+100) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Toronto Maple Leafs (-140) at Ottawa Senators (+120) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

New York Islanders (+130) at Tampa Bay Lightning (-150) – 6 Projected Goal Total

New Jersey Devils (-315) at Chicago Blackhawks (+260) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Dallas Stars (+120) at Colorado Avalanche (-140) – 6 Projected Goal Total

San Jose Sharks (-115) at Arizona Coyotes (-105) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Anaheim Ducks (+360) at Edmonton Oilers (-450) – 7 Projected Goal Total

Los Angeles Kings (-105) at Seattle Kraken (-115) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Minnesota Wild (-105) at Vegas Golden Knights (-115) – 6 Projected Goal Total

4/1 NHL Favorite Popular Line

Florida Two – “Anton Lundell ($3,600), Matthew Tkachuk ($8,700), Eetu Luostarinen ($3,700)”

It might be chasing a bit following a Matthew Tkachuk hat trick. However, Florida finds itself in a great spot against the defensively deficient Blue Jackets. The Panthers are -215 road favorites and are coming in with a bit of momentum. On this big of a slate, I think you run this as a two-man line. Obviously, Tkachuk would be part of any two-man build. From there you could flex either or. The ownership should be fairly spread out with a bunch of big favorites on the slate. With that in mind, two-man stacks should be optimal as we attempt the “capture” method.

4/1 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line

New York Islanders One – “Pierre Engvall ($3,200), Kyle Palmieri ($4,400), Brock Nelson ($5,900)”

Call me a homer. The Islanders are +130 underdogs in a 6 total matchup. As a result, they will be very, very low-owned. However, this line is hot right now, especially Kyle Palmieri. This man usually tends to save his best work for the end of each season. So far, it seems like 2023 is no different. Much like with Florida Two above, I think once again we turn to a two-man. You would be using Palmieri along with one of the other skaters. Over the last ten games, the Islanders’ top line is eighth in the NHL in SATF “97”.

10-Day Sample Size – SATF “accounts for all shots including blocked and missed shots”

Defenseman and Goalie

Defenseman

Jake Sanderson – Ottawa – $4,800 – Thomas Chabot remains out for at least two weeks. Let’s keep the Sanderson train rolling.

Goalie

Jake Oettinger – Dallas Stars – $7,400 – Oettinger has a tough matchup with the Avalanche. However, we can expect to face sufficient shot volume. Given his stellar 2.47 GAA and .917 SV% and he has tournament-winning upside on this slate.

4/1 NHL Best Bet

New York Islanders (+130) – DraftKings – 1 Unit – Whereas Tampa has been stumbling as of late, the Islanders have been stepping their game up. Let’s take the plus odds!

3/30 NHL Main Slate of Games – Beginning 7 p.m. ET

*All odds and player pricing below have been obtained from DraftKings and are accurate as of the time of writing*

Florida Panthers (-215) at Montreal Canadiens (+185) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Columbus Blue Jackets (+350) at Boston Bruins (-435) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

New York Rangers (+110) at New Jersey Devils (-130) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Philadelphia Flyers (+135) at Ottawa Senators (-155) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Nashville Predators (+165) at Pittsburgh Penguins (-195) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Carolina Hurricanes (-215) at Detroit Red Wings (+185) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Washington Capitals (+160) at Tampa Bay Lightning (-190) – 6 Projected Goal Total

St. Louis Blues (-150) at Chicago Blackhawks (+130) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Los Angeles Kings (+135) at Edmonton Oilers (-155) – 7 Projected Goal Total

Anaheim Ducks (+260) at Seattle Kraken (-315) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Vegas Golden Knights (-190) at San Jose Sharks (+160) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

3/30 NHL Favorite Popular Line

Pittsburgh One – “Sidney Crosby ($7,500), Jake Guentzel ($7,200), Bryan Rust ($5,100)”

The Penguins are knee-deep in the playoff race, looking to maintain an edge over the Florida Panthers. They have a good chance to add some room to breathe tonight hosting Nashville. Pittsburgh is a -190 home favorite and the total is set at 6.5. In terms of peripheral stats, as of late the Pen’s top line is killing it. They lead all NHL lines in SATF over the last ten games (131). They only have three goals for their efforts but if they keep things up, should be in line for positive regression.

10-Day Sample Size – SATF “accounts for all shots including blocked and missed shots”

3/30 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line

Seattle One – “Matthew Beniers ($4,900), Jordan Eberle ($5,000), Jared McCann ($5,300)”

I guess they probably won’t be that contrarian with Seattle a -315 favorite. That said they bring some salary relief to the lineup to help offset Pittsburgh one. With 11 games tonight, we don’t have to care too much about ownership. The Kraken’s top line is fifth among all NHL lines in SATF (113) over the last ten games. When compared to most of the other lines surrounding them in the metrics, they provide immense point per dollar value. I don’t mind just running a two-man stack with Beniers and McCann if preferred.

Defenseman and Goalie

Defenseman

Jake Sanderson – Ottawa – $4,800 – Thomas Chabot is out for at least two weeks. As a result, Sanderson will be filling his role in its entirety. The Senators are -155 home favorites here facing the lowly Flyers.

Goalie

Linus Ullmark/Jeremy Swayman – Boston Bruins – $8,500/$8,300 – The Bruins are -435 favorites here. Ullmark has a 1.90 GAA and .937 save % and Swayman has a 2.21 GAA and .921 save %. Don’t overthink it.

3/30 NHL Best Bet

New York Rangers (+115) – DraftKings – 1 Unit – Let’s take the plus odds on the team playing the better hockey right now.

3/26 NHL Main Slate of Games – Beginning 5 p.m. ET

*All odds and player pricing below have been obtained from DraftKings and are accurate as of the time of writing*

Boston Bruins (-105) at Carolina Hurricanes (-115) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Vancouver Canucks (-170) at Chicago Blackhawks (+145) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Toronto Maple Leafs (-170) at Nashville Predators (+145) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

St. Louis Blues (+170) at Los Angeles Kings (-200) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

3/26 NHL Favorite Popular Line

Los Angeles One – “Anze Kopitar ($6,300), Adrian Kempe ($6,200), Quinton Byfield ($3,400)”

The King’s top line has put up some stunning peripheral numbers as of late. L.A. is the biggest favorite of the night, coming in at -200 hosting the Blues. The total is set for 6.5 and it seems like a great spot for this line to keep rolling. Currently, they are tied for first among NHL lines in goals scored and are first in SATF “130” over the last ten games.

10-Day Sample Size – SATF “accounts for all shots including blocked and missed shots”

3/26 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line

Vancouver Two – “J.T. Miller ($6,700), Brock Boeser ($4,800), Phil Di Giuseppe ($3,100)”

The Canucks are in a good spot on this slate as -170 favorites against Chicago. The top line for Vancouver should be more popular. For that reason, it makes all that much more sense to pivot to the second line instead. As you can see from the graphic above, they are tenth in the NHL in SATF over the last ten games.

Defenseman and Goalie

Defenseman

Tyson Barrie – Nashville – $4,700 – Still the biggest beneficiary of Roman Josi’s absence at a relatively low price.

Goalie

Kevin Lankinen – Nashville – $7,300 – Decent numbers on the year, cheap, and should face sufficient shot volume. Lankinen is worth a shot here.

3/26 NHL Best Bet

Boston (-105) – DraftKings – 1 Unit

Let’s get ready for an eleven-game slate with everything from -410 favorites to even money seven total matchups.

Aside from reading the 3/23 NHL DFS article, don’t forget to check out our NHL DFS Projection Model which is available every morning. If you like what you see, sign up for more Win Daily content here.

3/23 NHL Main Slate of Games – Beginning 7 p.m. ET

*All odds and player pricing below have been obtained from DraftKings and are accurate as of the time of writing*

Toronto Maple Leafs (-110) at Florida Panthers (-110) – 7 Projected Goal Total

Montreal Canadiens (+330) at Boston Bruins (-410) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

New York Rangers (+125) at Carolin Hurricanes (-145) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Tampa Bay Lightning (-145) at Ottawa Senators (+125) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Chicago Blackhawks (+205) at Washington Capitals (-245) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

St. Louis Blues (+115) at Detroit Red Wings (-135) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Seattle Kraken (-135) at Nashville Predators (+115) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Vegas Golden Knights (+115) at Calgary Flames (-135) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Pittsburgh Penguins (+135) at Dallas Stars (-155) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Winnipeg Jets (-225) at Anaheim Ducks (+190) – 6 Projected Goal Total

San Jose Sharks (+140) at Vancouver Canucks (-165) – 7 Projected Goal Total

3/23 NHL Favorite Popular Line

Dallas One – “Roope Hintz ($6,800), Joe Pavelski ($6,000), Jason Robertson ($8,100)”

Jason Robertson has blossomed into an elite star and this line is in fine form. Dallas One is fourth among all NHL lines in SATF over the last ten games. Tonight, they will get to host a flailing Penguins team arriving in Dallas on the second night of a Western Conference road trip back-to-back. With Tristan Jarry in the net for Pittsburgh against the Avalanche, the Stars should be squaring off with Good ol’ Casey DeSmith; always a fine punching bag to target. I say “should” as DeSmith is allegedly dealing with stomach issues, so we might get Jarry on a back-to-back which isn’t half bad either. All three skaters feature on the Star’s top powerplay unit and this game is set for a 6.5 total “Dallas are currently -155 money line favorites”. After Pittsburgh found a way to win against Colorado, they may find themselves a bit exhausted when thrown right back into the fire.

10-Day Sample Size – SATF “accounts for all shots including blocked and missed shots”

3/23 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line

Seattle One – “Matthew Beniers ($4,100), Jordan Eberle ($3,800), Jared McCann ($5,300)”

I’m a sucker for form so I don’t mind taking a shot on Seattle One on a slate where they might go overlooked. As you can see from the chart above, they are third in the NHL in SATF over the last ten games. The Kraken are -135 favorites despite traveling to Nashville. Jusso Saros just has not been the same goaltender this season for the Predators. I wouldn’t go with them in a smaller field tournament but think they’re worth a shot as a large field play. The fact they are so cheap allows you to really stack up elsewhere.

Defenseman and Goalie

Defenseman

Rasmus Sandin – Washington – $4,600 – The Caps are -245 favorites facing the abysmal Blackhawks. As long as he keeps occupying the John Carlson role for under-market value, let’s keep locking him in.

Goalie

Linus Ullmark/Jeremy Swayman – Boston Bruins – $8,500/$8,300 – The Bruins are -410 favorites here. Ullmark has a 1.95 GAA and .937 save % and Swayman has a 2.20 GAA and .920 save %. For the difference in price between them and other top goalies, it makes sense. This matchup has shutout win potential.

3/23 NHL Best Bet

Toronto (-110) – DraftKings – 1 Unit – This might be the bounce-back spot for the Leafs.

The regular season continues to wane down with a four-game Sunday NHL DFS slate.

Aside from reading the 3/19 NHL DFS article, don’t forget to check out our NHL DFS Projection Model which is available every morning. If you like what you see, sign up for more Win Daily content here.

3/19 NHL Main Slate of Games – Beginning 7 p.m. ET

*All odds and player pricing below have been obtained from DraftKings and are accurate as of the time of writing*

Nashville Predators (+160) at New York Rangers (-190) – 6 Projected Goal Total

New Jersey Devils (+120) at Tampa Bay Lightning (-140) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Winnipeg Jets (-125) at St. Louis Blues (+105) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Vancouver Canucks (-130) at Anaheim Ducks (+110) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

3/19 NHL Favorite Popular Line

New York Rangers Two – “Vincent Trocheck ($5,400), Chris Kreider ($5,600), Patrick Kane ($6,100)”

The Rangers have been on a roll since beefing up their lineup. They are 7-2-1 over their last ten and come into this one after smashing the Penguins 6-0 on Saturday. The peripheral stats on either of the main three lines are surprisingly not very strong. However, New York -190 favorites here and red hot, I don’t think we need to really go there. It just comes down to which line makes sense for you. My personal preference is to use the second line. They are affordable and unlike the first feature two top power-play unit skaters.

3/19 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line

Vancouver One – “Elias Pettersson ($8,000), Andrei Kuzmenko ($5,400), Anthony Beauvillier ($4,300)”

This line is fifteenth among all NHL lines in SATF with 93 over their last ten games. That’s fairly impressive considering how short of a timeframe Anthony Beauvillier has been in town for. The Canucks have a juicy matchup here against the hapless Ducks where they’re favored (-130) with a 6.5 total. I don’t think they will be that “contrarian” so to speak. However, I do think they fit the bill for a strong second line that you can weave into your DFS lineup.

10-Day Sample Size – SATF “accounts for all shots including blocked and missed shots”

Defenseman and Goalie

Defenseman

Tyson Barrie – Nashville – $4,400 – If Roman Josi is out “likely as he left early on Saturday”, I’d expect a huge bump in role for Tyson Barrie. Now he can’t fully fill Josi’s shoes, but he is also only $4,400 and not $9,200. If spending up, Adam Fox has a correlation with the Ranger’s second line listed above not just on regular ice but with Trocheck and Kane on the power play as well.

Goalie

Andrei Vasilevskiy – Tampa Bay Lightning – $7,600 – With so many games taking place on Saturday, today’s slate is chock full of backup goalies. However, we have one of the world’s best goaltenders in a game where his team is a -140 favorite and he’s sub $8,000. If you need to save even more, St. Louis rookie Joel Hofer is scheduled to make his second start for $7,100. However, we can swallow the extra $500 for Vas’s experience.

3/19 NHL Best Bet

Vancouver (-130) – DraftKings – 1 Unit

With less than a month left in the regular season, there won’t be too many huge slates like tonight’s slate. Of the eleven games, only three have totals set at six, indicating we should be in for a lot of goals.

3/16 NHL Main Slate of Games – Beginning 7 p.m. ET

*All odds and player pricing below have been obtained from DraftKings and are accurate as of the time of writing*

Montreal Canadiens (+295) at Florida Panthers (-360) – 7 Projected Goal Total

Pittsburgh Penguins (+120) at New York Rangers (-140) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Tamp Bay Lightning (+115) at New Jersey Devils (-135) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Colorado Avalanche (-140) at Ottawa Senators (+120) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Chicago Blackhawks (+230) at Nashville Predators (-275) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Boston Bruins (-170) at Winnipeg Jets (+145) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Dallas Stars (+115) at Edmonton Oilers (-135) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Vancouver Canucks (-145) at Arizona Coyotes (+125) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Columbus Blue Jackets (+240) at Los Angeles Kings (-285) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Seattle Kraken (-170) at San Jose Sharks (+145) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

3/16 NHL Favorite Popular Line

New Jersey Two – “Nico Hischier ($6,800), Dawson Mercer ($4,800), Tomas Tatar ($3,700)”

You would have never thought a year ago that the Devils would be favored against the Lightning. Especially this late in the season. However, here we are. This line has been rolling for quite a while and this is a good spot to go back to the well. The peripheral stats here help to support their success “eight goals in their last ten and sixth in the NHL in SATF during that stretch”. On top of everything else, they are relatively affordable as well “partly because DraftKings hates Dawson Mercer”. I don’t mind just running this as a two-man without Tomas Tatar.

10-Day Sample Size – SATF “accounts for all shots including blocked and missed shots”

3/16 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line

Ottawa One – “Tim Stueztle ($7,100), Brady Tkachuk ($7,000), Claude Giroux ($5,600)”

The Avalanche have been in some shootouts lately. This game might be no exception and is pegged for a 6.5 total. Especially as +120 underdogs, I can’t imagine on such a large slate tons of people will be turning to Ottawa One. Nevertheless, they are eighth in the NHL in SATF “116” over their last ten games, so possess some strong peripheral numbers. As their seven goals during that span suggest, they are also transferring that production into goals. They make as good a wild card flier as any in large tournaments.

Defenseman and Goalie

Defenseman

Juuso Valimaki – Arizona – $4,100 – Valimaki is fairly cheap and quarterbacks the Coyotes’ top power-play unit. He is finally getting some production from his new role with double-digit DraftKings points in three straight.

Goalie

Linus Ullmark – Boston Bruins – $8,100 – When this guy is only the fifth most expensive goalie on a slate, you have to take a long look. His 1.97 GAA and .935 save % are pristine as was his streak of twelve straight games with double-digit DraftKings points prior to a letdown against Chicago. Here, with a six total, he is set up for a bounce back.

Igor Shesterkin – New York Rangers – $7,800 – If looking to go a bit riskier, Igor Shesterkin is also in play. Pittsburgh is putting up plenty of shots so there should be volume. This is the type of spot we shoot for a peak performance between sufficient shot volume, Igor’s skills, and the Rangers favored status.

3/16 NHL Best Bet

Dallas (+115) – DraftKings – 1 Unit – The Stars are hot right now, it makes their status as an underdog here juicy.

Carolina Hurricanes (-110) at New Jersey Devils (-110) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Winnipeg Jets (+165) at Tampa Bay Lightning (-195) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Minnesota Wild (-210) at Arizona Coyotes (+170) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Nashville Predators (-165) at Anaheim Ducks (+140) – 6 Projected Goal Total

3/12 NHL Favorite Popular Line

Tampa Bay One – “Brayden Point ($7,300), Nikita Kucherov ($7,700), Brandon Hagel ($5,000)” (Steven Stamkos injured on Saturday as of the time of writing)

With Connor Hellebuyck starting in net for the Jet Saturday “and getting pummeled with shots as of the time of writing”, Tampa will avoid him. This game is only set for a six total but the Lightning are also -195 money line favorites. Brandon Hagel has gone cold as of late whereas Kuch is red hot. Therefore, you can make the argument to run this as a two-man stack. That said, I would assume he jumps back up to the top line with Steven Stamkos’s injury Saturday night. That sort of move will certainly help to get him going if nothing else will.

3/12 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line

Carolina One – “Sebastian Aho ($7,000), Andrei Svechnikov ($6,800), Seth Jarvis ($4,500)”

They always seem to let us down in top matchups where they are heavily favored as they were on Thursday night. However, I don’t mind going back to well here. My hope is that they put up the sort of production that their recent peripheral stats would indicate they’re capable of. They are tied for the NHL lead in SATF over their last ten games.

10-Day Sample Size – SATF “accounts for all shots including blocked and missed shots”

Defenseman and Goalie

Defenseman

John Klingberg – Minnesota – $4,200 – Cheap price for the quarterback of the Wild’s power play unit. Klinger’s price should shoot up further as he gets acclimated to his new digs. On this slate, Minnesota is heavily favored against the Coyotes, so good spot.

Goalie

Juuse Saros – Nashville Predators – $8,100 – Saros has been much better as of late, with double-digits DraftKings points in five of his last six games. He draws a six total game tonight against the hapless Ducks.

3/9 NHL Main Slate of Games – Beginning 7 p.m. ET

*All odds and player pricing below have been obtained from DraftKings and are accurate as of the time of writing*

Dallas Stars (-150) at Buffalo Sabres (+130) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Philadelphia Flyers (+290) at Carolina Hurricanes (-350) – 6 Projected Goal Total

New York Rangers (-265) at Montreal Canadiens (+225) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Ottawa Senators (+120) at Seattle Kraken (-140) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

3/9 NHL Favorite Popular Line

Carolina One – “Sebastian Aho ($6,800), Andrei Svechnikov ($6,500), Seth Jarvis ($4,400)”

The Hurricanes are the biggest favorite of the night at -330. Carter Hart has been nothing but hot garbage as of late. As a result, the Canes’ top line makes a lot of sense here tonight. I made the mistake of leaving off Seth Jarvis last time I rolled this line a while back “and of course, he had a low-owned hat trick”. I’ll try not to make that mistake again despite the size of this slate leading to more two-man builds. As far as both actual goals and peripheral stats, they have been on fire as of late. They lead all NHL lines in goals scored with ten over their last ten games and are third in SATF with 166.

10-Day Sample Size – Goals Scored

3/9 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line

Arizona One – “Barrett Hayton ($4,100), Clayton Keller ($6,800), Nick Schmaltz ($5,600)”

I just can’t quit the Coyotes. They’re hosting the Predators as +140 underdogs, late at night in a six-total game, so I doubt they’re on many radars. However, the numbers are still very strong and the price allows us to combine them with Carolina One. This line is still second in the NHL in goals scored as well as ninth in SATF over their last ten games. Juuse Saros has been a bit better as of late but is still prone to getting blown up.

10-Day Sample Size – SATF “accounts for all shots including blocked and missed shots”

Defenseman and Goalie

Defenseman

Rasmus Sandin – Washington – $3,700 – Stone cold chalk lock of the night with John Carlson out and a sub $4,000 price. Quarterbacking the top power-play unit with double-digit DraftKings points in four of his last five games. Set it and forget it.

Goalie

Ilya Sorokin – New York Islanders – $7,700 – Elite numbers for a moderate price. Sorokin has a road matchup against the Penguins which may be hit or miss but I expect him to face decent shot volume. The goal is to win tournaments and he has that kind of upside. He has only allowed four goals on his last 78 shots faced.

3/9 NHL Best Bet

Montreal +1.5 (-110) – DraftKings – 1 Unit – 7.26% EV on the Sharp money line.

New Jersey Two – “Nico Hischier ($6,900), Tomas Tatar ($3,800), Dawson Mercer ($4,800)

Dawson Mercer has been highlighted in a couple of other recent articles here at Win Daily and for good reason. Individually at $4,800, he remains criminally underpriced. While New Jersey Two has been outperforming its metrics a bit, the line still has strong peripheral numbers as of late. Their 89 SATF over the last ten games might only be considered “above-average” but they have been making the most of their shot attempts. They have eight goals during the span, good for a five-way tie for fourth in the NHL. The matchup here is solid as the Devils are a whopping -315 money-line favorite in a 6.5 total game in Arizona.

3/5 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line

Arizona One – “Nick Schmaltz ($6,200), Clayton Keller ($7,000), Barrett Hayton ($4,100)”

I don’t mind rolling the game stack here if using the Devils or just simply using this line if not. Arizona One’s production both actual and peripheral is top-notch as of late. As you can see from the graphic above, they are currently tied for first in goals scored over the last ten games. The Devils have allowed enough action on their end of as late with 4-3, 3-4, and 7-5 scores in three of their last four games.

Defenseman and Goalie

Defenseman

Justin Schultz- Seattle – $3,400 – Power-play role with a $3,400 price tag. This is a fairly rough slate as fat as any “value” goes at defenseman. I am not thrilled about pairing him with Georgiev but don’t expect any shutouts either.

Goalie

Alexandar Georgiev – Colorado – $7,600 – He had been in absolutely phenomenal form prior to his last outing one day before on Saturday. He was pulled from the Stars game early so he has a good shot of grabbing the start here. However, that will be a situation to monitor. I think Jake Allen may be my backup option with Carter Hart in such poor form.

3/5 NHL Best Bet

Detroit (+105) – DraftKings – 1 Unit – Let’s take the road dogs and plus money against a struggling Carter Hart.

3/2 NHL Favorite Popular Line

Los Angeles One Two Man Stack – “Anze Kopitar ($6,700), Adrian Kempe ($5,900)”

The Bruins will likely draw a bit more ownership being part of an early game. However, for the money, I like the King’s top line here. Much like Boston, they are heavy-money line favorites coming in at -240. There is a 6.5 total and there in Los Angeles, Montreal should be well out of its element. Now, on this big a slate I think the full line is a hard pass. Quenton Byfield has been doing next to nothing so even for $3,100, well, sometimes you get what you pay for. This line is currently eleventh in the NHL among lines in SATF over their last ten games but tied for second in overall goals during that span. Usually, I focus more on the peripheral stats but it’s not too bad when a line is continually finding the back of the net either!

3/2 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line

Pittsburgh One – “Sidney Crosby ($7,100), Jake Guentzel ($7,300), Rikard Rakell ($6,300)”

Pittsburgh Two – “Evgeni Malkin ($6,500), Bryan Rust ($5,100), Jason Zucker ($4,800)”

This is a rematch of Sunday’s matchup where Pittsburgh absolutely destroyed Tampa Bay. Now granted the venues have switched but given both of the Pen’s lines’ strong supporting stats, I don’t mind going back to the well. Despite the previous annihilation of the Lightning, Pittsburgh is a +140 underdog here. The top line is first among all NHL lines in terms of SATF over the last ten games and the second line comes in fifth. That said, the second line is also a bit easier on the wallet.

Defenseman and Goalie

Defenseman

Owen Power – Buffalo – $4,300 – It’s a terrible matchup, but with Rasmus Dahlin out, this is about role and price. Power now features on the top line and as the quarterback of the Sabre’s power-play unit for just over $4,000.

Goalie

Jake Oettinger – Dallas – $8,400 – Jake Oettinger has been a stud this season with a sparkling 2.30 GAA and .923 SV%. This is a cakewalk matchup against a depleted Blackhawks team. That said, he may not start as he will be on a back-to-back “and if Matt Murray starts it will be his NHL debut and yes this is a different goaltending Matt Murray!”.

If this is the case and Oettinger is out, I will probably turn to Marc-Andre Fleury ($7,700) who is in a cushy spot as well.

3/2 NHL Best Bet

Pittsburgh Penguins (+140) – DraftKings – 1 Unit – Given how good the Penguins looked against Tampa Bay on Sunday, is it too much for lightning to strike twice? Or in this case, for the Lightning to be striked twice? “HAR, HAR HAR”
