NHL NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and Fanduel (Dec 30) Jared Levitt 4 months ago written by Jared Levitt Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot, where I’ll go through the top NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel. It’s Saturday and that means we have ourselves a nice-sized slate of NHL DFS. Tonight, the NHL schedule makers have blessed us with a very manageable 7 games. While it’s manageable, it’s a tough slate on paper as there are really only 2-3 games that have blowout potential per Vegas. We have a bunch of teams battling that are close in the standings. Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money! NHL DFS Goalies Jake Allen vs. Florida Panthers If you’ve followed my writings, you know that the one thing I love to do is chase cheap goaltending. Tonight will be no different as I’m going to be chasing Jake Allen tonight. Allen hasn’t played much over the last few weeks, just 2 games to be exact. In those 2 games, however, he’s been very solid with a .938 save % and just a 2.01 GAA. Those are great numbers, and they’re even better when you factor in his $7k price tag. Is he a sure thing? Very far from it. The Florida Panthers are a dynamic offense that can score in bunches. Just take last night against the Rangers for instance as they scored 4 against Quick. That said, they played a tough one last night and could be a little tired tonight. I’m willing to take the chance with a $7k goaltender this evening. He’s best reserved for GPP’s. Joel Hofer vs. Pittsburgh Penguins Staying with the theme of cheap goaltending, I’m going to bring Joel Hofer into my bin of goaltenders tonight. He too checks off some boxes for me. He’s cheap and playing extremely well right now. Over the last 3 weeks, Hofer has played in 3 games. He’s posted a .966 save % and has allowed just 1.22 goals per game. For a goaltender that’s just $7.1k tonight on DK, those are exceptional numbers. Like Allen, he doesn’t come without risks this evening. Pittsburgh is playing some of their best hockey of the season as they’ve gone 3-1-1 over their last 5, while scoring 3.2 goals per game. Something working in Hofer’s favor though is that they are also taking around 32 shots per game. That means he’ll have a great chance of returning value in this one. He’s also best reserved for GPP’s. Other goalies: Pyotr Kochetkov and Anthony Stolarz NHL DFS Stacks – Main Pittsburgh 1 (Crosby, Guentzel, Rakell) vs. St. Louis Blues If you aren’t playing Hofer in net tonight, I highly recommend the top line for Pittsburgh tonight. Vegas has Pittsburgh currently at 3.6 goals tonight and that trails only Florida. The Blues have been about average of late as they’ve allowed 3 goals per game over the last couple of weeks. Nothing awful, but this shows that the Penguins can squeak a few by the Blues tonight in this one. This top line for Pittsburgh has been playing great. Over their last 3 games, they have combined to score 3 goals and have also played pretty strong defensively. They also have a very strong 47 SATF over those 3 games. Only a few lines playing tonight have stronger numbers than them. The player I’ll be building around first in this line will be Jake Guentzel. He’s been the top player as he’s scored 3 and helped on another 3 over his last 5 games. He also has a very strong 23-scoring chances over those 5. He has upside at his $7.6 salary tonight. Next up I’ll either go full stack with deploying Crosby and Rakell. Rakell’s price tag of just $3.8k tonight will make it much easier to go full stack and that’s how I’m trending right now. Both Rakell and Crosby have very similar numbers over their last 5, making it easier to make the full stack viable. 18 scoring chances over 5 games for a guy that’s below $4k is very strong. Carolina 1 (Aho, Svechnikov, Teravainen) vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Vegas has this game fairly close, with the Maple Leafs having a slight edge in goals with 3.4 for them vs. 3.3 for the Hurricanes. I just don’t see it. I see Carolina taking this one tonight with ease. The Maple Leafs are coming off a brutal loss last night to the Blue Jackets in 6-5 OT thriller. They are just not a good defensive team. Over the last 2 weeks, they’ve averaged giving up over 4 goals per game. That’s horrendous, and it very much brings the Hurricanes into play tonight. My lean right now is this top line for Carolina. They’ve been good over the last 3 games, scoring a combined 3 goals. If we go out a little further, we have to love what we see out of Svechnikov as he has 5 goals and 3 assists over his last 5 games. He’s also been taking on average 3 shots on net per game. He’ll be my core to this Hurricanes stack as his price tag of $5.2 is very fair this evening. The leader of this line though is Sebastion Aho. He’s been marvelous over his last 5 games. No player skating tonight has more points over their last 5 games than Aho as he has 12 points over those 5. It’s mostly been assists as he has 10 over those 5 games. With his recent production, his $7.2k price tag is also very fair. I may just go in a 2-man stack on this one as Teravainen doesn’t bring much in the way of fantasy production. You could easily bring in someone like Bunting to make it more of a power play stack and he’s also significantly cheaper at just $3.6k. Other stacks I like tonight: New Jersey 1 vs. Boston (this Boston team has some holes in their D) Boston 1 vs. New Jersey Florida 1 and 2 vs. Montreal Toronto 1 vs. Carolina LA 1 and 2 vs. Edmonton Edmonton 1 vs. LA Value D Matt Roy – $3.9k Mattias Ekholm – $4k Hampus LIndholm – $3.2k Erik Cerniak – $2.7k NHL DFS Summary This is a tough slate tonight and one that I would recommend taking it lightly. With DK contests on the lower end, it’s a night to not go crazy with your bankroll. Both the top lines for Pittsburgh and Carolina fit perfectly tonight if you’re willing to roll out some value D tonight. I will be. Join me for the ride.

NHL NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and Fanduel (Dec 23) Jared Levitt 4 months ago written by Jared Levitt Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot, where I’ll go through the top NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel. It’s Saturday and that means we have ourselves a healthy-sized slate of NHL DFS. We have 12 games on tap tonight in what should be a high-scoring affair. There are several top offensive teams in glorious matchups tonight. Toronto, Colorado, and Vancouver are in better-than-normal spots and we’ll need to figure out which expensive stack to use. Let’s dig in and make some money! NHL DFS Goalies Jacob Markstrom vs. Los Angeles We have a collision of 2 things we are looking for when picking a goalie. A goalie that is hot and a team that isn’t scoring much in the way of goals. The KIngs offense has pretty much disappeared over the last couple of weeks as they’re scoring just 2 goals per game over their last 6 games. We’ll want to attack that and we’ll attack with a goalie who is playing very well right now and won’t break the bank. Over his last 3 games, Jacob Markstrom has a save % of .950 and has given up just 1.35 goals per game. Those are great numbers and with his price tag being just $7.5k on DK tonight, he’s very much in play. In his last 2 games, he’s scored 27.5 and 25.6 DK points. The Kings can explode at any time, but I like Markstrom’s chances tonight to get us value at his current price. Ilya Sorokin vs. Carolina Hurricanes The Islanders head to Carolina tonight to take on the Hurricanes. While the Hurricanes are favored in this one, I’m still going to take a swing at them with the Sorokin. Sorokin has been playing really well over the last few weeks and is extremely cheap tonight. HIs $7.1 price tag will allow us some payroll flexibility with the rest of our lineup. With his level of play of late, we shouldn’t lose any productivity. Over the last couple of weeks, we’ve seen him put up 23.5 DK points vs. Edmonton, 24.4 against Toronto, and 27.9 vs. Florida. He’s been able to tame some pretty potent offenses and should be able to again tonight. Other goalies: Joey Daccord, Marc-Andre Fleury, and Charlie LIndgren NHL DFS Stacks – Main Toronto 1 (Matthews, Nylander, Knies) vs. Columbus Blue Jackets On paper, there may not be a better matchup tonight than the Maple Leafs vs. Columbus. I normally try to steer away from highlighting an obvious stack like the Leafs, but it’s just a solid spot that I really just need to portray to all of you. Columbus is giving up pretty close to 5 goals per game over the last couple of weeks. They’re also giving up over 15 high-danger chances per game. They are extremely attackable right now and we’re going to do just that with one of the top goal scorers in the NHL. Over his last 4 games, Matthews has 7 goals and 3 assists for 10 points. He is playing great right now and we’ll want to make sure we have a piece of him in our lineup tonight. He’s expensive so we’ll probably need to find some crazy value elsewhere, but he’ll be worth it. His line-mates are also very much in play. William Nylander for his production and Matthew Knies for his value. If you’re playing Matthews tonight, Knies is almost a must as he’s just $3.5k on DK. He’s far from a sure thing to get to value, but his price tag alone makes him worth it. He makes paying the $10k so much easier tonight. Fading Matthews tonight is high-risk. Colorado 1 (Rantanen, MacKinnon, Nichuskin) vs. Arizona Coyotes The decision we’ll need to make tonight will be which of these top lines do we play. Do we go with Toronto vs. Columbus or Colorado vs. Arizona. My lean right now is Colorado. All 3 of these guys are on fire. While the Coyotes are better defensively than Columbus, this top line for the Avalanche is on absolute fire right now. Let’s start with the cheapest of the 3 and that’s Valeri Nichuskin. Nichuskin has arguably been the best of the 3 and he’s the cheapest at $7.3k. No one on this slate has more high-danger chances over their last 5 games than Nichuskin at 27. He’s on fire and we’ll want him in our lineups tonight. The next decision that you’ll want to make is to pick between the starts, Rantanen and MacKinnon. If I had to pick between the 2, I’d side right now with Rantanen as he’s cheaper and can still get us a boatload of points tonight. Over his last 5 games, he has 8 points thanks to his 4 goals and 4 assists. He’s $1,400 cheaper than MacKinnon tonight and that savings will go a long way to helping us build a solid lineup. Columbus 2 (Chinakhov, Voronkov, Marchenko) vs. Toronto Maple Leafs I’ve given you 2 high-priced stacks already so in order to build a solid lineup tonight, I also need to give a cheap one. The second line for Columbus will do that for us. All 3 of these guys are below $5k. They’ve combined for 3 goals over their last 3 games and have a SATF of 36. That SATF is actually one of the top numbers of any trio skating together tonight. Only a handful of lines have a better SATF than this line. It also helps that the Maple Leafs aren’t great defensively. Over the last couple of weeks, they have been challenged on the defensive front. They are giving up pretty close to 4 goals per game and have also allowed close to 36 shots on net per game. A complete game stack here is very much in play. Other stacks I like tonight: New Jersey 1 and 2 vs. Detroit Detroit 1 vs. New Jersey NYR 1 and 2 vs. Buffalo Buffalo 1 and 2 vs. NYR Van 1 and 2 vs. SJ Value D Timothy Liljegren – $3k Jackson LaCombe – $3k Ian Cole – $2.7k MIkey Anderson – $3.7k NHL DFS Summary This is a great-looking slate that we can take in several directions. The decision we’ll need to make tonight will be who of the top lines do we pick. Going with anyone from Colorado, Toronto, and Vancouver will be a great path to success. We’ll also need to make sure we pick the right value plays. Make sure to drop into Discord where we’re constantly talking about plays for every slate. Good luck and hope to see you in the green.
