NHL NHL DFS Between the Benches for DraftKings and FanDuel (Oct. 20) Allan Fabrykant 2 years ago written by Allan Fabrykant We’re back with another Wednesday Night Win Daily NHL Article! I love seeing the high activity in the discord chat and the winning screenshots that have been posted lately. Let’s continue our positive trend tonight. We have a small 2-gamer for tonight’s slate. So, let’s get ready for the newest edition of WinDaily’s Between the Benches! For tonight’s 10/20 NHL slate, the slate begins at 7:30 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Let’s get into it! 10/20 NHL Stack Report Boston Bruins 1Pastrnak – Bergeron – Marchand (FanDuel: $24,000 | DraftKings: $20,600)– CASH LOCK: Ok so we can keep it really simple for this line. They are the cash line of tonight’s slate. They are one of the best lines in hockey, up there with Tampa, Toronto and Colorado’s top line. Since they are the only line near the top of the league on today’s slate, their ownership in cash games will be extremly high. (I’d assume at least 70%) Statistically, there is very good reason for this. When this line is on, they will break the slate and against a very lacklustre goalie in Jones, they are very likely to do just that. Jones had one of the worst stat lines as a goalie in the NHL last season with a 3.28 GAA and a .896 SV%. San Jose did not have the best season last year and Jones’ performances definitely did not help matters. Every member of this top line is all-star calibre but I want to point out Pastrnak in particular who not only won the Rocket Richard Trophy during the last full NHL Season (2019-2020) but he was the among the top in the scoring table in the most recent playoffs (2020-21) with 15 points in only 11 games. Also of note is that Marchand finished third in league scoring last season. With that being said, considering their price, I would try to get them all in but if you cant, prioritize Pastrnak and Marchand.Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Charlie McAvoy (FD: $6,400 | DK: $5,600) Phiadelphia Flyers 2Farabee – Brassard – Atkinson (FanDuel: $14,500 | DraftKings: $14,900)– Playing the two recommended lines together could work as an interesting game stack and the price of the Flyers second line allows you to afford the big guns on Boston’s top line. Furthermore, they have performed extremely well this season through their first two games. Together they have combined for 9 points through their first two games with four goals and five assists and their prices have remained affordable despite their success. I suspect that this line will have high ownership in today’s slate given their past performances but it is for good reason. With the whole line playing together on the Flyers second power play unit we will also have significant opportunities for this line to score and accrue points together during both even strength and during the power play.Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Ryan Ellis (FD: $5,500 | DK: $6,100)Honorable Mention(s): VGK1 (Marchessault – Karlsson – Smith), PHI1 (Giroux – Couturier – Konecny) 10/20 NHL Goalie Tracker Best (Goalies to Roster) Jordan Binnington (FD: $7,300 | DK: $7,100) Jeremy Swayman (FD: $8,000 | DK: $7,900)Honorable Mention(s): Robin Lehner Worst (Goalies to Target) Martin Jones (FD: $7,700 | DK: $7,400) 10/20 NHL Wild Card Targets DraftKings Joel Farabee (FD: $5,400 | DK: $4,400) – I don’t get it. Four points to start the season, two points in each game and DraftKings lowers his price? We’re not talking a $100 or $200 drop either. He dropped $900!!! If you’re playing on DraftKings I would scoop up Farabee immediately and build him, I doubt his price will stay here for too long. Farabee is already building on a stellar 20-goal and 38-point campaign from last year’s shortened season and tonight he is an absolute steal on DraftKings. Farabee pairs well with his aforementioned linemates on Philadelphia’s second line as well as defenseman Ryan Ellis. FanDuel Jordan Kyrou (FD: $4,600 | DK: $4,600) – For FanDuel, we have a similar situation when it comes to Jordan Kyrou. Jordan has amassed six points in just two games, including a superb four-point performance in the 7-4 barn burner against the Yotes. Kyrou’s price did go up from the last slate, but he is still very affordable for tonight’s two-gamer and when trying to fit in the juggernauts on Boston’s top line, its salary saving wingers like Kyrou who will allow you to fit them comfortably into your lineups. Kyrou pairs really well with defenseman Justin Faulk who is also reasonably priced. Kyrou will also be getting a new linemate for tonight’s game as Buchnevich is unavailable tonight after being suspended for headbutting Coyotes forward Lawson Crouse. So stay tuned for Buchnevich’s replacement as we could get another solid option that correlates well with Kyrou.Honorable Mention(s): Haula, Dadonov, Krebs, Yandle-Konecny Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’) Centre – Derick Brassard Winger – David Pastrnak Defence – Justin Faulk Goalie – Jordan Binnington 10/20 NHL Monkey Knife Fight NHL Prop Picks – Win With These Picks Here and Get 100 Percent Bonus!

NBA NBA DFS GPP Picks 10.19 Adam Strangis 3 years ago written by Adam Strangis NBA DFS GPP Picks 10.19 We have finally made it to the regular-season opener of the NBA season and we could not be more excited! There are just two games tonight to whet the appetites for the full regular season but this slate is loaded with stars. We should expect nothing less on opening night and Ghost and I will take you through it in the NBA DFS GPP Picks 10.19 so let’s get moving on this Taco Tuesday! NBA DFS GPP Picks 10.19 Before we get into the meat of the article, there are a couple of reminders for everyone. You need the ability to be present at lock for NBA. For anyone new, welcome in but be sure to understand – this is not NFL or MLB. You’re not always going to have a lot of time to react to the news. Be sure to be active in Discord where the updates are the quickest. For any Main slate that is three games or fewer this year, Ghost and I will tag-team it by answering the most pressing questions on the slate as opposed to articles in the traditional sense. Always remember if you’re playing on DraftKings, use the players with later start times in the G, F, and Utility spots. You always want the maximum flexibility possible to make changes after the initial games lock if news breaks late (and it WILL happen with NBA).Always, always remember to us the model that Ghost masterminds. He puts a ridiculous amount of work into it. I use it to make my decisions all the time. When you ask Player A or Player B in Discord, use the model. It’s not that Ghost or I don’t want to answer or chat with you guys, but that’s our guide to give you the answer. It’s going to be right WAY more than it will be wrong. Ghost’s model is the biggest tool for success of the entire season. Question 1: “Which approach are you taking when building a single lineup? Stars & Scrubs, Balanced, Game stack, etc.?” Ghost: A small slate is the one and only time that you’ll ever see me consider the mid-range on an NBA slate, but this is not one of them. There is simply too much firepower at the top of the pricing grid in a rematch of the two Eastern Conference heavyweights of last year’s playoff run, in addition to the Lakers/Warriors game. There is ample value available to us, despite the size of the player pool, to get multiple studs in your lineup. Adam: For the first slate of the season, we do have plenty of value. It’s absolutely a Stars & Scrubs approach for me and since we don’t play cash games on such a small slate, we swing for the fences. You have Harden, Steph, KD, Giannis, AD, LeBron, AND Russell Westbrook all on one slate. I’m not that interested in playing a Joe Harris style of player in the mid-range. Question 2: “Which stud is a lock for you on this slate?” Ghost: James Harden. In our season preview show, I stated that James Harden is my top MVP candidate, and since the news of Kyrie’s availability has now taken a turn for the worse, I’m even more confident in my futures bet. Taking charge of the Brooklyn offense as the primary ball-handler is certainly enticing, especially when looking at an offense that was one of — if not the best — in NBA history since his arrival to The Big Apple. He’s the most dynamic offensive player of his generation, and it’s Scary Hours in Brooklyn for The Beard. Adam: I’m likely going to pair mine with Ghost’s choice, but give me Kevin Durant. No Kyrie in the lineup means more shots to go around and while some of those will certainly fall to Harden, Durant has had an offseason to think about his last shot in the playoffs being an airball. He had carried the Nets that entire series but I can’t imagine that’s not still burning him. He’s going to be one of the main two cogs on a team that is still favored to win a title even without Kyrie and we know Milwaukee can’t guard him if he wants to drop 35+ real points. Question 3: “Which stud are you most likely to fade in a single-entry contest or be underweight on in 150-max?” Ghost: The Lakers trio of Anthony Davis, LeBron James, and Russell Westbrook all fall into this category for me. While their salaries are all attractive on DraftKings, the uncertainty behind this offense entering the early stages of the NBA season takes me off them on Opening Night. While I certainly would not fade all three in a 150-max altogether, no Lakers stud will be in my main lineup for single-entry. Adam: I’ll echo Ghost again and say LeBron and Russ. I would stop short of saying I’d fully turn away from Davis since he is under $9,000 and the interior for the Warriors can be vulnerable at times. Westbrook may be cheaper but I’m going to be fascinated to see how the Lakers make this trio work. I have said this since the trade happened, but I firmly believe that the Lakers were better off making the deal for Kings sharpshooter Buddy Hield. This current big three sounds great in a video game but I’m skeptical how they mesh. I’m not finding out on the opening night. Question 4: “If you had to pick one star and one value play to be in the winning lineup, who would they be and why?” Ghost: James Harden and The Model. Y’all really thought I was going to make it that easy on you? If you can’t see that I’m locking in James Harden after reading the first three questions; here it is: I’m locking in James Harden. As for my combination of value plays, Jordan Nwora, Jordan Poole, Malik Monk, and Grayson Allen headline what will be yet another great year for our NBA projections. Adam: Kevin Durant and Jordan Nwora. Does Nwora break the slate? Probably not but he is minimum salary on DK and almost has to walk into the Bobby Portis role for the Bucks. He can shoot the three a little bit and has some game on the inside as well. Brooklyn was awfully vulnerable on the interior last season and even with some reinforcements, they are still pretty old there with LaMarcus Aldridge, Blake Griffin, and Paul Millsap. Question 5: “Give us a hot take for the Opening Day slate.” Ghost: James Harden drops a 30-point triple-double in a Brooklyn win versus the defending NBA Champions. Adam: Steph Curry kicks off his MVP campaign by scoring 40+ real points on eight or more triples and the Warriors win by double-digit points.

NHL NHL DFS Hot Shot for DraftKings and FanDuel (Oct. 17) Richard Masana 3 years ago written by Richard Masana This article focuses on 10/17 NHL Picks for both DraftKings and FanDuel Sportsbooks and FanDuel and DraftKings Daily Fantasy. We analyze tournament tactics, statistics, pricing, and attempt to tackle this highly variable Daily Fantasy format so that we can gain an edge on the field at large. Full rankings for each position for both sites are available below. Sunday 10/17 NHL Slate and DFS Gameplan Welcome back for the weekend return of the Hot Shot! Unfortunately, we go from nine games the last time out to only one game so it’s showdown time. However, as the great Rick Bobby once said you’re either first or you’re last and that will be our mantra/approach tonight. The Rundown Our lone game today features the young Senators traveling to face a Dallas team coming in as pretty decent favorites at -160. From a betting perspective, I think that there’s a bit more value on the Senator’s side of things. We will have to wait and see whether Brady Tkachuk makes his season debut or not for Ottawa after just signing a huge contract. Since we only have two teams playing, let’s take a full look at both teams’ lines starting with the favored Stars. Dallas Stars Dallas Two “Roope Hintz, Joe Pavelski, Jacob Peterson” Looking at the lines above and considering salary if targeting the Stars, with price and role considered my lean is towards using the second line. They cost considerably less and have full additional correlation on the top power-play unit. On a bigger slate, I like using two-man stacks a bit more in an attempt to capture points from a couple of games. But as this is a showdown slate I’d roll all three. We still have a lot of newbies playing so my thought is they figure the top line is by nature the best line to choose from, giving us some ownership edge considering the circumstances. Ottawa Senators So, we will have to see whether Tkachuk makes his debut for this game or later in the week. Based on no inside information if I had to guess, I’d assume later this week, but we will see. Ottawa One “Josh Norris, Tim Stuetzle, Drake Batherson” This is sort of the de facto line much with the Stars second line as they are the line fully represented on the top power-play unit. If Tkachuk enters the equation we can expect these lines to be shaken up, so then would be a great time for people to pop into discord and find out updated information. However, assuming he’s not, we can roll the top line in full as there is no need to condense our stack on a showdown slate as discussed above. 10/17 NHL Game Odds and Totals Ottawa Senators (+130) at Dallas Stars (-160) – 5.5 Projected Goal Total 10/17 NHL FanDuel Individual Rankings Centers Esa Lindell – Dallas – $6,500 Jacob Peterson – Dallas – $6,500 Victor Mete – Ottawa – $6,500 Jamie Benn – Dallas – $9,500 Alexander Radulov – Dallas – $10,000 Joe Pavelski – Dallas – $11,500 10/17 NHL DraftKings Individual Rankings Centers Jacob Peterson – Dallas – $2,000 Joe Pavelski – Dallas – $8,200 Roope Hintz – Dallas – $8,400 Tim Stuetzle – Ottawa – $6,200 Esa Lindell – Dallas – $7,000 Denis Gurianov – Dallas – $4,600 Cash Considerations “DraftKings” It’s an NHL Showdown Slate, why on earth would you play cash games?

NHL NHL DFS Between the Benches for DraftKings and FanDuel (Oct. 16) WIN 3 years ago written by WIN We’re FINALLY back with another Saturday Night Win Daily NHL Article! As I like to do towards the beginning of the season for those new to NHL DFS, I would recommend checking up on the “How To” article we released a while back for NHL DFS. Although some of the scoring systems may be a little out of date, the principles and strategy are exactly the same. I hope you had a very profitable opening week. Now, let’s get ready for the newest edition of WinDaily’s Between the Benches! For tonight’s 10/16 NHL slate, the slate begins at 7:00 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Let’s get into it! Keep in mind!!! FanDuel has updated their NHL tournaments, and they now include two UTIL spots which have replaced two winger spots. DraftKings has stayed the same but don’t forget last season they revamped the scoring and added stats bonuses, so if you’re new to NHL or haven’t played in a while, check out our live stream on the WinDaily YouTube by clicking here and read through the rules on the site of your choice! 10/16 NHL Stack Report Pittsburgh Penguins 1Guentzel – Carter – Heinen (FanDuel: $19,600 | DraftKings: $17,800)– The Pens have one of the highest implied totals on the slate tonight and after two strong performances to start the season I’m not sure how much they’re missing their two star centres. Carter has filled in for them so well and has found instant chemistry with his new (and probably temporary linemates) Bryan Rust (update: with Rust out Heinen takes the spot on the top line) and Jake Guentzel. All three have already found the back of the net with Carter leading the charge with a goal and two assists for three points over his first two games of the season. They’re facing a Chicago team who was in a gruelling back and forth last night that went to overtime as they fell to the New Jersey devils, meaning that the Pens will be facing a tired Hawks lineup with a goalie in Fleury who was not too impressive in their 4-2 loss to the Avalanche. On a final note, keep an eye on Rust’s playing status as he left the last game early with an injury.Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Kris Letang (FD: $6,100 | DK: $5,600)Honorable Mention(s): EDM1 (Puljajarvi, McDavid, Draisaitl), CBJ2 (Bjorkstrand, Roslovic, Nyquist), LAK1 (Brown, Kopitar, Arvidsson), TBL1 (Palat, Point, Kucherov) 10/16 NHL Goalie Tracker Best (Goalies to Roster) Elvis Merzlikins (FD: $7,500 | DK: $7,500) Darcy Kuemper (FD: $8,700 | DK: $8,100)Honorable Mention(s): Vasilevskiy, Hellebuyck, Khudobin Worst (Goalies to Target) Jake Allen (FD: $7,600 | DK: $7,600)Honorable Mention(s): Nedjelkovic, Binnington, Grubauer 10/16 NHL Wild Card Targets Nazem Kadri (FD: $5,400 | DK: $5,400) – We’re going back to the well with Kadri after that last game. It appears as though NMac still won’t be ready to suit up for the Aves and on that news, we need to utilize the value of Kadri while he’s still in this amazing spot since we know it won’t last. Kadri came through for us big time in this spot last game with a goal and an assist with 18 minutes of ice time, on Colorado’s top line!! Kadri stacks well with his linemates as well as defenseman Bowen Byram. Honorable Mention(s): McCann, Tkachev, DeAngelo, Ekman-Larsson, Peterson, W.

NHL NHL DFS Friday Night Forecheck for DraftKings and FanDuel (Oct. 15) allenjesse24@yahoo.com 3 years ago written by allenjesse24@yahoo.com This article will focus on NHL Daily Fantasy picks for both FanDuel and DraftKings. Using advanced hockey metrics, slate analysis, and line by line evaluation, this article will point you towards what we think are the best plays for the night! Good luck! Friday 10/15 NHL Breakdown Hey everyone, and welcome to the first EVER Friday Night Forecheck! My name is Jon Love, and I am new to the WinDaily family. I am VERY excited to be here to talk hockey with everyone! Tonight, we have a small, three game slate, and with the volatility of three game slates, I do not recommend playing cash. Goalies: Cam Talbot – Minnesota Wild: Talbot has a nice matchup tonight as they head to Anaheim to face the Ducks. I like the Wild in this matchup and expect him to get the win. Something to note: he did not finish the preseason, as he was dealing with personal matters, so just be sure to keep an eye on the news. Should he not get the start, Kaapo Kahkonen will likely be in line, and I like him here just as much. Carter Hart – Philadelphia Flyers: Hart struggled towards the end of last year, and was surely a disappointment. Since the defensive rebuild over the offseason, and some time for him to get his head right, Hart should be in the mix as one of the top goalies this year. The talent is there, and I think tonight he has a chance to be the top goalie on the slate. Lines to Build Around: These lines are considered top plays for the night and can be considered the focal point of your builds. They will be listed by position in the following order: Center/Winger/Winger/Correlating Defenseman (if applicable). Chicago 1 – Tyler Johnson/Alex Debrincat/Patrick Kane/Seth Jones: The top line for Chicago has tons of upside, especially with Tyler Johnson newly added to the mix. In a game that should pretty much lack defense all around, this line has a ton of upside tonight. Philadelphia 1 – Sean Couturier/Claude Giroux/Travis Konecny/Ivan Provorov: Philly opens the season at home against the Vancouver Canucks tonight. They spent their offseason revamping the defense on this team, and added plenty of key pieces to the roster. These defensive additions should relieve some pressure from the forwards and open up their game. I like them a lot tonight against Vancouver and Demko. High Risk Lines: These are plays that carry significantly more risk, but could pay off at low ownership. They will be listed by position in the following order: Center/Winger/Winger/Correlating Defenseman (if applicable). New Jersey 1 – Jack Hughes/Yegor Sharangovich/Janne Kuokkanen/Dougie Hamilton: The addition of Dougie Hamilton to this team should do wonders in terms of both leadership and talent. I expect tonight’s game with Chicago to be back and forth, high event hockey. This is one of the younger, up-and-coming groups in the league, and the way that Chicago is on defense should afford them opportunities aplenty. Vancouver 2 – Elias Pettersson/J.T. Miller/Vasily Podkolzin/Quinn Hughes: I expect the Couturier line to match up with the Horvat line for most of the night, as Philly generally matches best on best. With that being said, this line should have some opportunities for offense against the depth of Philly, and the talent on this line is pretty good. Of course, if playing Hart, these guys should not be in the same lineup. Honorable mentions/others I am targeting: Anaheim 3/Minnesota 1 Cash Considerations “DraftKings” On a three game slate, I do not recommend playing cash. Cash Considerations “FanDuel” On a three game slate, I do not recommend playing cash. Make sure to hop in our Expert Discord Chat for FREE!

NHL NHL DFS Hot Shot for DraftKings and FanDuel (Oct. 14) Richard Masana 3 years ago written by Richard Masana This article focuses on 10/14 NHL Picks for both DraftKings and FanDuel Sportsbooks and FanDuel and DraftKings Daily Fantasy. We analyze tournament tactics, statistics, pricing, and attempt to tackle this highly variable Daily Fantasy format so that we can gain an edge on the field at large. Full rankings for each position for both sites are available below. Thursday 10/14 NHL Slate and DFS Gameplan Welcome back for the season debut of the Hot Shot! Let’s Gooooooo! Tonight we have the biggest slate yet this season with nine games, six of which start at main lock. All of the odds and totals are listed below. Ownership should be a relative non-issue given the size of the slate. The Chalk From the onset, the defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning comes in as the biggest favorite at -250. The Lightning look poised to bounce back from a disappointing opening-night loss. Perhaps they wore themselves out celebrating last year’s title before the game. At this point, Tampa is a two-line team so we can pick our poison between the top line of Brayden Point, Nikita Kucherov, and Ondrej Palat or the less popular second line consisting of Steven Stamkos, Alex Killorn, and Anthony Cirelli. If looking to add on, I would pair Victor Hedman if using the first line, although it is not necessary. Andrei Vasilevskiy should be the cash goalie of choice but as he looked half-awake last game and shouldn’t receive too much volume shot-wise from Detroit, I think we can pass in tournaments. The Contrarian Play Now if looking to go off the board, it took one quick look at the projected Buffalo Sabres lines and washed up Craig Anderson in the net to have me licking my lips. The Montreal Canadiens are on a back-to-back and on the road but it’s not like they are worlds away from home and trust me these Sabres are as awful as awful gets. Jack Eichel is out and wisely trying to force his way out of town. Meanwhile, Sam Reinhart, Rasmus Ristolainen, and Linus Ullmark have already escaped Buffalo for greener pastures. What’s leftover is terrible and so you have to like the Canadiens top line of Tyler Toffoli, Cole Caufield, and Nick Suzuki. You could also roll out a depth line but since Montreal is sort of off the board on such a big slate, no need. All three top-line skaters also share duties on the Canadiens’ top power-play unit, providing additional correlation. Another Juicy Spot Looking at some of the other six total games “there is no game with a total over six”, Toronto/Ottawa should get some ownership but I think as we saw last night, with Auston Matthews out Toronto might have some problems finishing things off and now they are on a back-to-back. Ottawa is down Brady Tkachuk but I guess there could be some value there. Nevertheless, if going outside of the top two Tampa lines and Montreal One, I don’t mind targeting the Pittsburgh/Florida game as that could end up a shootout. On the Pittsburgh side, I’d stick to the top line of Jeff Carter, Bryan Rust, and Danton Heinen. Conversely, if rolling with Florida, they are deep enough where in real life, all four lines are capable of putting up numbers on any given night. That’s something you definitely cannot say for every team. Nevertheless, as it’s only the top two lines represented on the top power-play unit, on a nine-game slate, let’s not get crazy for DFS purposes. It would take a lot of old Joe Thornton’s 4th line assists to win us a tournament. You can roll the top line of Aleksandr Barkov, Sam Reinhart, and Carter Verhaeghe “the first two can be run as a two-man since they are both on the power play one”, or the second line of Jonathan Huberdeau, Sam Bennett, and Owen Tippett “likewise for Huberdeau and Bennett as a two-man as they are the two from the second line represented on the top power-play unit”. Aaron Ekblad can be added with the top line if using them and looking to add a defenseman as he shares correlation with them in terms of both even strength and power play. 10/14 NHL Game Odds and Totals Main Slate of Games – Beginning 7 p.m. ET Montreal Canadiens (-140) at Buffalo Sabres (+115) – 6 Projected Goal Total Toronto Maple Leafs (-175) at Ottawa Senators (+145) – 6 Projected Goal Total Pittsburgh Penguins (+150) at Florida Panthers (-180) – 6 Projected Goal Total Dallas Stars (+105) at New York Rangers (-120) – 6 Projected Goal Total New York Islanders (+105) at Carolina Hurricanes (-125) – 5.5 Projected Goal Total Main Slate Games Continued Arizona Coyotes (+115) at Columbus Blue Jackets (-130) – 6 Projected Goal Total Tampa Bay Lightning (-250) at Detroit Red Wings (+195) – 6 Projected Goal Total “7:30 p.m.” Seattle Kraken (+105) at Nashville Predators (-125) – 6 Projected Goal Total – “8:00 p.m.” Late Game Las Vegas Golden Knights (-155) at Los Angeles Kings (+125) – 6 Projected Goal Total 10/14 NHL FanDuel Individual Rankings Centers John Tavares – Toronto – $7,200 Aleksandr Barkov – Florida – $7,600 Jeff Carter – Pittsburgh – $5,300 Jared McCann – Seattle – $4,000 Alexander Kerfoot – Toronto – $4,500 Anthony Cirelli – Tampa Bay – $4,300 Wingers Nikita Kucherov – Tampa Bay – $8,300 Nick Ritchie – Toronto – $4,500 Carter Verhaeghe – Florida – $4,900 Max Pacioretty – Las Vegas – $8,000 Mitchell Marner – Toronto – $7,700 Tyler Toffoli – Montreal – $6,300 Defense Alex Martinez – Las Vegas – $4,900 Roman Josi – Nashville – $6,000 Jeff Petry – Montreal – $5,100 Mackenzie Weegar – Florida – $5,100 Morgan Reilly – Toronto – $6,100 Alex Pietrangelo – Las Vegas – $6,600 Goalies Andrei Vasilevskiy – Tampa Bay – $8,900 “Only pair with Cash games or with variant/off the board lineup” Sam Montembault – Montreal – $7,500 Phillip Grubauer – Seattle – $7,200 10/14 NHL DraftKings Individual Rankings Centers John Tavares – Toronto – $7,600 Aleksandr Barkov – Florida – $7,400 Brayden Point – Tampa Bay – $6,900 Sam Bennett – Florida – $4,200 Alexander Kerfoot – Toronto – $4,400 Anthony Cirelli – Tampa Bay – $3,900 Wingers Steven Stamkos – Tampa Bay – $5,700 Nikita Kucherov – Tampa Bay – $8,400 Jonathan Huberdeau – Florida – $5,300 Ondrej Palat – Tampa Bay – $4,600 Nick Ritchie – Toronto – $3,100 Brendan Gallagher – Montreal – $3,400 Defense Morgan Reilly – Toronto – $4,900 Aaron Ekblad – Florida – $5,800 Jeff Petry – Montreal – $5,600 Victor Hedman – Tampa Bay – $6,900 Roman Josi – Nashville – $6,300 Alex Pietrangelo – Las Vegas – $6,700 Goalies Andrei Vasilevskiy – Tampa Bay – $8,400 “Only pair with Cash games or with variant/off the board lineup” Phillip Grubauer – Seattle – $7,400 Igor Shesterkin – New York Rangers – $7,900 Cash Considerations “DraftKings” Sam Bennett – C – Florida, John Tavares -C – Toronto, Steven Stamkos – RW – Tampa Bay, Nikita Kucherov – RW – Tampa Bay, Nick Ritchie – LW – Toronto, Ondrej Palat – LW – Tampa Bay, Morgan Reilly – D – Toronto, Andrei Vasilevskiy – Goalie – Tampa Bay Cash Considerations “FanDuel” Jeff Carter – C – Pittsburgh, Jared McCann – C – Seattle, John Tavares – C – Toronto, Nikita Kucherov – RW – Tampa Bay, Alex Martinez – D – Las Vegas, Jeff Petry – D – Montreal, Andrei Vasilevskiy – Goalie – Tampa Bay Make sure to hop in our Expert Discord Chat for FREE!

NHL NHL DFS Between the Benches for DraftKings and FanDuel (Oct. 13) Allan Fabrykant 3 years ago written by Allan Fabrykant We’re FINALLY back with another Wednesday Night Win Daily NHL Article! After a very crazy season that saw brand new divisions, late lineup changes (doesn’t happen often in NHL) and the Tampa Bay Lightning repeat as champions, we are back with our first decent-sized slate of the 2021-22 NHL Regular Season. As I like to do towards the beginning of the season for those new to NHL DFS, I would recommend checking up on the “How To” article we released a while back for NHL DFS. Although some of the scoring systems may be a little out of date, the principles and strategy are exactly the same. I hope you had a very profitable opening day. Now, let’s get ready for the newest edition of WinDaily’s Between the Benches! For tonight’s 10/13 NHL slate, the slate begins at 7:00 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Let’s get into it! Keep in mind!!! FanDuel has updated their NHL tournaments, and they now include two UTIL spots which have replaced two winger spots. DraftKings has stayed the same but don’t forget last season they revamped the scoring and added stats bonuses, so if you’re new to NHL or haven’t played in a while, check out our live stream on the WinDaily YouTube by clicking here and read through the rules on the site of your choice! 10/13 NHL Stack Report Edmonton Oilers 1Hyman – McDavid – Puljajarvi (FanDuel: $18,800 | DraftKings: $18,600)– For those who watched last season, it should come as no surprise that the top target is the one and only Connor McDavid. Connor was able to churn out an absolutely insane 105 points in 56 games. Thats nearly two points per game. No matter who the Hart Trophy (MVP award) winner gets paired up with will instantly get a huge boost to their value. As it stands right now, Daily Faceoff has Hyman and Puljajarvi on McDavids wings. I would recommend starting your builds with a two-man of McDavid and Hyman then building your team around those two. Theyre going up against a Canucks team that finished Dead Last in the North Division last season… yes even behind the Ottawa Senators. Aside from a few pickups from the cap stranded Coyotes, the Canucks didnt improve much over the offseason and will be starting a goalie in Thatcher Demko who struggled a bit in the 2021 campaign with a record of 16-18 with a 2.85 SV%. I couldnt be higher on McDavid and he pairs well with anyone who shares the ice with him. (Whether that be on even strength or on the power play… Connor plays on both power play units) On top of that the Oilers boast the highest implied goal total on the slate at 3.8. So they’re in an excellent position to start the year off right. Final Note: Vancouver was one of the most undisciplined teams in the league in 2021, if they take penalties against the Oilers, McDavid will make them pay dearly for it.Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Tyson Barrie (FD: $5,900 | DK: $5,900)Honorable Mention(s): MTL1 (Toffoli, Suzuki, Caufield) , NYR PP1 (Zibanejad, Panarin, Fox) , COL1 (Rantanen, Kadri, Landeskog) 10/13 NHL Goalie Tracker Best (Goalies to Roster) Connor Hellebuyck (FD: $8,400 | DK: $7,900) Darcy Kuemper (FD: $8,600 | DK: $8,300)Honorable Mention(s): Mike Smith Worst (Goalies to Target) John Gibson (FD: $6,800 | DK: $7,200)Honorable Mention(s): Thatcher Demko, Jake Allen 10/13 NHL Wild Card Targets Nazem Kadri (FD: $5,200 | DK: $5,200) – With MacKinnon out due to COVID protocol the crafty veteran center Nazem Kadri will be taking his spot on the top line. The upside is clearly tremendous as the Avalanche are paired up against the Chicago Blackhawks as the biggest favourites on the slate as well as the highest implied total on the slate. Kadri will see top-line minutes accompanied by two all-star wingers in Rantanen and Landeskog. Not to mention the Aves have one of the highest implied totals on the slate at 3.6 expected goals. Kadri is affordable on both sites and should be a strong value piece for tonight’s 5-game slate.Honorable Mention(s): Caufield, Perfetti (New Rookie with potential), Podkolzin (New Rookie with potential), Bunting, T. Johnson (w/CHI1 – Kane, DeBrincat), K. Connor, Ritchie Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’) Centre – Connor McDavid Winger – Zach Hyman Defence – Adam Fox Goalie – Connor Hellebuyck Sign up and get started with Win Daily Sports!
