Moritz Seider (FD: $4,000 | DK: $4,000)
– There are a lot of interesting one-off plays on tonight’s slate and one that is definitely worth a look is Moritz Seider. Sieder leads Red Wings defensemen in points and is second on his team tied with Larkin and behind Bertuzzi who may not even play. Seider has been receiving top-line minutes (over 21 minutes per game) and has been racking up both blocks and shots. Seider plays on the Wings’ second power-play unit but gets a lot of even-strength minutes with the top line. Going into tonight, he’ll be facing off against a very questionable Chicago defence who are allowing a whopping 4.2 goals per game and a goalie in Fleury who is off to the worst statistical start of his entire career with a 0-3-0 record, a 5.63 GAA and a .840 SV%. I see a lot of potential for a game stack between these two teams as they both suffer from very questionable defence but one piece of this matchup that I would recommend taking a look at is rookie defenseman, Moritz Seider.

Hey everyone, and welcome to the Friday Night Forecheck! My name is Jon Love, and I am new to the Win Daily Sports family. I am VERY excited to be here to talk hockey with everyone! Tonight, we have a four game slate with some heavy chalk spots and some interesting plays. Please remember – tonight’s slate locks at 6PM Eastern, which is an hour earlier than usual!
Goalies:
Linus Ullmark – Boston Bruins: Ullmark travels tonight to his former barn to play his former team, the Buffalo Sabres. Surprisingly, the Sabres are scoring and playing better than I think anyone would think in the early going, but the Bruins are a different class of team. Not only that, the Bruins were just beat pretty badly in Philly the other night, so I think they are going to be motivated. Ullmark will look to prove something tonight behind a superior team and should get the win, with a potential for limited save upside.
Michael Hutchinson – Toronto Maple Leafs: The Leafs take on a San Jose Sharks team that is very young, and are also on a traveling back-to-back. Hutch is a heavy home favorite, and with the traveling factor, I think the Leafs are in a good spot tonight to get Hutch the win. San Jose has a measly 46.34 CORSI% on this young season, compared to 56.22 CORSI% for the Leafs. Translation: the Leafs should control the puck for most of the game, limiting the chances for the Sharks.
Bonus GPP Goalie Pick – Craig Anderson – Buffalo Sabres: As much as the Bruins should dominate this game, the Sabres, as mentioned, have been playing pretty well of late. Tonight is a huge test for this team. Anderson is boasting a solid 0.954 SV% and 1.5 GAA, just a week into the new season. A matchup with Boston tonight means a lot of shots and potential for a lot of saves. I expect him to give a few up, but the shot bonus is in play here for our DraftKings players. Reserve this play for deep GPPs, and make sure you don’t stack Boston against him in the same lineup!
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).
Boston Bruins 1 – Patrice Bergeron/David Pastrnak/Brad Marchand/Charlie McAvoy: The B’s head to Buffalo tonight in what should be a juicy matchup for this top line. These guys are one of the most prolific scoring units in the league, and tonight should afford them a ton of opportunities to score. Buffalo has been stingier than we expected so far in this young season, but they are still giving up close to 10 high danger chances per 60 minutes as a team. If you give Boston, or this line, that many chances, they will capitalize. Taylor Hall can be added to this stack for a power play look.
Edmonton Oilers Power Play – Connor McDavid/Ryan Nugent-Hopkins/Leon Draisaitl/Tyson Barrie: It’s really hard to argue against Edmonton on any slate. Tonight is no different. Vegas is depleted from an offensive standpoint, without Pacioretty and Stone. On the defensive side, they will be missing one of their shot blocking D men in Martinez. The Oilers played last night, but I fully expect them to be able to take advantage of this depleted team tonight, and the power play is the best way to stack up the Oilers. Zach Hyman can replace Ryan Nugent-Hopkins in this unit if you really need the salary relief.
Toronto Maple Leafs 2 – John Tavares/William Nylander/Michael Bunting/Jake Muzzin: The Leafs have a home matchup tonight against a young team on a traveling back-to-back. I like them to have a field day tonight against the Sharks. The second line will be my focus, but I can absolutely see stacking the power play to get you exposure to Matthews and the top line.
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).
Vegas Golden Knights 1 – William Karlsson/Reilly Smith/Jonathan Marchessault/Alex Pietrangelo: The Oilers are favored tonight, but I expect this game to be high event, as both teams are generating 12+ high danger chances per 60 minutes. This line is the only viable Vegas line, so they will get their chances in a high event matchup. The opportunities should be there, and if they capitalize, they could be a nice stack tonight. I can see game stacking EDM/VGK tonight, if you can fit it.
Dallas Stars 2 – Roope Hintz/Jacob Peterson/Alexander Radulov/Esa Lindell: The Stars host the LA Kings tonight, and at first glance, the game does not look super exciting. However, this line has been generating some excellent rates, in a very small sample. If they follow the same line matching trends as last year, I expect this line to match up with the Kopitar line for the most part tonight. The opportunity will be there, and Peterson has been an exciting rookie addition to this team. I like the chemistry here and they should be low owned.

This article focuses on 10/21 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.
Welcome back to the Hot Shot for a juicy ten-game Thursday slate!
With these larger slates, I highly advise passing on full three-man lines but instead going with pairs of two-man stacks as the goal is to attempt to capture the top scorers on the night across multiple games.
Full DraftKings and FanDuel Rankings can be found below as well as cash game considerations for each site.
With a 6.5 implied goal total, near even odds, a start time at main lock, etc., there are many reasons in place to provide the basis for the oncoming Colorado/Florida chalk.
Of all of the lines in this game, with Nathan MacKinnon making his season debut post-Covid and Andre Burakovsky offering value, understandably, the Colorado top line of MacKinnon, Burakovsky, and Mikko Rantanen should be the most popular.
However, for value on DraftKings, it is hard to top the Panthers’ second line featuring Sam Bennett, Jonathan Huberdeau, and Owen Tippett. On FanDuel, my lean is towards the first line due to a large increase in price over there for the Florida second line. The Panthers’ first line of Aleksandr Barkov, Carter Verhaeghe “much cheaper on FanDuel” and Anthony Duclair does unfortunately only feature Barkov alone on the top power-play unit. If targeting the Florida power play I’d probably roll a two-man stack of Bennett and Huberdeau.
In terms of individual chalk, Burakovsky, as mentioned due to a bump to the Colorado first line with Gabriel Landeskog’s injury should be a popular value play. We can also expect the likes of Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, and Alex Ovechkin to soak up a lot of the ownership on the high end. Over on FanDuel, Brent Burns will likely be chalk or at least should be for $5,000.
Carolina Hurricanes “DraftKings”
Unfortunately, the Hurricanes’ power play is a hodgepodge of their top two lines. Therefore, I think first off you’re reducing “Carolina One: Sebastian Aho, Teuvo Teravainen, Jesperi Kotkaniemi” or “Carolina Two: Andrei Svechnikov, Vincent Trocheck, Martin Necas” to two-man stacks of either Aho/Teravainen or Svechnikov/Trocheck. That will give you access to the two best players on each line and the top power-play unit. Montreal has had a nightmare start to the season, last we saw them getting destroyed by Buffalo. They will have the home crowd behind their back but perhaps played above their heads last year in the playoffs and it shows now. This is a solid Carolina team and they should all be 5-7% owned if that, on a ten-game slate.
Carolina Hurricanes (-120) at Montreal Canadiens (+100) – 5.5 Projected Goal Total
San Jose Sharks (-115) at Ottawa Senators (-105) – 6 Projected Goal Total
Colorado Avalanche (-100) at Florida Panthers (-120) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Vancouver Canucks (+110) at Chicago Blackhawks (-125) – 6 Projected Goal Total – “8:30 p.m.”
