Hockey

After a weird Monday slate, we get to break down a massive 12 gamer tonight. There should be quite a few different paths to the top of the leaderboards tonight, so don’t worry too much about ownership. Quite a few teams are on a back-to-back, and there are a few obvious spots on the board. Check out our NHL DFS picks for FanDuel and DraftKings below. Good luck!

Goalies

Ilya Samsonov – Toronto Maple Leafs: The Leafs host the Ducks tonight in what should be a very, very tough game for the Ducks. Toronto and Anaheim are not on the same level at this point in their franchises, and Toronto should be able to handle this game easily. Samsonov is your cash goalie on the night, as the Ducks come into this one scoring less than a goal per game on the road over their last five. Oh yeah, they played last night, too.

James Reimer – San Jose Sharks: Reimer returns after a short IR stint to face the Coyotes, which is a nice way for him to ease back into action. He should be able to get a win tonight, albeit with limited upside.

Andrei Vasilevskiy – Tampa Bay Lightning: The Lightning host the Kraken tonight, and Vasilevskiy should have a decent chance to dominate tonight. There could be a slight issue with the number of shots he faces, but Vas feels like a solid play overall.

Connor Hellebuyck – Winnipeg Jets: The Jets host the Eichel-less Golden Knights tonight, and Hellebuyck looks like a solid play tonight.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Ville Husso – Detroit Red Wings: The Wings host the Hurricanes tonight, who love to shoot the puck. There is some upside here for Husso, who has some solid numbers recently. There is also some risk, because we know the Canes can score. Without Aho, Carolina is a little less daunting, so this is a solid play tonight.

Others to Consider: Linus Ullmark (BOS), Pyotr Kochetkov (CAR)

Lines to Build Around

These NHL DFS 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).

Toronto Maple Leafs Power Play – Auston Matthews/John Tavares/Mitch Marner/William Nylander/Rasmus Sandin: This is about the best spot there can be for DFS purposes. The Toronto power play is ranked in the top 10 of the league, while the Ducks’ PK is next to last. Sandin has been very solid playing on this unit, so he and AM34 are a must tonight. The formula is there for these guys to break the slate.

San Jose Sharks 1 – Tomas Hertl/Timo Meier/Kevin Labanc/Erik Karlsson: The Coyotes are just bad. They are ranked second in the league in HDCA/60 on the season so far, and the Sharks should be able to take care of business tonight. This top line is a great late night play, and they should have their chances. You can also consider adding Couture/Barabanov in with Hertl/Meier/Karlsson, which creates a power play look.

Washington Capitals 1 – Dylan Strome/Conor Sheary/Alex Ovechkin/John Carlson: The Caps head to the Windy City tonight to take on Mrazek and the Blackhawks. Mrazek is back after a week or so off with a groin injury, and tonight is going to be a tough game for him. The top six line matching scheme for the Hawks sets this line up for a nice night tonight.

High Risk Lines

These are NHL DFS 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).

Buffalo Sabres 2 – Dylan Cozens/JJ Peterka/Jack Quinn: The Sabres get a date with the Kings tonight, and it looks like LA will be rolling Pheonix Copley in net. The way they match their lines, this second line should see a good bit of the Kopitar line tonight, creating a plus matchup. They aren’t the most prolific scoring line in the league, so they are a riskier play, but worth a look tonight.

New Jersey Devils 2 – Erik Haula/Jack Hughes/Dawson Mercer: This play is a little more about recent data than it is about matchup. Dallas has been okay on defense all year, but this line has been scorching hot of late. It looks like Wedgewood suits up for the Stars in net, so this could be an interesting spot.

Tampa Bay Lightning Power Play – Brayden Point/Steven Stamkos/Brandon Hagel/Nikita Kucherov/Victor Hedman: The Lightning power play gets a nice matchup against Seattle’s 28th ranked penalty kill tonight. They fall under high risk because the Kraken have been surprisingly stingy on defense all year. However, their recent numbers show them being a little worse on defense than their season long baseline, so this is a very interesting play tonight.

Florida Panthers 1 – Aleksander Barkov/Carter Verhaeghe/Sam Reinhart/Aaron Ekblad: The Panthers have a massive total tonight, and they get to face Merzlikins in net for the Blue Jackets. That sets them up for a very nice overall matchup. However, there is some risk in playing these guys tonight, as the Jackets are actually somewhat limiting defensively. This line should have some chances, but they will have to capitalize on every one they get. They are worth a look, but proceed with caution.

Tonight’s Tuesday slate brings us 9 games on the menu, with a ton of places to go. It should be an interesting slate, with some teams on a back-to-back. Nine games means that the ownership should be pretty spread out, so we won’t have to worry too much about that. As usual, keep an eye on the news throughout the day. Good luck!

Goalies

Juuse Saros – Nashville Predators: Saros has a good chance at a win tonight, as the Preds host the Ducks. Saros can be considered for cash tonight, but he does carry a little bit of risk.

Jacob Markstrom – Calgary Flames: Markstrom and the Flames host the Florida Panthers, who have been a shell of themselves since Barkov went out. They just played last night, so this should be a pretty solid play tonight.

Tristan Jarry – Pittsburgh Penguins: The Penguins host the Hurricanes, who love shooting the puck. For that reason, Jarry has some very solid upside potential tonight, and he may even be able to snag a win on home ice.

Ilya Sorokin – New York Islanders: The Isles head to Philly to face the awful Flyers, and this should be a solid game for Sorokin. The upside here might be limited, but Sorokin should be able to get the win.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Connor Hellebuyck – Winnipeg Jets: Normally, we don’t advise playing a goalie against the Avalanche, but this looks like a good spot for some upside. Hellebuyck has been a solid goalie all year long, and a home matchup against a team that shoots the puck a ton is usually a formula for a good night.

Lines to Build Around

These NHL DFS 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).

Nashville Predators Power Play – Ryan Johansen/Matt Duchene/Filip Forsberg/Mikael Granlund/Roman Josi: The Predators have a fantastic matchup tonight against the 31st ranked penalty kill in the league for the Ducks. The Ducks are also spending a lot of time on the PK, so this unit should see plenty of chances tonight.

Boston Bruins 1 – Patrice Bergeron/Jake Debrusk/Brad Marchand/Charlie McAvoy: The top line for the Bruins has a really nice matchup tonight against the Lightning. Boston has been a solid team all year long, and they should be able to solve the Lightning tonight.

San Jose Sharks 1 – Tomas Hertl/Timo Meier/Kevin Labanc/Erik Karlsson: One of the more prolific scoring lines so far this year, the top Sharks line has a great matchup tonight in Montreal. This line is set up to have a massive night.

High Risk Lines

These are NHL DFS 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).

Calgary Flames 1 – Elias Lindholm/Tyler Toffoli/Jonathan Huberdeau/Rasmus Andersson: As mentioned above, the Flames have a nice matchup tonight against the Panthers. Bobrovsky has not been playing too well of late, and this line has a nice even strength matchup.

Colorado Avalanche 1 – Nathan MacKinnon/Mikko Rantanen/Artturi Lehkonen/Cale Makar: The Avalanche top line has a nice even strength matchup tonight against the Jets.

Washington Capitals 2 – Evgeny Kuznetsov/Sonny Milano/TJ Oshie: The Canucks/Caps game could go pretty high scoring tonight. This line has a date with the Pettersson line in a very nice matchup.

Vancouver Canucks 2 – Elias Pettersson/Andrei Kuzmenko/Ilya Mikheyev: This line should see the aforementioned Capitals’ second line, which is a great matchup.

Seattle Kraken 3 – Yanni Gourde/Oliver Bjorkstrand/Brandon Tanev: This line could provide some really nice value tonight. They should be facing the third line for the Kings, and that sets up a great matchup.

Welcome to Monday! With the holiday coming up, the schedule for the NHL gets a little weird. Monday usually means a short slate, but tonight we have 10 games to sift through. There are a lot of interesting places to look tonight, and it should be a fun one to break down. Let’s get right into it. Good luck!

Goalies

Jordan Binnington – St. Louis Blues: Binny and the Blues host the Ducks tonight, and the Blues have been streaking. Binnington has finally started to put something together and has looked very solid of late. This should be a safe place to get a win.

Antti Raanta – Carolina Hurricanes: The Canes head to Winnipeg tonight to face the Jets, and this is a decent spot for Raanta. He has solid numbers over his last five, and he has a good chance at a win tonight.

Logan Thompson – Vegas Golden Knights: The Knights head to Vancouver tonight to face the Canucks, and Thompson continues to be a solid option in net. He carries a little bit of risk, as the Canucks are a little better at home, but he should still be a decent option.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Vitek Vanecek – New Jersey Devils: The Devils host the Oilers tonight, and Vanecek has some stellar looking numbers. He should see a bunch of shots tonight, and as long as he keeps playing the way he has, he should carry some great upside potential.

Others to Consider: Juuse Saros (NSH), James Reimer (SJS), Linus Ullmark (BOS)

Lines to Build Around

These NHL DFS 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).

St. Louis Blues 1 – Robert Thomas/Jordan Kyrou/Pavel Buchnevich/Torey Krug: The Blues will be without Vladimir Tarasenko on this top line tonight, so Kyrou moves up. Just two days ago, this same matchup happened, and Buchnevich/Thomas combined for six points on eight shots. Fire up the Blues’ top line tonight.

Calgary Flames Power Play – Elias Lindholm/Nazem Kadri/Jonathan Huberdeau/Tyler Toffoli/Rasmus Andersson: The Flames head to Philly tonight, where they should have a field day against a Flyers team that is just not very good. The power play look gets you access to multiple lines, and scoring might be spread out tonight for the Flames.

New Jersey Devils 1 – Nico Hischier/Tomas Tatar/Fabian Zetterlund/Dougie Hamilton: The Devils have been phenomenal over the last month or so, and have won 12 straight. They face Edmonton tonight, which sounds like a tall task, but this is a great opportunity for them. The top line is in a fantastic even strength matchup tonight, and they should be able to pot a few goals.

San Jose Sharks 1 – Tomas Hertl/Kevin Labanc/Timo Meier/Erik Karlsson: The Sharks host the Senators tonight, and this line is set up for what could be a huge night. Their even strength matchup looks fantastic, and they have been playing very, very well over the last couple of weeks.

High Risk Lines

These are NHL DFS 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).

Toronto Maple Leafs 1 – Auston Matthews/Michael Bunting/William Nylander/Morgan Rielly: This top line for the Leafs has a nice matchup tonight at home against the Islanders, who have been bleeding chances. The risk here comes in with Sorokin, who can be solid in net, and the fact that the Islanders do have the ability to slow down good offensive teams. Tonight should be a tall task for that defense though, and this is a good place to consider.

Vegas Golden Knights 1 – Jack Eichel/Mark Stone/Chandler Stephenson/Alex Pietrangelo: This top line has a date with the Canucks’ top line, and that sets up for a really nice matchup. This line’s numbers have been very, very good, and they should be able to handle that matchup, even though the top line for the Canucks has been somewhat limiting defensively.

Tampa Bay Lightning 3 – Vladislav Namestnikov/Corey Perry/Ross Colton: The Lighting and Bruins game tonight should be a great battle. Both teams are looking good of late, and there are superstars up and down each lineup. The matching schemes for the Lightning suggest that the depth lines could be the difference makers, and that’s where this line comes in. They have a good even strength matchup tonight, and could provide some great value.

Welcome to the Hot Shot for Tuesday, 11/15! We get a good sized, 9 game slate tonight with all kinds of action. There are lots of interesting places to look tonight. Let’s check out our NHL DFS picks for tonight. Good luck!

Goalies

Logan Thompson – Vegas Golden Knights: Thompson and the Knights host the Sharks tonight, and are massive favorites. The good thing about this play is that there could actually be some decent shot volume, so this looks like a good place to go in net.

Sergei Bobrovsky – Florida Panthers: The Panthers host the Capitals tonight, and Florida has a good shot at a win. Bob has been a little inconsistent this year, so there is a slight risk with him.

Marc-Andre Fleury – Minnesota Wild: After a pretty rough start to the year, MAF can finally be listed as a goalie to play tonight. He has really turned his numbers around, and he just so happens to get a matchup tonight with a pretty depleted roster for the Predators.

Vitek Vanecek – New Jersey Devils: The Devils host the Canadiens tonight, and while this looks on the surface like a safe play, there is some risk involved. Vanecek is coming off of an injury, and the Canadiens have been scoring a little bit of late. The Devils should have the upper hand in this game, though, so he is worth a look.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Jake Oettinger – Dallas Stars: The Stars head to Tampa tonight to take on the Lightning, and this should be a good spot for shot volume. The Stars have been rolling, so there is also a possibility for a win tonight.

Lines to Build Around

These NHL DFS 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).

Vegas Golden Knights 2 – William Karlsson/Jonathan Marchessault/Rielly Smith/Shea Theodore: Vegas is in a fantastic spot tonight, and this second line should see a lot of the depth for the Sharks, creating a great matchup.

Dallas Stars 1 – Roope Hintz/Joe Pavelski/Jason Robertson/Miro Heiskanen: As mentioned, the Stars head to Tampa tonight, and this is a good spot for this top line, who has been scorching hot. They should see a lot of the top line for the Lightning, and with Elliott in net, expect them to light the lamp a few times.

Florida Panthers 1 – Aleksander Barkov/Matthew Tkachuk/Carter Verhaeghe/Aaron Ekblad: Against Washington, it feels like this line may go a little overlooked, but Kuemper for the Caps has been pretty bad of late. Expect them to see a lot of the top line tonight in a very good matchup.

Columbus Blue Jackets 1 – Boone Jenner/Emil Bemstrom/Johnny Gaudreau: The Blue Jackets face the Flyers again tonight, and top lines have been dominating Philly recently. This line looks to be in a good spot on home ice. Gaudreau and Jenner are the priorities here, but Bemstrom makes for a good value piece.

New Jersey Devils 2 – Jack Hughes/Yegor Sharanagovich/Jesper Bratt: The Devils’ second line is in a great spot tonight against the Canadiens. They should see a lot of the second and third lines, while Suzuki and co. focus on the Hischier line. They have a very good looking matchup on paper tonight, and Bratt/Hughes correlate on the power play.

High Risk Lines

These are NHL DFS 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).

Detroit Red Wings 1 – Dylan Larkin/Tyler Bertuzzi/Lucas Raymond/Filip Hronek: Tyler Bertuzzi returns for the Red Wings tonight, as they face the Ducks in Anaheim. This is a great, great spot for this top line, especially if they Ducks keep their matching scheme. With Henrique in the lineup, they usually run them against the opposing top line, setting this line up for a potentially great night. Mortiz Seider can be used instead of Hronek, but Hronek gets the 5v5 correlation.

Anaheim Ducks 1 – Trevor Zegras/Troy Terry/Adam Henrique/John Klingberg: This is the opposing line from the matchup above, and this is a good matchup for the top line. However, Bertuzzi coming back may make it a little tougher for this line, which is what makes them a risky play.

Vancouver Canucks Power Play – Elias Pettersson/Brock Boeser/Bo Horvat/JT Miller/Quinn Hughes: The Canucks’ power play is in a good spot tonight, as they face the Sabres’ 26th ranked penalty kill. This is usually where the scoring comes from for the Canucks, and this game could be high scoring.

Buffalo Sabres Power Play – Tage Thompson/Jeff Skinner/Alex Tuch/Victor Olofsson/Rasmus Dahlin: The Sabres have gone cold recently, so they had to shuffle their lines a bit. However, the power play unit is in a good spot, as Vancouver is sporting the 31st ranked penalty killing unit. There is a legitimate possibility that Buffalo could snap out of their funk tonight.
