Tonight offers us another very solid looking six game slate in the NHL. There are some interesting games tonight that could either way, and definitely some nice spots to attack. Let’s get into our NHL DFS picks for DraftKings and FanDuel. Good luck!
Tristan Jarry – Pittsburgh Penguins: The Pens host the Stars tonight in what should be a good spot for Jarry. The Stars tend to struggle on the road, and this should be a spot where Jarry can pick up the win.
Igor Shesterkin – New York Rangers: Igor should see a bunch of shots tonight, as the Rangers host the Devils, so there is definitely some upside potential here. He is a little risky, given how well NJ has played this year, but there is a potential for upside tonight.
High Risk Goalie Pick – Stuart Skinner – Edmonton Oilers: Skinner has been playing fairly well over his last five starts, but Edmonton as a whole has not been very good on defense all year. His recent numbers are definitely improving, so this is a good place to look for a potential upside, leverage win.
Others to Consider: Juuse Saros (NSH), Thomas Greiss (STL), Vitek Vanecek (NJD)
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).
Ottawa Senators Power Play – Tim Stutzle/Drake Batherson/Brady Tkachuk/Alex Debrincat/Thomas Chabot: The top play on the board tonight appears to be the Sens’ power play. They get to face the Ducks’ 30th ranked PK unit and will definitely have their chances. Keep an eye on the Debrincat news, as he has a GTD tag on him. You can also give the second Ottawa line a good look tonight, provided that Debrincat plays. If not the, the focus shifts to Stutzle/Tkachuk/Chabot as a 3-man.
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/Jonathan Huberdeau/Tyler Toffoli/Rasmus Andersson: The Flames’ top line appears to be in a great spot tonight, as they head to Montreal to face the Canadiens. Jake Allen looks to be getting the nod in net for the Habs, and this line should be able to do some damage against him tonight. There is some risk in that the Flames have been struggling to score recently, but this is a nice get-right spot for them to change that.
Pittsburgh Penguins 2 – Evgeni Malkin/Jason Zucker/Bryan Rust: The Pens put their fourth line on the opposing top line, which sets up a great matchup for this second line against the Dallas depth. The top line for the Pens is in play, but there appears to be a little more value in this line tonight.
Minnesota Wild 1 – Sam Steel/Kirill Kaprizov/Mats Zuccarello/Jared Spurgeon: The top line for Minnesota has a juicy matchup against the depth lines for Edmonton tonight, and this could be one of those surprise spots. Steel on this line provides a good bit of value, making them workable for a lot of combinations of lineup builds.

We’re back for another WinDaily NHL Between the Benches Article! Lots of action tonight, and from the early games to the late, there will be lots to enjoy this evening! For tonight’s 12/9 NHL slate, we have a large-sized ten-gamer, and 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 right into it!
— The Flames have been an interesting side and although this season has been a bit of a roller coaster, their recent form has been as good as their name suggests, hot. Both teams in this matchup are coming into tonight’s game with three game streaks, with the Flames winning their last three and the Blue Jackets dropping their last three. In fact, over those three games, the Blue Jackets have coughed up an embarrassing 17 goals, that’s almost 6 goals against per game, including 6 that they gave up to the Sabres in the FIRST PERIOD of their last game. The Jackets looked one step behind for the entire game and I don’t think that things will look much different heading into tonight. Defensively, the Flames are leaps and bounds ahead of the Blue Jackets as Columbus holds the league’s worst goals against average per game at 4.16. Which is why it should come as no surprise that the Flames currently hold an implied goal total tonight of 4.1. Both of Calgary’s top two lines are solid options for tonight’s slate but I recommend taking the second line since they have been hotter as of late, and they are cheaper overall, which will help when trying to stack the other recommended line in today’s article. The Flames have also averaged over four goals over their current win streak and the second line in particular has scored 5 goals and four assists over that three game stretch!
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Rasmus Andersson
—This is the most significant mismatch of today’s slate and no matter what I would recommend having a piece of this game, whether it be the top, second or even the third line of the Boston Bruins. Straight away the first thing to note is that the bruins have only lost 3 games in regulation and one game in a shootout, that’s it, 21-3-1. A simply unbelievable start to their 2022-23 season. As a result, it should come as no surprise that the Bruins are heavy favourites coming into any matchup. However, tonight in particular, the Bruins are facing the 7-13-4 Coyotes who have lost their last six games and hold a 1-2-1 record at home. Statistically, this matchup is a bit of a joke, the Bruins either lead the league or are near the top in nearly every stat category, whereas the Coyotes are near the bottom if not dead last (dead last in shots on goal per game). For instance, in goals per game the Bruins have a 1.33 + advantage (3.96 to 2.63) and in goals allowed per game, the Bruins have a 1.55+ advantage (2.08 to 3.63). Every single stat category is very similar as on paper, the Bruins are better in every single way. I see this game’s scoreline getting out of hand very quickly, and I would recommend having a piece of the Bruins in your DFS lineups tonight.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Charlie McAvoy (value option Matt Grzelcyk)
Honorable Mention(s): San Jose Sharks 2 (Bonino-Couture-Barabanov), New Jersey Devils 2 (Haula-Hughes-Mercer)
Best (Goalies to Roster)
Worst (Goalies to Target)
1. Joonas Korpisalo
Honorable Mention(s): Karel Vejmelka
Taylor Hall
– Despite being on the Bruins third line, Hall is steadily seeing over 14 minutes of ice time per game this season and he’s recently put together a four game point streak in which he has scored five goals and two assists. He did not have the best start to the season but he has really come into form as of late and tonight against the Yotes, who as previously mentioned, are really struggling this season. Hall could provide good value and would give you a piece of what is looking like a lopsided and high scoring game.
Honorable Mention(s): Bryan Rust, Tyler Toffoli, Dylan Strome

We’re back for another Friday of WinDaily NHL content! Although we have a smaller slate tonight, all three games are packed with action! For tonight’s 12/2 NHL slate, we have a small-sized three-gamer, and 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 right into it!
— The Jets have the best odds and the highest implied total of this small three game slate with -245 and 4.1 xG respectively. This is because this matchup pits one of the best all-around teams in the league against one of the worst all around teams in the league this season. Not only that but going into this matchup the Jets are coming into this game on a three-game winning streak, while the Blue Jackets are coming into tonight’s game on a two game losing streak. The Jets have relied heavily on their top two lines for the majority of their scoring throughout the season and I am slightly leaning towards the Jets’ top line as they have been a little more consistent as of late. In their last game alone, Winnipeg’s top line put up four goals and six assists amongst themselves! On top of that, the goalie they’re going up against tonight, Joonas Korpisalo, holds a 3-4-1 record, a 3.76 goals against average and a save percentage below .900. Simply abysmal but not surprising given the season the Jackets have had to this point. One final note on this game is that the game will be taking place in Winnipeg and the Jets currently hold a home ice record of 8-2-0, whereas the Blue Jackets are a measly 1-4-1 on the road, talk about a home ice advantage!
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Josh Morrissey
— Although not as lopsided as the Jets and Blue Jackets game, the Rangers vs Sens game also has a clear favourite with a high implied total at 3.8 xG. These two teams actually just played each other two days ago in Ottawa and the Rangers were able to snap a three game losing streak and walk away with a 3-1 win with the Rangers top line contributing in two of the three goals scored. Tonight, these two teams will meet up again at MSG with all the momentum on the Rangers side of the ice. Although these two teams have similar offensive stats this season, their defensive stats show a stark difference. The Rangers are near the top of the league in goals allowed and shots allowed with 2.79 and 29.2 respectively, whereas the Sens give up 3.36 goals per game and nearly 34 shots against respectively. These are stats that you can’t give up against any team, let alone the Rangers. The Rangers will rely heavily on their top line tonight and I think they will walk away with the win here, comfortably.
Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Adam Fox (value option Ryan Lindgren)
Honorable Mention(s): New York Islanders 2 (Lee-Nelson-Beauvilier), Ottawa Senators 1 (B. Tkachuk-Stüzle-Giroux)
Best (Goalies to Roster)
Worst (Goalies to Target)
1. Joonas Korpisalo
Honorable Mention(s): Kevin Lankinen
Morgan Barron
– The late 2017 draft pick has successfully secured a spot on the Jets roster and thus far he has not disappointed. He’s put up five points over his last six games (1 goal, 4 assists) and is steadily seeing more ice time with each passing game. In his last game, he saw 16 minutes of ice time and was on the second line alongside Kyle Connor and Pierre-Luc Dubois. It’s been amazing to see his steady rise and I don’t think he’s done yet, Barron still has a lot to prove if he wants to keep his spot in the top six down the line.
Honorable Mention(s): Zach Parise, Ryan Pulock, Ryan Lindgren
Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)

Winger – Blake Wheeler
Defenseman – Ryan Lindgren

We enter the holiday season on this Monday with a very nice little six game slate. Six games is pretty much the perfect sized slate, not too big, and not too small. Check out our DFS picks below for DraftKings and FanDuel! Good luck!
Logan Thompson – Vegas Golden Knights: The Knights head to Columbus tonight to face the Blue Jackets in what is a winnable game. Thompson has a solid matchup tonight and should end up being the safest of the bunch tonight.
Vitek Vanecek – New Jersey Devils: The Devils face the Rangers tonight in what should be an interesting matchup. Vanecek has been solid all year long, and has a chance at some decent upside tonight. However, there is a little risk involved in this one, since it is the Rangers, who can turn it on at any time.
High Risk Goalie Pick – Ville Husso – Detroit Red Wings: The Wings host the Leafs tonight, and Husso should be peppered with shots. He has some solid looking numbers of late, so this looks like a good upside spot. Don’t go all in on him, but he makes sense for some leverage in tournaments.
Others to Consider: Jake Oettinger (DAL), Igor Shesterkin (NYR)
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).
Tampa Bay Lightning Power Play – Brayden Point/Steven Stamkos/Nikita Kucherov/Alex Killorn/Victor Hedman: Tampa heads to Buffalo tonight to face the Sabres, who finally snapped out of a losing streak. However, this matchup is solid for the Bolts, and both top lines are in a great spot against a mediocre goalie tonight.
Vegas Golden Knights 1 – Jack Eichel/Mark Stone/Chandler Stephenson/Alex Pietrangelo: As mentioned above, Vegas has a great matchup tonight, and this top line should benefit from it. They should end up seeing a lot of the Kuraly line tonight, which sets them up very nicely.
Florida Panthers 1 – Sam Bennett/Nick Cousins/Matthew Tkachuk/Aaron Ekblad: The Panthers’ top line has a great matchup tonight against Edmonton. Even without Barkov, targeting Edmonton has been a great strategy this year, since their defensive ability is questionable.
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).
Dallas Stars 1 -Roope Hintz/Jason Robertson/Joe Pavelski/Miro Heiskanen: The Stars face the Blues tonight in a game that could be higher scoring. This line is the play most of the time for the Stars, and tonight is no different. Dallas could go a little overlooked on a slate like this, and this line at low ownership is always a decent bet.
St. Louis Blues 1 – Robert Thomas/Vladimir Tarasenko/Pavel Buchnevich/Torey Krug: In that same game, the Blues side of things looks interesting as well. Getting Tarasenko back provides a nice boost to this top line, and this could be another lower-owned leverage spot in a game that could end up getting up there in scoring.
New York Rangers 3 – Vincent Trocheck/Alexis Lafreniere/Barclay Goodrow: The even strength matchup for this line is very, very nice, and could set them up to be a great value play tonight. The Devils have been very solid, and the fact that this line could be limited in ice time makes them a pretty risky play.
NHL DFS Honorable Mentions: BUF1, TORPP, EDM1, NJD1, DAL1
Consider these NHL DFS plays to help save you some salary in your lineups on DraftKings. Be sure to stack!
Center: Filip Chytil ($3000) – New York Rangers

After last night’s nice 9 game slate, we end up with a baby 2-gamer tonight. This one looks interesting, and will be a very volatile slate. Keep it light tonight and prep for tomorrow’s massive slate. Check out our NHL DFS picks for tonight below. Good luck!
With only four teams in action tonight, we will list the goalies in order of risk below, from safest to riskiest. As usual, be sure to keep an eye on news through the day to verify they draw the start.
Igor Shesterkin – New York Rangers: Igor is hands-down the best goalie on this slate from a talent perspective. He has some fantastic numbers this year, and the Rangers have a good chance at winning this game tonight.
Jake Allen – Montreal Canadiens: The Canadiens host the Sabres tonight, who have been pretty bad of late. They have been losing like crazy, and are averaging just 1 goal per game over their last five. Allen’s numbers aren’t pretty, but this is more about the matchup.
Jonathan Quick – Los Angeles Kings: Quick has been very inconsistent of late. He has a whopping 4.67 GAA over his last five, and those types of numbers are scary when you think of him facing the Rangers. We know the Rangers can score, and they should be able to take advantage of Quick tonight. However, from a risk/reward standpoint, Quick can be a solid deep GPP option, since the volume will be there.
Craig Anderson – Buffalo Sabres: Anderson’s numbers actually aren’t terrible. However, this is an unfavorable matchup for him and the Sabres tonight. Montreal looks to be in a prime spot tonight. We aren’t saying don’t use him at all, but he should be reserved for MME style play for tonight.
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).
Stacking Notes: Before we get into plays, we want to cover a quick note about stacking on a 2-game slate. In general, on DraftKings especially, a preferred build on a bigger slate is 3-3-2, covering your bases with D-men and dropping a forward off of a stack. On a two game slate, stacking a full forward line makes a lot of sense from a leverage standpoint. For example, if a common build is to play Zibanejad with Kreider and Fox, you can get different by playing Zibanejad with Kreider and Vesey instead. As most people will leave Vesey off, if he benefits from that line scoring, you will have an advantage on the field.
In our example above (Zib/Kreider/Vesey), add your second full forward line stack, and then fill in your D spots with floor. If they correlate with the two stacks, great, but if not, that’s ok. Chase blocked shots and shots on goal as much as possible so that you get the most out of those two D spots.
Montreal Canadiens 1 – Nick Suzuki/Cole Caufield/Kirby Dach/Michael Matheson: Based on the line matching for Montreal, this line tends to find itself against the better or best lines for the opposition. That means that this line should see a majority of the Thompson line for Buffalo tonight, who is giving up a massive 34.83 SCA/60 and 17.94 HDCA/60. It helps that this line has been on fire recently, so definitely get some Canadiens in your lineups tonight.
New York Rangers 2 – Vincent Trocheck/Artemi Panarin/Barclay Goodrow/Adam Fox: This line has a date with the Kings’ top line tonight, who are giving up 38.46 SCA/60 and 21.64 HDCA/60, which means that this line could absolutely break the slate. The matchup should be pretty wide open, as this line is not a stellar defensive line themselves. A game stack with this line and the Kings’ top line is certainly a possibility tonight.
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 1 – Tage Thompson/Jeff Skinner/Alex Tuch/Rasmus Dahlin: The Sabres have gone cold recently, but this top line is in play on a two game slate. They have to break out of that slump at some point, and there is a possibility that tonight could be the time to do so. The Canadiens are giving up goals, so there should be chances, but the worry here is that Buffalo just cannot convert. Their matchup with the top Canadiens’ line could be limiting, which is the risky part of this play, but on two games, anything can happen.
Los Angeles Kings 1 – Anze Kopitar/Kevin Fiala/Adrian Kempe/Drew Doughty: Fiala moves back to the top line, and, as mentioned above, this line should see the second line for the Rangers tonight. This sets the top line up for an interesting look, and this line could be a little sneaky tonight. The field will likely be on Shesterkin, so they may be a leverage play.

It’s Monday, which means it’s time for the Man Advantage. Tonight brings us a main slate that starts at 8:30pm Eastern, but there is also a game between the Islanders and Senators at 5:30pm Eastern that is not included on either the DraftKings or FanDuel main slate. That brings us to a small, three game slate that looks tricky at first glance. Remember, three games means we are going to take some risks and play a very GPP approach. Good luck!
Alexandar Georgiev – Colorado Avalanche: The Avalanche host the Blues tonight, and Georgiev should be in line for the win. The Blues have been struggling of late, scoring just 1.8 goals per game over their last five, and Georgiev’s numbers have been very solid. The shot volume may not be there, but he should be a decent ‘safe’-ish play tonight.
Jonathan Quick – Los Angeles Kings: This is a very interesting play that carries some risk. Quick’s numbers have been great recently, sporting a 1.58 GAA over his last five. However, some of that is due to the play in front of him. As a team, over their last five, the Kings are allowing just 18.76 scoring chances per 60 and 6.34 high danger chances against per 60. Keep in mind that there is a chance that Quick regresses, so hedge this play in a line or two with some Flames.
High Risk Goalie Pick – Arvid Soderblom Petr Mrazek- Chicago Blackhawks: The Hawks host the Hurricanes tonight, and this is a very intriguing risky play in net. The Canes are currently shooting about 25 times per game over their last five (during 5v5 play), and the Hawks have been giving up 30 shots against per game in that same time frame. There will be a ton of shot volume headed Soderblom’s way, and he has been very solid. He will let in a couple, maybe even more, but he should see the DraftKings save bonus. Anything more than that, like a sneaky win, would probably make him the top play if he performs well. UPDATE – Mrazek gets the nod in net. He is a lot more risky than Soderblom would have been, but is worth a shot, as all of the same factors are in play.
Others to Consider: Jacob Markstrom (CGY), Antti Raanta (CAR)
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).
Colorado Avalanche Power Play – Evan Rodrigues/Nathan MacKinnon/Artturi Lehkonen/Mikko Rantanen/Cale Makar: It’s very hard to argue against this play tonight, as the Avalanche host the Blues. The Avalanche have the top power play and will be facing the 28th ranked penalty kill for the Blues. This is a great play, and they will likely be heavily owned tonight.
Colorado Avalanche 2 – Evan Rodrigues/Alex Newhook/Martin Kaut/Jacob MacDonald: This is a little unconventional for us to list the same team twice, but the numbers for this even strength matchup cannot be ignored. This line will most likely see the second Blues’ line, who has a small sample. However, in the 20 minute sample of ice time, they are giving up 48.96 scoring chances against per 60 and 25.92 high danger chances against per 60. That’s enough reason, on a small slate, to heavily consider playing this line tonight. There is some risk here, but it will be very different.
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).
Los Angeles Kings 2 – Phillip Danault/Trevor Moore/Viktor Arvidsson/Sean Durzi: The Kings’ second line is in a good spot against the depth for Calgary. The Flames don’t really hard match, but this line should see a bunch of the second and third lines, creating a plus matchup. Throw in that Markstrom has been struggling a bit of late, and this looks like an interesting spot to play.
Carolina Hurricanes 3 – Jordan Staal/Jordan Martinook/Jesper Fast: If the Hawks run the same line matching scheme as the last couple of games, then this line should see a healthy dose of the top Hawks’ line. That puts this third line in a FANTASTIC spot tonight. They are cheap and could provide a ton of value. Make sure you aren’t stacking them against Soderblom in the same lineup.
Chicago Blackhawks 3 – Sam Lafferty/Boris Katchouk/Mackenzie Entwistle: This is another kind of crazy play tonight, and it pertains to the same line matching above. The third line over the last two games for the Hawks has matched the top opposing line, which would put these guys in a good spot. Their numbers aren’t as gaudy as the third Carolina line, but they are worth a look tonight in deeper GPPs.
