This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 2/13 on DraftKings and FanDuel. Both sites have fairly different scoring formats, particularly with the recent changes on DraftKings. We consider tournament tactics, statistics, pricing, and attempt to tackle this highly variable Daily Fantasy format so we can gain an edge on the field at large. BE SURE to double-check both regular and power play lines at both morning skate and before lock as they can drastically change from the time of publication.

Top Expensive Line

Tampa Bay One – Brayden Point, Nikita Kucherov, Steven Stamkos

The statuses of Steven Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov are an unknown as I sit and write this. The fact that they are a -200 favorite with a 3.82 implied goal total “both slate highs by a wide margin” with the assumption that they do not play, says it all. It has truly been a story of two halves for the Lightning this season, as they have been virtually unbeatable lately “9-0-1 over their last ten games”. I would expect them to be major chalk on a slate full of pick ems and tough matchups. The implied goal total would likely rise above four before game time, as I would expect either Nikita Kucherov or Steven Stamkos to return.

Top Value Line

New Jersey One – Kyle Palmieri, Jesper Bratt, Jack Hughes

The New Jersey Devils have not made this article very often if it all, but ZakPRB will be extremely satisfied tonight. The Devils are -180 favorites with a 3.43 implied goal total as they prepare to host the abysmal Red Wings. I did not want to target the Wings the other night as Buffalo has been terrible and that decision worked out. However, I think that we get back to abusing them tonight and we get to do it with a line that comes in extremely cheap considering their upside in this spot. If you were to leave one skater off, it would be Jesper Bratt, who unlike the other two skaters is not a member of the first power-play unit.

Top Expensive Line

Boston One – Patrice Bergeron, David Pastrnak, Brad Marchand

The Boston Bruins will play host to the Montreal Canadiens and should be extremely popular on this small, three-game slate. They come in strong -200 favorites. One note is that Brad Marchand is primarily playing as a setup man. While there is not a huge difference in the number of shots between the three, it is both Pasta and Patrice Bergeron taking the important shots; close to 85-90% of the slapshots and other one-timers, between the three. Therefore, I don’t mind the two-man mini stack of Bergeron and Pastrnak if you are looking to get some Boston exposure but simultaneously be a bit different.

Top Value Line

Vancouver Two – Elias Pettersson, Tanner Pearson, Jake Virtanen

The Chicago Blackhawks come in on the second night of a back to back and Vancouver should be able to take advantage. The Canucks are a -155 favorite in the highest total game of the night. I would like this line a lot more with J.T. Miller in it. However, Tanner Pearson has goals in two straight games so he is finding his groove. Jake Virtanen has also been a great source of value. Elias Pettersson is the only real stud here but with all of the savings you get from the other two, it won’t be hard to afford another. Because this is the late game and the lines are particularly fluid, I would be sure to double-check the lines during the pre-game skate.

Patrick Kane, Elias Pettersson, Johnny Gaudreau – Over 2.5 Points – The daily 2.5 point bet is up to 29/44 in what has generally been an off week, as Auston Matthews bombed but Nathan MacKinnon and Jack Eichel for three points we need. One of the MacKinnon assists came really late so a total bailout. We can only choose from the two-night games in the star shootout tonight, so I would recommend playing light.

Top Expensive Line

Toronto One – Auston Matthews, Mitchell Marner, Andreas Johnsson

This a large slate and there are a number of top options to choose from. It is likely that the Avalanche will be the most popular. The Avs 4.16 projected goal total and -280 money line status should sway most people their way. However, keep in mind, it has not been the first line simply doing all the work for Colorado, as has been the case in seasons past. Furthermore, if you try to squeeze all three Colorado skaters, you will feel a bankroll pinch.

With the inclusion of value skater Andreas Johnsson, Toronto simply gives you more bang for your buck. The Maple Leafs 3.5 implied goal total is good for the third-highest on the slate, just below the Avs and slightly under Buffalo’s 3.59. I know they are hosting the Red Wings, but I probably don’t have to tell you how I feel about the Sabres. Not mentioning them was a very intentional omission on my part.

Top Value Line

Colorado Two – Nazem Kadri, Andre Burakovsky, Valeri Nichushkin

As noted above, the Avalanche have been getting production from their depth lines, starting with the second line. This line has eleven full line goals over their last ten games, good for a tie for second in the NHL during that span with Edmonton’s second line, and just one beneath the Tampa Bay Lightning’s top unit, which is in first. Combining them with Toronto One would give you a piece of two of the three big total games. I also like the Winnipeg depth lines in terms of the search for value, but they are tournament only for me.

Nathan MacKinnon, Auston Matthews, Jack Eichel – Over 2.5 Points – The daily 2.5 point bet is down to 28/43 despite two points from Nikita Kucherov. Alex Ovechkin has cost us three slates now, as he put up another goose egg. He will never get to 700 goals at this rate. Anyway, tonight we move on to a trio of high profile studs who should fare much better.

Top Expensive Line

Philadelphia One – Claude Giroux, Sean Couturier, Jakub Voracek

The Flyers finally have their three best skaters paired on one line. Florida has been pretty porous on the road and Philadelphia has very distinct home/road splits as well. Philly has a 3.44 implied goal total, which is the highest on the slate, edging Washington by 0.06. As far as the Capitals go, I think that you can gain enough exposure by just eating Alex Ovechkin individually. However, this trio provides you with the most bang for your buck. All three skaters are also on the first power-play unit, providing you with an additional correlation.

Top Value Line

Calgary One – Sean Monahan, Johnny Gaudreau, Elias Lindholm

If I remember correctly, we tried targeting this exact spot a week or two ago to no avail. However, I’m stubborn and given the talent gap between these two teams right now, it is hard to imagine the Sharks trolling us again. Much like with the Flyers top line listed above, we have another situation where arguably the top three skaters on the team right now “only Matthew Tkachuk might argue” are suddenly paired on the first unit. Considering their form last year and the positive regression that we have seen recently, they are all still drastically underpriced.

Top Expensive Line

New York One – Mika Zibanejad, Chris Kreider, Pavel Buchnevich

It almost looked like this line was going to disappoint us the other night until both Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider scored goals towards the end of their game, with Zibanejad assisting on the Kreider score. It is clear that they are the heart and soul of this Rangers team right now, and they will get another plus matchup hosting the Kings. The other two games on this slate are pick ems, while the Rangers are a -180 favorite, so they should be popular. In the alternative, you can also go with Artemi Panarin who’s ownership should not be as high as it would’ve been a couple of weeks ago. I do not think that you need his linemates if going that route.

Top Value Line

Colorado Two – Nazem Kadri, Valeri Nichushkin, Andre Burakovsky

The Colorado top line will get far more ownership on this small three-game slate. However, the odds suggest that this game is a tossup and the top line is also extremely expensive. Instead, you can turn to the Colorado second line. They have had some off nights as of late, but generally, they have hit value more often than not. Understandably, teams tend to forget about the second line or downplay the attention on them, when preparing to face the Avalanche.
