This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 1/20 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

Colorado One – Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, Gabriel Landeskog.

There is no need to get cute on a two game slate. Build around the Colorado top line, who will hosting our favorite punching bag, the abysmal Detroit Red Wings. The Avs are a -330 favorite with a 4.33 implied goal total, which are both extreme for NHL purposes. Even if this were a ten game slate, they would likely be at the top of the rankings. In cash games, I would prioritize having all three and any tournament fade is merely to be contrarian. I think that you need a piece though no matter what the format.

Top Value Line

Florida Two – Noel Acciari, Vincent Trocheck, Brett Connolly

On FanDuel this line is just simply way too cheap. Noel Acciari is probably the stand out play at a very low $4,000 price tag on a slate that you need savings in order to fit Colorado One. He will no doubt be very popular and a staple of most cash lines on that site. On DraftKings, you can also consider the Minnesota Wild’s top line. However, the Panthers second line has been outproducing them and Florida is the road favorite. The price admittedly is not quite as appealing as it is on FanDuel but since savings are needed, they are still a strong play. The Panthers second line remains the third hottest line in the NHL over their past ten games, with nine full line goals and 131 SATF for, during that span.

Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, Dylan Larkin – Over 2.5 Points – The 2.5 point bet is down to 18/26 after a slow night on a three game slate. We should be able to bounce back here with the Colorado top line. Unfortunately, they do not allow you to mix games on this slate, so we will need to include one Red Wing.

Top Expensive Line

Chicago One – Dominik Kubalik, Jonathan Toews

This a tough three-game slate and not a whole lot sticks out. However, this line has continued to be nothing short of absolute fire, playing a major role in Chicago’s demolition of the Toronto Maple Leafs last night. Dominik Kubalik continues to remain underpriced during his torrid stretch and last night even near worthless linemate Drake Caggiula got in on the mix. The Blackhawks will play host to the Winnipeg Jets who continue to allow a ton of goals on the road.

Top Value Line

Carolina Two – Sebastian Aho, Teuvo Teravainen, Warren Foegele

If you recall last year’s playoffs and earlier this season, the Carolina Hurricanes are the Islanders daddy. They just own this team and at home in Raleigh, it should bring back plenty of painful memories for the Isles, and perhaps some deja vu as well. With Teuvo Teravainen back down on the second line, I think that is the line to target. Sebastian Aho was finally able to break his scoring slump last time out and perhaps this is the beginning of some positive regression for him. In the alternative, you can also pick a line on one of the two sides in the Columbus/Rangers game if looking elsewhere for value. However, at -180, Carolina is easily the highest favorite on the slate.

Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Artemi Panarin – Over 2.5 Points – The 2.5 point bet is down to 18/25 after coming up one point short last night. There aren’t too many options available tonight, but I think that these three skaters make the most sense out of who is available.

Top Two Lines

Montreal Two – Max Domi, Nick Suzuki, Artturi Lehkonen

The Chicago Blackhawks come into this one on the second night of a back to back, following a big overtime win over the Ottawa Senators. Since their top goaltender Robin Lehner was in net last night, the Canadiens will get to face the much more vulnerable Corey Crawford. We will have to see if Brendan Gallagher is finally going to return from a concussion at the morning skate. It is a coin flip which lines to use without him but I would lean towards line two, despite the fact that Ilya Kovalchuk makes for a fine one-off or add on for power-play correlation. If Brendan Gallagher is in, it would likely be the line with him in it “he usually skates on the first”. Montreal is a -150 home favorite and should be able to walk away with the win on home ice.

Chicago One – Jonathan Toews, Dominik Kubalik

The St. Louis Blues are a -175 home favorite against the Philadelphia Flyers, who have been awful on the road with their extreme splits. However, I also think that we can go back to this line, which has been fire personified, as those folks in the NHL discord chat are already well aware. There is no need to include Drake Cagguila as he is worthless, so I left him off above. However, the other two skaters have been absolutely killing it and make for great plays on the short slate. They combined for three goals last night and have seven over their last ten games. Nonetheless, they remain far too cheap. When you’re hot, you’re hot, and given the Canadiens’ recent struggles in net prior to Carey Price’s last two outings, I like this game to go over.

Patrick Kane, Brendan Gallagher, Alex Pietrangelo – Over 2.5 Points – The 2.5 point bet is up to a 16/22 hit rate as it smashed once again via an Auston Matthews hat trick, two point night for Nathan MacKinnon and Steven Stamkos goal. On a two game slate, the pickings are slimmer. I would wait to see if Brendan Gallagher is back though before placing it.

Top Expensive Line

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

It is just hard to find a way around Tampa Bay here. They come in a whopping -300 favorite, good for largest on the slate. Many people might also be attracted to the Toronto Maple Leafs, who come in a -250 favorite at home against the Devils. However, the Devils have played much better recently aside from one lopsided loss against the Rangers. I also think that the Tampa Bay top line is vastly more talented, as Auston Matthews individually is the only skater on their level. The Kings, meanwhile are traveling to Tampa from the west coast and should get shellacked. Prior to their hangup against the Devils, this line looked unstoppable. If you play on both sites, I would give them priority on DraftKings due to the savings you get on Brayden Point.

Top Value Line

New York Islanders One – Anders Lee, Jordan Eberle, Brock Nelson

I try not to be a homer but the Islanders are a hefty -275 home favorite for their faceoff with the woeful Detroit Red Wings. As Allan put it, “Detroit is playing like Brad Marchand taking a penalty shot”, in reference to Marchand’s big whiff last night. Matt Barzal has been pretty solid individually, but I would turn to the top line here. They have been the best overall line on the Islanders as of late, and come in following a two-goal game from Jordan Eberle, in what was otherwise a huge disappointment against the Rangers last night. Jimmy Howard aka “Slipping Jimmy” has already been confirmed in net, which is a huge bump for the Isles. I have no idea why he continues to draw starts with his awful 4.10 GAA and .880 save percentage. You might be able to find someone better off the street. When combined with all of the shots that the Red Wings allow, it’s the perfect recipe for a swift Islanders bounce back.
