We are back with another Hot Shot on a Tuesday! We have a nice 10 game slate tonight that offers us plenty of places to go. Let’s find the best NHL DFS plays for DraftKings and FanDuel. Good luck!

Goalies

James Reimer – San Jose Sharks: Reimer has been wildly inconsistent this year, but the matchup here against the Coyotes is pretty solid. The Coyotes have been struggling to score, so this feels like a safe play tonight.

Connor Hellebuyck – Winnipeg Jets: Hellebuyck continues to have very solid numbers on the year, and tonight the Jets head to Detroit to take on the Red Wings. This makes for a very solid matchup for Hellebuyck and the Jets.

Ilya Sorokin – New York Islanders: We have begun to learn that Dallas is a Jekyll and Hyde team when it comes to home/away stats. On the road, they struggle to score and are not nearly as much of a threat than when they are on home ice. This play has a good bit of upside, and could end up being a win for Sorokin.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Vitek Vanecek – New Jersey Devils: The Devils take on the Canes tonight, and while the Canes’ top line is in a great spot, this is a very nice spot for upside. The Hurricanes shoot a ton, so the save tally should add up quickly.

Others to Consider: Filip Gustavsson (MIN), Pyotr Kochetkov (CAR), Andrei Vasilevskiy (TBL)

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).

San Jose Sharks Power Play – Tomas Hertl/Logan Couture/Timo Meier/Alexander Barabanov/Erik Karlsson: The Sharks’ power play unit is not exactly best-in-class, but they should see their opportunities tonight against the most penalized team in the NHL. Pieces from the top line are very much in play tonight, as Arizona doesn’t really match much, so prioritize Hertl/Meier here.

Buffalo Sabres Power Play – Tage Thompson/Jeff Skinner/Alex Tuch/Dylan Cozens/Rasmus Dahlin: Last night, the Sabres were shut out by the *checks notes* PHILADELPHIA FLYERS?! Yes, that is correct. This unit was held off the board in a very surprising game. However, tonight should be very different, especially if Grubauer goes for Seattle. The Kraken were just in Montreal, so there is a good chance he does. No way the Sabres get shut out twice. Oh yeah, the Kraken PK is next to last in the league.

Carolina Hurricanes 1 – Sebastian Aho/Seth Jarvis/Max Pacioretty/Brent Burns: Now that Pacioretty has returned to the lineup, the Canes changed up their matching scheme a bit. This top line should see the third line for the Devils for most of the night, setting them up with a very nice matchup.

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).

St. Louis Blues 2 – Brayden Schenn/Brandon Saad/Ivan Barbashev: Since O’Reilly went out, this line has really been picking up the slack. This play is more of a hot streak play, and since Markstrom has not been very good this year, they make for some very good value. Saad has been absolutely on fire over the last few games.

Pittsburgh Penguins 3 – Jeff Carter/Kasperi Kapanen/Danton Heinen: This is a bold value call, but this line should see a lot of the top Vancouver line tonight. That sets this line up for a ton of chances, with a nice ceiling potential.

Calgary Flames 1 – Elias Lindholm/Tyler Toffoli/Dillon Dube/Rasmus Andersson: The Flames’ top line is in a good spot against the Blues tonight and should see plenty of chances. St. Louis has been pretty leaky defensively, so this is a nice upside spot.

Welcome back for another Monday Man Advantage! We have a nice little four game slate tonight that should feature a lot of scoring. There will be a few different ways to attack this slate. Let’s get into our NHL DFS picks for DraftKings and FanDuel. Good luck!

Goalies

Craig Anderson – Buffalo Sabres: Of the goalies on the slate, this one feels like the ‘safest’, as the Flyers bring a bad team to Buffalo on the tail end of a back-to-back. Anderson should be good for the win, but may have a limited ceiling.

Pheonix Copley – Los Angeles Kings: A goalie against the Oilers? Yeah, we are going to go there tonight. The Kings host the Oilers tonight, which means that there should be plenty of upside opportunity for Copley, who has some fantastic numbers. Expect him to give up a couple, but there is a good chance for a save bonus tonight (and maybe even a W).

High Risk Goalie Pick – Samuel Ersson – Philadelphia Flyers: The Flyers head to Buffalo tonight to face the Sabres. Ersson has some very solid numbers, and the shot volume should be pretty high tonight. This is one where he is unlikely to get the win, but should be in line for the DK save bonus. Hopefully, he doesn’t give up 8.

Others to Consider: Stuart Skinner (EDM), Juuse Saros (NSH)

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).

Buffalo Sabres 1 – Tage Thompson/Alex Tuch/Jeff Skinner/Rasmus Dahlin: Wow, the Sabres are in a fantastic spot tonight. The Flyers are coming into Buffalo after getting destroyed by Toronto last night. This top line has a great, great matchup against the second/third lines for the Flyers. Feel free to add Cozens to this group as a power play look.

Los Angeles Kings 1 – Anze Kopitar/Adrian Kempe/Quinton Byfield/Drew Doughty: This Kings line is in a very interesting spot tonight against the second Edmonton line. They should see quite a few chances, and could be a surprise on the night. Also, consider adding in Fiala and Vilardi and taking out Byfield to create a power play look. The Oilers are 23rd on the penalty kill and take the 5th most penalties in the league.

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).

Montreal Canadiens 3 – Jake Evans/Evgenii Dadonov/Joel Armia: In their last game at home, this third line matched the top opposing line. If they go back to that tonight, then this line is set up to be one of the best values on the board. They are extremely cheap and will have a ton of upside. There is a lot of risk in this play, especially if Montreal changes their matching schemes, but this is a great contrarian play if they stick with it.

Nashville Predators 1 – Juuso Parssinen/Colton Sissons/Filip Forsberg/Roman Josi: This Nashville line has a good chance tonight against the Senators. This play is mostly about the goalie matchup, as they get to face Talbot, who has some terrible numbers recently. This game feels very much like a coin flip, so Ottawa 1 could be listed here just as well. MME players should have both sides of this game.

Seattle Kraken Power Play – Matty Beniers/Daniel Sprong/Jordan Eberle/Andre Burakovsky/Justin Schultz: The Kraken are a hard team to play, since their scoring pretty much comes from everywhere. However, it is hard to ignore them tonight against a Montreal team that is just bad on defense. The Canadiens are 4th in times shorthanded per game at 3.6, so this unit should see some chances tonight.

Philadelphia Flyers 2 – Noah Cates/Travis Konecny/Joel Farabee: As much as the top line for the Sabres is good on offense, it lacks on defense. That sets this second Philly line up as an interesting value/contrarian play.

NHL DFS Honorable Mentions: EDMPP, OTT1

Welcome back to the Friday Night WinDaily NHL Between the Benches Article for our first Friday article of the year! After last night’s pandemonium at the World Juniors Finals, we are locked and loaded with NHL content for tonight’s slate! Tonight, we have a medium-sized 6-game slate, and there will be lots to enjoy this evening! Tonight’s 1/6 NHL 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!

1/6 NHL Stack Report

1. Florida Panthers 1 (Tkachuk-Barkov-Verhaeghe)

— The Panthers have been bad this season, after all the big moves they made, they simply have not performed well and it has been in large part due to their poor defensive abilities rather than their offensive ones. In fact they are first place in the league in shots on goal per game and in the top half of the league in goals per game but sit 23rd in goals allowed and 19th in shots on goal allowed per game. This stark contrast on top of the inconsistency from starting goalie Sergei Bobrovsky has led to the Panthers poor position in the standings. Thankfully for them, today they have an opportunity to put their season back on the right track against a Red Wings team who has had their own bouts of inconsistency. Florida’s top line in particular has been incredibly deadly and dependable as of late as between the three, they have nine goals and seven assists over their last four games. On top of that, all three members of the top line see over 16 minutes a game on average and they all see power play time with Tkachuk and Barkov on the top line and Verhaeghe on the second power play unit. The Red Wings are also set to start Ville Husso who has been beyond bad as of late as he has allowed over four goals in each of his last five starts and as such it should come as no surprise that the Panthers have one of the highest implied totals of the slate at 3.6 goals. This game could still end up being a close one but you can rely on the Panthers top line to put some points on the board tonight.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Brandon Montour

2. Arizona Coyotes 3 (Ritchie-Hayton-Fischer)

— This is literally the Connor Bedard Bowl as both teams are in the bottom 5 of the entire league with the Blackhawks in dead last, having lost their last five games. For what it’s worth the Coyotes haven’t done much better, dropping their last 3 games including a 6-2 thumping against the Philadelphia Flyers. Interestingly enough, one Coyotes line has consistently been able to get points despite everything going up in Flames around them, its Arizona’s third line. Specifically, Barrett Hayton and Nick Ritchie who between them have nine points over their last four games. Tonight in particular, they are up against the worst team in the league, offensively, defensively and everywhere in between the Hawks have been awful this season. Even against the Coyotes, it doesn’t look like it will get much better for them tonight as the Hawks are most likely starting Petr Mrazek in goal who has had one of the worst seasons of his entire career, including last season where he spent most of the year injured. This season he is 2-10-1 with a 4.19 goals against average and a .878 save percentage. There’s really no way to spin these numbers into a positive except for the fact that the Yotes have only put up slightly better numbers defensively. Which is why both teams are coming into this game with an implied total above three. Also, it is of note that both Ritchie and Hayton see well over 15 minutes of ice-time per game and Barrett Hayton also appears on the Yotes top power play unit.  There is always a bit of risk when dealing with two teams who have played so poorly and so inconsistently this season but this line has been performing well and the value on these two (Hayton and Ritchie) will help you fit the mammoth Panthers top line into your DFS lineups tonight.


Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Jakob Chychrun

Honorable Mention(s): San Jose Sharks 1 (Meier-Hertl-Labanc), Calgary Flames 1 (Dube-Lindholm-Toffoli)

1/6 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

  1. Charlie Lindgren
  2. Andrei Vasilevskiy
    Honorable Mention(s): Conor Ingram

Worst (Goalies to Target)

1. Petr Mrazek
Honorable Mention(s): Ville Husso

1/6 NHL Wild Card Targets

Connor Sheary
– Fresh off of a five game point streak, Conor Sheary has looked incredible towards the end of December and heading into January. His recent point streak included three multipoint games and a short handed goal. He now has 27 points on the season, and is coming up against a Nashville side that is not known for their defensive abilities as they allow over 3 goals on average per game and are the third worst team in the league for shots on goal allowed per game. Sheary also sees time on the Capitals top line alongside Ovechkin and Kuznetzov as well as the Capitals second power play unit. At over 16 minutes of ice time per game, I think Sheary is definitely worth the risk.
Honorable Mention(s): Alexander Barabanov, Brandon Hagel, Dylan Strome

Happy new year! Yesterday, 2023 was welcomed with the annual Winter Classic, which has become a great event over the years. With that being the focal point for the day, there was not a good slate to play. However, today brings us a nice 11 game slate that looks like a nice one to attack. Let’s look into the first big slate of ’23 and find the best NHL DFS plays for DraftKings and FanDuel. Good luck!

Goalies

Andre Vasilevskiy – Tampa Bay Lightning: The Lightning head to Chicago tonight in what should be a fairly lopsided game. This is a solid safe play, but the shot upside could be limited.

Connor Hellebuyck – Winnipeg Jets: The Jets host the Flames tonight, and this looks like a nice upside spot for Hellebuyck, who has quietly been one of the better goalies this season.

Pheonix Copley – Los Angeles Kings: The Kings host Dallas tonight, who tends to struggle a bit on the road. This should be a fairly tight matchup, and goalies from this game make a lot of sense.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Joonas Korpisalo – Columbus Blue Jackets: Korpisalo’s overall numbers are not that great. However, this one is about opportunity. His numbers over his last five look decent, and Ottawa has been struggling to score a bit. That, combined with the potential for shot volume upside, make him an interesting contrarian play tonight.

Others to Consider: Jake Oettinger (DAL), Ilya Samsonov (TOR), Juuse Saros (NSH), Anton Forsberg (OTT)

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).

Tampa Bay Lightning Power Play – Brayden Point/Brandon Hagel/Steven Stamkos/Nikita Kucherov/Victor Hedman: The Lightning have just about the best matchup on the board tonight against a very bad Chicago team. This is the fifth ranked power play unit in the league, and it is going up against a PK unit in the bottom 10. There will be a ton of chances to go around for both top lines, so make sure you get some of this unit.

Florida Panthers 1 – Aleksander Barkov/Matthew Tkachuk/Carter Verhaeghe/Aaron Ekblad: This line has a date with the Coyotes tonight, and they should have a field day. The top line is the production line for the Cats, and they should have ample opportunity at all strengths tonight against a porous defense. Tkachuk on this line makes them even better, and this should be a focus tonight.

Toronto Maple Leafs 1 – Auston Matthews/William Nylander/Michael Bunting/Morgan Rielly: The Leafs are in a great spot tonight against a pretty banged up Blues team. On home ice, this line should split duties with the Kampf line against the Thomas line, setting them up for a ton of chances.

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).

Edmonton Oilers Power Play – Connor McDavid/Leon Draisaitl/Ryan Nugent-Hopkins/Zach Hyman/Tyson Barrie: This unit just dominated the Kraken in Seattle four days ago. With Draisaitl back in the mix tonight, there is a good chance it happens again. However, with the salary and the fact that people may chase, it puts a little risk on this play.

Carolina Hurricanes 2 – Sebastian Aho/Teuvo Teravainen/Seth Jarvis: The Canes are in an interesting spot in what should be a good game. The Rangers have been a little leaky defensively, and this line should see a little more of the top Ranger line. This game could very well be tight and low scoring, which is why it is a risky play.

Ottawa Senators 2 – Shane Pinto/Alex Debrincat/Drake Batherson/Thomas Chabot: The Sens’ second line is in a very good spot tonight against the Blue Jackets’ second line. The risk here is that Ottawa has been struggling slightly to score, and Korpisalo has some decent looking recent numbers. Chabot/Debrincat/Batherson correlate on the power play, which is a nice bonus.

New York Islanders 2 – Brock Nelson/Anthony Beauvillier/Anders Lee: This line is worth a look against one of the leakiest defensive teams in Vancouver, but they just are not that exciting. Limit your exposure here, but it makes sense if you are MME tonight.

Welcome back to the last Friday Night WinDaily NHL Between the Benches Article of the year! Only two slates left til 2023, so we gotta get those takedowns just in time for New Year! Tonight, we have a small 3-game slate tonight, but there will still be lots to enjoy this evening! Tonight’s 12/30 NHL 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!

12/30 NHL Stack Report

1. Edmonton Oilers 1 (Hyman-McDavid-Puljajarvi)

— Unlike the last article, there really aren’t any crystal clear mismatches on tonight’s slate, but like last week’s article, Connor McDavid is, in fact, on the slate and this season, he has been a particularly dangerous offensive presence, and I don’t see the Kraken slowing him down. Especially when these two division rivals are literally neck and neck in the Pacific Division standings, with both teams sitting on 40 points with the Kraken holding three games in hand, putting them in the second Wild Card slot over the Oilers. We can definitely expect a lot of goals in this matchup as both teams hold high implied totals (the Oilers hold a 3.4 implied goal total to the Kraken’s 3.3), and the O/U is currently set at 6.5. Both projected starting goalies tonight have had shaky seasons, especially Jones, who, despite holding a positive 14-5-3 record, has a shocking 2.99 goals against average and a save percentage below .900. The Kraken have also not been able to keep up with their form at the beginning of the season as they have dropped four of their last six games. Back to McDavid for a minute, he is the current leader in goals with a 10-goal cushion over the next highest goalscorer, his teammate Leon Draisaitl, and McDavid is currently tied for third in assists, only two behind the league leader Nikita Kucherov. It has been incredible to watch McDavid’s playmaking ability this season and his game-breaking speed that can change the course of a game. Regarding McDavid’s linemates, Hyman has also been electric this season with 37 goal contributions, while Puljajarvi has been less clinical in front of goal with only two goals and six assists this season. However, all three members of the Oilers’ top line see Power Play time, with McDavid and Hyman on the first unit and Puljajarvi on the second unit. I would recommend pairing McDavid with either Hyman or Barrie for tonight’s NHL Slate.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Tyson Barrie

2. Pittsburgh Penguins 2 (Zucker-Malkin-Rust)

— I was hesitating between the Penguins’ first and second lines but honestly, the Penguins’ second line has really been in form as of late. For example, before a bit of a cool down, he registered a nine-game point streak and has registered three goals and ten assists over the month of December, giving him more than a point per game this month. Not to mention, both Zucker and Rust are coming off multi-point games against the Red Wings, and the Pens’ top line has just not been at that same level of consistency as we head into the New Year. Also of note is that all three members of the Pens’ second line see power-play time, with Malkin on the top unit and Rust and Zucker appearing on the second power-play unit. The Penguins are also favoured in tonight’s game against the Devils and hold a high implied total (3.4) against one of the better defensive teams in the league. The Penguins’ second line is definitely a strong option for a secondary line to support the Oilers’ top line.


Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Pierre-Oliver Joseph (Ty Smith is a good value option here too)

Honorable Mention(s): Carolina Hurricanes 1 (Svechnikov-Stastny-Necas), Florida Panthers 1 (Verhaeghe-Barkov-White)

  2. Pyotr Kochetkov
    Honorable Mention(s): Stuart Skinner

Worst (Goalies to Target)

1. Martin Jones
Honorable Mention(s): N/A

12/30 NHL Wild Card Targets

Jordan Staal
– With an assist in his last game, his point streak currently sits at five games, and although at 34 years old, his best days of hockey are behind him, there is definitely some value while he is still producing points like this. I honestly don’t see him being an exciting player down the stretch this season, but on a small three-game slate without a ton of value options, I can get behind a guy like Jordan Staal. He has also been seeing a generous increase in ice time, getting up above 18 minutes twice during his 5-game point streak and on the top Penalty Kill for the Canes; there’s always the chance he gets a short-handed point as well!

Ahh, that magical week between Christmas and New Year’s! Time, calories, and money don’t matter, and it’s a great week to just sit back and relax! Hopefully you are all enjoying your holiday season so far. The NHL returns tonight from its holiday break with a massive 11 game slate. It was originally 12, but the Columbus game has been postponed due to weather. With that being said, let’s dive into it and check out our DFS picks for DraftKings and FanDuel. Good luck!

Goalies

Pyotr Kochetkov – Carolina Hurricanes: Kochetkov is in a good spot again tonight as the Canes host the Blackhawks. There isn’t much to say about this matchup, as the Hawks are struggling a ton right now, and Kochetkov is a solid goaltender so far this season.

Connor Hellebuyck – Winnipeg Jets: The Jets host the Wild tonight, and this looks like a nice upside spot for Hellebuyck, who has quietly been one of the better goalies this season.

Pheonix Copley – Los Angeles Kings: The Kings host Vegas tonight, and Vegas is pretty banged up. Copley has been playing well this season and has a good matchup tonight against the Knights.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Jacob Markstrom – Calgary Flames: This one is a really tough pill to swallow, but there is some value in playing Markstrom against the Oilers tonight. He was struggling going into the break, but the hope here is that the break did him well. Coming back rested might help him in a game where he should see a ton of shot volume. He should be in line for a save bonus, but he could also let in 5.

Others to Consider: Karel Vejmelka (ARI), Jake Oettinger (DAL), Darcy Kuemper (WAS), Juuse Saros (NSH)

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).

Carolina Hurricanes 1 – Paul Stastny/Andrei Svechnikov/Martin Necas/Brent Burns: There’s no two ways about it, the Hurricanes are in about the best spot you can be in against the Blackhawks tonight. The Hawks have been terrible defensively, and this line should see mostly the Toews line tonight, which is a good matchup.

Toronto Maple Leafs 1 – Auston Matthews/Michael Bunting/William Nylander: The Leafs’ top line has a very, very nice matchup tonight against the Blues and the O’Reilly line. The Blues have the worst HDCA/60 in their last five games on the entire slate, and the Leafs have the best HDCF/60. There should be a ton of chances for this line tonight, and they should be one of the top plays of the evening.

San Jose Sharks 1 – Tomas Hertl/Kevin Labanc/Timo Meier/Erik Karlsson: Under the assumption that they put this line back together with Hertl back in the mix, the Sharks’ top line has a prime opportunity tonight. They see the Canucks, who are very leaky defensively. This line has a fantastic opportunity 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).

Calgary Flames 3 – Mikael Backlund/Blake Coleman/Andrew Mangiapane: Last game out, this line matched the opposing top line for the Blues. If they follow that same matching scheme tonight, they will be up against the McDavid line in a very, very good matchup. It’s a small sample size, but the McDavid line is giving up 33.67 SCA/60 and 21.64 HDCA/60, setting this line up to be a potentially sneaky play.

Pittsburgh Penguins 2 – Evgeni Malkin/Jason Zucker/Bryan Rust: The second line for the Pens is in a very nice looking spot tonight against the Islanders, who bleed chances.

Carolina Hurricanes 3 – Jordan Staal/Jesper Fast/Jordan Martinook: This line absolutely exploded the other night, and they have a very good chance of doing that again tonight. They should match the Domi line for the Hawks tonight in a very, very juicy matchup.

Vancouver Canucks 3 – Elias Pettersson/Lane Pederson/Andrei Kuzmenko: This line doesn’t feel like a true third line, but the opportunity tonight is very good for them. Reimer for the Sharks has been struggling, so there should be plenty of chances for this game to go pretty high scoring.

Welcome back to another Friday Night WinDaily NHL Between the Benches Article! Only a few slates left til 2023, and tonight we have a large 11-game slate tonight so there will be lots to enjoy this evening! Tonight’s 12/23 NHL 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!

12/23 NHL Stack Report

1. Edmonton Oilers 1 (Hyman-McDavid-Puljajarvi)

— We’re starting off today’s article with the far and away best matchup on the slate as the league’s 3rd best offence goes up against the league’s 3rd worst defence. Statistically, this translates into a 3.65 goals-per-game average for the Oilers, while their divisional rival, the Canucks, cough up an average of 3.9 goals a game. Heading into Rogers place tonight, the Oilers hold the biggest implied total on today’s massive slate and are facing a team on the second half of a back-to-back who had a thrilling 6-5 game which ended in a shootout. In fact, the Canucks, in general, have been seeing a lot of extra ice time lately as their last six wins have either come by way of shootout or overtime, that fatigue will add up over time and I think it’ll have a part to play in tonight’s matchup against Connor McDavid (league leader in both goals and assists) and the Edmonton Oilers. Another Major target point in this matchup is power plays. The Oilers have the best power play in the league, their conversion rate is over 33%, and the Canucks Penalty Kill rate is the worst in the league at 67%, on top of that, the Canucks are also near the worst in the league in penalties drawn per game at 11, so the Oilers should have plenty of opportunities to capitalize on their league-leading power play, which all three of the top line play on as McDavid and Hyman appear on the top power-play unit and Puljajarvi appears on the Oilers second power-play unit. Overall, I’d say this is a clear mismatch, and I would urge everyone to take a piece of the Oilers for their DFS lines tonight.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Tyson Barrie

2. Dallas Stars 1 (Robertson-Hintz-Pavelski)

— My second favourite line of the slate are the Dallas Stars, who also hold one of the highest implied totals of the slate at 4 implied goals coming in tonight at home against the Montreal Canadiens. Offensively, this matchup is a bit of a joke, the Stars are near the top of the league in most offensive stat categories, including goals per game (3.56) and shooting percentage (11.2), while the Canadiens are near the bottom of the league with a mere 2.7 goals per game average and a league’s worst 13.6% power play conversion rate. Defensively, things don’t get much better for the Canadiens, as the Stars are putting up modest defensive numbers this season, the Canadiens are giving up an average of 3.45 goals against per game and registering nearly 12 penalty minutes a game. All three of Dallas’ first line also appear on Dallas’ top power-play unit. Furthermore, Dallas’ top line in particular has been rolling as of late with 8 points over their last three games including three in their last game against the Edmonton Oilers last Wednesday. Robertson, in particular, will be a top player to watch in tonight’s game as he is just five goals shy of the league leader, Connor McDavid. Although, not as crucial as having a share of the Oilers’ top line tonight, I would definitely recommend including some shares of Dallas’ top line for your DFS Builds tonight.


Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Miro Heiskanen

Honorable Mention(s): Carolina Hurricanes 1 (Svechnikov-Stastny-Necas), Calgary Flames 1 (Dube-Lindholm-Toffoli), Arizona Coyotes 1 (Schmaltz-Boyd-Keller)

  2. Jake Oettinger
    Honorable Mention(s): Stuart Skinner

Worst (Goalies to Target)

1. Jonathan Quick
Honorable Mention(s): Samuel Ersson

12/23 NHL Wild Card Targets

Michael Amadio
– Even though he has not recorded a lot of points this season, he has been on a bit of a roll with points in his last two games as he has taken a role on the Golden Knights’ top line alongside Chandler Stephenson and Mark Stone as such he is seeing a spike in ice time and has been effective with it as last game, he put 5 shots on target while recording just shy of 16 minutes of ice-time. Tonight, the conference-leading Golden Knights are facing off against a middle-of-the-pack Blues team who have suffered from some shaky goaltending from starter Jordan Binnington who has given up an average of over 3 goals a game.
Honorable Mention(s): Erik Gustafsson, Dillon Dube, Mason Marchment

We are back with another nice 8 game slate tonight! This is the balance that a lot of us wish for in the NHL schedule, but it usually doesn’t come this way, so take advantage while we can. Last night was a pretty good night with STL3 going off. Hopefully we can repeat that tonight. Check out our NHL DFS picks for FanDuel and DraftKings below. Good luck!

Goalies

James Reimer – San Jose Sharks: The Sharks host the Flames tonight, who have been struggling to score of late. Even though the Sharks will be without Hertl tonight due to suspension, this is a good spot for the Sharks. Reimer has been playing well since his return from IR.

Pyotr Kochetkov – Carolina Hurricanes: We haven’t come up with a nickname for him just yet, but Kochetkov has been playing very well this season. He gets an interesting matchup tonight against the Devils on home ice, where he should see some solid upside. There should be some solid shot volume in this game overall, but both teams have been limiting defensively of late.

Tristan Jarry – Pittsburgh Penguins: This one is a little risky, as the Pens host the Rangers tonight. There will be potential for upside, and the Rangers have been a little inconsistent. Overall, though, this could be a very tight game that is ripe for goalies in DFS.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Matt Murray – Toronto Maple Leafs: Murray and the Leafs host the Lightning tonight, and this should be a high volume night for Murray. He has been pretty solid this year, but the opponent makes him risky tonight.

Others to Consider: Vitek Vanecek (NJD), Carter Hart (PHI)

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).

Los Angeles Kings 1 – Anze Kopitar/Adrian Kempe/Kevin Fiala/Drew Doughty: On home ice, the Kings match this top line with the second opposing line. Tonight, they get to face the Ducks’ second line that absolutely bleeds chances. This line has a lot of potential tonight, and makes for a great late night hammer. This game overall should feature quite a bit of scoring.

Ottawa Senators 1 – Derick Brassard/Claude Giroux/Brady Tkachuk/Thomas Chabot: The Sens head to Winnipeg tonight to face David Rittich and the Jets. Rittich has been pretty shaky of late, and the matchup for this line looks very good on paper. With Ottawa playing well right now, this is a solid play for tonight. A power play look makes sense if you want to get some access to the second line as well.

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).

Philadelphia Flyers 1 – Morgan Frost/James van Riemsdyk/Owen Tippett/Tony DeAngelo: The Flyers are heavy favorites tonight on home ice against the Blue Jackets. However, the Flyers are also a mess of an organization, and they have been struggling mightily this season. The Blue Jackets are also bad, so this game really could go either way. It’s hard to deny that the Philly top line is in play, but they come with inherent risk.

Winnipeg Jets 2 – Pierre-Luc Dubois/Kyle Connor/Sam Gagner: The Jets host the Senators tonight in what should be a high event game. Both teams have solid rates offensively, and both goalies are fairly shaky. This line should see the likes of the top six for the Sens, which is a good matchup for them.

Seattle Kraken 2 – Alex Wennberg/Oliver Bjorkstrand/Jaden Schwartz: There is a nice matchup for this line if they match the same way that they did last time against the Blues. These guys should have some considerable upside tonight, and the Blues are on a back to back.

The holiday week brings us the most balance in the NHL schedule that we have seen all year. We have a nice eight game slate to dive into tonight, which is a great slate size. Let’s get into our NHL DFS picks for DraftKings and FanDuel. Good luck!

Goalies

Linus Ullmark – Boston Bruins: Ullmark and the B’s host the Panthers tonight, and this is a very solid matchup, with upside. The Panthers have been struggling to light the lamp over their last five, but should still throw a decent amount of shots at Ullmark.

Charlie Lindgren – Washington Capitals: Lindgren has been playing very well recently, and he has a chance to extend that tonight with a home date against the Red Wings. Even with Larkin back for Detroit, this looks like a very good spot for Lindgren.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Juuse Saros – Nashville Predators: This is a tough pill to swallow, but no one will go here, and he will see a ton of shot volume. At home, with the shot volume, plus the fact that he has good numbers over his last five, make him a very interesting upside GPP candidate.

Others to Consider: Jordan Binnington (STL), Jake Oettinger (DAL)

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).

Boston Bruins Power Play – Patrice Bergeron/Brad Marchand/Jake Debrusk/David Pastrnak/Hampus Lindholm: The Bruins have a solid matchup tonight against a middle of the road penalty killing unit for the Panthers. The Bruins have been cruising, while the Panthers have been leaky defensively. There is a chance that the Panthers will also be without Barkov tonight, which would make this an even better play.

Vegas Golden Knights 2 – William Karlsson/Jonathan Marchessault/Reilly Smith: The Knights host the Sabres tonight, and this one is mostly about the goalie matchup. The Sabres, as of this morning, appear to be rolling out Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, who has not been very good this season. Without Eichel, the Knights have had to rely on this line for scoring, and tonight is no different. They should have a solid matchup tonight against the top line for the Sabres.

Washington Capitals 1 – Dylan Strome/Alex Ovechkin/Conor Sheary/John Carlson: Ovi continues to chase the great Gordie Howe on the scoring list, and he has a chance to tie and even pass him tonight against a porous Detroit defense. It is going to be hard for the Wings to contain this line tonight, and this is a great spot for Ovi and this top line.

St. Louis Blues 3 – Robert Thomas/Jordan Kyrou/Ivan Barbashev: Listing a third line as a line to build around feels weird, but the matchup for this line is undeniable. The Blues will be facing a Canucks team that is bleeding goals and chances. The matchup for this line appears to be against the bottom six, which sets them up VERY nicely 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).

Arizona Coyotes 2 – Nick Bjugstad/Lawson Crouse/Matias Maccelli: The Coyotes are rarely listed as a DFS play, but this game can be looked at for some scoring. Both they and the Canadiens are terrible on defense and in net, so there should be a healthy amount of scoring here. The risk? Well, it’s the Coyotes, and good luck trying to determine where the scoring comes from. This line should have a decent number of chances tonight, so they are worth a GPP look.

Dallas Stars 1 – Roope Hintz/Joe Pavelski/Jason Robertson/Miro Heiskanen: The top line for the Stars has a very nice matchup tonight against the Blue Jackets’ top line. They should see plenty of chances, but Dallas has been fairly quiet of late. Tonight is a potential get-right spot for them, and they could be very sneaky.

Edmonton Oilers 1 – Connor McDavid/Leon Draisaitl/Zach Hyman/Darnell Nurse: This top line for the Oilers is always in play, and they get an interesting matchup tonight. Nashville has been somewhat limiting defensively, which is what makes them a little risky, along with the fact that they are so expensive.

Nashville Predators 1 – Thomas Novak/Mikael Granlund/Filip Forsberg/Roman Josi: While the top line for the Oilers faces off against the Predators’ second line, this line should be set up against the depth for the Oilers. That, plus the fact that Campbell is very shaky in net, makes them a very interesting play tonight.

Welcome back to another Friday Night WinDaily NHL Between the Benches Article! Only a small three-gamer slate tonight but there will be lots to enjoy this evening! Tonight’s 12/16 NHL slate begins at 8:00 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Let’s get right into it!

12/16 NHL Stack Report

1. Minnesota Wild 1 (Zuccarello-Steel-Kaprizov)

— This is the clear mismatch of the night as the second worst team in the NHL, the Chicago Blackhawks, face off against their Central division rivals in the Minnesota Wild. Where do we begin with this one… for starters, the star of the Wild’s top line has been scoring at an insane clip, Kirill Kaprizov has points in 16 of his last 17 games and both Zucarello and Steel have been putting up points on a regular basis. One major advantage in their hopes of getting on their scoresheet tonight is their opponent. Right off the bat they have a 4.1 implied goal total, and that makes a lot of sense as the goalie they’re facing is Petr Mrazek who allowed 7 goals in his last start and holds a goals against average of 4.37 and save percentage of just .873. On top of that embarrassing stat line, the Blackhawks have lost their last five games while the Wild have won their last three. Over those five losses for the Blackhawks, they were shut out twice and gave up at least three goals a game. This is a prime opportunity to exploit the one pure mismatch of the night, yes they will be chalky but you won’t want to be left behind when they hit bit.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Jared Spurgeon (cheaper alternative Calen Addison)

2. Calgary Flames 1 (Dube-Kadri-Mangiapane)

— Despite Calgary’s recent struggles this line has been putting together some solid performances on the ice. Both Dube and Mangiapane have three points over their last three games and Kadri has six points over his last six games, with all three getting on the score sheet in the razor thin loss against the Vancouver Canucks last Wednesday. Tonight, they’re up against a Blues side who is not only on the second half of a back-to-back but the game they took part in last night was extra exhausting as they came back late against the Oilers to tie the game with a short-handed goal, only to give up a goal to McDavid in overtime which was then called back for offside and then the Blues were finally able to win it in a shootout. After a rollercoaster like that, any team would be rightly exhausted going into their second of two games on the road. This gives the Flames an excellent opportunity to capitalize against backup keeper Thomas Greiss who holds a 3-4-0 record along with a 3.69 GAA and a Save Percentage just below .900. The Flames are also coming into this game with the second highest implied total of the slate at 3.7 and every member of the Flames second line sees time on the Flames power play with Kadri on the top unit and Dube and Mangiapane on the second unit. I would recommend including some of the Flames second line in your Daily Fantasy lineups tonight!


Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Rasmus Andersson

Honorable Mention(s): New York Islanders 1 (Lee-Barzal-Wahlstrom), Calgary Flames 1 (Huberdeau-Lindholm-Toffoli)

12/16 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

  1. Marc-Andre Fleury
  2. Ilya Sorokin
    Honorable Mention(s): Dan Vladar

Worst (Goalies to Target)

1. Karel Vejmelka
Honorable Mention(s): Petr Mrazek

12/16 NHL Wild Card Targets

Frederick Gaudreau
– Even though he is not alongside Kaprizov and Zuccarello. Gaudreau has been putting together a couple of solid performances as of late as he has three goals over his last two games and he’s steadily seeing over 13 minutes of ice time per game. We previously discussed the weaknesses of Petr Mrazek earlier in the article and Gaudreau is an affordable way to get some exposure on the Wild as I recommend that you target Mrazek in one form or another tonight, whether it is through the top line of the slate or a value piece like Gaudreau or Matt Boldy.
Honorable Mention(s): Brock Nelson, Matt Boldy, Mikael Backlund, Lawson Crouse
