Los Angeles Kings

Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot, where I’ll go through the top NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel

It’s Saturday and that means we have a full slate on our hands.  Tonight we have ourselves a really solid 10-game slate of NHL DFS.  There are a handful of high-powered offenses that we’ll want to get into our lineups.  We also have some really bad teams on the ice that we’ll want to attack.  It’s shaping up to be an extremely fun slate. 

Let’s dig in and make some money!

NHL DFS Goalies

Connor Ingram vs. Nashville Predators

The Coyotes should be turning over the crease to Connor Ingram this evening.  I plan on locking him as my goalie tonight as he fits the bill that I normally look for, cheap and productive.  Ingram is just $7.2k tonight and he plays far from a minimum-salary goalie.  Over his last 3 starts, Ingram has games of 23, 18.6, and 22.8 DK points. 

If he can come even close to that tonight against an average Predators offense, I will gladly take it.  With a tag of $7.2k and the potential for points in the 20’s, that’s an extreme value and really solidifies our lineup.  Lock and load Ingram tonight. 

Alexandar Georgiev vs. St. Louis Blues

If you’re looking for more of a cash-game goaltender tonight, I’d side with Alexandar Georgiev.  Georgiev is a little more pricier than Ingram at $8.3k on DK, but he’s also a much safer bet to get the W and perform well.  The Avalanche are a huge favorite tonight against the Blues at -255. 

I will add though that Georgiev has struggled a bit of late, with 4 consecutive duds.  That said, this a solid get-right spot for him vs. a Blues offense that really isn’t all that impressive. 

Other goalies: Igor Shesterkin, Tristan Jarry, and Ilya Samsonov

NHL DFS Stacks – Main

Vancouver 1 (Elias Pettersson, Ilya Mikheyev, Andrei Kuzmenko) vs. Ottawa Senators

This line worked out really well for us on Thursday when I recommended them and they get just as good of a matchup tonight against Toronto as they did on Thursday vs. Ottawa. The Canucks will be facing off against Ilya Samsonov.  Samsonov has been horrendous.  This season he has a 4.11 GAA and just a .855 save %.  Both numbers are really bad.  He has multiple games this year allowing at least 4 goals and has let up less than 3 just twice in his 7 starts. 

He’s someone who will allow the puck to get past him early and often.  It’s not only his fault though as the Maple Leafs have not been good defensively.  They have allowed well over 4 goals per game over the last couple of weeks and pretty close to 14 high-danger chances.  They are a team that, although they can score, they give up just as many just as quickly. 

Over their last 3 games, this line has combined to score 4 goals.  Elias Pettersson is the anchor of this line and the one that I’m most interested in.  Over his last 5 games, Pettersson has been brilliant with 5 goals and 6 assists.  Yes, he’s expensive at $7.9k but he’s a star on this team and one that we can often count on to fill the box sheet. 

Next to him will be Ilya Mikheyev and Andrei Kuzmenko.  Mikheyev is coming off one of his better games of the season that saw him score 2 goals and put 4 shots on net.  Do I expect that again from him?  No, but with a solid matchup, I do expect him to get in on the scoring.  He’s a solid value at $4.4k.  Adding Quinn Hughes to this stack is also a smart move.  He’s making a very strong case for the Norris Trophy.

Los Angeles 1 (Anze Kopitar, Quinton Byfield, Adrian Kempe) vs. Philadelphia Flyers

Before we start, we’re going to have a little history lesson.  Name the team that provided the first win for the historically bad San Jose Sharks.  If you said the Flyers, you are right.  This is a pretty weak Flyers team this season.  Yes, they are coming off a victory vs. the Ducks last night, but they are still a bad team.  I plan on attacking them often tonight with the Kings.  Over the last couple of weeks, the Flyers are giving up pretty close to 4 goals per game. 

They should have backup goal Cal Petersen in net tonight with Hart still nursing a back injury and Ersson playing last night.  In his lone appearance this season, Petersen let up 5 goals against this same Kings team. 

This top line for LA has been very good.  Not only do they have 3 combined goals over their last 3 games, they also have 54 shot attempts on net.  That’s more than any trio over their last 3 games.  We’ll get to the stars of the show next, but I want to highlight the value of this line.  Quinton Byfield is just $4k tonight, but he’s been on a tear and should be priced higher.  Over his last 5 games, Byfield has an impressive 8 assists.  He’s had at least 9 DK points in 4 of the 5 and if we can get him into double-digits tonight he’ll be an extreme value play. 

Both Kempe and Kopitar are the goal scorers on this line.  If I can only afford one of them tonight I’m siding with Kempe.  Kempe has 4 goals in his last 5 and 27 shots on goal.  He’s been great and so has this line.  Use them often.

Other stacks I like tonight:

Boston 1 vs. Montreal

Ottawa 2 vs. Calgary

TB 1 and 2 vs. Carolina (tread lightly though)

Toronto 1 and 2 vs. Vancouver (tread lightly, Demko has been very good)

Pittsburgh 1 and 2 (Buffalo is on the tail end of a back-to-back)

Value D

Jamie Oleksiak $3k – Getting a ton of blocked shots of late

Nikita Zadorov $2.7k

Alexadre Carrier $4.2k

Scott Mayfield $3.9k

Sean Walker $3.4k

NHL DFS Summary

On the surface, this is a pretty clear-cut slate for me.  Stack the Canucks and Kings.  There are certainly other spots for offense tonight, but I’m really digging those spots and you should too!

Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot.  I’m Jared and I’ll be your host.  Tonight we have a nice sized 8 game slate where I’ll be highlighting some of my top plays for tonight’s NHL slate on Fanduel and Draftkings

Before we dive in I want to highlight some terms you’ll see in my article that may be foreign to you:

  • Corsi – Any shot attempt (goals, shots on net, misses and blocks) outside of the shootout
  • Even Strength – Play where both teams have the same number of players (including goalies) on the ice. Includes 5v5, 4v4, 3v3
  • Power Play – Play where the team has more players on the ice than their opponent due to penalties. Includes 5v4, 5v3, 4v3
  • Penalty Kill – Play where the team has fewer players on the ice than their opponent due to penalties. Includes 4v5, 3v4, 3v5

Goaltending

Jacob Markstrom($7.9k DK/$7.9k FD) vs. Winnipeg Jets – Jets are a team that have some fire power, but recently they’ve been shooting blanks.  Over the past 2 weeks the Jets have one of the worst shooting percentages of any team on tonight’s slate.  It’s sitting at just 5.37%.  They’re firing at will as they have been averaging over 34 shots per game during that stretch but nothing is finding the back of the net. 

The Jets have been averaging just 1.86 goals per game over their past 7 games.  In Markstrom we have an elite goalie who has a 1.73 GAA on the year and a .940 save %.  All signs point to Markstrom having a solid night and being one of the best values in net. 

Ville Husso ($7.8k DK/$7.8k FD) vs. Columbus Blue Jackets – Husso has only played in 2 games this season.  1 game he was brilliant, the other game he was average.  Tonight he faces a Blue Jackets team on the tail end of a back to back set. 

They’ve been averaging around 33 shots per game over the past 2 week so we know there’s a good chance that Husso gets some volume tonight.  If he plays like he did in his first start with that type of volume he stands a good chance of having a solid night tonight. 

Goalie is a train wreck in my opinion tonight.  Outside of Markstrom I have little comfort in any goalie.  Normally I’d put a goalie vs. the Canadiens, but have no interest in DeSmith.  You could make a case for Cal Petersen but he’s more than I’d like to pay for a goalie.  

Stacks

Detroit 1 (Larkin/Bertuzzi/Raymond) + Seider or DeKeyser

If you have followed me this season, you know my affinity for the Red Wings.  They are a high risk, high reward type of team.  Tonight I love the spot for them.  The Sabres as a team are a mess defensively.  They’re giving up more than 4 goals per game on average in their last 7 games.  As per usual with the Red Wings, Larkin and Raymond are my priority. 

The two of them have combined for 6 goals and 12 points over their past 5 games.  They also play together on the top power play unit.  For this stack, I’d also consider adding in Seider.  While his price has crept up there, he plays with Larkin and Raymond on the top power play also.  He’s also getting more than 4 shots plus blocks in his last 5 games. 

Los Angeles 1 (Kempe/Arvidsson/Kopitar) + Roy

The Kings have been struggling of late.  Over the past 2 weeks they’ve only scored 9 goals in their 5 games.  There’s no better slump buster than the Ottawa Senators.  This is a great bounce back spot for the Kings.  While they haven’t been scoring much of late, the top line is where I want to stay tonight.  Kempe and Arvidsson are my priorities here as they are the ones playing the best of late. 

Over their last 5 games they each have individual corsi’s of at least 25.  Between the 2 of them they have 20 high danger chances over that stretch too.  At some point, they’re going to break back through and it should be tonight.  Kempe, Arvidsson, and Roy all play together on the top power play as well so they’ll correlate throughout the game. 

Pittsburgh 1 (Crosby/Guentzel/Kapanen) + Letang

The Canadiens are another team that is an absolute mess.  Over their last 7 games the are giving up more than 4.2 goals per game and over 37 shots.  Teams are just firing at will against them.  The Sabres had 39 shots and 4 goals against them last night.  There’s no reason to think that the Penguins can’t replicate that tonight. 

I love both the top lines for Pittsburgh tonight but my preference is the top due to how well Guentzel has been playing.  Over his past 5 games he has 25 scoring chances, with 15 being considered high danger.   My priority here would be Guentzel and Kapanen.  Crosby is starting to heat up a bit as he has 11 shots over his past 3 games. That said, $7.1k on DK is still a lot to pay for someone that hasn’t been scoring. 

Other stacks (Both top lines for Edmonton, Pittsburgh 2, STL PP1, Col 2, CGY 1)

Top Defenseman

  • Cale Maker – Colorado Avalanche
  • Roman Josi – Nashville Predators
  • Jakob Chychrun – Arizona Coyotes
  • Esa Lindell – Dallas Stars
  • Kris Russell – Edmonton Oilers
  • Vladislav Gavrikov – Columbus Blue Jackets

Summary

We may see some sloppy hockey tonight as nearly half the teams playing tonight played last night.  Sloppy normally means some extra goals.  Markstrom is my top goalie tonight and it’s not really close.

Good luck and hope to see you in the green!
