NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel (Mar. 15)

Welcome to Wednesday’s edition of Between the Benches. After a massive 12-game slate last night, we’re back to a small 4-game slate of NHL DFS tonight. We have 1 marquee matchup tonight between the Maple Leafs and Avalance. After that, we have some mismatches that we should hopefully be able to take advantage of.

Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money.

NHL DFS Goaltending

John Gibson vs. New York Islanders – John Gibson won’t win a Vezina tropy any time soon, but he’s been extremely servicable this season as an NHL DFS goalie. He checks off multiple boxes that we like to see. He’s cheap and faces a ton of shots. He’ll also face off against an Islanders team that isn’t scoring much right now. Over the last 2 weeks, the Islanders are scoring just 2.5 goals per game. That number is the lost mark of any team playing tonight. Gibby is a risk, but he’s cheap and will face lots of shots. I’m willing to take on that risk tonight.

Marc-Andre Fleury vs. St. Louis – Fleury is coming off of back-to-back monster games. He’s scored 26.5 and 34.2 DK points in his last 2 games. While he’ll face off against a hotter offense in St. Louis, I do like his chances of continuing his strong play in his age-37 season. Fleury overall has been pretty good this year, with a save % over .900 and a GAA of 2.77. He’s also fairly priced tonight at $7.8k on DK.

NHL DFS Stacks

Washington 3 (Strome, Oshie, Snively) + Sandin vs. Buffalo

There’s a good chance that Alex Ovechkin misses another one tonight after sitting out last night vs. the Rangers. Even so, I’m more interested in the third line tonight as they have been big producers of late. Also, Buffalo has not been good defensively over the last couple of weeks. They are giving up 4.5 goals per game and almost 15 high-danger chances per game.

I’m mostly interested in Strome and Oshie here. Snively is pretty much fantasy irrelevant. Strome and Oshie have accounted for 5 goals and 12 and points in the last 5 games. That’s pretty solid for a third line and it’s a very inexpensive line. Look for them to continue with their scoring ways tonight vs. a Buffalo D that likes to give up goals.

Minnesota 1 (Hartman, Steele, Zuccarello) + Spurgeon vs. St. Louis

Up until the last few games, the Wild would have been the last team i’d recommend to stack. Their offense was atrocious and non-existent. That said, over the last 3 games, they’ve scored 13 goals and are showing some signs of life. That’s even without Kaprizov. They’ll get a nice matchup vs. a Blues team that is giving up close to 4 goals per game over the last 2 weeks. And who doesn’t like picking on Binnington?

Their offense has been pretty spread out of late, but I do like the talent of this top line for the Wild, especially ex-Ranger Mats Zuccarello. I’ll look to pair both Zuccarello and Hartman with Spurgeon. Spurgeon is averaging 6 shots plus blocks per game over the last 5. He’s always someone that can get us that block bonus on DK.

Other Stacks: Col 1, Tor 1 and 2, Buffalo 1 and 2

NHL DFS Top Value Defenseman

Samuel Girard- $4.5k on DK
Rasmus Sandin– $3.7k on Dk
Scott Mayfield – $3.9k on DK

Summary

We have a small 4-game slate tonight. We have a matchup between 2 of the better teams in the league in Toronto/Colorado and then a bunch of blah games. It’s a tougher matchup to navigate but the 2 stack i wrote up are ones I’ll prioritize playing.

NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel (Mar. 8)

Joel Bartilotta 2 years ago

written by Joel Bartilotta

Welcome to Wednesday’s edition of Between the Benches. After a few days of some really nice-sized slates, tonight we’re stuck with just a 3-game slate of NHL DFS. To make matters worse, only 2 of the 6 teams playing tonight have any hope of making the playoffs. That said, we should see some decent hockey tonight and the sloppiness of the bad teams may make for a high-scoring affair.

Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money.

NHL DFS Goaltending

Petr Mrazek vs. Detroit Red Wings – I’ve been riding good ole Petr Mrazek quite a bit over the last couple of weeks. Although it hasn’t always worked out, he’s been extremely cheap and has rarely thrown out a complete dud. Since the start of February, he’s been in single-digit DK points just 4 times in 9 starts. So more than 50% of the time, we’ve been able to get into the double-digit DK point area. Considering he’s only $7k, I’m willing to take that risk. Especially considering the Red Wings are scoring just 2 goals per game over the last couple of weeks.

Thatcher Demko vs. Anaheim Ducks – Since coming back from a groin injury that sidelined him for nearly 3 months, Thatcher Demko has been splendid. He’s started 3 games and in all 3 games, he’s been over 15 DK points. At his price point tonight, if he can get us another 15 points I’ll be extremely happy. It will help that he’ll be facing a Ducks team scoring less than 3 goals per game over the last couple of weeks. Look for Demko to continue his hot stretch.

NHL DFS Stacks

Vancouver 1 (Pettersson, Beauvillier, Kuzmenko) + Hughes vs. Anaheim

This unit will be one of the chalkier lines on this 3-game slate. They get the lucky draw of playing against arguably the worst defensive team in the league. Over the last 2 weeks, the Ducks are giving up close to 16 high-danger chances per game and close to 38 shots on goal per game. They are a fantasy haven for opposing offenses.

We’ll attack the Ducks tonight with the top line for Vancouver. This line has been playing pretty well. Over their last 5 games, they’ve combined for 6 goals and 13 points. Nothing earth-shattering, but on a slate like this, it’s pretty good. A full-line stack here is very much in play. I’m not normally one that plays 4 people from the same team, but Quinn Hughes has been good and is under $6k. Over his last 5 games, Hughes has 6 points and is averaging 4 shots + blocks per game.

Minnesota 1 (Hartman, Kaprizon, Zuccarello) + Spurgeon vs. Winnipeg

I really wish Minnesota was playing better offensively because they get a nice matchup tonight vs. a Jets team that has been playing some horrendous hockey. The Jets are 1-4-2 in their last 7 games and have given up more than 4 goals per game over that stretch. Their goaltending has been questionable as they have just an 85% save percentage over that stretch. They are a very attachable team right now, and we’ll do so unfortunately with a team not scoring much.

My priority with this stack is going to be Kirill Kaprizov. Over his last 5 games, Kaprizov has 5 goals and that by far leads the team. Who do we pair him with? I’m hesitant to go full stack here because the Wild offense has been anemic. I’m going to side with Hartman here as he’s been getting the same shot volume as Zuccarello but he’ll also block the occasional shot. And that just adds to the DK point total.

Other Stacks: Chi 1, Det 1, Min 2, Wpg 1 and 2, Van 2

NHL DFS Top Value Defenseman

Tyler Myers – $3.9k on DK
Alex Goligoski– $2.6k on Dk

Summary

We have a small 3-game slate tonight with mostly bad teams. It has the makings of a really weird night. I’m going to rocking mostly Canucks and Wild tonight and will fill in from there.

Good luck and hope to see you in the green!

NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel (Jan. 14)

Joel Bartilotta 2 years ago

written by Joel Bartilotta

Welcome to this week’s edition of the Saturday Slapshot. The NHL scheduling gods have blessed us with a massive 13-game slate on this first day of the NFL playoffs. We’ll have plenty of options today for our NHL DFS lineups.

Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money.

NHL DFS Goaltending

Linus Ullmark ($7.9K DK/$8.9k FD) vs. Toronto Maple Leafs – This is strictly a DraftKings play tonight as the price on FD is absurd. The price on Ullmark tonight on DK is probably the cheapest we’ll see him as he’s normally a low-to-mid $8k goalie. It’s a tough matchup for him tonight against the Maple Leafs but he’s been arguably one of the top goalies in the NHL this season and if there’s a goalie that can stop the Leafs, it’s Ullmark and his 1.88 GAA this season. I’d reserve him strictly for GPP’s as there’s definitely risk with him tonight.

Juuse Saros ($7.8k DK/$8.5k FD) vs. Buffalo Sabres– The Sabres are a dynamic offense but they haven’t been overly amazing of late. This sets up nicely for Juuse Saros tonight and he’s priced fairly at just $7.8k on DK tonight. Saros has been really solid of late, not being under 10 DK points since way back in early December. Over his last 5 games, he’s been over 20 DK points 3 times. He should be able to stifle the Sabres tonight and continue with his solid play.

NHL DFS Stacks

Florida 2 (Bennett, Verhaeghe, Tkachuk) + Montour vs. Vancouver

Although the Florida offense hasn’t been exactly lighting the world on fire, they get a glorious matchup tonight vs. a bad Canucks team. Over the last 2 weeks, the Canucks are giving up close to 5 goals per game. They’re also giving up close to 17 high-danger chances per game. This should set up a ton of opportunities for the Panthers tonight.

While Barkov is the main draw for this team, I’m focused on the second line. Matthew Tkachuk has been really solid over his last 5 games. Over those games, he has 5 goals and 4 assists to lead the team with 9 points. One guy that hasn’t really done much on paper recently is Verhaeghe. He has just 2 points in his last 5, but he also has the second-highest ixG on the team with a 2.31. He’s putting the puck on the net, but just getting extremely unlucky. At some point, his luck will turn around and it will happen against a bad Canucks team.

Seattle 1 (Beniers, Burakovsky, Eberle) + Dunn vs. Chicago

The quick turnaround from expansion team to contender has been remarkable for Seattle. They’ve been one of the top teams in the league this season and are 7-1 in their last 8 games. They get to take on a bad Blackhawks team tonight and should be able to dominate from start to finish.

While the Kraken offense is typically spread out, this top line is still the dominating force for them. All three of Beniers, Burakovsky, and Eberly are in play tonight as they each contribute to the offense. Each of them has 7 points in their last 5 games. We can also add in Dunn here who surprisingly leads the team in points over the last 5 games with 9. Not a single one of these guys is over $5k tonight. Dunn is a great value play at just $4.4k tonight.

Minnesota 1 (Steele, Kaprizov, Zuccarello) + Spurgeon vs. Arizona

Arizona is another team that we normally like to pick on. They give up a ton of shots and a ton of goals. 2 things we look for when choosing our stack for NHL DFS. Over the last 2 weeks. the Coyotes have given up close to 4.5 goals per game on around 35 shots. Both are just really bad numbers.

The majority of the offense for the Wild comes from this top line. Over their last 5 games. Kaprizov leads the team with 5 goals and 6 points. I’ll look to pair Kaprizov with Steele. His price of just $3.5k on DK tonight will really open things up for us and if this stack goes off, he should be in the middle of it. Zuc isn’t necessarily a priority as he hasn’t put up too much since his return, but if you can fit him, go for it.

Other Stacks: Boston 1, Toronto 2, Detroit 1, Philly 1 and 2, Washington 1, Car 1 and 3, Ottawa 1, Tampa Bay 1,

NHL DFS Top Value Defenseman

Ryan Graves- $3.2k on DK
Scott Mayfield – $3.6k on Dk
Timothy Liljegren – $2.9k on DK
Steven Santini – $3k on DK

Summary

We have ourselves a big night of NHL DFS tonight. 13 games, 26 teams, and a whole lot of players. With a ton of teams in action, there will be a lot of paths to go down. Simplify yourselves tonight and stick to a main core of players.

NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel (Dec. 21)

Joel Bartilotta 2 years ago

written by Joel Bartilotta

Welcome to Wednesday’s edition of Between the Benches. We have a pretty nice-sized 7-game slate of NHL DFS tonight. On the outside looking in, it’s a tricky slate to navigate through but there are also some fun spots to target.

Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money.

NHL DFS Goaltending

Alexander Georgiev ($8.4K DK/$7.5k FD) vs. Montreal Canadiens – The Colorado Avalanche are one of the heavier favorites on the board tonight. While their offense is lacking right now, their goaltending has not been. The off-season acquisition of Georgiev has proven to be a good one for the Avalanche. Finally able to get some meaningful playing time, Georgiev has been really good this season. Through 21 games, the Avalanche netminder has 13 wins to go with a 2.46 GAA and a .923 save %.

He’s been great for them and that should continue tonight in a matchup vs. the Canadiens. Over the last 2 weeks, the Canadiens are just 2-4 and have scored just 1.83 goals per game. The only concern here is going to be the lack of shot volume as the Avalanche don’t give up a lot of shots and the Canadiens don’t take many. That said, this has shutout written all over it. I’d reserve Georgiev more for cash games tonight.

Karel Vejmelka ($7k DK/$8.5k FD) vs. Vegas Golden Knights– This is far from a safe pick. Nothing about playing a Coyotes goaltender will ever give me the warm and fuzzies. That said, there aren’t many goaltenders on the slate that have the type of upside that Vejmelka has. Vejmelka hasn’t given up less than 3 goals in a game since Nov 23, a stretch of 9 games. He’s had double-digit DK in 6 of those contests.

The Coyotes give up a ton of shots and that’s why he’s able to still be productive even though he has a GAA over 3 this season. This Vegas offense is not as scary as they’ve been in years past, especially with Eichel on the shelf. If you’re playing GPP’s tonight, Vejmelka is your guy. He will be mine.

NHL DFS Stacks

Minnesota 1 (Steele, Kaprizov, Zuccarello) + Spurgeon vs. Anaheim

I suspect this top line for Minnesota will be extremely chalky tonight. Not only have they been playing lights out, but they get just a monster matchup vs. the Ducks tonight. The Ducks have been bad, giving up over 4 goals per game over the last 2 weeks. They’re also coming off a beating to the Kings last night, losing to them 4-1.

The duo of Kaprizov and Zuccarello have been amazing of late. Over the last 2 weeks, Zuccarello has been both scoring goals and assisting on them. In his last 7 games, he has 6 goals and 6 assists. Because of that, his price is starting to creep up as it’s at $7.9k on DK tonight. Kaprizov has also been really good, with 3 goals and 7 assists in his last 7 games. These 2 should be highly owned tonight, but also extremely productive. They’re going to be a tough fade and not something I’d recommend doing. Adding in Steele will help bring down the average cost of the stack as he’s only $4.1k on DK tonight. I’d go full stack here.

Nahsville 1 (Novak, Forsberg, Granlund) + Josi vs. Chicago

This is going to be a case of which wins outs, bad offense or bad defense. My thoughts are that bad offense will win out here. The Blackhawks have been attrocious. I don’t think there’s anyway to sugarcoat it. They’ve lost 7 in a row and have given up 5 goals per game over their last 5. They are a trainwreck and we’ll want to attack them, even it’s with the Predators.

My lean here is their top line. Flip Forsberg is by far their most talented forward. Although he has just 1 goal in his last 7 games, he does have an iXG pretty close to 3. There’s more in the tank and it should come out today vs. a bad defensive team. I’ll prioritize pairing him with Roman Josi tonight. Josi is the safest play on this team and acts more like a forward than a defenseman. Over his last 7 games, Josi is averaging more than 7 shots + blocks. If you only play one Predator tonight, play Josi. You’ll be rewarded.

Tampa Bay 1 (Point, Hagel, Kucherov) + Hedman vs. Detroit

Tampa was a pretty big disappointment lats night, scoring just 1 goal vs. Toronto last night. Toinght, they get a much easier matchup vs. the Red Wings. The Red Wings are struggling right now as they are 0-4-2 in their last 6 games, while giving up close to 4 goals per game. This is a return to riches matchup for the Lightning.

We’ll utilize the top line here. My favorite 2 here will be Brandon Hagel and Brayden Point. The 2 of them have been the goal scores, as each have 5 goals over the last 2 weeks. I also do love Kucherov here, but he’s the most expensive and he’s really just been getting assists. They’re still great to get, but goals are what wins GPP’s.

Other Stacks: TB 1, FL 1, NJ 2, Col 1, Dal 1, Edm 1, Vgs 1 and 2,

NHL DFS Top Value Defenseman

Ryan Suter – $2.9k on DK
Dante Fabbro- $2.8k on Dk
Erik Cernak – $3.1k on DK

Summary

We have a really solid slate of games tonight. I’ll be going heavy on the Wild tonight, even though they’ll be extremely popular. Let’s crush it team!

NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel (Dec. 14)

Joel Bartilotta 2 years ago

written by Joel Bartilotta

Welcome to Wednesday’s edition of Between the Benches. We have a small 3-game slate tonight. With only 6 teams in action, some of our spots will be limited.

Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money.

NHL DFS Goaltending

I should start by saying that goaltending is a dumpster fire tonight. A case could be made to stack against each and every goalie tonight. That said, we still need to pick one or 2 so let’s go.

Jacob Markstrom ($7.8K DK/$7.5k FD) vs. Vancouver Canucks – We have a battle of 2 Canadien teams tonight in Calgary. My lean right now is to favor the home team as their the favorites in this one. Jacob Markstrom is coming into this game off his best game of the year. On Monday night vs. the Canadiens, Markstrom stopped 37 of 38 shots and scored 27 DK points. The 27 DK points were just the second time this season that Markstrom passed the 20-point mark and was also the most he’s had this year. My hope is that it increases his confidence and he puts up another monster night tonight.

Filip Gustavsson ($7.7k DK/$8.5k FD) vs. Detroit Red Wings– The Minnesota Wild come into this one of the heaviest favorites on the board tonight and rightfully so. They are 5-2 in their last 7 while the Red Wings are just 2-3-2. The Red Wings’ offense has been abysmal of late, scoring just 2.29 goals per game over those 7. Tonight they’ll get a tough matchup vs. Gustavsson.

While Gustavsson hasn’t played too much, when he’s played he’s played well. He’s coming off a dominant performance vs. the Canucks last week that saw him shut them out on 35 shots. He’s far from safe tonight, but I really like his chances to be one of the more productive goalies on this slate.

NHL DFS Stacks

Minnesota 1 (Steele, Kaprizov, Zuccarello) + Spurgeon vs. Detroit

With limited options tonight, I suspect that the Wild will be chalky tonight. They just have so many things in their corner tonight. The Red Wings’ defense has been bad. They’re giving up close to 16 high-danger chances per game and more than 34 shots on goal. To make matters even better for us, they’ll get to face Alex Nedeljkovic tonight. The owner of a GAA north of 4 and a save % south of 9.

This top line for Minnesota hasn’t quite been playing off the charts of late, but they have a ton of firepower with Kaprizov. Kaprizov is one of the more skilled players in the league and even though he has just 2 goals in his last 5, he’s taken 19 shots and 26 scoring chances. The numbers will come back for him and tonight’s a perfect spot for it to happen. Zuc is the preferred pairing partner here as he’s the playmaker and if Kaprizov scores, will more than likely get the apple.

Ottawa 2 (Pinto, DeBrincat, Batherson) + Hamonic vs. Montreal

It would be an understatement to say this season has been a disappointment for the Senators. They came into the season with high hopes but have yet to live up to them. That said, they are playing better and are 4-2-1 in their last 7. They’ll get a nice matchup tonight vs. the Canadiens, a team giving up more than 3 goals per game over the last 2 weeks.

I’m siding with the second line here tonight thanks to the strong play of all 3. Over their last 5 games, this line has combined for 15 points. Most of that production has come from DeBrincat and Batherson and they’ll be my core here. The 2 have combined for 13 of the 15 points. Pinto can 100% be added into this stack tonight as he’s shown some upside at times this season.

Calgary 1 (Backlund, Huberdeau, Toffoli) + Hanifin vs. Vancouver

Of all the teams playing tonight, no one is giving up more goals per game over the last 2 weeks than the Vancouver Canucks. At over 4 goals per game over the last 2 weeks, they are far and away worse than any other team tonight. They’re also giving up the second most high-danger chances per game at 15.80, slightly better than Detroit.

We’ll attack them with the top line for Calgary, a line that is coming alive. This line has combined for 13 points over their last 5, with Toffoli and Backlund having 4 each and Huberdeau having 5. Both Toffoli and Huberdeau play together on the top power-play unit and because of that correlation, they’ll be my preferred targets here. That said, a full stack here is in play.

Other Stacks: Ottawa 1, Calgary 2, Montreal 1 and 2

NHL DFS Top Value Defenseman

Luke Schenn – $3.3k on DK
Nikita Zaitsez – $2.9k on Dk
Erik Brannstrom – $2.5k on DK

Summary

It’s a small slate tonight, but it also has the makings of a high scoring slate as we have some poor defensive teams. I’ll be rocking a ton of Minnesota and Ottawa tonight with my NHL DFS stacks.

NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel (Nov. 9)

Joel Bartilotta 2 years ago

written by Joel Bartilotta

Welcome to Wednesday’s edition of Between the Benches. I’ll be focusing on tonight’s 4-game main slate of NHL DFS on DraftKings and FanDuel. 3 of the 8 teams in action tonight played last night, with one game being entirely of teams on the tail end of a back-to-back. There should be plenty of offense to go around between the teams.

Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money.

NHL DFS Goaltending

Before we start, goalie at first glance tonight looks to be as bad of a night as we’ve seen this year. Just about every goalie has a reason not to play them. With how this slate is for goalies, I’d recommend sticking with GPP’s tonight instead of Cash games.

Sergei Bobrovsky ($7.8K DK/$8.4k FD) vs. Carolina Hurricanes – To say the start of this season has been a bit of a struggle for Bobrovsky would be an accurate statement. Through his first 8 games played, Bob has a GAA of 3.28 and a save % of just .897. The GAA would be a career-high and the save % would be a career-low for the veteran goalie. Could father time finally be catching up to him? It’s quite possible, but our options are limited tonight and he’s facing off against a team that really hasn’t been scoring much.

Over the last couple of weeks, the Hurricanes are scoring just 2.83 goals per game while firing close to 38 shots on goal per game. Their 86.93 shooting % over the last 2 weeks is the second-lowest of any team on the ice tonight. Due to the risk of him potentially giving up a ton of goals, Bob is reserved solely for GPP’s tonight.

Darcy Kuemper ($7.5k DK/$8.1k FD) vs. Pittsburgh Penguins – Anytime you use a goalie vs. the Penguins, you’re running some level of risk. That said, the Penguins of late have not been scoring much. Over the last 2 weeks, they’re scoring just 2.40 goals per game. Outside of the 5 goals they scored against the Bruins to start the month, their offense has essentially been MIA. Kuemper’s numbers for the year are fairly solid. He has a 2.42 GAA and a .919 save percentage. He’s a little on the cold side based on his last 2 games, but this seems like a matchup he can take advantage of tonight. He’s a huge risk, but could also give us a huge reward if he plays well.

NHL DFS Stacks

Vancouver PP 1 (Bo Horvat, Andrei Kuzmenko, Elias Pettersson, J.T. Miller) + Hughes vs. Montreal

Both of the teams in this matchup played last night so neither team will have the advantage of facing off against tired legs while having fresh legs. The Canucks will have a big advantage tonight though because the Canadiens just aren’t a good team. Over the last 2 weeks, they’re giving up around 3.50 goals per game. While not extreme, they’ve been extremely lucky that number isn’t higher as they’re giving up close to 17 high-danger chances per game.

Goaltending has been saving them but against a rolling Canucks team that scored 6 last night, they’re going to have their struggles tonight. While I’m targeting the main power-play unit for the Canucks, the main piece I want here is going to be Bo Horvat. Over his last 5 games, Horvat has scored 8 goals. He has 4 multi-goal games over that stretch. If you want to save some money tonight, you can also add in his line 3 mates.

The main guy to focus on from that line would be Conor Garland at just $3.4k. He’s had 4 helpers over the last 5 games and plays a bigger role offensively than Vasily Podkolzin. Either way, I’m loading up on Canucks tonight in the hope that goaltending for Montreal regresses and the offensive prowess of the Canucks continues. My order of priority with these guys will be Horvat, Pettersson, Miller, Kuzmenko, and Garland.

Minnesota 1 (Gaudreau, Kaprizov, Zuccarello) + Spurgeon vs. Anaheim

Minnesota has too many weapons for their offense to stay this cold for too long. Yes, they were shutout by the Kings last night. As a team, they’ve scored just 12 goals in their last 6 games. There is no better slump buster in the league than getting to face off against the Anaheim Ducks. These aren’t the same Ducks that were coached by Gordon Bombay. They’re worse. Way Worse.

Over the last 2 weeks, they’ve given up 4.71 goals per game and 19 high-danger chances. Again, this is going to be the slump buster that the Wild is looking for. Kirill Kaprizov is extremely expensive at $8.7k tonight. That should suppress his ownership in a great matchup. He has a ton of upside, even at his current price. I’ll look to include Gaudreau in this stack because he’s going to create the salary relief we need since he’s only $3.7k tonight. That will make paying the $8.7k for Kaprizov a little easier to stomach.

Minnesota 2 is also in play and much cheaper. Erikson Ek, Greenway, and Boldy should get into the scoring colum tonight.

Florida 1 (Barkov, Verhaeghe, White) + Montour vs. Carolina

This one is a little risky because the Hurricanes aren’t a bad defensive team. We’re limited with our options though tonight so I’m going to attack them with a line that’s rolling. This line has one of the hottest players in the game in Carter Verhaeghe. Over his last 5 games, Verhaeghe has 6 goals and 3 assists. He’s also been averaging nearly 4 shots per game. He’s on a heater and we’ll want to prioritize getting him in there. At $5.4k he’s also very reasonably priced.

We’ll pair him with Barkov who’s also playing well with 5 points in his last 5 games. Adding in Colin White at just $3.6k is a cheap way to get exposure to this unit for Florida. Don’t expect much out of him, but if this line goes off he could potentially have a solid night at a cheap price.

Other Stacks: Washington 1 and 2, Pittsburg 1 and 2, Montreal 1, Anaheim 1 (very cheap, especially Henrique who is scoring some goals)

NHL DFS Top Value Defenseman

Oliver Ekman-Larsson – $4.1k on DK
James Brodin – $3k on Dk
Joel Edmundson – $3.9k on DK
Tyler Myers – $3k on DK

Summary

Tonight should be a fun little slate of NHL DFS. We only have 8 teams in action, but some of the teams have potential to put up a lot of goals. Especially Minnesota and Vancouver.

Good luck and hope to see you in the green!

written by Matt Vecchio

Welcome to latest edition of the Saturday Slapshot where we’ll be focusing on tonight’s 9 game main slate of NHL on DraftKings and FanDuel. Teams are now at the point where they are jockeying for playoff positions. Thankfully, hockey is not like the NBA and we rarely see major players sitting out in the tail end of the season

Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money.

Goaltending

James Reimer ($7.9K DK/$7.2k FD) vs. Anaheim Ducks – Reimer is far from a sexy name, but the man’s been getting the job done and won’t cost us an arm and a leg, especially if you’re playing NHL DFS on FanDuel where he’s only $7.2k. If we look at Reimer’s play of late, it hasn’t been that bad as he back-to-back wins with one of them coming against a solid Flames team. Reimer hasn’t allowed more than 3 goals in more than a month and with the Ducks’ offense now anemic, he stands a good chance of being one of the higher scoring goalies on the night.

Sergei Bobrovsky ($8.5k DK/$8.8k FD) vs. Ottawa Senators – If you find yourself with some extra cash laying around tonight, Bob should be your guy. He’s riding a 4 game winning streak and gets to face a Senators team scoring just 2.3 goals per game over the past month. With how powerful of a lineup the Panthers have built, I just don’t see a scenario tonight where Bob doesn’t get at least the W tonight. He’s probably more suited though for cash games if you’re a cash game player.

Stacks

We have some pretty clear spots for offense tonight. Toronto is in as good of a spot as they can be against a Canadiens team giving up more than 3.5 goals per game over the past month. The top line for Toronto will be extremely popular tonight, and rightfully so. I’m not going to write them up as a stack because they are an obvious play. They are just super expensive. My goal with my top 3 stacks tonight will be to find a way to be a little different than your competition in tournaments.

Montreal 1 (Suzuki, Caufield, Anderson) + Petry vs. Toronto

This game between 2 historic Canadian franchises has the makings of a high-scoring slate. We already know what the Maple Leafs can do on offense, but did you know that of all the teams playing tonight, no team is giving up more goals per game than the Leafs over the past month? That’s right, and tonight they turn over the crease to Erik Kallgren who met Mr. Regression in his last NHL start.

This top-line for Montreal is pretty good and pretty cheap. MSL has really tapped into the talent of Caufield as he has 4 goals in his last 5 games and has a very bright future in the NHL. The combo of Suzuki and Caufield will cost just a shade over $10k over on DK tonight. That same combo has combined for over 30 scoring chances in their last 5. They may go overlooked on the slate tonight, but they should do well.

Minnesota 1 (Hartman, Kaprizov, Zuccarello) vs. Columbus

Absolutely love this spot for the Wild tonight. The Wild really haven’t been blowing away the competition of late, but they are in a great spot tonight. Columbus is giving up 4 goals per game over the past month and will more than likely have Berube in net tonight. On the year, Berube has a 3.25 GAA a the NHL level. Although he has a small sample size, he doesn’t have a single game giving up less than 3 goals.

My core with the Wild tonight will be Hartman and Kaprizov as Zuc is in a little bit of a funk with his game offensively right now. Hartman and Kaprizov have combined for 6 goals and 10 points in their last 5 games. They should be able to put up a few goals tonight against a poor defensive team.

Florida 2 (Huberdeau, Duclair, Bennett) vs. Ottawa

I’ve actually used Forsberg this season more than I’ve stacked against him. He’s been extremely solid this year. That said, he’s in for a tough task tonight. This Florida team is stacked from top to bottom. Their top 3 lines can all take over a game. Tonight I’m going to go with their second line. Although their top line is one of the best in the game, Barkov is expensive and isn’t exactly playing his best hockey of late.

This second line has been really good. Over their last 5 games, they’ve combined for nearly 40 scoring chances and a handful of goals. While Bennett is solid, my core will be Huberdeau and Duclair. They are the guys with the offensive prowess and should do well against Ottawa.

Other stacks (Tor 1 and 2, Florida 1 and 3, Edm 1, Cgy 1, SJ 1)

Top Value Defenseman

Jeff Petry – $4k on DK – Keep an eye on his status as he’s a GTD, but always good for shots and blocks.
Alexander Romanov – $2.9k on Dk – 4 out of his last 5 games he’s had double digit points
Jaycob Megna – $2.5k on DK and has 16 blocked shots in his last 5
Vince Dunn – $3.4k on DK – becoming a bigger part of the offense in Seattle

Summary

There should be a ton of offense on tonight’s slate. Toronto should score a ton of goals and although they aren’t in my top stacks section, they are 100% in play. I just wanted to be a bit different since they will be chalky. Florida should also score a ton of goals tonight. Don’t sleep on Edmonton either tonight as they are facing a Calgary team that played last night.

Good luck and hope to see you in the green!

NHL DFS The Saturday Slapshot (Jan. 22)

Joel Bartilotta 3 years ago

written by Joel Bartilotta

Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot where I’ll be highlighting some of my top plays for tonight’s NHL DFS slate on Fanduel and DraftKings. Tonight we have a solid-looking 9 game slate.

Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money.

Goaltending

Igor Shesterkin ($8.4k DK/$8.1k FD) vs. Arizona Coyotes – This is about as high of a salary for a goalie as I’ll go. While the Coyotes have been scoring more goals of late, it hasn’t been against the stiffest of competition. In the games they scored more than 3 goals, they were facing teams like the Canadiens and Blackhawks. Last night they were shut out by a solid defensive Islanders team.

While the Rangers aren’t a defensive juggernaut, they have one of the best goalies in the NHL in Shesterkin. Since November 1, Shesterkin has just 2 games under 10 DK points. He has a .938 save % on the year and has to be in the Vezina conversation. After struggling a bit to start the game vs. Maple Leafs on Wednesday Shesterkin settled down nicely to finish the game with 35 saves and a Win. There’s a very real chance he makes the Coyotes go back-to-back games without a goal. Love the spot tonight for Igor.

Jacob Markstrom ($7.7k DK/$7.8k FD) vs. Edmonton Oilers – Something is wrong with the Oilers and until they fix it, we can attack them with goalies. Over the last month, what should be a dynamic NHL offense, this team has mustered just 2.29 goals per game. Of the 18 teams on tonight’s slate, that’s the lowest number. Now some of this can be attributed to scheduling conflicts due to covid, but I’m still going to attack them until they prove me wrong.

In Markstrom, we have someone that has been up and down this season. At times he’s been brutal, but at times he’s been remarkable, as evidenced by his 28 save performance vs. the Panthers team that had been coming into the game scoring goals at will. Because it’s the Oilers, this is a risky spot. That said, I do like the spot tonight and Markstrom has a chance to be one of the top goalies on the night.

After those 2 goalie gets a little murky. Whoever gets the nod tonight for Minnesota should do well against a Blackhawks team that is anemic right now. Darcy Kuemper is also in a good spot tonight but he’s very pricey. I just can’t live with myself paying $8.5k for him on DK tonight. That’s just too much, even with a matchup against a poor Canadiens squad. I’d rather take my chances with Markstrom tonight.

Stacks

I don’t need to tell you how good of a spot it is for the Avalanche tonight. Montreal is dreadful and giving up more than 4 goals per game over their last 8 games. They are one of the worst teams in the NHL. The top line of MacKinnon, Landeskog, and Rantanen is always in play and tonight is no different. They are in a great spot tonight but are extremely pricey. If you can fit them, go for it.

Calgary 1 (Elias Lindholm, Matthew Tkachuk, Johnny Gaudreau)

I highlighted above that the Oilers have been struggling offensively. That actually pales in comparison to how bad they’ve been on the defensive side. Of the 18 teams on tonight’s NHL DFS slate, no team has a higher goals against average over the last month than the Oilers. As a team, you stand no chance of winning if you are giving up 4.71 goals per game. Their goalies have been atrocious as they have an 84.86 save percentage over that period.

While such a low number like that isn’t necessarily sustainable and there will be regression, it’s still something that we want to attack. This top-line for Calgary is still very affordable. The most expensive player in this stack is Gaudreau at $6.7k on DK. My priorities here are going to be Tkachuk and Gaudreau. The two have combined for 14 points, 40 scoring chances, and 20 high danger chances over their last 5 games. I’m not overly interested in any of the defensemen from this team.

New York Rangers 1 (Kreider/Zibanejad/Kaako) + Fox

This could be the homer in me, but I love the spot for the Rangers tonight. They struggled in Carolina against the Hurricanes last night but get to go back to the Garden tonight against a much lesser opponent in the Coyotes. My priority with this stack is Kreider. He is red hot right now as he has 5 goals in his last 5 games. Over those 5 games, he has 14 high danger chances and 19 scoring chances. The duo of Zibanejad and Kreider have been extremely lethal this season and love pairing them together tonight.

Carolina 2 (Trocheck/Svechnikov/Niederreiter) + Slavin

My final favorite stack tonight brings us to Newark, NJ with the Carolina Hurricanes. Goaltending for the Devils has been a struggle of late as they’ve let in 3.5 goals per game over the past month. With Blackwood expected to be in the net today, I love this sport for the Hurricanes. Over his last 10 starts, he’s failed to give up less than 3 goals just once.

While the Hurricanes’ offense is always tough to gauge, I really like their second line tonight. The pairing of Trocheck and Svechnikov have combined for 10 points over their past 5 games and 30 scoring chances. Slavin makes a nice compliment to this stack as he’s only $4.3k on DK and he’s getting us some ancillary stats as he’s averaging more than 4 shots + blocks per game.

Other stacks (Min 1, Tor 1, Ari 2, Ott 1, Was 1, Col 2, TB 1 and 2, SJ 1)

Top Value Defenseman

Christopher Tanev
Kris Russell
David Savard
Calvin De Haan
Moritz Seider
Ben Chiarot
Adam Pelech
Scott Mayfield

Summary

We have some solid spots to attack tonight. I didn’t write them up, but I love Minnesota again tonight. They made for a profitable night last night and get the same matchup tonight, but at home and vs. a lesser goalie. Their top line of Hartman and Kaprizov would be the place to go, but they are pricey. Another spot I didn’t write up is Washington vs. Ottawa. Ovechkin should add to his tally and get closer in his chase of the great one. There are a lot of great spots for offense tonight and it has the makings of a very high-scoring night.

Make sure to use our optimizer when setting lineups!

Good luck and hope to see you in the green!

NHL Playoff Preview (First Round)

jamie calkins 4 years ago

written by jamie calkins

NHL Playoff Preview (First Round)

Welcome to Keith’s NHL Playoff Preview (First Round). A little different than my daily game pick articles. The NHL Playoffs are finally here! After a grueling 56-game season we are down to 16 teams. With the nuances of scheduling this year, each team will have a mini bracket within their division and then each team who makes it out of their division will be re-seeded for the Final 4. Not too many surprises with who made the playoffs. Here are the 16 teams who will be playing in the First Round:

We have some great First Round matchups. I will preview each series, post each series price and give my predictions. I will also keep a tracker for my entire slate of playoff bets, as I have some futures on who makes it out of their division, as well as who wins Lord Stanley. I will provide that info at the end as well as some general thoughts for betting the NHL Playoffs. Without further ado, let’s dive into the series.

East Division

#1 Pittsburgh Penguins (-150) vs. #4 New York Islanders (+121)

Season Series: Penguins: 6-2-0, Islanders: 2-4-2

Preview: The Penguins sport the best home record in the league and have home-ice advantage in this series. They should be fully healthy with the returns of Malkin a few games ago and Tanev is projected to be ready for Game 1. The Penguins had a great season and are well deserved to be at the top of this division. The Islanders started of the season very nicely and were battling for first, but things unraveled for them after the Trade Deadline. The Penguins are known for their offense and the Islanders for their defense, but both teams can handle their own on the opposite spectrums as well. The Penguins are 2nd in GF over their last 20 games while the Islanders are 30th. The major X-factor right now is the health of Islanders’ top goaltender Seymon Varlamov. Sporting top-5 goaltending numbers this season, if he is unable to play than the Islanders will have to rely on Russian rookie Ilya Sorokin, who has decent numbers himself but not to the standard of Varlamov. Two teams trending in opposite directions leaves me no choice in my prediction.

Prediction: Penguins 4-1

#2 Washington Capitals (+118) vs. #3 Boston Bruins (-143)

Season Series: Capitals: 4-4-0, Bruins 4-2-2

Preview: What a series this should play out to be. We have the 2018 Stanley Cup Champions versus the 2019 Stanley Cup Runner-Ups. We have the return of Zdeno Chara who spent 14 seasons with Boston and was the longest-tenured captain in the league before signing with Washington as a free agent in the offseason. Each team won 4 matchups against the other this season. The Capitals surprisingly are an underdog in this series, and that must be attributed to Boston’s recent form. They have been a freight train after acquiring Hall, Reilly, and Lazar at the Trade Deadline. The Bruins could not score pretty much all season but then finally woke up the last month. The Caps meanwhile have been battling injury concerns to their star players and also had to deal with the Tom Wilson/Battle of New York saga. The Bruins have been rolling and have been in the top-10 in offensive metrics over their last 20 games. The thing with the Capitals is their underlying numbers were not that good but they could mitigate that with their scoring talent. However, recently the Capitals haven’t been able to do that. Goaltending is also interesting for both teams as the Capitals will roll with the inexperienced tandem of Samsanov/Vanacek, while the Bruins will probably start with Rask but rookie Swayman could make a case for deserving that net. With the Bruins rolling and actually low key dominating their season series with Washington analytically despite it being tied 4-4, I have no choice here.

Prediction: Bruins 4-2

Central Division

#1 Carolina Hurricanes (-240) vs. #4 Nashville Predators (+190)

Season Series: Hurricanes: 6-2-0, Predators: 2-5-1

Preview: The Hurricanes have dominated this season series over Nashville winning 6 of 8. The Predators snuck into the playoffs on the curtails of Juuse Saros incredible goaltending. The Hurricanes offense has been rolling all season and there is no reason to see that slowing down here. A hot goaltender can change the complexion of a series, no doubt. But Saros will need to stand on his head to steal this one from Carolina. Nashville held their own in their matchups against Carolina this year despite only winning 2 of 8. Hurricanes offense, defense, and special teams have been better all season. The only edge you can really give to Nashville is goaltending. And there is a chance Mrazek/Ned can get on a roll and even out that edge. I feel generous to say the Preds won’t roll Carolina, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they do.

Prediction: Hurricanes 4-2

#2 Florida Panthers (+116) vs. #3 Tampa Bay Lightning (-143)

Season Series: Panthers: 5-2-1, Lightning: 3-5-0

Preview: The Battle of Florida. These teams do not like each other and this has the potential to be an absolute battle and best series of the first round. You could argue Tampa underperformed a little bit this year as the defending champs finishing 3rd in their division. But they were without their best player Nikita Kucherov all season and captain Steven Stamkos for the last 10 or so games. Kucherov is projected to be ready for the playoffs so we will see if he can come back right in stride or has some rust. The Panthers on the other hand had quite the season and outperformed expectations to a 2nd place finish in the division. A devastating blow to star defenseman Aaron Ekblad who sustained a season-ending injury with about 15 games to go. However Mackenzie Weegar has picked up the slack on the back end. Goaltending is where Tampa will display quite the edge with reigning Vezina winner Andrei Vasilevskiy in net for the Bolts and probably Chris Dreidger in net for Florida, with Bobrovsky and rookie Spencer Knight there in case Dreidger falters. With the Lightning having some injury concerns and coming off a long cup run, I am going against the grain here.

Prediction: Panthers 4-3

North Division

#1 Toronto Maple Leafs (-275) vs. #4 Montreal Canadiens (+210)

Season Series: Maple Leafs: 7-2-1, Canadiens: 3-6-1

Preview: The Maple Leafs have been viewed as the favorites to make it out of the North Division since Day 1, and are actually the only team with minus odds (-135) to make it out of their division of the entire league. They will be squaring up with a Canadiens team that has been hot and cold all season. They started off really hot and people were even thinking they might be better than Toronto, then went ice cold and fired their coach, before finishing the season relatively strong. Defense is their specialty but they’ve had to deal with multiple injuries on the back end. It’s unclear if they will go with their most expensive asset (Carey Price) or the goaltender who has performed better this season (Jake Allen) for this series. Nothing would surprise me and could potentially see the Canadiens pulling an upset if they get hot, but the Leafs are definitely the stronger team and should take care of this series.

Prediction: Maple Leafs 4-2

#2 Edmonton Oilers (-186) vs. #3 Winnipeg Jets (+150)

Season Series: Oilers: 7-2-0, Jets 2-7-0

Preview: Two teams that are going in opposite directions. Behind the incredible season from Connor McDavid, Edmonton has had a strong end to the season. Winnipeg has been reeling behind all sorts of defensive problems all season, as well as an injury to their strongest winger in Nikolaj Ehlers. Luckily for Winnipeg, Connor Hellebuyck is arguably the best goaltender in the league and the kind of goalie who can steal a series. The problem is the defense in front of him has been bad all year and towards the end of the season he had some games where he didn’t stand on his head. Oilers goalie Mike Smith has actually had quite a surprising season as a 39-year-old veteran on the last legs of his career. With the way McDavid and Draisaitl have been rolling all season, I cannot go against the best player(s) in the league.

Prediction: Oilers 4-2

West Division

#1 Colorado Avalanche (-335) vs. #4 St. Louis Blues (+255)

Season Series: Avalanche: 5-3-0, Blues: 3-5-0

Preview: The Stanley Cup favorite and Presidents’ Trophy winning Avalanche begin their Cup run against the 2018 Stanley Cup Champion St. Louis Blues. The Avs have probably the strongest and deepest team in the 16-team field this year. They’ve dealt with some COVID and injury issues all season but should be healthy rolling into playoffs. This is the biggest series discrepancy based on Vegas lines as well as my Model. The Blues have been inconsistent this season and Binnington hasn’t played to the level he did when they won the Cup in 2018. The addition of Krug in the offseason was supposed to cancel out the loss of Pietrangelo, but it hasn’t been that simple. The Avs are a wagon and even though the Blues have playoff experience, I will rely on the data and the models here.

Prediction: Avalanche 4-1

#2 Vegas Golden Knights (-240) vs. #3 Minnesota Wild (+190)

Season Series: Golden Knights: 3-4-1, Wild: 5-1-2

Preview: Viewed as one of the favorites to win the Cup coming into the season, the Golden Knights have quite the draw in the First Round. Losing the top seed and Presidents’ Trophy with the Avs win last night, Vegas goes from playing a weaker St. Louis team to a young and exciting Minnesota team. To make matters even worse Minnesota has had Vegas’ number all season with only 1 regulation loss for Minnesota in 8 matchups. Vegas is deep at every position and will be interesting to see if they roll out Fluery or Lehner in net, both goalies are more than capable. Minnesota on the other side has been riding the coattails of exciting rookie Kirill “The Thrill” Kaprizov. With stronger than expected defensive and goaltending results they cruised to a 3rd place finish in the division and face a team they have matched up well against all season. There is definite series price value on Minnesota if you are looking for an upset to happen as there always is plenty in the Stanley Cup playoffs. I’m going to ride with the team I am confident can make a Cup run, but would not be surprised either way.

Prediction: Golden Knights 4-3

Current Bets and Notes

My approach for this playoff season is to ride a few Cup futures, bet some teams to make it out of their divisions, and then take any series or series spreads I think have some value. From there I might bet an individual game where I see value on a team or think the other team has a good chance to even the series. I really like taking the Game 1 loser in a series I think will be very evenly matched. I also may hedge some of my futures out if the opportunity presents itself (i.e. Vegas makes it to the Cup, take the other team to win the series and profit either way).

These are the futures I have so far, which will be updated as the playoffs roll on, and will also be on the Sports Betting Picks page:

Excited for the NHL Playoffs! Going to be a roller coaster of emotions with upsets and lots of things you won’t expect, which is what makes it the best sport on earth. Let’s ride this wave!!

NHL DFS Betting Picks (May 7)

jamie calkins 4 years ago

written by jamie calkins

NHL Betting Picks Friday 5/7

Welcome to Keith’s NHL Betting Picks Friday 5/7. Back-to-back great nights for The Model, going 3-1 last night. The Bruins -1.5 and the Blackhawks +1.5 both at plus money hit with ease, with the Blackhawks winning outright in OT and the Bruins cruising 4-0 over the Rangers. The late add of the Habs/Leafs over was an easy hit too as there were 4 goals in the first and a 5-2 win for the Leafs cashed that. The only L was the Oilers team total over 3.5 as they lost 6-3 to the Canucks. I debated taking the game over and ultimately rode with the Oilers team over. What a schmuck I am. Still up 3u on the day so we will take that. On to Friday

We have 7 games on the NHL slate tonight. Let’s take a look at the updated profitability and over win percentages for the teams playing today.

To interact with the dashboard click here.

Dashboard Edges

Lightning Money Line (-155) over the Stars
Red Wings Money Line (+132) and Puck Line (+1.5, -210) over the Blue Jackets
Red Wings/Blue Jackets Under (5, +114)
Capitals Money Line (-186) and Puck Line (-1.5, +120) over the Flyers
Capitals/Flyers Over (6, -125)
Wild Money Line (-295) and Puck Line (-1.5, -112) over the Ducks
Golden Knights Puck Line (-1.5, +150) and Money Line (-167) over the Blues
Sharks Puck Line (+1.5, -275) over the Coyotes

Keep an eye out for Starting Goalies tonight. If we get Grubauer I am going to ride the Avs -1.5, however I am waiting for that confirmation as it is not worth the risk if we get one of Colorado’s backups instead.

My Picks

Capitals/Flyers Over 6 (-125): The two highest over teams on the season and we were able to find an over 6 line. Love that. You can find 6.5 at slightly above even (around +102), but just to be safe I am riding the 6 number tonight with Ovechkin probably out. Even with him out I still think these teams put up some goals. The Flyers defense/goaltending has been atrocious all season (3.68 GA/game). The Caps also sport an elite offense averaging 3.5 GF/game. On the flip side both the Flyers and Caps have pretty average offense and defense, respectively. Both teams are well over 50% on their over win percentages this year and we are riding some goals tonight.

Wild -1.5 (-112): Minnesota is one of the best puck line teams this season while Anaheim is one of the worst. Minnesota is basically locked into the 3-seed at this point for the playoffs and looks like a matchup with Colorado in the first round is likely. The good news is they still have 4 games left, including 2 against St. Louis who also have essentially clinched their 4-seed. I don’t foresee Minny resting players and going on cruise control until maybe the last game or 2. Anaheim has been dead for a while and although they did beat St. Louis on Wednesday, I think Minnesota pushes the gas tonight and covers the puck line tonight.
