Tonight we have a fairly large 10 game slate with a LOT of options. There will be many places to look tonight, but that means that ownership will be very spread out and almost irrelevant. Let’s look at the best NHL DFS plays for tonight. Good luck!

Goalies

Semyon Varlamov – New York Islanders: Varlamov is surprisingly cheap, so don’t be surprised if he comes in a little higher owned. This is a solid matchup for him and the Isles. The numbers are great for Varly, so he is absolutely in play tonight.

Jonathan Quick – New York Rangers: The Rangers host the Red Wings tonight in what should be a winnable game for them. Quick has some very solid numbers so far this season, and he should be able to carry that tonight.

Jordan Binnington – St. Louis Blues: This is merely a hot-hand play, since Binny is playing really well of late. He gets a matchup against the Jets tonight which is a solid one.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Lukas Dostal – Anaheim Ducks: The Ducks host the Penguins tonight, and Anaheim has been playing really well of late. Dostal should see a lot of shots on home ice, so he has some upside tonight and will be very low owned. There is definite risk here, so reserve this play for your deeper GPPs. Jake Allen is a possibility in this slot as well, as he gets the Lightning at home in the second leg of a back to back. Just make sure he is starting, and don’t play him in the same lineup as Tampa.

Others to Consider: Juuse Saros (NSH), Connor Hellebuyck (WPG), Connor Ingram (ARI)

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/Nick Paul/Steven Stamkos/Nikita Kucherov/Victor Hedman: This unit absolutely went off last night against Toronto, and tonight, they get a matchup against a bottom-10 PK for a team that takes the second most penalties in the league. Roll these guys with confidence.

Philadelphia Flyers Power Play – Sean Couturier/Bobby Brink/Cam Atkinson/Travis Konecny/Travis Sanheim: Well…there’s no two ways about it. The Sharks are very, very bad. This unit should have plenty of chances, and there is a risk of spread out scoring. But this is one of the best plays on the board tonight in what should be a very high high scoring game. Bad goalies, bad defense, this one should be interesting.

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).

Anaheim Ducks 2 – Mason McTavish/Ryan Strome/Frank Vatrano: This line has a decent matchup on paper tonight and have been performing well of late. They should see a bunch of the second line for the Pens in a plus matchup.

Arizona Coyotes 1 – Barrett Hayton/Clayton Keller/Nick Schmaltz: This top line will mostly see the second line for the Kraken in a nice plus matchup. They have been surprisingly good to start the year, and tonight is a good spot to go here.

Carolina Hurricanes 3 – Jordan Staal/Jordan Martinook/Jesper Fast: CAR3 at home – it’s always a thing, since they hard match this line to the opposing top line. That sets them up for a nice night tonight, as they will get a bunch of ice time against the Thompson line in a decent looking matchup.

Nashville Predators 1 – Ryan O’Reilly/Filip Forsberg/Gustav Nyquist/Roman Josi: This is a matchup that should fly under the radar tonight, but this is a fantastic matchup on paper. They should match up primarily with the top line for the Flames, who are giving up a ton of chances in a small sample.

New York Islanders 2 – Brock Nelson/Pierre Engvall/Kyle Palmieri: This line has a really nice matchup against the third line for Minnesota, and they should see plenty of chances tonight.

Monday brings us a fairly large nine game slate with a lot of options. Monday slates tend to be a little smaller, but with tomorrow being Halloween, they chose to make tonight the bigger of the early week. Let’s look at the best NHL DFS plays for tonight. Good luck!

Goalies

Linus Ullmark – Boston Bruins: This is a very solid upside matchup tonight for Ullmark on home ice against the Panthers. This carries some risk, but Florida is scoring just 2.2 goals per game through their last five.

Jake Oettinger – Dallas Stars: This is considered a somewhat safe pick, as the Stars should handle the Blue Jackets at home tonight. Keep this one reserved for cash and single entry tournaments.

John Gibson – Anaheim Ducks: The Ducks head to Pittsburgh tonight to face the Penguins in what should be an interesting game. The Pens have been poor over their last five, and giving up a bunch of chances, so there is a legitimate chance for a surprise win tonight. The shot upside will be there as well.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Carter Hart – Philadelphia Flyers: The Flyers are supposed to stink, but have been playing decent hockey to start this season. Tonight, they get the Carolina Hurricanes in Philly. The Canes love to fire off low danger shots, so this is a nice upside spot with a bunch of risk.

Others to Consider: Adin Hill (VGK), Connor Hellebuyck (WPG)

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).

Dallas Stars 1 – Roope Hintz/Jason Robertson/Joe Pavelski/Miro Heiskanen: The Stars host Columbus tonight, and this is a great spot for some offensive upside. They won’t really be hard matching any particular line, but Columbus is not exactly a defensive juggernaut, surrendering the 13th worst HDCA/60 as a team.

Vegas Golden Knights Power Play – Jack Eichel/Chandler Stephenson/Mark Stone/Jonathan Marchessault/Shea Theodore: The Knights host the Canadiens tonight, and Montreal has taken the most penalties per game so far this season. This power play unit should be able to take advantage of that and put a couple on the board.

Tampa Bay Lightning 2 – Nick Paul/Steven Stamkos/Brandon Hagel: This line should match the top line for Seattle tonight in a great matchup. Tampa 1 should carry some ownership, so this line is a great leverage spot and has a better matchup on paper than the top line.

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).

Anaheim Ducks 2 – Mason McTavish/Ryan Strome/Frank Vatrano: This is a really interesting spot for the Ducks tonight, as they should face the Malkin line for a majority of the night. These guys will carry little to no ownership and are in a good enough spot to have a bunch of upside.

Florida Panthers 2 – Eetu Luostarinen/Matthew Tkachuk/Carter Verhaeghe: This line is in an interesting spot against the Bruins tonight. If you don’t trust Ullmark, you can definitely roll these guys.

Philadelphia Flyers 3 – Noah Cates/Bobby Brink/Joel Farabee: This line is in a good spot against the second line for the Hurricanes tonight. They provide a ton of value and should have some chances.

Detroit Red Wings 1 – Dylan Larkin/Lucas Raymond/Alex Debrincat/Mo Seider: The Red Wings’ top line should sneak under the radar tonight but has a very, very juicy matchup with the top Islander line. There is risk here because Sorokin is solid, but this is a great place to look for deep GPP.

NHL DFS Honorable Mentions: PIT1, CAR1, BOSPP

Value Options – DraftKings

Consider these NHL DFS plays to help save you some salary in your lineups on DraftKings. Be sure to stack!

Center: Noah Cates ($2900) – Philadelphia Flyers

We have another Saturday slate, so that means it’s a massive one! Tonight is a whopping 13 game slate that starts at 7pm Eastern. There are a lot of spots to look tonight, so we will try to filter them down. Let’s look at the best NHL DFS plays for tonight. Good luck!

Goalies

Alexandar Georgiev – Colorado Avalanch: The Avs host the Hurricanes tonight and this is a great upside spot. The Canes love shooting the puck, and Georgiev has some good looking numbers early on.

Sergei Bobrovsky – Florida Panthers: The Panthers host the Canucks tonight and Bob should be in a good spot.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Arvid Soderblom – Chicago Blackhawks: Chicago hosts the Golden Knights tonight and this is a very interesting spot for upside. Soderblom should see a ton of shots, and his numbers look solid early in the season. If he can keep that up, this is a great GPP play.

Others to Consider: Juuse Saros (NSH), Jeremy Swayman (BOS), Jake Allen (MON)

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).

Toronto Maple Leafs 1 – Auston Matthews/Mitch Marner/Tyler Bertuzzi: The Leafs head to Tampa tonight to take on the Lightning, who look nothing like what they have in recent years. With Vasilevskiy on the shelf, the Lightning have been giving up a ton of goals. With tonight being what should be a high event game, this is a great spot for the top Leafs line.

Colorado Avalanche 1 – Nathan MacKinnon/Mikko Rantanen/Jonathan Drouin/Cale Makar: This is a very solid matchup tonight for the top Avs line. They get a fairly decent defensive team in the Hurricanes, but this is more about the goalie matchup. Kochetkov is penciled in to start, and that is a great matchup for one of the best forward lines out there.

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 1 – Nick Suzuki/Cole Caufield/Rafael Harvey-Pinard: You can sub out Harvey-Pinard here for either Monahan or Anderson to make a power play look. The Canadiens take on the Caps tonight, who have been terrible to start the season.

Winnipeg Jets 2 – Vladislav Namestnikov/Cole Perfetti/Nikolaj Ehlers: The Jets get a date with the Oilers tonight, who have been giving up tons of chances and goals. This is a very solid matchup that will be very under the radar.

Nashville Predators 3 – Tommy Novak/Luke Evangelista/Kiefer Sherwood: The Preds host the Sharks tonight, who are not a very good team. This line should see the depth who is poor defensively, so they should definitely get their chances.

NHL DFS Honorable Mentions: DAL1, EDMPP, BOS1, MIN1, VGK1, FLA2

Tonight, we have a nice 8 game slate with some big hitters on it and some sneaky plays. This one feels like a good place to get some leverage and play the not-so-obvious plays. Let’s dive into the best NHL DFS plays for tonight. Good luck!

Goalies

Connor Hellebuyck – Winnipeg Jets: The Jets host the Kings tonight, and Helly is a better bet on home ice than he is on the road. He is one of the more solid goalies, and he has a nice looking matchup tonight.

Frederik Andersen – Carolina Hurricanes: Freddie and the Canes have a pretty nice matchup tonight against the Sharks in San Jose. This is a bit of a safer play, as SJ is just not that great offensively.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Juuse Saros – Nashville Predators: The Preds host the Oilers tonight, and Edmonton has a tendency to be better on home ice than on the road. This is a great upside spot for Saros, and as long as they shut down the McDavid/Draisaitl duo, he could be in line for a big game.

Others to Consider: Ilya Sorokin (NYI), Jake Oettinger (DAL), Alexandar Georgiev (COL)

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: The Sabres host the Lightning tonight, and this is about the Sabres’ opportunity to take advantage of a banged up team. Johansson for the Lightning began this season on a rough note, and there is no reason that shouldn’t continue tonight. This should be a decent leverage spot.

Carolina Hurricanes Power Play – Sebastian Aho/Seth Jarvis/Michael Bunting/Brent Burns/Tony DeAngelo: This unit has a great matchup tonight against a pretty poor Sharks team. They should be able to light the lamp a few times. If going the full unit, choose between DeAngelo and Burns, rather than playing them together.

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).

Tampa Bay Lightning 1 – Brayden Point/Nikita Kucherov/Brandon Hagel/Victor Hedman: The Buffalo/Tampa game should feature a ton of scoring, and this is the only productive line so far for Tampa. They should see their chances tonight, and will likely be able to capitalize on a few of them.

Winnipeg Jets 1 – Mark Scheifele/Kyle Connor/Gabriel Vilardi/Josh Morrissey: The Jets host the Kings tonight in what should be a decent matchup for them. This is more about the goalie matchup than it is the even strength matchup, so make sure Talbot gets the start for the Kings.

Nashville Predators 3 – Tommy Novak/Luke Evangelista/Philip Tomasino: The Preds’ top line will most likely be chasing McDavid and company around tonight, opening up a decent matchup for this line against the depth of the Oilers. They provide good value and could be a great leverage play in deep GPPs.

Minnesota Wild 2 – Marcus Johansson/Joel Eriksson Ek/Matt Boldy: Playing this line completely hinges on if Boldy plays tonight. If he is in, then this line is full go. If not, then you can pivot to the top line. The Wild get the Canadiens tonight in a solid matchup.

Almost a week into the NHL season, and it has been a fun ride already. Between MLB playoffs, the NFL, and now hockey, October is one of the best months for sports fans. The NHL slates so far have been manageable, and tonight is no different, with a nice five game slate. All games start at 7pm Eastern. Let’s dive into the best NHL DFS plays for tonight. Good luck!

Goalies

Joseph Woll – Toronto Maple Leafs: The Leafs host Chicago tonight, and this is your ‘safe’ goalie pick. Woll is a candidate for cash and single entry lineups. He should pull a win, but the shot volume may not be there for deeper GPP.

Vitek Vanecek – New Jersey Devils: This is a nice looking pick tonight, as the Devils host the Panthers. Florida should fire a bunch of shots toward Vanecek tonight, giving him a good look at some upside. Florida has also been struggling to score, so a win is not out of the question.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Petr Mrazek – Chicago Blackhawks: This is the ultimate leverage play tonight. The Leafs will fire a ton of shots at Mrazek tonight, and the Hawks are on the road, so there is a ton of risk here. However, the shot volume will be there, and Mrazek doesn’t have terrible numbers to start the season. If he shuts down or limits the Leafs, the leverage could be huge in deep GPPs.

Others to Consider: Igor Shesterkin (NYR), Jacob Markstrom (CGY)

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).

Toronto Maple Leafs 1 – Auston Matthews/Mitch Marner/Tyler Bertuzzi/John Klingberg: Auston Matthews is on an absolute tear to start the season, netting a hat trick in both of their first two games. This line is hot, and in a great spot against Chicago tonight. Expect them to be heavily owned, and for good reason.

Detroit Red Wings 1 – Dylan Larkin/Lucas Raymond/Alex Debrincat/Moritz Seider: This is a fantastic looking line tonight against the Columbus Blue Jackets. They should match up against the top line, who is bleeding chances in the first two games of their season. This is a great GPP pivot off of Toronto, and could be the key to 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).

New York Rangers 2 – Filip Chytil/Artemi Panarin/Alexis Lafreniere: The Rangers host the Coyotes tonight in their home opener, and this is a good spot for the second line. They should see a bunch of the depth for Arizona tonight, opening them up lots of chances. You can also consider a power play look here, as Arizona has been pretty rough on the PK over the last few years.

Calgary Flames Power Play – Nazem Kadri/Elias Lindholm/Jonathan Huberdeau/Matt Coronato/Rasmus Andersson: The Flames have a good matchup tonight on the road against a Washington team that has limped out of the gate to start the season. The top line is the even strength play here, so mixing in Kadri will help differentiate and get exposure to the second line.

Florida Panthers 1 – Aleksander Barkov/Carter Verhaeghe/Evan Rodrigues/Oliver Ekman-Larsson: The Panthers’ top line is in a good even strength matchup against the second line for the Devils tonight. They are risky because they have been playing poorly to start the season, but this might be their chance to turn it around. Don’t stack them against Vanecek in the same lineup.

New Jersey Devils 1 – Jack Hughes/Tyler Toffoli/Jesper Bratt/Dougie Hamilton: Don’t trust Florida yet? That’s ok! We can turn to the top Devils line instead. They should see a lot of the Florida depth tonight, which puts them in a plus matchup.

WE ARE BACK!!!! Just like that, the new NHL season is upon us, and we are so excited for another year! We kick off the new season tonight at 5:30pm Eastern time, so be sure to have your builds ready to go early tonight. With just three games on the slate, it will be an interesting one, with some volatility. Remember, early season NHL DFS is very high variance, and we are going off of very little stats to start with. So, play light, have some fun, and good luck!

Goalies

Tristan Jarry – Pittsburgh Penguins: Jarry and the Pens host the Chicago Blackhawks tonight, in what should be a winnable game for the Pens. There could be some limited upside here, so it’s risky, but Jarry will carry plenty of ownership.

Juuse Saros – Nashville Predators: The Preds head to Tampa tonight to take on the Lightning, and this is an upside spot. Tampa should generate a bunch of shots tonight, and Saros has the talent to keep up with them. Keep in mind, this is a risky play, as Saros is historically not as good on the road as he is at home. It’s worth a look in deep GPPs though.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Phillipp Grubauer: The Kraken head to Vegas tonight to take on the defending champs, and this is a good upside spot for Grubauer. Vegas should throw some shots at him tonight, and while he may give up a couple, he has a chance at the save bonus on DraftKings.

Others to Consider: Jonas Johansson (TBL), Adin Hill (VGK)

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).

Pittsburgh Penguins Power Play – Sidney Crosby/Evgeni Malkin/Jake Guentzel/Kris Letang/Erik Karlsson: Yes, you read that right. The big acquisition over the summer was Erik Karlsson going to the Pens to bolster their blue line and give them some back end scoring. EK65 on the power play with Letang and company should give them a nice boost, and the Hawks were a bottom 10 penalty kill last year. Keep an eye on Guentzel, as he is a game time decision.

Tampa Bay Lightning Power Play – Brayden Point/Nikita Kucherov/Steven Stamkos/Nick Paul/Victor Hedman: The Lightning power play unit should continue to be dominant this year, and they are playable tonight against the Predators. Make sure you don’t play Saros in the same lineup if you go here. This unit will likely be the second most popular behind Pittsburgh.

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).

Chicago Blackhawks 1 – Connor Bedard/Taylor Hall/Ryan Donato: Here comes Bedard! The rookie phenom and newest Hawk makes his debut on the road tonight against Pittsburgh. This top line had some preseason success, but we can’t be sure that it carries over to the regular season. It’ll be fun to watch him play tonight, but we don’t quite know how he will take to the big stage.

Nashville Predators 1 – Ryan O’Reilly/Filip Forsberg/Juuso Parssinen/Roman Josi: The addition of ROR here makes this line look very interesting. While they will not be that good defensively, they should be able to generate some scoring chances.

Vegas Golden Knights 1 – Jack Eichel/Ivan Barbashev/Jonathan Marchessault: We will find out tonight if there will be a Stanley Cup hangover, which is why this line is risky. They are a good scoring line, and should see some chances, so be sure to consider them tonight.

Seattle Kraken 3 – Yanni Gourde/Eeli Tolvanen/Oliver Bjorkstrand: One of the more prolific third lines in the league is this Kraken third line. While they are preferred on home ice, they should have a nice opportunity tonight against Vegas at very low ownership. Early in the season, it is good to stick to what we know from last year (until we learn more this year). So for now, we can confidently ride this line.
