NHL DFS Picks

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.

NHL DFS Honorable Mentions: MTL1, BUF1, COL2, STL2

Tonight offers us another very solid looking six game slate in the NHL. There are some interesting games tonight that could either way, and definitely some nice spots to attack. Let’s get into our NHL DFS picks for DraftKings and FanDuel. Good luck!

Goalies

Tristan Jarry – Pittsburgh Penguins: The Pens host the Stars tonight in what should be a good spot for Jarry. The Stars tend to struggle on the road, and this should be a spot where Jarry can pick up the win.

Igor Shesterkin – New York Rangers: Igor should see a bunch of shots tonight, as the Rangers host the Devils, so there is definitely some upside potential here. He is a little risky, given how well NJ has played this year, but there is a potential for upside tonight.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Stuart Skinner – Edmonton Oilers: Skinner has been playing fairly well over his last five starts, but Edmonton as a whole has not been very good on defense all year. His recent numbers are definitely improving, so this is a good place to look for a potential upside, leverage win.

Others to Consider: Juuse Saros (NSH), Thomas Greiss (STL), Vitek Vanecek (NJD)

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).

Ottawa Senators Power Play – Tim Stutzle/Drake Batherson/Brady Tkachuk/Alex Debrincat/Thomas Chabot: The top play on the board tonight appears to be the Sens’ power play. They get to face the Ducks’ 30th ranked PK unit and will definitely have their chances. Keep an eye on the Debrincat news, as he has a GTD tag on him. You can also give the second Ottawa line a good look tonight, provided that Debrincat plays. If not the, the focus shifts to Stutzle/Tkachuk/Chabot as a 3-man.

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 1 – Elias Lindholm/Jonathan Huberdeau/Tyler Toffoli/Rasmus Andersson: The Flames’ top line appears to be in a great spot tonight, as they head to Montreal to face the Canadiens. Jake Allen looks to be getting the nod in net for the Habs, and this line should be able to do some damage against him tonight. There is some risk in that the Flames have been struggling to score recently, but this is a nice get-right spot for them to change that.

Pittsburgh Penguins 2 – Evgeni Malkin/Jason Zucker/Bryan Rust: The Pens put their fourth line on the opposing top line, which sets up a great matchup for this second line against the Dallas depth. The top line for the Pens is in play, but there appears to be a little more value in this line tonight.

Minnesota Wild 1 – Sam Steel/Kirill Kaprizov/Mats Zuccarello/Jared Spurgeon: The top line for Minnesota has a juicy matchup against the depth lines for Edmonton tonight, and this could be one of those surprise spots. Steel on this line provides a good bit of value, making them workable for a lot of combinations of lineup builds.

We enter the holiday season on this Monday with a very nice little six game slate. Six games is pretty much the perfect sized slate, not too big, and not too small. Check out our DFS picks below for DraftKings and FanDuel! Good luck!

Goalies

Logan Thompson – Vegas Golden Knights: The Knights head to Columbus tonight to face the Blue Jackets in what is a winnable game. Thompson has a solid matchup tonight and should end up being the safest of the bunch tonight.

Vitek Vanecek – New Jersey Devils: The Devils face the Rangers tonight in what should be an interesting matchup. Vanecek has been solid all year long, and has a chance at some decent upside tonight. However, there is a little risk involved in this one, since it is the Rangers, who can turn it on at any time.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Ville Husso – Detroit Red Wings: The Wings host the Leafs tonight, and Husso should be peppered with shots. He has some solid looking numbers of late, so this looks like a good upside spot. Don’t go all in on him, but he makes sense for some leverage in tournaments.

Others to Consider: Jake Oettinger (DAL), Igor Shesterkin (NYR)

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/Steven Stamkos/Nikita Kucherov/Alex Killorn/Victor Hedman: Tampa heads to Buffalo tonight to face the Sabres, who finally snapped out of a losing streak. However, this matchup is solid for the Bolts, and both top lines are in a great spot against a mediocre goalie tonight.

Vegas Golden Knights 1 – Jack Eichel/Mark Stone/Chandler Stephenson/Alex Pietrangelo: As mentioned above, Vegas has a great matchup tonight, and this top line should benefit from it. They should end up seeing a lot of the Kuraly line tonight, which sets them up very nicely.

Florida Panthers 1 – Sam Bennett/Nick Cousins/Matthew Tkachuk/Aaron Ekblad: The Panthers’ top line has a great matchup tonight against Edmonton. Even without Barkov, targeting Edmonton has been a great strategy this year, since their defensive ability is questionable.

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).

Dallas Stars 1 -Roope Hintz/Jason Robertson/Joe Pavelski/Miro Heiskanen: The Stars face the Blues tonight in a game that could be higher scoring. This line is the play most of the time for the Stars, and tonight is no different. Dallas could go a little overlooked on a slate like this, and this line at low ownership is always a decent bet.

St. Louis Blues 1 – Robert Thomas/Vladimir Tarasenko/Pavel Buchnevich/Torey Krug: In that same game, the Blues side of things looks interesting as well. Getting Tarasenko back provides a nice boost to this top line, and this could be another lower-owned leverage spot in a game that could end up getting up there in scoring.

New York Rangers 3 – Vincent Trocheck/Alexis Lafreniere/Barclay Goodrow: The even strength matchup for this line is very, very nice, and could set them up to be a great value play tonight. The Devils have been very solid, and the fact that this line could be limited in ice time makes them a pretty risky play.

NHL DFS Honorable Mentions: BUF1, TORPP, EDM1, NJD1, DAL1

Value Options – DraftKings

After last night’s nice 9 game slate, we end up with a baby 2-gamer tonight. This one looks interesting, and will be a very volatile slate. Keep it light tonight and prep for tomorrow’s massive slate. Check out our NHL DFS picks for tonight below. Good luck!

Goalies

With only four teams in action tonight, we will list the goalies in order of risk below, from safest to riskiest. As usual, be sure to keep an eye on news through the day to verify they draw the start.

Igor Shesterkin – New York Rangers: Igor is hands-down the best goalie on this slate from a talent perspective. He has some fantastic numbers this year, and the Rangers have a good chance at winning this game tonight.

Jake Allen – Montreal Canadiens: The Canadiens host the Sabres tonight, who have been pretty bad of late. They have been losing like crazy, and are averaging just 1 goal per game over their last five. Allen’s numbers aren’t pretty, but this is more about the matchup.

Jonathan Quick – Los Angeles Kings: Quick has been very inconsistent of late. He has a whopping 4.67 GAA over his last five, and those types of numbers are scary when you think of him facing the Rangers. We know the Rangers can score, and they should be able to take advantage of Quick tonight. However, from a risk/reward standpoint, Quick can be a solid deep GPP option, since the volume will be there.

Craig Anderson – Buffalo Sabres: Anderson’s numbers actually aren’t terrible. However, this is an unfavorable matchup for him and the Sabres tonight. Montreal looks to be in a prime spot tonight. We aren’t saying don’t use him at all, but he should be reserved for MME style play for tonight.

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).

Stacking Notes: Before we get into plays, we want to cover a quick note about stacking on a 2-game slate. In general, on DraftKings especially, a preferred build on a bigger slate is 3-3-2, covering your bases with D-men and dropping a forward off of a stack. On a two game slate, stacking a full forward line makes a lot of sense from a leverage standpoint. For example, if a common build is to play Zibanejad with Kreider and Fox, you can get different by playing Zibanejad with Kreider and Vesey instead. As most people will leave Vesey off, if he benefits from that line scoring, you will have an advantage on the field.

In our example above (Zib/Kreider/Vesey), add your second full forward line stack, and then fill in your D spots with floor. If they correlate with the two stacks, great, but if not, that’s ok. Chase blocked shots and shots on goal as much as possible so that you get the most out of those two D spots.

Montreal Canadiens 1 – Nick Suzuki/Cole Caufield/Kirby Dach/Michael Matheson: Based on the line matching for Montreal, this line tends to find itself against the better or best lines for the opposition. That means that this line should see a majority of the Thompson line for Buffalo tonight, who is giving up a massive 34.83 SCA/60 and 17.94 HDCA/60. It helps that this line has been on fire recently, so definitely get some Canadiens in your lineups tonight.

New York Rangers 2 – Vincent Trocheck/Artemi Panarin/Barclay Goodrow/Adam Fox: This line has a date with the Kings’ top line tonight, who are giving up 38.46 SCA/60 and 21.64 HDCA/60, which means that this line could absolutely break the slate. The matchup should be pretty wide open, as this line is not a stellar defensive line themselves. A game stack with this line and the Kings’ top line is certainly a possibility 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).

Buffalo Sabres 1 – Tage Thompson/Jeff Skinner/Alex Tuch/Rasmus Dahlin: The Sabres have gone cold recently, but this top line is in play on a two game slate. They have to break out of that slump at some point, and there is a possibility that tonight could be the time to do so. The Canadiens are giving up goals, so there should be chances, but the worry here is that Buffalo just cannot convert. Their matchup with the top Canadiens’ line could be limiting, which is the risky part of this play, but on two games, anything can happen.

Los Angeles Kings 1 – Anze Kopitar/Kevin Fiala/Adrian Kempe/Drew Doughty: Fiala moves back to the top line, and, as mentioned above, this line should see the second line for the Rangers tonight. This sets the top line up for an interesting look, and this line could be a little sneaky tonight. The field will likely be on Shesterkin, so they may be a leverage play.

It’s Monday, which means it’s time for the Man Advantage. Tonight brings us a main slate that starts at 8:30pm Eastern, but there is also a game between the Islanders and Senators at 5:30pm Eastern that is not included on either the DraftKings or FanDuel main slate. That brings us to a small, three game slate that looks tricky at first glance. Remember, three games means we are going to take some risks and play a very GPP approach. Good luck!

Goalies

Alexandar Georgiev – Colorado Avalanche: The Avalanche host the Blues tonight, and Georgiev should be in line for the win. The Blues have been struggling of late, scoring just 1.8 goals per game over their last five, and Georgiev’s numbers have been very solid. The shot volume may not be there, but he should be a decent ‘safe’-ish play tonight.

Jonathan Quick – Los Angeles Kings: This is a very interesting play that carries some risk. Quick’s numbers have been great recently, sporting a 1.58 GAA over his last five. However, some of that is due to the play in front of him. As a team, over their last five, the Kings are allowing just 18.76 scoring chances per 60 and 6.34 high danger chances against per 60. Keep in mind that there is a chance that Quick regresses, so hedge this play in a line or two with some Flames.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Arvid Soderblom Petr Mrazek- Chicago Blackhawks: The Hawks host the Hurricanes tonight, and this is a very intriguing risky play in net. The Canes are currently shooting about 25 times per game over their last five (during 5v5 play), and the Hawks have been giving up 30 shots against per game in that same time frame. There will be a ton of shot volume headed Soderblom’s way, and he has been very solid. He will let in a couple, maybe even more, but he should see the DraftKings save bonus. Anything more than that, like a sneaky win, would probably make him the top play if he performs well. UPDATE – Mrazek gets the nod in net. He is a lot more risky than Soderblom would have been, but is worth a shot, as all of the same factors are in play.

Others to Consider: Jacob Markstrom (CGY), Antti Raanta (CAR)

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).

Colorado Avalanche Power Play – Evan Rodrigues/Nathan MacKinnon/Artturi Lehkonen/Mikko Rantanen/Cale Makar: It’s very hard to argue against this play tonight, as the Avalanche host the Blues. The Avalanche have the top power play and will be facing the 28th ranked penalty kill for the Blues. This is a great play, and they will likely be heavily owned tonight.

Colorado Avalanche 2 – Evan Rodrigues/Alex Newhook/Martin Kaut/Jacob MacDonald: This is a little unconventional for us to list the same team twice, but the numbers for this even strength matchup cannot be ignored. This line will most likely see the second Blues’ line, who has a small sample. However, in the 20 minute sample of ice time, they are giving up 48.96 scoring chances against per 60 and 25.92 high danger chances against per 60. That’s enough reason, on a small slate, to heavily consider playing this line tonight. There is some risk here, but it will be very different.

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).

Los Angeles Kings 2 – Phillip Danault/Trevor Moore/Viktor Arvidsson/Sean Durzi: The Kings’ second line is in a good spot against the depth for Calgary. The Flames don’t really hard match, but this line should see a bunch of the second and third lines, creating a plus matchup. Throw in that Markstrom has been struggling a bit of late, and this looks like an interesting spot to play.

Carolina Hurricanes 3 – Jordan Staal/Jordan Martinook/Jesper Fast: If the Hawks run the same line matching scheme as the last couple of games, then this line should see a healthy dose of the top Hawks’ line. That puts this third line in a FANTASTIC spot tonight. They are cheap and could provide a ton of value. Make sure you aren’t stacking them against Soderblom in the same lineup.

Chicago Blackhawks 3 – Sam Lafferty/Boris Katchouk/Mackenzie Entwistle: This is another kind of crazy play tonight, and it pertains to the same line matching above. The third line over the last two games for the Hawks has matched the top opposing line, which would put these guys in a good spot. Their numbers aren’t as gaudy as the third Carolina line, but they are worth a look tonight in deeper GPPs.
