NHL

March has kicked off with a bang! Lots of moves at the trade deadline gave us some interesting new looks. Something to keep in mind this time of year is that things will take a little bit to settle out after the trades all throughout the NHL. Tonight gives us a nice little six game slate with some guys on new teams. Let’s check out our DFS picks for DraftKings and FanDuel. Good luck!

Goalies

Cam Talbot – Ottawa Senators: The Sens have been red hot lately, and they get a very nice matchup tonight against the Chicago Blackhawks, who are running a minor league roster after the trade deadline. Talbot is a fairly safe play, but may not see a lot of upside.

Thatcher Demko – Vancouver Canucks: Both teams in this Nashville/Vancouver game have been allergic to scoring of late, so you can use either goalie in this game, depending on your salary/build.

Pheonix Copley – Los Angeles Kings: Copley gets a date with the Caps tonight, who have been scoring. That presents a little bit of risk in this play, but it is definitely intriguing. There should be some upside volume here.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Craig Anderson – Buffalo Sabres: The Sabres are hosting the Oilers tonight, who are only scoring 2.4 goals per game over their last five. This is a very low number for a team that can be explosive. Anderson should see a ton of volume, and the Sabres have been allowing a ton of chances, so the upside is there. The risk is of course that it’s Edmonton and they can blow up for 8 goals on any given night.

Others to Consider: Juuse Saros (NSH), David Rittich (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).

Ottawa Senators 1 – Tim Stutzle/Claude Giroux/Brady Tkachuk/Thomas Chabot: As mentioned above, the Sens have been red hot, and this is the line doing the damage. They have a fantastic spot tonight against the Blackhawks, and there is no reason to think they can’t keep it up. They should be fairly heavily owned, but for very good reason. Debrincat with this line makes the power play unit, which is another way you can approach them.

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/Jack Quinn/Jeff Skinner/Rasmus Dahlin: The Sabres’ top line has been playing well of late, and they get an interesting home date with the Oilers tonight. This should be a high event game, and Edmonton can certainly be scored on. Skinner for the Oilers has some recent numbers that aren’t too great, so this looks like a really nice leverage spot.

Dallas Stars 2 – Wyatt Johnson/Evgenii Dadonov/Jamie Benn: This second line will see a bunch of the top line for the Flames in a plus matchup. The numbers for this matchup aren’t astounding, but there is some reason to believe that they should see some decent chances tonight. DAL3 is intriguing as well, but are even riskier.

Winnipeg Jets 3 – Adam Lowry/Vladislav Namestnikov/Morgan Barron: This line has a fantastic matchup tonight against the top line for the Sharks. They also get Reimer in net, who has been rough recently. This could very well be a top value line tonight.

Ottawa Senators 3 – Dylan Gambrell/Julien Gauthier/Mathieu Joseph: This play is strictly about opportunity. Line matching suggests that this line will see the top Hawks’ line all night, which sets them up for a bunch of chances.

Los Angeles Kings 2 – Phillip Danault/Viktor Arvidsson/Kevin Fiala: The Kings’ second line has a nice matchup tonight against the top line for the Capitals. That top line is allowing tons of chances, so there should be plenty of opportunity for scoring for this line tonight.

The final Tuesday slate of February brings us a healthy 10 game slate. There will be a lot of places to go tonight, so we will get right into it. Let’s find the best NHL DFS plays for DraftKings and FanDuel. Good luck!

Goalies

Linus Ullmark – Boston Bruins: The Bruins were just in Edmonton last night, where Swayman got a win. With that being said, Ullmark should be in line to face the Flames tonight. We may not know for sure until later today, so make sure you keep an eye on news. This is a great upside spot for a goalie who has been solid all year long.

Andre Vasilevskiy – Tampa Bay Lightning: Vas gets the Florida Panthers at home tonight in what should be a really nice upside spot for him. The Panthers are shooting a ton recently, and Vas is one of the best.

Juuse Saros – Nashville Predators: The Preds host the Penguins tonight, who exploded in their last game. This should be a decent leverage spot, as there should be some shot volume and some upside. Saros has solid numbers recently.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Karel Vejmelka – Arizona Coyotes: The Coyotes host the Chicago Blackhawks tonight in a very interesting game. Both of these teams are not very good overall, especially on defense. Neither team is good on offense either, but weirdly, both teams seem to be scoring of late. Vejmelka presents a decent play tonight, as Chicago is on the road on a back to back. There is definitely some risk here, as his numbers of late have been scary, but he is worth a look.

Others to Consider: Ville Husso (DET), Pheonix Copley (LAK), Filip Gustavsson (MIN)

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/Mikhail Sergachev: This is a fantastic spot for the second ranked power play unit in the league. The Panthers are second in times shorthanded per game, and they are ranked 27th on the penalty kill. There should be a ton of chances for this unit to capitalize tonight.

Arizona Coyotes 1 – Barrett Hayton/Nick Schmaltz/Clayton Keller/Juuso Valimaki: The Coyotes are in a good spot against a Chicago team who has a porous defense. This line is about the only line that produces for the Coyotes, and they have a solid matchup against the Domi line tonight, who give up tons of chances.

San Jose Sharks 2 – Tomas Hertl/Martin Kaut/Fabian Zetterlund: The Sharks host the Canadiens tonight, and this is a really nice spot for this second line. Kaut and Zetterlund are newly acquired, and they should take on the top six for the Candiens in a plus matchup.

High Risk Lines

These are NHL DFS plays that carry significantly more risk, but could pay off at low ownership. They will be listed by position in the following order: Center/Winger/Winger/Correlating Defenseman (if applicable).

Buffalo Sabres 2 – Dylan Cozens/Vinnie Hinostroza/Casey Mittelstadt: The Sabres are in a good spot up and down the lineup, and scoring might come from everywhere tonight. That is bad for DFS. However, with the top line probably garnering more ownership, this second line is very much in play in arguably a better matchup. The risk here is that scoring is in fact not concentrated enough to vault you up the board.

Columbus Blue Jackets 3 – Sean Kuraly/Eric Robinson/Mathieu Olivier: Speaking of risk, this line will have a ton of it. The even strength matchup dictates that they should have some chances. This is a play reserved for very deep GPP.

Seattle Kraken 3 – Yanni Gourde/Eeli Tolvanen/Oliver Bjorkstrand: Expect anything less? This third line has been on a tear recently, and they have a great matchup tonight against the depth lines for St. Louis. They should see plenty of chances and have some great upside potential.

NHL DFS Honorable Mentions: BOSPP, BUF1, OTT1, SJS1, SEA2

Value Options – DraftKings

Welcome to WinDaily’s NHL Man Advantage! We are just about through February, which means that the home stretch of the regular season is upon us. It’s also trade season, so it’s very, very important to keep an eye on the news over the next few days of NHL DFS. Trade season also means that things are a little more volatile, so it can be a little hectic (but FUN!). Let’s check out our DFS picks for DraftKings and FanDuel. Good luck!

Goalies

Linus Ullmark – Boston Bruins: The B’s head to Edmonton tonight to take on the Oilers, and this is a risky, upside pick. Ullmark has been very solid all year long, and the Oilers should throw a ton of shots his way tonight. The Oilers are a dangerous team, but they have been scoring under 3 goals per game over their last five. The B’s have only given up 1.4 goals against per game in that same time frame, and Ullmark has a 0.944 SV% and a 1.67 GAA in that span.

Alexandar Georgiev – Colorado Avalanche: The Avs host Vegas tonight, and Geo has been solid over his last five. There may not be quite as much upside as Ullmark, but he is worth a look tonight.

Jake Oettinger – Dallas Stars: The Stars host the Canucks tonight, who are allergic to scoring of late. This should be the safe goalie for cash. He can be used in GPP, but only if you have the salary to make it work. Don’t force this play into GPP lineups.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Ville Husso – Detroit Red Wings: The Wings head to Ottawa tonight, and this is a very interesting look. Husso has been inconsistent this year, but he has his spots, and this one feels like a spot where he will show up. Ottawa should fire away tonight, but Detroit has a chance at stealing a win.

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/Jake Debrusk/Brad Marchand/David Pastrnak/Charlie McAvoy: This unit was not going to be listed here, as Edmonton has been solid at even strength. However, the Oilers sport the 25th ranked penalty kill in the league, and they take the 4th most penalties per game. This game should be fairly tight, but the power play for Boston should be in a decent upside spot.

Detroit Red Wings 1 – Dylan Larkin/Tyler Bertuzzi/David Perron: The Wings head to Ottawa tonight, and this is a very interesting spot for this top line. They should see the likes of the top Ottawa line in a plus matchup. A small sample size says that this line has been dominating. They are a little risky, but Talbot in net gives them a really nice boost.

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 – Max Domi/Andreas Athanasiou/Philipp Kurashev/Seth Jones: The Hawks are an interesting bunch tonight, especially this top line. It all depends on how Anaheim ends up matching their lines tonight. Usually, they throw the third line against the top line, which would set these guys up really nicely. If Patrick Kane ends up back in the lineup, then this line becomes even nicer.

Anaheim Ducks 1 – Trevor Zegras/Jakob Silfverberg/Ryan Strome/Cam Fowler: In the same game, the Ducks are in a really good spot as well. There should be a bunch of scoring in this game, but the problem is that it could be very spread out. The Ducks and Hawks are already at the point where they don’t have a lot to play for this season.

Vegas Golden Knights 3 – Chandler Stephenson/Phil Kessel/Will Carrier: The Knights’ third line has a very juicy matchup with the second Colorado line tonight. They could have a lot of upside value and can help you get to the higher priced lines. If you do go here, make sure not to stack against Georgiev.

NHL DFS Honorable Mentions: EDMPP, COL1, VAN1, DAL1

Value Options – DraftKings

Happy Tuesday! With no NBA to be played, both sites have given us some pretty massive prizes for NHL tonight ($50k to first on DraftKings!) We have a nice 9 game slate to break down, so we will get right into it. Let’s find the best NHL DFS plays for DraftKings and FanDuel. Good luck!

Goalies

Andrei Vasilevskiy – Tampa Bay Lightning: The Lightning are in a great spot tonight and should be heavily owned. Vasilevskiy is your chalk and cash goalie on the night in a very good spot.

Ilya Samsonov – Toronto Maple Leafs: This is a good spot for Samsonov tonight, as the Leafs head to Buffalo to take on the Sabres. He has been solid this year and of late, and should see a decent amount of shots.

Frederik Andersen – Carolina Hurricanes: Freddie and the Canes face off against the Blues tonight on home ice. Andersen has been playing well and should see some decent shot volume tonight.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Carter Hart – Philadelphia Flyers: The Flyers are in Edmonton tonight, so this is the riskiest we can get. Hart hasn’t been amazing over his last few starts, but he does get an Edmonton team that has been struggling to generate chances over their last five. He should see a ton of shot volume, providing a potential for some nice upside.

Others to Consider: Filip Gustavsson (MIN), Pheonix Copley (LAK), 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).

Tampa Bay Lightning Power Play – Brayden Point/Steven Stamkos/Brandon Hagel/Nikita Kucherov/Victor Hedman: The power play unit for the Lightning is in about the best spot you can be in for a slate. They are getting a Ducks team that is on a traveling back-to-back. The Ducks spend the 7th most amount of time on the penalty kill in the league, and their PK is ranked a dismal 29th. The Lightning power play is ranked 5th overall.

Toronto Maple Leafs 2 – Ryan O’Reilly/John Tavares/Mitch Marner: In a small sample, this second line is generating a ton of chances and should have a matchup tonight against the top two lines for the Sabres. Their better chances should come when they get the top line, but the whole matchup looks very good.

Carolina Hurricanes 3 – Jordan Staal/Jordan Martinook/Jesper Fast: One of the favorite lines around our Discord, the third line for Carolina has a fantastic matchup tonight against the top Blues’ line. That top Blues line is not very good on defense, and this line will be locked into them all night long. Yes, there is risk here, but this is way too juicy of a matchup, and will make you different in a GPP like the one that has $50k to first.

Vegas Golden Knights 2 – William Karlsson/Mike Amadio/Reilly Smith: The second line for the Knights will be matched up against the top line for the Blackhawks tonight in a very, very juicy matchup. Vegas has been playing well of late, putting up 4 goals per game over their last five.

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).

Vegas Golden Knights 3 – Chandler Stephenson/Will Carrier/Phil Kessel: This is a very nice pivot from Carolina 3 above, and should provide some nice upside as well. This line should see a lot of the second line for the Hawks tonight.

New Jersey Devils Power Play – Nico Hischier/Ondrej Palat/Jesper Bratt/Jack Hughes/Dougie Hamilton: This 11th ranked unit has a really nice matchup against the 28th ranked penalty kill for the Canadiens tonight.

Nashville Predators 3 – Colton Sissons/Tanner Jeannot/Yakov Trenin: This third line should match up against the second line for the Canucks in a very nice matchup.

NHL DFS Honorable Mentions: TOR1, CAR1, EDMPP, VAN1
