Today, we get afternoon NHL games. It’s President’s Day, so the main slate starts at 1pm Eastern on DraftKings, and 4pm Eastern on FanDuel today. We have six total games to sift through, and it is very important to keep an eye on news through the day. Let’s check out our DFS picks for DraftKings and FanDuel. Good luck!

Goalies

Sergei Bobrovsky – Florida Panthers: The Panthers host the Ducks today, who have been struggling all year long. On paper, this is a solid matchup for Bob and the Cats.

Jeremy Swayman – Boston Bruins: The B’s host the Senators tonight, who have been decent of late, but Swayman has been red hot. He is sporting a 0.65 GAA and 0.976 SV% over his last five games, which is an incredible stat line. He is probably due for some regression, but it is hard to see that happening today.

Tristan Jarry – Pittsburgh Penguins: The Pens’ matchup tonight looks decent, and they get Jarry back from injury. He should be in a good spot tonight.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Kevin Mandolese – Ottawa Senators: The Senators head to Boston today, and Mandolese’s numbers look pretty good, even though it’s a small sample. This is about as risky as it gets, though, as you have a green goalie going up against the best team in the league, and on the road. He should see some shot volume, and if he can stand tall, then this is a great upside play.

Others to Consider: Philipp Grubauer (SEA), 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).

Florida Panthers 1 – Aleksander Barkov/Matthew Tkachuk/Carter Verhaeghe/Aaron Ekblad: The Panthers have a very nice matchup against the Ducks today, who are terrible defensively. This top line should be able to take advantage of their poor defense in a top six matchup.

Pittsburgh Penguins 1 – Sidney Crosby/Jake Guentzel/Rickard Rakell/Kris Letang: The Pens get a nice matchup tonight against the Islanders, and this top line should see plenty of chances against the top Islander line.

Seattle Kraken 3 – Yanni Gourde/Oliver Bjorkstrand/Eeli Tolvanen: Let’s get BOLD! This third line has a very nice matchup against the opposing third line for the Sharks tonight. Both teams are giving up a bunch of chances, and this line has been absolutely scorching in the right matchup. This game should feature some scoring, and this line should be able to get on the board.

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).

Boston Bruins 3 – Charlie Coyle/Taylor Hall/Craig Smith: This line should spend a good bit of time against the top Ottawa line in a plus matchup. They make for a really interesting play today, and could be a very different way of getting access to Boston’s massive total. Of course, you don’t have to shy away from the top line or power play here.

Calgary Flames 2 – Nazem Kadri/Jonathan Huberdeau/Jakob Pelletier: This second line should be matched up with the second Philly line for the majority of the night, which is a very nice upside matchup.

New York Rangers 2 – Vincent Trocheck/Artemi Panarin/Jimmy Vesey: This second line should see a good bit of the top line for the Jets, who are giving up tons of chances in a small sample. This line should be able to take advantage of them tonight.

San Jose Sharks 1 – Tomas Hertl/Timo Meier/Kevin Labanc/Erik Karlsson: Keep an eye out to make sure that Meier plays tonight, because he is a huge part of this line. If he is out, then these guys are no longer a decent play.

Welcome back to the Friday Night WinDaily NHL Between the Benches Article! Teams are building up for the final stretch as we approach trade deadline day! Tonight, we will have a small 5-game slate, some great teams hitting the ice tonight! Tonight’s 2/17 NHL slate begins at 7:00 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Let’s get right into it!

2/17 NHL Stack Report

1. Los Angeles Kings 1 (Byfield-Kopitar-Kempe)

— It’s actually unreal to me how good the Kings have been as of late. They’ve won five of their last seven games, and their top line has been absolutely firing. Especially Adrian Kempe, who has a whopping eight goals and two assists over his last five games. He’s been putting up points at an unreal pace, and his linemates have been benefitting too as centreman Anze Kopitar has seven points and Byfield has three. Both Kempe and Kopitar are seeing around 18 to 19 minutes of ice time per game, with Byfield coming in around 14 to 15 minutes over his last five. It should come as no surprise that with this level of production, all three of the Kings’ top-line forwards appear together in the Kings’ top power-play unit. On top of that, the Kings are currently boasting one of the leagues best power plays at an over 25% conversion rate which is even more significant considering they’re facing off against one of their California rivals, the Anaheim Ducks, who are currently sporting one of the leagues worst power plays with a mere 74% penalty kill rate. The Ducks themselves have the worst defence in the league. They allow the most goals per game in the league and allow the most shots on goal, and it’s truly been an embarrassing season on both sides of the ice. On top of that, the Ducks have lost their last three games, and the last time these two teams faced off, both Kempe and Kopitar got on the score sheet. The odds have this one as a wash, with the Kings coming in at -275 favourites with an implied total of 4.2 goals, the joint highest of the slate. At this point, the only hope the Ducks have to succeed this season is winning the Draft Lottery at the end of the season, which long term, doesn’t look so bad…

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Drew Doughty

2. Ottawa Senators 1 (Tkachuk-Stutzle-Joseph)

— Today’s article features two teams who would rarely be the focal point of an article, but today’s slate is very different. Now, the Sens have not been a great team this season by any stretch. They’re outside a playoff spot, and it doesn’t seem like they’ll get into a playoff spot this season. However, tonight they’ll be facing off against the last-placed team in the league, the Chicago Blackhawks. Now, statistically, the Blackhawks are not as bad as the Ducks, which is part of the reason why the Kings are the top team in the article, but the Blackhawks are not much better, sitting near the bottom of the league in nearly every defensive stat and having abysmal defensive stats, scoring the least about of goals per game in the entire league and second last in shots on goal per game in the league. It has been so bad for the Blackhawks tonight that even a mediocre team like the Senators are coming into tonight’s matchup as -280 favourites. The Senators are also coming into this matchup with the joint highest (with the Kings) implied total of the slate of 4.2. Both of the top two lines for the Senators are playable, but the top line has been decisively better, with Stutzle scoring ten points, Tkachuk scoring seven points, and Joseph scoring four points over their last five games. Tkachuk and Stutzle also see time on the Sens’ top power-play unit. Statistically, the Kings and Sens are far and away the best options for tonight’s slate.


Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Thomas Chabot

Honorable Mention(s): Edmonton Oilers 1 (Nugent-Hopkins-McDavid-Hyman), Minnesota Wild 1 (Kaprizov-Hartman-Zuccarello)

Best (Goalies to Roster)

  2. Mads Sogaard
    Honorable Mention(s): Pheonix Copley

Worst (Goalies to Target)

1. Petr Mrazek
Honorable Mention(s): John Gibson

2/17 NHL Wild Card Targets

Mat Barzal
– It was hard to find someone who was a clear representation of a ‘Wild Card,’ but an interesting option which may go under-owned would be Mathew Barzal. Barzal has recorded seven points over his last six games and has seen lots of ice time, even getting up to well over 25 minutes of ice time against the Sens a few nights back. Pittsburgh is a good team, but their defence has really held them out of the top three in their division, as they are the third worst in the league for shots on goal allowed per game, and they average over three goals allowed per game. I can see Barzal performing well tonight and getting on the score sheet a few times against the struggling defence of the Penguins.

Honorable Mention(s): Kevin Fiala, Brock Nelson

It’s Super Bowl Monday! Now that the NFL season is officially over, we turn our full attention on the rest of the NHL season. Tonight, we have a nice little five game slate to get us started. Let’s check out our DFS picks for DraftKings and FanDuel. Good luck!

Goalies

Kevin Lankinen – Nashville Predators: The Predators host the Coyotes tonight, which should be a fairly safe matchup for Lankinen. There may not be too much upside here, as the Coyotes are not exactly a high caliber shooting team. However, he should be able to get the win tonight.

Pheonix Copley – Los Angeles Kings: Copley is a riskier play, but he should see some decent shot volume and could rack up a ton of saves. He has some solid numbers recently, and should be in a good spot tonight.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Mats Sogaard – Ottawa Senators: This pick is almost like a new pitcher pick – the opposing team hasn’t seen much on him and they don’t really know exactly what to expect. The Flames have been up and down all year, but they have been playing well of late, scoring 3 goals per game over their last five. This is a deep GPP play that could end up paying off if Ottawa can help their goalie out tonight.

Others to Consider: Sergei Bobrovsky (FLA)

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).

Nashville Predators 1 – Cody Glass/Matt Duchene/Nino Niederreiter/Roman Josi: The Preds’ top line is in a great spot against the third line for the Coyotes tonight. They should have plenty of chances to score tonight and could end up with a multi-point night.

Los Angeles Kings 2 – Phillip Danault/Trevor Moore/Viktor Arvidsson: The Kings’ second line has a great matchup against the top line for the Sabres tonight, so long as the Sabres roll out the same lines. The Sabres haven’t been that bad on defense, but the rates here make this line a little sneaky and there is a very solid goalie matchup for 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).

Los Angeles Kings 3 – Blake Lizotte/Alex Iafallo/Kevin Fiala: To get a little different, the Kings’ third line is also in play. They will be lower owned and provide some very good value tonight.

Calgary Flames 3 – Mikael Backlund/Andrew Mangiapane/Blake Coleman: The Flames’ third line has a solid matchup against the bottom six for the Senators tonight. On top of that, the Sens are rolling out a very green goalie in Sogaard.

Ottawa Senators 2 – Ridly Greig/Claude Giroux/Alex Debrincat: The Sens’ second line has a nice top six matchup in the same game and should see their chances tonight. Markstrom has been bad this year, and there could be some scoring in this game. However, Ottawa has been playing a little bit poorly recently, so they carry a bit of risk.

Vancouver Canucks 2 – J.T. Miller/Vasily Podkolzin/Conor Garland: The Canucks’ second line has been playing some solid hockey recently, and they get a good matchup against the Red Wings tonight on home ice. This line should see some of the second and third lines, but probably carry the most risk of this list.

Welcome back to the Friday Night WinDaily NHL Between the Benches Article! The all-star game is now behind us and we are now looking forward to the Trade deadline! We already saw some big moves take place and I have a feeling there is still a surprise or two left to come! Tonight, we will have a small 4-game slate, with lots of interesting matchups to look at! Tonight’s 2/10 NHL slate begins at 7:00 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Let’s get right into it!

2/10 NHL Stack Report

1. Toronto Maple Leafs 1 (Bunting-Tavares-Marner)

— Today is Day 1 of a home and away back-to-back vs the Columbus Blue Jackets and right off the bat. Aside from the obvious fact that the fourth placed team in the league is going up against the team in dead last, the most glaring difference between these two teams is the statistics. Offensively, Toronto is in the top 10 in goals per game while the Blue Jackets find themselves tied for 3rd last in the league in goals and on the power play, the Leafs are converting power plays into goals at a 25% clip which lands them 6th in the league and on the other the side, the Blue Jackets have a 16.4% power play conversion rate, landing them at 4th-worst team in the league on the power play. Defensively, it’s even worse, despite the Leafs goalie struggles it doesn’t hold a candle to how badly the Jackets have been performing on their own end of the ice. They allow an average of 35 shots on goal per game and give up an average of 3.86 goals per game. Even without Matthews, the Blue Jackets don’t have much of a chance in this matchup. Mitch Marner is a top target for me here, as with Matthews staying sidelined for tonight’s game Marner will see an increased role alongside his linemates Tavares and Bunting. Marner already leads the Leafs in points and has been hot as of late as he is currently on a four game point streak. All three of the Leafs top liners will see power play time against the Blue Jackets weak penalty kill and I think there will be a lot of goals to go around for the Leafs top scorers tonight. Despite the odd vintage performance from Gaudreau or Laine, the Jackets are consistently disappointing. The Leafs on the other hand, have been consistently scoring lots of goals and have seen success on both sides of the ice. With an implied total of 4.1 goals in comparison to the Blue Jackets 2.6 goals, I would highly recommend having exposure to the Leafs top line in tonight’s matchup.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Morgan Rielly

2. Arizona Coyotes 1 (Keller-Hayton-Schmaltz)

— Usually, I wouldn’t give many players on the Coyotes a second look but against the Blackhawks tonight, they are actually coming in as the favourites. As divisional rivals, the Coyotes sit just ahead of the Blackhawks in the standings and offensively sit just above them as well. Arizona’s Nick Schmaltz has really been putting things together as of late. Over his last five games he has four goals and three assists and regularly sees over 20 minutes of ice time per game. Along with his linemates, Schmaltz also appears on the Coyotes’ top power play unit which is coming up against the 24th ranked penalty kill in the league. Arizona’s top line is a cheap play which allows you to squeeze in some of the higher end player while still picking a team that is favoured to win and picking a line that will see a good deal of ice-time tonight.


Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Jakob Chychrun

Honorable Mention(s): Pittsburgh Penguins 1 (Rakell-Crosby-Guentzel), New York Rangers 1 (Panarin-Zibanejad-Tarasenko)

2/10 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

  1. Ilya Samsonov
  2. Karel Vejmelka
    Honorable Mention(s): Igor Shesterkin, Tristan Jarry, DEEP GPP: Jaxson Stauber

Worst (Goalies to Target)

1. Joonas Korpisalo
Honorable Mention(s): Philipp Grubauer

2/10 NHL Wild Card Targets

Frank Vatrano
– I know that in the Pittsburgh v Anaheim matchup tonight most people would lean towards the Pens but it’s hard to ignore the success that Vatrano has had recently on the Ducks second line. Over his last five games, Vatrano has registered 5 goals and 2 assists and averaged around 16 minutes of ice time per game. Vatrano does see time on the second power play unit but has done most of his damage on even strength. With the Pens allowing over 3 goals per game and over 34 shots against per game, I think Vatrano can definitely get on the score sheet tonight and is worth a look.

Welcome back from the All Star break! The NHL action ramps right back up tonight with a nice six game slate. Now that the All Star break is behind us, we start to focus on the last portion of the year, where things will really start to heat up as teams jockey for playoff positioning. It’s about to get fun! Let’s check out our DFS picks for DraftKings and FanDuel. Good luck!

Goalies

Jake Oettinger – Dallas Stars: The Stars take on the Ducks on home ice tonight in what should be a fairly easy matchup for Otter.

Vitek Vanecek – New Jersey Devils: The Devils play host to the Vancouver Canucks, who just made a big trade, losing Bo Horvat to the Islanders. This is a good spot for Vanecek and the Devils tonight.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Carter Hart – Philadelphia Flyers: Hart has been shaky for the Flyers of late, so this one definitely comes with a bit of risk. However, this game should be a little bit lethargic, with some of the lower scoring on the night. If Hart can put in a solid performance, he has some pretty good upside potential.

Others to Consider: Marc-Andre Fleury (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).

Dallas Stars Power Play – Roope Hintz/Jamie Benn/Joe Pavelski/Jason Robertson/Miro Heiskanen: The Stars’ 4th ranked power play takes on the Ducks’ 30th ranked penalty kill tonight in what should be a lopsided matchup. The Ducks are 7th in times short handed per game, so there should be ample opportunity for this unit to do some damage tonight.

Minnesota Wild Power Play – Joel Eriksson Ek/Matt Boldy/Mats Zuccarello/Kirill Kaprizov/Calen Addison: This is a very similar setup as the Stars tonight, as the Wild are ranked 9th on the power play, and the Coyotes are ranked 26th on the penalty kill. Arizona is second in the league in times short handed per game, so this unit should see a bunch of chances as well.

Tampa Bay Lightning Power Play – Brayden Point/Brandon Hagel/Steven Stamkos/Nikita Kucherov/Victor Hedman: This matchup is surprisingly good for the Lightning tonight, making it tough to choose between the top three plays tonight. The Panthers take a lot of penalties, ranked first in the league in times short handed per game. This Lightning team has the third best power play, while the Panthers have the 25th ranked penalty kill.

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 – Vincent Trocheck/Chris Kreider/Barclay Goodrow: This line is in a good spot tonight against the first and third lines for the Flames. There is also a good goalie matchup here, as Markstrom has been pretty rough for the Flames all year long.

Florida Panthers 2 – Sam Bennett/Matthew Tkachuk/Carter Verhaeghe: There should be some scoring in the all-Florida game tonight, and this is the better line of the bunch for FLA.

New Jersey Devils 3 – Erik Haula/Dawson Mercer/Tomas Tatar: This third line should provide a good bit of value tonight, and they have a very good chance against the depth lines of Vancouver.

NHL DFS Honorable Mentions: CGY1, VAN1, NJD1, PHI3, NYI1

Value Options – DraftKings

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