NHL DFS Man Advantage for DraftKings and FanDuel (Jan. 16)

allenjesse24@yahoo.com
written by allenjesse24@yahoo.com

Today’s Monday holiday brings us a split slate for the whole day. At 1pm Eastern, a slate of five games kicks off, while the main slate brings us a nice six game slate, starting at 6pm Eastern*. Main slate looks like a good one, so we will dive right in. Let’s check out our DFS picks for DraftKings and FanDuel. Good luck!

*This article will be focused only on the main slate at 6pm (7pm on FanDuel). Check out Discord for notes for the early slate!

Goalies

Juuse Saros – Nashville Predators: The Predators host the Flames tonight in what should be a fairly tight game. Saros has some very good looking numbers this season and has some upside in this matchup.

Logan Thompson – Vegas Golden Knights: The Knights host Dallas tonight, and Dallas on the road is just not very good. This should be a good spot for the Knights’ goalie, and he should see a decent number of shots.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Elvis Merzlikins – Columbus Blue Jackets: The Jackets host the Rangers tonight, who have been allergic to scoring recently, at least at even strength. On top of that, they are on the second leg of a back-to-back, and had to travel last night. All of that sets up nicely for Elvis, and his numbers over his last five are surprisingly decent. It is still the Rangers, and we know they can blow up at any time, of course.

Others to Consider: 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).

Pittsburgh Penguins 1 – Sidney Crosby/Jake Guentzel/Bryan Rust/Ty Smith: The Penguins’ offense has gone rather stagnant lately, but this is a fantastic get-right spot for them. They will be hosting the Ducks tonight, and this line should see the depth lines for Anaheim. The Ducks are giving up a whopping 4 goals against per game over their last five, and as a team, over 40 scoring chances and 19 high danger chances. The Pens should be able to capitalize early and often. Consider a power play look also.

Ottawa Senators 1 – Tim Stutzle/Brady Tkachuk/Drake Batherson/Thomas Chabot: The Sens have a great matchup tonight, as they head to St. Louis to face the Blues. This line should see a lot of the top line for STL, setting up a very, very nice 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).

Nashville Predators 1 – Juuso Parssinen/Matt Duchene/Filip Forsberg/Roman Josi: This is an “eye test” line, where the numbers don’t look amazing, but they are in a small sample. This is more of a gut feel, so this line comes with some risk. The Predators don’t really do much matching, so this line should see a little bit of everyone, and has a nice goalie matchup.

Columbus Blue Jackets 1 – Jack Roslovic/Patrik Laine/Johnny Gaudreau: This top line for the Jackets is in a decent spot tonight, and if Halak ends up regressing back to his normal self, then this becomes even better.

St. Louis Blues 2 – Brayden Schenn/Ivan Barbashev/Brandon Saad: This second line is in a good spot tonight against the depth for Ottawa, and they get a really good goalie matchup, making this line a very interesting value play.

NHL DFS Between the Benches for DraftKings and FanDuel (Jan. 13)

Allan Fabrykant
written by Allan Fabrykant

Welcome back to the Friday Night WinDaily NHL Between the Benches Article! We’ve had a crazy week of games as we head closer to the all-star game! Tonight, we have a small-sized 3-game slate, but every game is packed with action! Tonight’s 1/13 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!

1/13 NHL Stack Report

1. New Jersey Devils 2 (Tatar-Hughes-Haula)

— The Devils have surprised many people this season, including me. From their red-hot start to the season and now their continued success down the stretch, they have rebuilt themselves into a competitive playoff team, and tonight, they’re up against the third-last-placed team in the league (or the Bronze Medal in the Bedard Bowl) in the Anaheim Ducks. This is a pretty big mismatch; the odds are at -320 in favour of the Devils, the Devils implied total is over four goals, and the Ducks are at a measly 2.5 implied goals. Statistically, this shouldn’t even be close. The Ducks rank 2nd last in goals per game and dead last in power play %, shooting %, goals allowed per game and SOG allowed per game. On top of that, they take nearly 12 penalty minutes a game and have the third-worst penalty-kill rate in the league at 71%. With the Devils at 3.44 goals and 34.6 shots a game on average I don’t see a way that Anaheim doesn’t get completely blown out here. The Devils are also very defensively disciplined, only allowing 27.3 shots per game and holding a stellar goals-against average of 2.63. This line, in particular, does some real damage. Headed by the Devils’ team leader in points, Jack Hughes, who has 10 points over his last six games and combined this line has put together 20 points over their last six. All three forwards on the second line see power play time as well, with Hughes and Tatar on the top unit and Haula on the second unit. I’ve really been impressed with the Devils this season, and I think this game should not be a challenge for them.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Dougie Hamilton (Damon Severson works as a salary saver)

2. Edmonton Oilers 2 (Hyman-Draisaitl-McLeod)

— Usually, my recommended play from the Oilers is to play McDavid and anyone around him, but with the most recent line shuffle, I am actually favouring the second line a little more. (Although, I would still recommend playing McDavid if you want him in your line with his value wingers) This line has been very consistent over the past few games. Hyman and Draisaitl alone have 11 points over their last five games. They both also saw over 20 minutes of ice time on average over those five games, including time on the top power-play unit; McLeod also sees power-play time on the Oilers’ second unit. The Sharks haven’t been that great defensively this season as they sit near the bottom of the league in goals against this season with a goals-against average of 3.65, putting them at 27th in the league. It should come as no surprise that the Oilers are coming into this matchup with an implied total of 3.7 goals, and I would expect the second line to play a part in some of those goals tonight.


Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Darnell Nurse

Honorable Mention(s): San Jose Sharks 1 (Meier-Hertl-Labanc), Edmonton Oilers 1 (Holloway-McDavid-Yamamoto)

1/13 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

  1. Vitek Vanecek
  2. Casey DeSmith
    Honorable Mention(s): James Reimer

Worst (Goalies to Target)

1. John Gibson
Honorable Mention(s): David Rittich

1/13 NHL Wild Card Targets

Dawson Mercer
– Despite the fact that he is on the third line and not on the Devils’ power play, Mercer has been racking up a respectable amount of points as of late. He is currently tied for fifth on the Devils in points, including four points over his last two games (2 goals and 1 assist last game). He is also steadily seeing an increase in ice time, and I expect that he will see over 16 minutes in this game. Coupled with the fact that the Ducks have shockingly bad defensive stats (as mentioned earlier) and hold a big odds disadvantage against the Devils, it shouldn’t come as a surprise if Mercer ends up on the score sheet tonight.
Honorable Mention(s): Jason Zucker, Ty Smith, Logan Couture

Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)

Center – Jack Hughes

Winger – Zach Hyman

Defenseman – Darnell Nurse

Goalie – Vitek Vanecek

NHL DFS Man Advantage for DraftKings and FanDuel (Jan. 9)

allenjesse24@yahoo.com
written by allenjesse24@yahoo.com

Welcome back for another Monday Man Advantage! We have a nice little four game slate tonight that should feature a lot of scoring. There will be a few different ways to attack this slate. Let’s get into our NHL DFS picks for DraftKings and FanDuel. Good luck!

Goalies

Craig Anderson – Buffalo Sabres: Of the goalies on the slate, this one feels like the ‘safest’, as the Flyers bring a bad team to Buffalo on the tail end of a back-to-back. Anderson should be good for the win, but may have a limited ceiling.

Pheonix Copley – Los Angeles Kings: A goalie against the Oilers? Yeah, we are going to go there tonight. The Kings host the Oilers tonight, which means that there should be plenty of upside opportunity for Copley, who has some fantastic numbers. Expect him to give up a couple, but there is a good chance for a save bonus tonight (and maybe even a W).

High Risk Goalie Pick – Samuel Ersson – Philadelphia Flyers: The Flyers head to Buffalo tonight to face the Sabres. Ersson has some very solid numbers, and the shot volume should be pretty high tonight. This is one where he is unlikely to get the win, but should be in line for the DK save bonus. Hopefully, he doesn’t give up 8.

Others to Consider: Stuart Skinner (EDM), Juuse Saros (NSH)

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: Wow, the Sabres are in a fantastic spot tonight. The Flyers are coming into Buffalo after getting destroyed by Toronto last night. This top line has a great, great matchup against the second/third lines for the Flyers. Feel free to add Cozens to this group as a power play look.

Los Angeles Kings 1 – Anze Kopitar/Adrian Kempe/Quinton Byfield/Drew Doughty: This Kings line is in a very interesting spot tonight against the second Edmonton line. They should see quite a few chances, and could be a surprise on the night. Also, consider adding in Fiala and Vilardi and taking out Byfield to create a power play look. The Oilers are 23rd on the penalty kill and take the 5th most penalties in the league.

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 3 – Jake Evans/Evgenii Dadonov/Joel Armia: In their last game at home, this third line matched the top opposing line. If they go back to that tonight, then this line is set up to be one of the best values on the board. They are extremely cheap and will have a ton of upside. There is a lot of risk in this play, especially if Montreal changes their matching schemes, but this is a great contrarian play if they stick with it.

Nashville Predators 1 – Juuso Parssinen/Colton Sissons/Filip Forsberg/Roman Josi: This Nashville line has a good chance tonight against the Senators. This play is mostly about the goalie matchup, as they get to face Talbot, who has some terrible numbers recently. This game feels very much like a coin flip, so Ottawa 1 could be listed here just as well. MME players should have both sides of this game.

Seattle Kraken Power Play – Matty Beniers/Daniel Sprong/Jordan Eberle/Andre Burakovsky/Justin Schultz: The Kraken are a hard team to play, since their scoring pretty much comes from everywhere. However, it is hard to ignore them tonight against a Montreal team that is just bad on defense. The Canadiens are 4th in times shorthanded per game at 3.6, so this unit should see some chances tonight.

Philadelphia Flyers 2 – Noah Cates/Travis Konecny/Joel Farabee: As much as the top line for the Sabres is good on offense, it lacks on defense. That sets this second Philly line up as an interesting value/contrarian play.

NHL DFS Between the Benches for DraftKings and FanDuel (Jan. 6)

Allan Fabrykant
written by Allan Fabrykant

Welcome back to the Friday Night WinDaily NHL Between the Benches Article for our first Friday article of the year! After last night’s pandemonium at the World Juniors Finals, we are locked and loaded with NHL content for tonight’s slate! Tonight, we have a medium-sized 6-game slate, and there will be lots to enjoy this evening! Tonight’s 1/6 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!

1/6 NHL Stack Report

1. Florida Panthers 1 (Tkachuk-Barkov-Verhaeghe)

— The Panthers have been bad this season, after all the big moves they made, they simply have not performed well and it has been in large part due to their poor defensive abilities rather than their offensive ones. In fact they are first place in the league in shots on goal per game and in the top half of the league in goals per game but sit 23rd in goals allowed and 19th in shots on goal allowed per game. This stark contrast on top of the inconsistency from starting goalie Sergei Bobrovsky has led to the Panthers poor position in the standings. Thankfully for them, today they have an opportunity to put their season back on the right track against a Red Wings team who has had their own bouts of inconsistency. Florida’s top line in particular has been incredibly deadly and dependable as of late as between the three, they have nine goals and seven assists over their last four games. On top of that, all three members of the top line see over 16 minutes a game on average and they all see power play time with Tkachuk and Barkov on the top line and Verhaeghe on the second power play unit. The Red Wings are also set to start Ville Husso who has been beyond bad as of late as he has allowed over four goals in each of his last five starts and as such it should come as no surprise that the Panthers have one of the highest implied totals of the slate at 3.6 goals. This game could still end up being a close one but you can rely on the Panthers top line to put some points on the board tonight.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Brandon Montour

2. Arizona Coyotes 3 (Ritchie-Hayton-Fischer)

— This is literally the Connor Bedard Bowl as both teams are in the bottom 5 of the entire league with the Blackhawks in dead last, having lost their last five games. For what it’s worth the Coyotes haven’t done much better, dropping their last 3 games including a 6-2 thumping against the Philadelphia Flyers. Interestingly enough, one Coyotes line has consistently been able to get points despite everything going up in Flames around them, its Arizona’s third line. Specifically, Barrett Hayton and Nick Ritchie who between them have nine points over their last four games. Tonight in particular, they are up against the worst team in the league, offensively, defensively and everywhere in between the Hawks have been awful this season. Even against the Coyotes, it doesn’t look like it will get much better for them tonight as the Hawks are most likely starting Petr Mrazek in goal who has had one of the worst seasons of his entire career, including last season where he spent most of the year injured. This season he is 2-10-1 with a 4.19 goals against average and a .878 save percentage. There’s really no way to spin these numbers into a positive except for the fact that the Yotes have only put up slightly better numbers defensively. Which is why both teams are coming into this game with an implied total above three. Also, it is of note that both Ritchie and Hayton see well over 15 minutes of ice-time per game and Barrett Hayton also appears on the Yotes top power play unit.  There is always a bit of risk when dealing with two teams who have played so poorly and so inconsistently this season but this line has been performing well and the value on these two (Hayton and Ritchie) will help you fit the mammoth Panthers top line into your DFS lineups tonight.


Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Jakob Chychrun

Honorable Mention(s): San Jose Sharks 1 (Meier-Hertl-Labanc), Calgary Flames 1 (Dube-Lindholm-Toffoli)

1/6 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

  1. Charlie Lindgren
  2. Andrei Vasilevskiy
    Honorable Mention(s): Conor Ingram

Worst (Goalies to Target)

1. Petr Mrazek
Honorable Mention(s): Ville Husso

1/6 NHL Wild Card Targets

Connor Sheary
– Fresh off of a five game point streak, Conor Sheary has looked incredible towards the end of December and heading into January. His recent point streak included three multipoint games and a short handed goal. He now has 27 points on the season, and is coming up against a Nashville side that is not known for their defensive abilities as they allow over 3 goals on average per game and are the third worst team in the league for shots on goal allowed per game. Sheary also sees time on the Capitals top line alongside Ovechkin and Kuznetzov as well as the Capitals second power play unit. At over 16 minutes of ice time per game, I think Sheary is definitely worth the risk.
Honorable Mention(s): Alexander Barabanov, Brandon Hagel, Dylan Strome
