Welcome back to the last Friday Night WinDaily NHL Between the Benches Article of the year! Only two slates left til 2023, so we gotta get those takedowns just in time for New Year! Tonight, we have a small 3-game slate tonight, but there will still be lots to enjoy this evening! Tonight’s 12/30 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!

12/30 NHL Stack Report

1. Edmonton Oilers 1 (Hyman-McDavid-Puljajarvi)

— Unlike the last article, there really aren’t any crystal clear mismatches on tonight’s slate, but like last week’s article, Connor McDavid is, in fact, on the slate and this season, he has been a particularly dangerous offensive presence, and I don’t see the Kraken slowing him down. Especially when these two division rivals are literally neck and neck in the Pacific Division standings, with both teams sitting on 40 points with the Kraken holding three games in hand, putting them in the second Wild Card slot over the Oilers. We can definitely expect a lot of goals in this matchup as both teams hold high implied totals (the Oilers hold a 3.4 implied goal total to the Kraken’s 3.3), and the O/U is currently set at 6.5. Both projected starting goalies tonight have had shaky seasons, especially Jones, who, despite holding a positive 14-5-3 record, has a shocking 2.99 goals against average and a save percentage below .900. The Kraken have also not been able to keep up with their form at the beginning of the season as they have dropped four of their last six games. Back to McDavid for a minute, he is the current leader in goals with a 10-goal cushion over the next highest goalscorer, his teammate Leon Draisaitl, and McDavid is currently tied for third in assists, only two behind the league leader Nikita Kucherov. It has been incredible to watch McDavid’s playmaking ability this season and his game-breaking speed that can change the course of a game. Regarding McDavid’s linemates, Hyman has also been electric this season with 37 goal contributions, while Puljajarvi has been less clinical in front of goal with only two goals and six assists this season. However, all three members of the Oilers’ top line see Power Play time, with McDavid and Hyman on the first unit and Puljajarvi on the second unit. I would recommend pairing McDavid with either Hyman or Barrie for tonight’s NHL Slate.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Tyson Barrie

2. Pittsburgh Penguins 2 (Zucker-Malkin-Rust)

— I was hesitating between the Penguins’ first and second lines but honestly, the Penguins’ second line has really been in form as of late. For example, before a bit of a cool down, he registered a nine-game point streak and has registered three goals and ten assists over the month of December, giving him more than a point per game this month. Not to mention, both Zucker and Rust are coming off multi-point games against the Red Wings, and the Pens’ top line has just not been at that same level of consistency as we head into the New Year. Also of note is that all three members of the Pens’ second line see power-play time, with Malkin on the top unit and Rust and Zucker appearing on the second power-play unit. The Penguins are also favoured in tonight’s game against the Devils and hold a high implied total (3.4) against one of the better defensive teams in the league. The Penguins’ second line is definitely a strong option for a secondary line to support the Oilers’ top line.


Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Pierre-Oliver Joseph (Ty Smith is a good value option here too)

Honorable Mention(s): Carolina Hurricanes 1 (Svechnikov-Stastny-Necas), Florida Panthers 1 (Verhaeghe-Barkov-White)

Honorable Mention(s): N/A

12/30 NHL Wild Card Targets

Jordan Staal
– With an assist in his last game, his point streak currently sits at five games, and although at 34 years old, his best days of hockey are behind him, there is definitely some value while he is still producing points like this. I honestly don’t see him being an exciting player down the stretch this season, but on a small three-game slate without a ton of value options, I can get behind a guy like Jordan Staal. He has also been seeing a generous increase in ice time, getting up above 18 minutes twice during his 5-game point streak and on the top Penalty Kill for the Canes; there’s always the chance he gets a short-handed point as well!

Welcome to Wednesday’s edition of Between the Benches.   After an 11-game slate night, we have just a modest 5-game slate tonight of NHL DFS. At first glance, we have some pretty glaring mismatches on the board tonight that we’ll want to attack.

Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money.   

NHL DFS Goaltending

Andrei Vasilevskiy ($8.5K DK/$8.1k FD) vs. Montreal Canadiens – This is probably the biggest mismatch of the night as the Tampa Bay Lightning take on the lowly Montreal Canadiens. The Canadiens are coming into this tilt struggling, scoring just 1.83 goals per game over the last 2 weeks. Over that stretch, they’ve won just once in 6 games. They are a team night in and night out that we’ll want to consider a goalie against as they just aren’t a strong offense.

With Vasilevskiy, we have one of the more consistent goalies of the last decade. A goalie that normally averages a GAA of 2.6 or less and a save % north of .900. This season has been no different. After some early-season struggles, Vas has been playing much better over the last month. He has just one game under 17.9 DK points and multiple games over 20. He’s in line to have a solid night against a bad team. Feel comfortable rolling him out in both Cash and GPP’s, more so Cash though as his price is high. Should Brian Elliot get the nod tonight, he’s also in play.

John Gibson ($7.1k DK/$6.9 FD) vs. Vegas Golden Knights– This is going to be strictly for GPP’s. Gibson has a ton of upside tonight as he returns from an injury. The Ducks give up a ton of shots and the Golden Knights’ offense hasn’t exactly been on fire, scoring just 2 goals vs. LA last night.

Gibson is an extremely volatile goalie. We’ve seen him get upwards of 30 DK points on any given night, and as few as -8. Against a suspect offense like Vegas, I expect him to be well in the positive tonight. He’s also extremely inexpensive on both sites tonight, making him a solid GPP play.

NHL DFS Stacks

Tampa Bay 1 (Point, Hagel, Kucherov) + Hedman vs. Montreal

We’ll be attacking Montreal on both ends tonight as their defense has been nearly as bad as their offense. Over their last 6 games, the Canadiens are giving up close to 15 high-danger chances per game and nearly 34 shots on goal. Against a solid Lightning team, that’s just not going to cut it and should cause them plenty of problems tonight.

While the second line is also in play for Tampa, I’m focused on their top line as it’s been one of the most productive lines in the NHL over the last 10 games. This line has combined for 9 goals over their last 10 games together, second most in the NHL over that stretch. The 2 I’m most focused on here will be Hagel and Kucherov. The 2 have combined for 13 points over the last 2 weeks. Hagel has been the goal scorer with 4 while Kucherover has been the assist machine with 5. Hagel does have back-to-back duds, but a date with Montreal should get him back into the scoring column. Same for Point if you want to go full stack.

Pittsburgh 1 (Crosby, Guentzel, Rakell) + Letang vs. Detroit

At some point this potent Penguins team will be dynamic again. Although they are on the tail end of a back-to-back I like the matchup for them tonight. The Red Wings are giving up goals in bunches. Over the last 2 weeks, the Red Wings have been giving up 4.5 goals per game. This is something that will hopefully help the Penguins snap out of the goals funk they are in.

We’ll target their top line tonight of Crosby, Guentzel, and Rakell. These three have shown a ton of upside at times this season. Even though the team as a whole has been quiet offensively since their winning streak ended, the trio have combined for 12 points over the last 2 weeks. They should be a force tonight against a Red Wings team that has struggled defensively at times this season.

Vegas 2 (Karlsson, Smith, Kessel) + McNabb vs. Anaheim

If you are fading Gibson tonight, stacking against him will make for a strong play. The Ducks give up a ton of goals and a ton of shots. That means upside for anyone playing against them. They also give up just a ton of high-danger chances. Over the last 2 weeks, they’ve given up close to 17 high-danger chances per game. That’s an insane rate.

I’m mostly interested in Karlsson and Smith here. Kessel is mostly fantasy irrelevant these days. Smith has been the majority of Vegas’s offense of late. Over the last 2 weeks, Smith has 5 goals and 2 assists. While Karlsson hasn’t been scoring any goals, he has been helping set them up. Over his last 6 games, he does have 5 assists.

The top line for Vegas of Stephenson, Stone, and Amadio is also very much in play.

Other Stacks: TB 1, Bos 1 and 2, NJ 2, Pit 2, Det 1, Sea 1, Cgy 1

NHL DFS Top Value Defenseman

  • Brayden Pachal- $2.5k on DK
  • Brandon Carlo – $2.6k on Dk
  • Erik Cernak – $2.9k on DK

Summary

We have a solid slate of games tonight. I’ll be going heavy on the Lightning and Pittsburgh tonight. If you’re willing to run some risk, make sure to Gibson into your lineups as your goalie.

Ahh, that magical week between Christmas and New Year’s! Time, calories, and money don’t matter, and it’s a great week to just sit back and relax! Hopefully you are all enjoying your holiday season so far. The NHL returns tonight from its holiday break with a massive 11 game slate. It was originally 12, but the Columbus game has been postponed due to weather. With that being said, let’s dive into it and check out our DFS picks for DraftKings and FanDuel. Good luck!

Goalies

Pyotr Kochetkov – Carolina Hurricanes: Kochetkov is in a good spot again tonight as the Canes host the Blackhawks. There isn’t much to say about this matchup, as the Hawks are struggling a ton right now, and Kochetkov is a solid goaltender so far this season.

Connor Hellebuyck – Winnipeg Jets: The Jets host the Wild tonight, and this looks like a nice upside spot for Hellebuyck, who has quietly been one of the better goalies this season.

Pheonix Copley – Los Angeles Kings: The Kings host Vegas tonight, and Vegas is pretty banged up. Copley has been playing well this season and has a good matchup tonight against the Knights.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Jacob Markstrom – Calgary Flames: This one is a really tough pill to swallow, but there is some value in playing Markstrom against the Oilers tonight. He was struggling going into the break, but the hope here is that the break did him well. Coming back rested might help him in a game where he should see a ton of shot volume. He should be in line for a save bonus, but he could also let in 5.

Others to Consider: Karel Vejmelka (ARI), Jake Oettinger (DAL), Darcy Kuemper (WAS), 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).

Carolina Hurricanes 1 – Paul Stastny/Andrei Svechnikov/Martin Necas/Brent Burns: There’s no two ways about it, the Hurricanes are in about the best spot you can be in against the Blackhawks tonight. The Hawks have been terrible defensively, and this line should see mostly the Toews line tonight, which is a good matchup.

Toronto Maple Leafs 1 – Auston Matthews/Michael Bunting/William Nylander: The Leafs’ top line has a very, very nice matchup tonight against the Blues and the O’Reilly line. The Blues have the worst HDCA/60 in their last five games on the entire slate, and the Leafs have the best HDCF/60. There should be a ton of chances for this line tonight, and they should be one of the top plays of the evening.

San Jose Sharks 1 – Tomas Hertl/Kevin Labanc/Timo Meier/Erik Karlsson: Under the assumption that they put this line back together with Hertl back in the mix, the Sharks’ top line has a prime opportunity tonight. They see the Canucks, who are very leaky defensively. This line has a fantastic opportunity 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).

Calgary Flames 3 – Mikael Backlund/Blake Coleman/Andrew Mangiapane: Last game out, this line matched the opposing top line for the Blues. If they follow that same matching scheme tonight, they will be up against the McDavid line in a very, very good matchup. It’s a small sample size, but the McDavid line is giving up 33.67 SCA/60 and 21.64 HDCA/60, setting this line up to be a potentially sneaky play.

Pittsburgh Penguins 2 – Evgeni Malkin/Jason Zucker/Bryan Rust: The second line for the Pens is in a very nice looking spot tonight against the Islanders, who bleed chances.

Carolina Hurricanes 3 – Jordan Staal/Jesper Fast/Jordan Martinook: This line absolutely exploded the other night, and they have a very good chance of doing that again tonight. They should match the Domi line for the Hawks tonight in a very, very juicy matchup.

Vancouver Canucks 3 – Elias Pettersson/Lane Pederson/Andrei Kuzmenko: This line doesn’t feel like a true third line, but the opportunity tonight is very good for them. Reimer for the Sharks has been struggling, so there should be plenty of chances for this game to go pretty high scoring.

Welcome back to another Friday Night WinDaily NHL Between the Benches Article! Only a few slates left til 2023, and tonight we have a large 11-game slate tonight so there will be lots to enjoy this evening! Tonight’s 12/23 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!

12/23 NHL Stack Report

1. Edmonton Oilers 1 (Hyman-McDavid-Puljajarvi)

— We’re starting off today’s article with the far and away best matchup on the slate as the league’s 3rd best offence goes up against the league’s 3rd worst defence. Statistically, this translates into a 3.65 goals-per-game average for the Oilers, while their divisional rival, the Canucks, cough up an average of 3.9 goals a game. Heading into Rogers place tonight, the Oilers hold the biggest implied total on today’s massive slate and are facing a team on the second half of a back-to-back who had a thrilling 6-5 game which ended in a shootout. In fact, the Canucks, in general, have been seeing a lot of extra ice time lately as their last six wins have either come by way of shootout or overtime, that fatigue will add up over time and I think it’ll have a part to play in tonight’s matchup against Connor McDavid (league leader in both goals and assists) and the Edmonton Oilers. Another Major target point in this matchup is power plays. The Oilers have the best power play in the league, their conversion rate is over 33%, and the Canucks Penalty Kill rate is the worst in the league at 67%, on top of that, the Canucks are also near the worst in the league in penalties drawn per game at 11, so the Oilers should have plenty of opportunities to capitalize on their league-leading power play, which all three of the top line play on as McDavid and Hyman appear on the top power-play unit and Puljajarvi appears on the Oilers second power-play unit. Overall, I’d say this is a clear mismatch, and I would urge everyone to take a piece of the Oilers for their DFS lines tonight.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Tyson Barrie

2. Dallas Stars 1 (Robertson-Hintz-Pavelski)

— My second favourite line of the slate are the Dallas Stars, who also hold one of the highest implied totals of the slate at 4 implied goals coming in tonight at home against the Montreal Canadiens. Offensively, this matchup is a bit of a joke, the Stars are near the top of the league in most offensive stat categories, including goals per game (3.56) and shooting percentage (11.2), while the Canadiens are near the bottom of the league with a mere 2.7 goals per game average and a league’s worst 13.6% power play conversion rate. Defensively, things don’t get much better for the Canadiens, as the Stars are putting up modest defensive numbers this season, the Canadiens are giving up an average of 3.45 goals against per game and registering nearly 12 penalty minutes a game. All three of Dallas’ first line also appear on Dallas’ top power-play unit. Furthermore, Dallas’ top line in particular has been rolling as of late with 8 points over their last three games including three in their last game against the Edmonton Oilers last Wednesday. Robertson, in particular, will be a top player to watch in tonight’s game as he is just five goals shy of the league leader, Connor McDavid. Although, not as crucial as having a share of the Oilers’ top line tonight, I would definitely recommend including some shares of Dallas’ top line for your DFS Builds tonight.


Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Miro Heiskanen

1. Jonathan Quick
Honorable Mention(s): Samuel Ersson

12/23 NHL Wild Card Targets

Michael Amadio
– Even though he has not recorded a lot of points this season, he has been on a bit of a roll with points in his last two games as he has taken a role on the Golden Knights’ top line alongside Chandler Stephenson and Mark Stone as such he is seeing a spike in ice time and has been effective with it as last game, he put 5 shots on target while recording just shy of 16 minutes of ice-time. Tonight, the conference-leading Golden Knights are facing off against a middle-of-the-pack Blues team who have suffered from some shaky goaltending from starter Jordan Binnington who has given up an average of over 3 goals a game.
Honorable Mention(s): Erik Gustafsson, Dillon Dube, Mason Marchment

Welcome to Wednesday’s edition of Between the Benches.   We have a pretty nice-sized 7-game slate of NHL DFS tonight. On the outside looking in, it’s a tricky slate to navigate through but there are also some fun spots to target.

Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money.   

NHL DFS Goaltending

Alexander Georgiev ($8.4K DK/$7.5k FD) vs. Montreal Canadiens – The Colorado Avalanche are one of the heavier favorites on the board tonight. While their offense is lacking right now, their goaltending has not been. The off-season acquisition of Georgiev has proven to be a good one for the Avalanche. Finally able to get some meaningful playing time, Georgiev has been really good this season. Through 21 games, the Avalanche netminder has 13 wins to go with a 2.46 GAA and a .923 save %.

He’s been great for them and that should continue tonight in a matchup vs. the Canadiens. Over the last 2 weeks, the Canadiens are just 2-4 and have scored just 1.83 goals per game. The only concern here is going to be the lack of shot volume as the Avalanche don’t give up a lot of shots and the Canadiens don’t take many. That said, this has shutout written all over it. I’d reserve Georgiev more for cash games tonight.

Karel Vejmelka ($7k DK/$8.5k FD) vs. Vegas Golden Knights– This is far from a safe pick. Nothing about playing a Coyotes goaltender will ever give me the warm and fuzzies. That said, there aren’t many goaltenders on the slate that have the type of upside that Vejmelka has. Vejmelka hasn’t given up less than 3 goals in a game since Nov 23, a stretch of 9 games. He’s had double-digit DK in 6 of those contests.

The Coyotes give up a ton of shots and that’s why he’s able to still be productive even though he has a GAA over 3 this season. This Vegas offense is not as scary as they’ve been in years past, especially with Eichel on the shelf. If you’re playing GPP’s tonight, Vejmelka is your guy. He will be mine.

NHL DFS Stacks

Minnesota 1 (Steele, Kaprizov, Zuccarello) + Spurgeon vs. Anaheim

I suspect this top line for Minnesota will be extremely chalky tonight. Not only have they been playing lights out, but they get just a monster matchup vs. the Ducks tonight. The Ducks have been bad, giving up over 4 goals per game over the last 2 weeks. They’re also coming off a beating to the Kings last night, losing to them 4-1.

The duo of Kaprizov and Zuccarello have been amazing of late. Over the last 2 weeks, Zuccarello has been both scoring goals and assisting on them. In his last 7 games, he has 6 goals and 6 assists. Because of that, his price is starting to creep up as it’s at $7.9k on DK tonight. Kaprizov has also been really good, with 3 goals and 7 assists in his last 7 games. These 2 should be highly owned tonight, but also extremely productive. They’re going to be a tough fade and not something I’d recommend doing. Adding in Steele will help bring down the average cost of the stack as he’s only $4.1k on DK tonight. I’d go full stack here.

Nahsville 1 (Novak, Forsberg, Granlund) + Josi vs. Chicago

This is going to be a case of which wins outs, bad offense or bad defense. My thoughts are that bad offense will win out here. The Blackhawks have been attrocious. I don’t think there’s anyway to sugarcoat it. They’ve lost 7 in a row and have given up 5 goals per game over their last 5. They are a trainwreck and we’ll want to attack them, even it’s with the Predators.

My lean here is their top line. Flip Forsberg is by far their most talented forward. Although he has just 1 goal in his last 7 games, he does have an iXG pretty close to 3. There’s more in the tank and it should come out today vs. a bad defensive team. I’ll prioritize pairing him with Roman Josi tonight. Josi is the safest play on this team and acts more like a forward than a defenseman. Over his last 7 games, Josi is averaging more than 7 shots + blocks. If you only play one Predator tonight, play Josi. You’ll be rewarded.

Tampa Bay 1 (Point, Hagel, Kucherov) + Hedman vs. Detroit

Tampa was a pretty big disappointment lats night, scoring just 1 goal vs. Toronto last night. Toinght, they get a much easier matchup vs. the Red Wings. The Red Wings are struggling right now as they are 0-4-2 in their last 6 games, while giving up close to 4 goals per game. This is a return to riches matchup for the Lightning.

We’ll utilize the top line here. My favorite 2 here will be Brandon Hagel and Brayden Point. The 2 of them have been the goal scores, as each have 5 goals over the last 2 weeks. I also do love Kucherov here, but he’s the most expensive and he’s really just been getting assists. They’re still great to get, but goals are what wins GPP’s.

Other Stacks: TB 1, FL 1, NJ 2, Col 1, Dal 1, Edm 1, Vgs 1 and 2,

NHL DFS Top Value Defenseman

  • Ryan Suter – $2.9k on DK
  • Dante Fabbro- $2.8k on Dk
  • Erik Cernak – $3.1k on DK

Summary

We have a really solid slate of games tonight. I’ll be going heavy on the Wild tonight, even though they’ll be extremely popular. Let’s crush it team!

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

Value Options – DraftKings

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

Center: William Karlsson ($4300) – Vegas Golden Knights

Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot.  Tonight, we have a 10-game slate of NHL DFS to navigate through. At first glance, this is shaping up to be an entertaining slate that is loaded with options. We have a bunch of strong offenses in great spots. Expect a high-scoring slate.

Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money.   

NHL DFS Goaltending

Igor Shesterkin ($8.2K DK/$7.9k FD) vs. Philadelphia – With the recent play of both of these teams, this appears to be a lopsided affair. The Flyers are coming into this one 2-3-2 in their last 7, while the Rangers are coming in 5-1 over their last 6. The Rangers are finally playing the style of hockey everyone expected them to play this year.

Shesterkin has returned to his Vezina-winning form. He’s won 5-straight games and has allowed just 1 goal in 3 of those games. One of those games was against the potent Maple Leafs offense, a game that saw Marner’s point streak go by the wayside. Even on the road, the Rangers are heavy favorites in this one. A shutout against a poor Flyers offense is not out of the question tonight.

Connor Hellebuyck ($7.6k DK/$8.4k FD) vs. Vancouver Canucks – Connor Hellebuyck is quietly having the best year of his career. So far in 2022/2023, Hellebuyck has a career-low GAA of 2.39 and a career-high save percentage of .927. After a rough stretch of games that saw him give up a combined 9 goals to the Golden Knights and Capitals, Hellebuyck return to form against the Predators, giving up just 1 goal on 26 shots.

While the Canucks have been a solid team of late, this is a matchup that Hellebuyck should do well in. The Jets are 5-2 in their last 7 and should be able to add another win to the win column tonight. I’ll be using Hellebuyck in my GPP lineups tonight.

NHL DFS Stacks

Buffalo 1 (Thompson, Mittelstadt, Tuch) + Dahlin vs. Arizona

There are juicy matchups, then there’s this matchup. The dynamic offense of the Buffalo Sabres get to take on the defensively challenged Arizona Coyotes tonight. The Coyotes are on the back end of a back-to-back stretch after defeating the Islanders 5-4 last night. Even though they won last night, I’m focused on the 4 goals they gave up to a far-inferior offense in the Islanders. The Coyotes are giving up 4 goals per game over the last 2 weeks, putting the Sabres in a great spot to smash tonight.

I expect them to be popular tonight because of the matchup, but it’s just going to be too hard to pass up on one of the bright young stars in the NHL. Tage Thompson will be my core here as he has 8 goals over his last 5 games and 12 points. He’s been great and that should continue tonight. He’s pricey, but his linemate Casey Mittelstadt should help us stomach the cost. Mittlestadt has been playing well, with 4 assists in his last 5 games. Alex Tuch is also very much in play, as is Dahlin. Dahlin has been phenomenal this season.

Tampa Bay 1 (Point, Hagel, Kucherov) + Hedman vs. Montreal

Another team in an absolute smash spot tonight will be the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning head to Montreal tonight to face off against a Canadiens team giving up over 3.8 goals per game over the last 2 weeks. They’ll more than likely face Jake Allen tonight, a goalie notorious for giving up lots and lots of goals.

They’re expensive, but there may not be a hotter line in the game right now than the top line for Tampa. We’ll start with Point. Over his last 5 games, Point has 6 goals and an assist. For the type of production we should get here, a $6.8k salary on DK tonight seems fairly reasonable. Although he hasn’t been finding the net, Kucherov has been more than happy to help his friends do so. Over his last 5 games, Kucherov has 9 assists. $8.2k is a lot to pay though for someone that hasn’t been scoring goals. Knowing that I’ll be more than happy to pair Point with Hagel tonight. Hagel is just $5.1k on DK and has 6 points over his last 5.

Rangers 2 (Chytil, Kakko, Lafrenière) + Miller vs. Philly

Gerard Gallant has finally put the kids line back together and I’m all for it! This line has immense upside, especially in this matchup vs. a bad Flyers team. While they’ve only given up 3 goals per game over the last 2 weeks, we’ve seen this Flyers team have stretches where they’ve given up a ton of goals. That’s what I’m focused on here.

This second line for the Rangers is pretty high-risk. They can net us close to 0 tonight if they come out flat. That said, they also have a ton of upside and are extremely cheap. All 3 guys are under $4k on DK. After paying up for the top lines of the Sabres and Lightning, we need to save some money and this line will do it for us. My lean with this line if I could only pick 2 would be Chytil and Kakko. Both guys have goal upside.

Other Stacks: NYR 1, Tampa 2, Tor 1 and 2, Was 1, NJ 1 and 2, Buf 2, SJ 1, LAK 1

NHL DFS Top Value Defenseman

  • Scott Harrington – $2.8k on DK
  • Alexander Edler- $2.7k on Dk
  • Conor Timmins– $2.5k on DK
  • K’Andre Miller – $3k on DK

Summary

Tonight should be a fun night of NHL DFS. Teams like Buffalo, Tampa, and Rangers should have their way in terms of scoring. There are a plethora of options though tonight. While these 3 lines are my favorite to build around, my other stacks should do extremely well also.

Welcome back to another Friday Night WinDaily NHL Between the Benches Article! Only a small three-gamer slate tonight but there will be lots to enjoy this evening! Tonight’s 12/16 NHL slate begins at 8:00 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Let’s get right into it!

12/16 NHL Stack Report

1. Minnesota Wild 1 (Zuccarello-Steel-Kaprizov)

— This is the clear mismatch of the night as the second worst team in the NHL, the Chicago Blackhawks, face off against their Central division rivals in the Minnesota Wild. Where do we begin with this one… for starters, the star of the Wild’s top line has been scoring at an insane clip, Kirill Kaprizov has points in 16 of his last 17 games and both Zucarello and Steel have been putting up points on a regular basis. One major advantage in their hopes of getting on their scoresheet tonight is their opponent. Right off the bat they have a 4.1 implied goal total, and that makes a lot of sense as the goalie they’re facing is Petr Mrazek who allowed 7 goals in his last start and holds a goals against average of 4.37 and save percentage of just .873. On top of that embarrassing stat line, the Blackhawks have lost their last five games while the Wild have won their last three. Over those five losses for the Blackhawks, they were shut out twice and gave up at least three goals a game. This is a prime opportunity to exploit the one pure mismatch of the night, yes they will be chalky but you won’t want to be left behind when they hit bit.

Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Jared Spurgeon (cheaper alternative Calen Addison)

2. Calgary Flames 1 (Dube-Kadri-Mangiapane)

— Despite Calgary’s recent struggles this line has been putting together some solid performances on the ice. Both Dube and Mangiapane have three points over their last three games and Kadri has six points over his last six games, with all three getting on the score sheet in the razor thin loss against the Vancouver Canucks last Wednesday. Tonight, they’re up against a Blues side who is not only on the second half of a back-to-back but the game they took part in last night was extra exhausting as they came back late against the Oilers to tie the game with a short-handed goal, only to give up a goal to McDavid in overtime which was then called back for offside and then the Blues were finally able to win it in a shootout. After a rollercoaster like that, any team would be rightly exhausted going into their second of two games on the road. This gives the Flames an excellent opportunity to capitalize against backup keeper Thomas Greiss who holds a 3-4-0 record along with a 3.69 GAA and a Save Percentage just below .900. The Flames are also coming into this game with the second highest implied total of the slate at 3.7 and every member of the Flames second line sees time on the Flames power play with Kadri on the top unit and Dube and Mangiapane on the second unit. I would recommend including some of the Flames second line in your Daily Fantasy lineups tonight!


Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Rasmus Andersson

Honorable Mention(s): New York Islanders 1 (Lee-Barzal-Wahlstrom), Calgary Flames 1 (Huberdeau-Lindholm-Toffoli)

12/16 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

  1. Marc-Andre Fleury
  2. Ilya Sorokin
    Honorable Mention(s): Dan Vladar

Worst (Goalies to Target)

1. Karel Vejmelka
Honorable Mention(s): Petr Mrazek

12/16 NHL Wild Card Targets

Frederick Gaudreau
– Even though he is not alongside Kaprizov and Zuccarello. Gaudreau has been putting together a couple of solid performances as of late as he has three goals over his last two games and he’s steadily seeing over 13 minutes of ice time per game. We previously discussed the weaknesses of Petr Mrazek earlier in the article and Gaudreau is an affordable way to get some exposure on the Wild as I recommend that you target Mrazek in one form or another tonight, whether it is through the top line of the slate or a value piece like Gaudreau or Matt Boldy.
Honorable Mention(s): Brock Nelson, Matt Boldy, Mikael Backlund, Lawson Crouse

Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)

Center Nazem Kadri

Winger Kirill Kaprizov

Defenseman – Rasmus Andersson

Goalie Marc-Andre Fleury

Welcome to Wednesday’s edition of Between the Benches.   We have a small 3-game slate tonight. With only 6 teams in action, some of our spots will be limited.

Let’s dig in and see if we can make some money.   

NHL DFS Goaltending

I should start by saying that goaltending is a dumpster fire tonight. A case could be made to stack against each and every goalie tonight. That said, we still need to pick one or 2 so let’s go.

Jacob Markstrom ($7.8K DK/$7.5k FD) vs. Vancouver Canucks – We have a battle of 2 Canadien teams tonight in Calgary. My lean right now is to favor the home team as their the favorites in this one. Jacob Markstrom is coming into this game off his best game of the year. On Monday night vs. the Canadiens, Markstrom stopped 37 of 38 shots and scored 27 DK points. The 27 DK points were just the second time this season that Markstrom passed the 20-point mark and was also the most he’s had this year. My hope is that it increases his confidence and he puts up another monster night tonight.

Filip Gustavsson ($7.7k DK/$8.5k FD) vs. Detroit Red Wings– The Minnesota Wild come into this one of the heaviest favorites on the board tonight and rightfully so. They are 5-2 in their last 7 while the Red Wings are just 2-3-2. The Red Wings’ offense has been abysmal of late, scoring just 2.29 goals per game over those 7. Tonight they’ll get a tough matchup vs. Gustavsson.

While Gustavsson hasn’t played too much, when he’s played he’s played well. He’s coming off a dominant performance vs. the Canucks last week that saw him shut them out on 35 shots. He’s far from safe tonight, but I really like his chances to be one of the more productive goalies on this slate.

NHL DFS Stacks

Minnesota 1 (Steele, Kaprizov, Zuccarello) + Spurgeon vs. Detroit

With limited options tonight, I suspect that the Wild will be chalky tonight. They just have so many things in their corner tonight. The Red Wings’ defense has been bad. They’re giving up close to 16 high-danger chances per game and more than 34 shots on goal. To make matters even better for us, they’ll get to face Alex Nedeljkovic tonight. The owner of a GAA north of 4 and a save % south of 9.

This top line for Minnesota hasn’t quite been playing off the charts of late, but they have a ton of firepower with Kaprizov. Kaprizov is one of the more skilled players in the league and even though he has just 2 goals in his last 5, he’s taken 19 shots and 26 scoring chances. The numbers will come back for him and tonight’s a perfect spot for it to happen. Zuc is the preferred pairing partner here as he’s the playmaker and if Kaprizov scores, will more than likely get the apple.

Ottawa 2 (Pinto, DeBrincat, Batherson) + Hamonic vs. Montreal

It would be an understatement to say this season has been a disappointment for the Senators. They came into the season with high hopes but have yet to live up to them. That said, they are playing better and are 4-2-1 in their last 7. They’ll get a nice matchup tonight vs. the Canadiens, a team giving up more than 3 goals per game over the last 2 weeks.

I’m siding with the second line here tonight thanks to the strong play of all 3. Over their last 5 games, this line has combined for 15 points. Most of that production has come from DeBrincat and Batherson and they’ll be my core here. The 2 have combined for 13 of the 15 points. Pinto can 100% be added into this stack tonight as he’s shown some upside at times this season.

Calgary 1 (Backlund, Huberdeau, Toffoli) + Hanifin vs. Vancouver

Of all the teams playing tonight, no one is giving up more goals per game over the last 2 weeks than the Vancouver Canucks. At over 4 goals per game over the last 2 weeks, they are far and away worse than any other team tonight. They’re also giving up the second most high-danger chances per game at 15.80, slightly better than Detroit.

We’ll attack them with the top line for Calgary, a line that is coming alive. This line has combined for 13 points over their last 5, with Toffoli and Backlund having 4 each and Huberdeau having 5. Both Toffoli and Huberdeau play together on the top power-play unit and because of that correlation, they’ll be my preferred targets here. That said, a full stack here is in play.

Other Stacks: Ottawa 1, Calgary 2, Montreal 1 and 2

NHL DFS Top Value Defenseman

  • Luke Schenn – $3.3k on DK
  • Nikita Zaitsez – $2.9k on Dk
  • Erik Brannstrom – $2.5k on DK

Summary

It’s a small slate tonight, but it also has the makings of a high scoring slate as we have some poor defensive teams. I’ll be rocking a ton of Minnesota and Ottawa tonight with my NHL DFS stacks.
