NHL

Tonight’s Tuesday slate brings us 9 games on the menu, with a ton of places to go. It should be an interesting slate, with some teams on a back-to-back. Nine games means that the ownership should be pretty spread out, so we won’t have to worry too much about that. As usual, keep an eye on the news throughout the day. Good luck!

Goalies

Juuse Saros – Nashville Predators: Saros has a good chance at a win tonight, as the Preds host the Ducks. Saros can be considered for cash tonight, but he does carry a little bit of risk.

Jacob Markstrom – Calgary Flames: Markstrom and the Flames host the Florida Panthers, who have been a shell of themselves since Barkov went out. They just played last night, so this should be a pretty solid play tonight.

Tristan Jarry – Pittsburgh Penguins: The Penguins host the Hurricanes, who love shooting the puck. For that reason, Jarry has some very solid upside potential tonight, and he may even be able to snag a win on home ice.

Ilya Sorokin – New York Islanders: The Isles head to Philly to face the awful Flyers, and this should be a solid game for Sorokin. The upside here might be limited, but Sorokin should be able to get the win.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Connor Hellebuyck – Winnipeg Jets: Normally, we don’t advise playing a goalie against the Avalanche, but this looks like a good spot for some upside. Hellebuyck has been a solid goalie all year long, and a home matchup against a team that shoots the puck a ton is usually a formula for a good night.

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 Power Play – Ryan Johansen/Matt Duchene/Filip Forsberg/Mikael Granlund/Roman Josi: The Predators have a fantastic matchup tonight against the 31st ranked penalty kill in the league for the Ducks. The Ducks are also spending a lot of time on the PK, so this unit should see plenty of chances tonight.

Boston Bruins 1 – Patrice Bergeron/Jake Debrusk/Brad Marchand/Charlie McAvoy: The top line for the Bruins has a really nice matchup tonight against the Lightning. Boston has been a solid team all year long, and they should be able to solve the Lightning tonight.

San Jose Sharks 1 – Tomas Hertl/Timo Meier/Kevin Labanc/Erik Karlsson: One of the more prolific scoring lines so far this year, the top Sharks line has a great matchup tonight in Montreal. This line is set up to have a massive night.

High Risk Lines

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

Calgary Flames 1 – Elias Lindholm/Tyler Toffoli/Jonathan Huberdeau/Rasmus Andersson: As mentioned above, the Flames have a nice matchup tonight against the Panthers. Bobrovsky has not been playing too well of late, and this line has a nice even strength matchup.

Colorado Avalanche 1 – Nathan MacKinnon/Mikko Rantanen/Artturi Lehkonen/Cale Makar: The Avalanche top line has a nice even strength matchup tonight against the Jets.

Washington Capitals 2 – Evgeny Kuznetsov/Sonny Milano/TJ Oshie: The Canucks/Caps game could go pretty high scoring tonight. This line has a date with the Pettersson line in a very nice matchup.

Vancouver Canucks 2 – Elias Pettersson/Andrei Kuzmenko/Ilya Mikheyev: This line should see the aforementioned Capitals’ second line, which is a great matchup.

Seattle Kraken 3 – Yanni Gourde/Oliver Bjorkstrand/Brandon Tanev: This line could provide some really nice value tonight. They should be facing the third line for the Kings, and that sets up a great matchup.

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

Goalies

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

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

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

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

Lines to Build Around

These NHL DFS lines are considered top plays for the night and can be considered the focal point of your builds. They will be listed by position in the following order: Center/Winger/Winger/Correlating Defenseman (if applicable).

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

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

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

High Risk Lines

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

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

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

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

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

Value Options – DraftKings

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

Center: Filip Chytil ($3000) – New York Rangers

Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot.  Thanks to Thanksgiving, we have a much smaller than normal 5-game Saturday slate.  This is much more manageable than normal and one we should absolutely smash tonight.   

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

NHL DFS Goaltending

Semyon Varlamov ($8.1K DK/$8.3k FD) vs. Philadelphia Flyers – With Ilya Sorokin playing last night, we’ll more than likely see Semyon Varlamov in the net tonight for the Islanders.  He’s the clear number 2 on this team, but he gets a great matchup tonight vs. a Flyers team that is struggling to score goals right now.  Over the last 2 weeks, the Flyers are scoring just 2 goals per game in the 8 games they’ve played. 

While Varlamov is nothing spectacular, he has put up respectable numbers this season with a 2.97 GAA and a .914 save percentage.  The Islanders are big favorites tonight so there’s a solid chance that Varlamov gets the W.   

Vitek Vanecek ($8.1k DK/$8.4k FD) vs. Washington Capitals – The hot New Jersey Devils will look to continue their solid play tonight vs. an aging Washington Capitals team.  My only concern with this pick tonight will be that the Devils don’t give up much in the way of shots so this may be more reserved for Cash games.  That said, Vanecek stands an excellent chance at having a dominating night vs. a Capitals team that is scoring just 2.5 goals per game over their last 6 games. 

Vanecek has been really solid this season with a 2.13 GAA and a .917 save percentage.  He hasn’t let up more than 3 goals in any game this season and there’s no reason to think that will change tonight.  There’s also a strong chance he gets shutout number 2 tonight.

NHL DFS Stacks

Vegas 1 (Eichel, Stephenson, Stone) + Pietrangelo vs. Vancouver

The Vegas Knights get one of the softer matchups of any team playing tonight.  The Canucks have struggled defensively just about all season and if we look at a smaller sample size of the last couple of weeks, it’s no different.  Over the last 2 weeks, they’re giving up over 35 shots on goal and 3.5 goals per game.  This sets up nicely for the top line of Eichel, Stone, and Stephenson. 

My core to this line is going to be Mark Stone.  Stone has been the leading goal scorer of this team over their last 5 games with 5 goals.  He’s also added an assist in there for good measure.  Next up will be Jack Eichel.  He too has 6 points in his last 5 games, just with 1 goal and 5 assists.  I expect this line to be popular tonight but for good measure.  They should smash. 

Colorado 1 (MacKinnon, Lehkonen, Rantanen) + Makar vs. Dallas

While the Stars have the hottest player in the game in Jason Robertson, they’ve also been one of the poorer defensive teams right now.  And with Dallas playing last night, they’ll be leaning on backup Scott Wedgewood to try and stop this powerhouse of a line.  It’s going to be a long night for a Stars team already giving up nearly 3.3 goals per game over the last 2 weeks. 

Surprisingly, the guy on the top line for the Avalanche doing the most damage right now is Artturi Lehkonen.  Over his last 5 games, Lehkonen has 7 points thanks to 3 goals and 4 assists.  He’ll be a lock in my lineup in this matchup and will look to build around him with either MacKinnon or Rantanen. MacKinnon has only scored 1 goal over his last 5 games but has an xG of 2.83.  He’s due and that should happen tonight. 

New York PP1 (Nelson, Lee, Pageau, Dobson, Barzal) vs. Philadelphia

Picking on the Flyers has been a successful strategy recently.  The Flyers are 0-5-3 over their last 8 games while giving up more than 4 goals per game over that stretch.  We’ll want to pick on them whenever we can and with already going with 2 pricey stacks, we’ll want to find some lower-cost plays.  The Islanders top power-play unit will provide us with that. 

The 2 guys I’m mostly focused on here will be Barzal and Pageau.  Over his last 5 games, Barzal has 2 goals and 5 assists for 7 points.  He’s been playing great and that should continue tonight.  Pageau is where we really find value.  Although he plays on the third line, he does play on the top power-play unit and is only $3.1k on DK tonight.  Over his last 5 games, he has 4 goals and provides some nice upside at a cheap price. 

Other Stacks: Vegas 2, Dal 1, Col 1, Van 1, NJ 1 and 2, Tor 1, Pit 1

NHL DFS Top Value Defenseman

  • Rasmus Ristolainen – $2.5k on DK
  • Esa Lindell – $2.8k on Dk
  • Luke Schenn – $3.1k on DK
  • Ryan Graves – $3.1k on DK

Summary

Tonight should be a fun slate of NHL DFS.  I plan on going heavy with the Vegas Golden Knights and will sprinkle in some Avalanche and Islanders.

Welcome to Wednesday’s edition of Between the Benches.   We have a massive 15-game slate tonight leading into a day off for everyone tomorrow thanks to the Thanksgiving holiday.  We’ll have plenty of options tonight for offense. 

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

NHL DFS Goaltending


Antti Ranta ($8.6K DK/$6.7k FD) vs. Arizona Coyotes
 – If you’re playing on FD tonight, Ranta is just about a must-play in all formats at that price. The Hurricanes are massive favorites tonight vs. a Coyotes team that is really struggling to put the puck in the net.  Over their last 5 games, the Coyotes have scored just 9 goals for an average of fewer than 2 goals per game. 

Ranta has been a bit better than average this season with a 2.54 GAA and a .902 save percentage.  I’m going to ignore his last 2 outings due to both being against the powerhouse offense of the Colorado Avalanche.  With the Hurricanes being such heavy favorites tonight, Ranta makes for a nice play in cash games tonight.  His price has me a bit off in GPP’s on DK.

Joonas Korpisalo ($7.9k DK/$6.6k FD) vs. Montreal Canadiens – More than likely, I’m going to lock in Korpisalo as my GPP goalie tonight.  He’ll face a ton of shots tonight as the Blue Jackets have been giving up in excess of 41 per game over the past 2 weeks.  He’s far from safe and that’s why he’s my GPP goalie tonight. 

He’ll be facing a team in the Canadiens that just helped the Sabres break their losing streak last night.  Outside of his last outing vs. Detroit, Korpisalo had been in double-digit DK points in every start this year, with a few being over 20.  I like him to get back on track tonight vs. a tired Montreal team. 

NHL DFS Stacks

Teams like Colorado and Boston are 100% in play tonight.  My goal is to give you some different lines to differentiate your lineups from others. 

Stl 1 (Thomas, Buchnevich, Kyrou) + Parayko vs. Buffalo

The Blues were a bit of a disappointment the other night when they only scored 3 goals vs. the Ducks.  They get an equally juicy matchup tonight vs. Buffalo and I just don’t think the disappointment happens 2 games in a row.  Although the Sabres finally won a game last night, it was against the Canadiens.  They’re still struggling and giving up over 4.3 goals per game over the last couple of weeks. 

I’m going to attack a tired team with the Blues’ top line.  Buchnevich, Thomas, and Kyrou have all been putting up points.  Combined, they have 23 points over their last 5 games.  And to make it even sweeter, they are all extremely affordable tonight.  The most expensive guy in this stack is Kyrou at $5.7k on DK.  We will however need to keep an eye on Tarasenko tonight.  If he plays, this line could get shuffled a bit.  Make sure to hop in discord for all the latest updates. 

Columbus 1 (Jenner, Gaudreau, Nyquist) + Bjork vs. Montreal

Montreal is coming off a good ole whooping last night at the hands of the Buffalo Sabres.  They gave up 7 and wouldn’t be surprised to see them give up a bunch tonight as well.  Over the last 2 weeks, the Canadiens are giving up 4.67 goals per game.  As usual, they are a mess of a team and one that we should consider stacking against.  I’m going to do it with the top line of the Blue Jackets. 

The core of this stack is going to be Boone Jenner.  Over his last 5 games, Jenner has 4 goals and 2 assists.  Those numbers should be amplified in this matchup tonight.  My lean right now is to pair him with Johnny Hockey.  Gaudreau has been playing well of late, with 1 goal and 5 assists in his last 5 games.  These 2 should have a solid night vs. a poor defensive Canadiens team. 

Washington 1 (Ovechkin, Strome, Sheary) + Carlson vs. Philly

What we have here are 2 struggling teams.  The once-hot Flyers are 0-5-1 over their last 6 while the Capitals are 1-4-1 over their last 6.  Both teams are giving up goals in bunches while not scoring much on their own.  That changes tonight.  A complete game stack here isn’t out of the question, but I’m going to side at first with the Capitals.  Carter Hart went from Vezina candidate to backup goalie candidate.  He’s been giving up a healthy amount of goals over the last few weeks and we’ll want to target that. 

I’m locking in Ovechkin here.  He’s not hot by any means and could net us 0, but with Philly struggling, we could see a monster game out of him.  He’s also still firing away with 4 shots on goal per game and an iCF of 41 over his last 5.  I’ll pair him with Sheary tonight.  Sheary is cheap and has some goal upside as he’s scored 3 over his last 5.  This game could be a fantasy haven. 

Other Stacks: Colorado 1 and 2, Boston 1, Buf 1, NJ 1, Pit 1 and 2, Car 1 and 2, Det 1, NSH 1, Phi 1, Dal 1, Veg 1 and 2,  NYR 1

NHL DFS Top Value Defenseman

  • Justin Schultz – $3.5k on DK
  • Filip Hronek – $4.1k on Dk
  • Luke Schenn – $3k on DK
  • Adam Larsson – $3.7k on DK

Summary

Tonight should be a fun little slate of NHL DFS.  30 teams are action and we’ll have plenty of stacks to choose from.  The stacks I chose to highlight are my favorites as of writing this article.  Things can change throughout the day so make sure to jump into discord!

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

Goalies

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

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

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

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

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

Lines to Build Around

These NHL DFS lines are considered top plays for the night and can be considered the focal point of your builds. They will be listed by position in the following order: Center/Winger/Winger/Correlating Defenseman (if applicable).

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

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

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

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

High Risk Lines

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

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

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

Welcome to Monday! With the holiday coming up, the schedule for the NHL gets a little weird. Monday usually means a short slate, but tonight we have 10 games to sift through. There are a lot of interesting places to look tonight, and it should be a fun one to break down. Let’s get right into it. Good luck!

Goalies

Jordan Binnington – St. Louis Blues: Binny and the Blues host the Ducks tonight, and the Blues have been streaking. Binnington has finally started to put something together and has looked very solid of late. This should be a safe place to get a win.

Antti Raanta – Carolina Hurricanes: The Canes head to Winnipeg tonight to face the Jets, and this is a decent spot for Raanta. He has solid numbers over his last five, and he has a good chance at a win tonight.

Logan Thompson – Vegas Golden Knights: The Knights head to Vancouver tonight to face the Canucks, and Thompson continues to be a solid option in net. He carries a little bit of risk, as the Canucks are a little better at home, but he should still be a decent option.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Vitek Vanecek – New Jersey Devils: The Devils host the Oilers tonight, and Vanecek has some stellar looking numbers. He should see a bunch of shots tonight, and as long as he keeps playing the way he has, he should carry some great upside potential.

Others to Consider: Juuse Saros (NSH), James Reimer (SJS), Linus Ullmark (BOS)

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).

St. Louis Blues 1 – Robert Thomas/Jordan Kyrou/Pavel Buchnevich/Torey Krug: The Blues will be without Vladimir Tarasenko on this top line tonight, so Kyrou moves up. Just two days ago, this same matchup happened, and Buchnevich/Thomas combined for six points on eight shots. Fire up the Blues’ top line tonight.

Calgary Flames Power Play – Elias Lindholm/Nazem Kadri/Jonathan Huberdeau/Tyler Toffoli/Rasmus Andersson: The Flames head to Philly tonight, where they should have a field day against a Flyers team that is just not very good. The power play look gets you access to multiple lines, and scoring might be spread out tonight for the Flames.

New Jersey Devils 1 – Nico Hischier/Tomas Tatar/Fabian Zetterlund/Dougie Hamilton: The Devils have been phenomenal over the last month or so, and have won 12 straight. They face Edmonton tonight, which sounds like a tall task, but this is a great opportunity for them. The top line is in a fantastic even strength matchup tonight, and they should be able to pot a few goals.

San Jose Sharks 1 – Tomas Hertl/Kevin Labanc/Timo Meier/Erik Karlsson: The Sharks host the Senators tonight, and this line is set up for what could be a huge night. Their even strength matchup looks fantastic, and they have been playing very, very well over the last couple of weeks.

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).

Toronto Maple Leafs 1 – Auston Matthews/Michael Bunting/William Nylander/Morgan Rielly: This top line for the Leafs has a nice matchup tonight at home against the Islanders, who have been bleeding chances. The risk here comes in with Sorokin, who can be solid in net, and the fact that the Islanders do have the ability to slow down good offensive teams. Tonight should be a tall task for that defense though, and this is a good place to consider.

Vegas Golden Knights 1 – Jack Eichel/Mark Stone/Chandler Stephenson/Alex Pietrangelo: This top line has a date with the Canucks’ top line, and that sets up for a really nice matchup. This line’s numbers have been very, very good, and they should be able to handle that matchup, even though the top line for the Canucks has been somewhat limiting defensively.

Tampa Bay Lightning 3 – Vladislav Namestnikov/Corey Perry/Ross Colton: The Lighting and Bruins game tonight should be a great battle. Both teams are looking good of late, and there are superstars up and down each lineup. The matching schemes for the Lightning suggest that the depth lines could be the difference makers, and that’s where this line comes in. They have a good even strength matchup tonight, and could provide some great value.

Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot.  We have ourselves a massive and I mean massive 13-game slate of NHL DFS tonight.  The schedule makers for the NHL have not been doing us much justice!  There are a ton of teams that will be in ideal spots for offense tonight. 

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

NHL DFS Goaltending

Jeremy Swayman ($8.3K DK/$8.8k FD) vs. Chicago Blackhawks – Steven Conroy of the Boston Herald is projecting that Jeremy Swayman will make his return tonight vs. the Chicago Blackhawks.  Regardless of who is in the net for the Bruins tonight, I’ll be on them in cash-game lineups.  The Bruins are massive favorites tonight (-410) and while whoever mans the net tonight won’t face much in the way of shots, they stand an excellent chance of getting a shutout. 

The Blackhawks’ offense right now is just about non-existent.  Over the last 2 weeks, they’ve scored just 6 goals in their last 5 games.  That’s pretty abysmal and it’s something we’ll want to attack with a goalie.  I just don’t think there will be enough upside for a takedown in a GPP, but they’ll suffice in Cash.   

Joonas Korpisalo ($7.3k DK/$6.5k FD) vs. Detroit Red Wings – With Elvis Merzlikins on the shelf right now for a couple of weeks, Joonas Korpisalo is getting the run as the Blue Jackets’ main goalie.  Korpisalo will be the ideal GPP goalie tonight.  He’s cheap and is going to face a ton of shot volume as the Blue Jackets are giving up a ton of shots right now. 

Over the last 2 weeks, they’ve given up close to 41 shots on goal per game.  That’s insanely high and sets us up for the 35-save bonus on DK.  On FD, his price being under $7k is extremely enticing and frees up a ton of cash.  While the Red Wings have some firepower, they haven’t been scoring in excess so if Korpisalo can get 35 saves while only giving up 2-3 goals, he should net us a ton of points on both DK and FD.  

NHL DFS Stacks

Toronto 1 (Matthews, Bunting, Nylander) + Rielly vs. Buffalo

With how poorly the Sabres are playing right now, I’m all over the Maple Leafs tonight.  The Sabres are coming into this game on a 7-game losing streak.  Over that stretch, they’re giving up more than 4.5 goals per game.  This screams a breakout game for Auston Matthews.  After scoring a career-high 60 goals last season, Matthews is at a much slower pace this season.  He’s only scored 8 goals through his first 18 games and that has to be considered a disappointment.  That changes tonight as I do think the Maple Leafs top center has a monster game tonight in what should be a great scoring environment. 

To balance out his price, I’m going to look to pair him with Bunting tonight who is only $3.5k on DK.  Bunting has assists in back-to-back games and if Matthews does go off, Bunting will be involved in the scoring.  We can also add Rielly to this stack.  Rielly has 6 assists in his last 6 games and is fairly priced at $5.1k for an offensive defenseman.

Vegas 2 (Karlsson, Marchessault, Smith) + McNabb vs. Edmonton

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the top line for Vegas tonight.  They should do well, but with them being on the road the Oilers should be able to put their top defensive unit up against them.  That will leave us with hopefully a little more wiggle room for the second unit to score some points for us.  Their second line is being led right now by Reilly Smith.  Over his last 6 games, Smith has 6 goals.  He’s been a goal-scoring machine and with Edmonton giving up over 4 goals per game over the last 2 weeks, he’ll have an opportunity to score more tonight. 

My lean right now is to pair him with Marchessault.  March has 4 points in his last 5 games, with 3 of those being assists.  Combined, the 2 will only cost us on average a bit more than $5.7k on DK.  Vegas should score a bunch tonight and the second line will hopefully be the main scoring unit tonight. 

Montreal 1 (Suzuki, Caufield, Dach) + Xhekaj vs. Philly

I’ve gone with 2 chalky teams, let’s go with a higher-risked team in Montreal.  Just a couple of weeks ago we were clamoring anytime that Carter Hart was in the net.  He was cheap and on fire.  But like FTX, the collapse of Hart has been extreme.  Over his last 4 outings, Hart has now given up 15 goals.  Not ideal for the Flyers, but hopefully ideal for us tonight and stacking against him. 

Now with this line, there’s a chance at a goose egg, but I’m playing GPP’s and with that mindset, you need to take a risk.  This top line for Montreal has some firepower to it.  Caufield is a little pricey tonight at $7.1k on DK considering his recent production, but he’s still firing away on the net.  At some point, they’ll go in.  His iCF over his last 5 games is a team-leading 35.  This is a breakout environment for him tonight.  I’ll look to pair him with both Suzuki and Dach tonight.  Xhekaj is a way for us to get cheap here tonight.  He’s just $3k on DK tonight but has been averaging close to 4 shots plus blocks over his last 5.   

Other Stacks: Vegas 1, TB 1 and 2, Col 1, NYR 1 and 2, Det 1, Phi 1, WPG 2, Stl 1 and 2

NHL DFS Top Value Defenseman

  • Filip Hronek – $3.8k on DK
  • Jake Christiansen – $2.5k on Dk
  • Esa Lindell – $2.9k on DK
  • Justin Schultz – $3k on DK

Summary

We have a massive slate tonight.  While these are a few of my favorite stacks tonight, there are going to be a ton of places for offense.  Vegas, Colorado, Toronto, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis all should score a bunch tonight.

Welcome to Wednesday’s edition of Between the Benches.   I’ll be focusing on tonight’s 3-game main slate of NHL DFS on DraftKings and FanDuel.  A couple of the games tonight should be higher scoring, while the game between the Blues and Blackhawks has the makings of a snooze fest. 

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

NHL DFS Goaltending

Jordan Binnington ($8.1K DK/$7.1k FD) vs. Chicago Blackhawks – I’ll be targeting both goalies in this one as neither team has really been scoring.  First I’ll look to target Binnington.  The Blues are favored here and I do expect them to get the W.  The Blackhawks’ offense has just been absolutely anemic.  They’ve scored just 6 goals in their last 5 games for an average of just 1.20 goals per game.  That’s pretty bad. 

With Binnington, we also have a goalie who’s starting to play a little bit better.  He’s been in double-digit DK points in 4 straight games and is coming off arguably his 2 best games of the season.  I like him on both sites tonight, but that price on FD is extremely tempting!

Arvid Soderblom ($7.3k DK/$7.8k FD) vs. St. Louis Blues – If you’re looking to save at goalie tonight, look no further than Arvid Soderblom.  At just $7.3k he’ll save you a few dollars allowing you to pay a little bit more for your skaters.  Through 5 starts this season, he’s been pretty decent.  He’s sporting a 2.60 GAA and a .931 save percentage. 

He gets a somewhat favorable matchup tonight vs. a Blues team that has only been scoring 2.50 goals per game over the last couple of weeks.  With them not firing on all cylinders and Soderblom at an extremely enticing price point, I plan on firing him up in my GPP lineups tonight. 

NHL DFS Stacks

Ottawa 1 (Stutzle, Giroux, Tkachuk) + Hamonic vs. Buffalo Sabres

The Buffalo Sabres are free-falling and also happened to have played last night.  The Sabres are also giving up more than 4.5 goals per game over their last 7 games.  All those factors combined have me all over Ottawa tonight, specifically their top unit from Stutzle, Giroux, and Tkachuk.  These three guys have done the bulk of the scoring for the Senators of late.  Combined, they have 20 points over their last 5 games. 

Giroux has seemingly found the fountain of youth as he is on absolute fire right now.  Over his last 5, Giroux has 3 goals and 5 assists.  At $5.5k on DK tonight, he is extremely fairly priced.  While Tkachuk only has 5 points in his last 5, he should absolutely have more than that.  He has an xG of 3.93 while having 0 goals in his last 5 games.  At some point, those shots are going to hit the back of the net.  I want to make sure I have him in my lineup when they do.  Hamonic is where we can save with this stack.  He’s only $3.8k on DK but is averaging close to 5 shots plus blocks over his 5.  He’s a solid value play here. 

Los Angeles 2 (Danault, Moore, Arvidsson) + Durzi vs. Edmonton

This is where we’ll save some of our money tonight.  The Kings are in a great spot tonight vs. an Edmonton Oilers team that is struggling right now.  Over their last 6 games, the Oilers are giving up 4.33 goals per game and a slate-leading 17 high-danger chances per game.  Those 17 are significantly higher than any of the other 5 teams playing tonight.  The Oilers have given up a massive amount of scoring chances over the last 2 weeks at 224. 

We’ll attack them tonight with the second line for the Kings.  All three of Danault, Moore, and Arvidsson have been active in the scoring.  Danault leads the Kings in points over their last 5 games with 5 points.  All three guys are also very fairly priced as the cheapest is $4.4k and the most expensive is $4.8k. 

Buffalo 1 (Thompson, Skinner, Tuch) + Dahlin vs. Ottawa Senators

While the Sabres have been struggling on the defensive side of things, it really hasn’t impacted their ability on offense.  Of all 6 teams on tonight’s slate, no one has a higher goals per game than the Sabres at 3.14.  This game could very well turn into a shoot and with it being such a small slate, a full game stack is very much in play.  The offense for the Sabres is very much centralized in their top line. 

After a breakout season in 2021, Tage Thompson has continued to score this year.  With 11 goals through 16 games, Thompson is one of the leading goal-scorers in the league right now as he’s tied for fourth. He’s pricy at $7.7k on DK, but he always stands a chance at scoring a goal.  Next up will be Skinner and Tuch.  Both guys are priced similarly so if I had to pick, I’m picking Skinner as he’s been scoring more goals than Tuch.  That said, you should be able to squeeze all 3 guys in tonight. 

Other Stacks: Edmonton 1 and 2, St. Louis 1 and 2

NHL DFS Top Value Defenseman

  • Alexander Edler – $2.8k on DK
  • Jarred Tinordi – $2.7k on Dk
  • Erik Brannstrom – $2.6k on DK

Summary

We have a small, but mighty slate tonight.  I plan on going with a game stack of the Senators/Sabres tonight.  A late night hammer of a stack with the Oilers/Kings is also in play.

Welcome to the Hot Shot for Tuesday, 11/15! We get a good sized, 9 game slate tonight with all kinds of action. There are lots of interesting places to look tonight. Let’s check out our NHL DFS picks for tonight. Good luck!

Goalies

Logan Thompson – Vegas Golden Knights: Thompson and the Knights host the Sharks tonight, and are massive favorites. The good thing about this play is that there could actually be some decent shot volume, so this looks like a good place to go in net.

Sergei Bobrovsky – Florida Panthers: The Panthers host the Capitals tonight, and Florida has a good shot at a win. Bob has been a little inconsistent this year, so there is a slight risk with him.

Marc-Andre Fleury – Minnesota Wild: After a pretty rough start to the year, MAF can finally be listed as a goalie to play tonight. He has really turned his numbers around, and he just so happens to get a matchup tonight with a pretty depleted roster for the Predators.

Vitek Vanecek – New Jersey Devils: The Devils host the Canadiens tonight, and while this looks on the surface like a safe play, there is some risk involved. Vanecek is coming off of an injury, and the Canadiens have been scoring a little bit of late. The Devils should have the upper hand in this game, though, so he is worth a look.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Jake Oettinger – Dallas Stars: The Stars head to Tampa tonight to take on the Lightning, and this should be a good spot for shot volume. The Stars have been rolling, so there is also a possibility for a win tonight.

Lines to Build Around

These NHL DFS lines are considered top plays for the night and can be considered the focal point of your builds. They will be listed by position in the following order: Center/Winger/Winger/Correlating Defenseman (if applicable).

Vegas Golden Knights 2 – William Karlsson/Jonathan Marchessault/Rielly Smith/Shea Theodore: Vegas is in a fantastic spot tonight, and this second line should see a lot of the depth for the Sharks, creating a great matchup.

Dallas Stars 1 – Roope Hintz/Joe Pavelski/Jason Robertson/Miro Heiskanen: As mentioned, the Stars head to Tampa tonight, and this is a good spot for this top line, who has been scorching hot. They should see a lot of the top line for the Lightning, and with Elliott in net, expect them to light the lamp a few times.

Florida Panthers 1 – Aleksander Barkov/Matthew Tkachuk/Carter Verhaeghe/Aaron Ekblad: Against Washington, it feels like this line may go a little overlooked, but Kuemper for the Caps has been pretty bad of late. Expect them to see a lot of the top line tonight in a very good matchup.

Columbus Blue Jackets 1 – Boone Jenner/Emil Bemstrom/Johnny Gaudreau: The Blue Jackets face the Flyers again tonight, and top lines have been dominating Philly recently. This line looks to be in a good spot on home ice. Gaudreau and Jenner are the priorities here, but Bemstrom makes for a good value piece.

New Jersey Devils 2 – Jack Hughes/Yegor Sharanagovich/Jesper Bratt: The Devils’ second line is in a great spot tonight against the Canadiens. They should see a lot of the second and third lines, while Suzuki and co. focus on the Hischier line. They have a very good looking matchup on paper tonight, and Bratt/Hughes correlate on the power play.

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).

Detroit Red Wings 1 – Dylan Larkin/Tyler Bertuzzi/Lucas Raymond/Filip Hronek: Tyler Bertuzzi returns for the Red Wings tonight, as they face the Ducks in Anaheim. This is a great, great spot for this top line, especially if they Ducks keep their matching scheme. With Henrique in the lineup, they usually run them against the opposing top line, setting this line up for a potentially great night. Mortiz Seider can be used instead of Hronek, but Hronek gets the 5v5 correlation.

Anaheim Ducks 1 – Trevor Zegras/Troy Terry/Adam Henrique/John Klingberg: This is the opposing line from the matchup above, and this is a good matchup for the top line. However, Bertuzzi coming back may make it a little tougher for this line, which is what makes them a risky play.

Vancouver Canucks Power Play – Elias Pettersson/Brock Boeser/Bo Horvat/JT Miller/Quinn Hughes: The Canucks’ power play is in a good spot tonight, as they face the Sabres’ 26th ranked penalty kill. This is usually where the scoring comes from for the Canucks, and this game could be high scoring.

Buffalo Sabres Power Play – Tage Thompson/Jeff Skinner/Alex Tuch/Victor Olofsson/Rasmus Dahlin: The Sabres have gone cold recently, so they had to shuffle their lines a bit. However, the power play unit is in a good spot, as Vancouver is sporting the 31st ranked penalty killing unit. There is a legitimate possibility that Buffalo could snap out of their funk tonight.

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

Goalies

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

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

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

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

Lines to Build Around

These NHL DFS lines are considered top plays for the night and can be considered the focal point of your builds. They will be listed by position in the following order: Center/Winger/Winger/Correlating Defenseman (if applicable).

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

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

High Risk Lines

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

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

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

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

NHL DFS Honorable Mentions: LAK1, CAR1, STL1, CGYPP
