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.
