This article focuses on NHL DFS Picks for 1/15 on DraftKings and FanDuel. Both sites have fairly different scoring formats, particularly with the recent changes on DraftKings. We consider tournament tactics, statistics, pricing, and attempt to tackle this highly variable Daily Fantasy format so we can gain an edge on the field at large. BE SURE to double-check both regular and power play lines at both morning skate and before lock as they can drastically change from the time of publication.

Top Two Lines

Montreal Two – Max Domi, Nick Suzuki, Artturi Lehkonen

The Chicago Blackhawks come into this one on the second night of a back to back, following a big overtime win over the Ottawa Senators. Since their top goaltender Robin Lehner was in net last night, the Canadiens will get to face the much more vulnerable Corey Crawford. We will have to see if Brendan Gallagher is finally going to return from a concussion at the morning skate. It is a coin flip which lines to use without him but I would lean towards line two, despite the fact that Ilya Kovalchuk makes for a fine one-off or add on for power-play correlation. If Brendan Gallagher is in, it would likely be the line with him in it “he usually skates on the first”. Montreal is a -150 home favorite and should be able to walk away with the win on home ice.

Chicago One – Jonathan Toews, Dominik Kubalik

The St. Louis Blues are a -175 home favorite against the Philadelphia Flyers, who have been awful on the road with their extreme splits. However, I also think that we can go back to this line, which has been fire personified, as those folks in the NHL discord chat are already well aware. There is no need to include Drake Cagguila as he is worthless, so I left him off above. However, the other two skaters have been absolutely killing it and make for great plays on the short slate. They combined for three goals last night and have seven over their last ten games. Nonetheless, they remain far too cheap. When you’re hot, you’re hot, and given the Canadiens’ recent struggles in net prior to Carey Price’s last two outings, I like this game to go over.

Patrick Kane, Brendan Gallagher, Alex Pietrangelo – Over 2.5 Points – The 2.5 point bet is up to a 16/22 hit rate as it smashed once again via an Auston Matthews hat trick, two point night for Nathan MacKinnon and Steven Stamkos goal. On a two game slate, the pickings are slimmer. I would wait to see if Brendan Gallagher is back though before placing it.

Top Expensive Line

Tampa Bay One – Brayden Point, Nikita Kucherov, Steven Stamkos

It is just hard to find a way around Tampa Bay here. They come in a whopping -300 favorite, good for largest on the slate. Many people might also be attracted to the Toronto Maple Leafs, who come in a -250 favorite at home against the Devils. However, the Devils have played much better recently aside from one lopsided loss against the Rangers. I also think that the Tampa Bay top line is vastly more talented, as Auston Matthews individually is the only skater on their level. The Kings, meanwhile are traveling to Tampa from the west coast and should get shellacked. Prior to their hangup against the Devils, this line looked unstoppable. If you play on both sites, I would give them priority on DraftKings due to the savings you get on Brayden Point.

Top Value Line

New York Islanders One – Anders Lee, Jordan Eberle, Brock Nelson

I try not to be a homer but the Islanders are a hefty -275 home favorite for their faceoff with the woeful Detroit Red Wings. As Allan put it, “Detroit is playing like Brad Marchand taking a penalty shot”, in reference to Marchand’s big whiff last night. Matt Barzal has been pretty solid individually, but I would turn to the top line here. They have been the best overall line on the Islanders as of late, and come in following a two-goal game from Jordan Eberle, in what was otherwise a huge disappointment against the Rangers last night. Jimmy Howard aka “Slipping Jimmy” has already been confirmed in net, which is a huge bump for the Isles. I have no idea why he continues to draw starts with his awful 4.10 GAA and .880 save percentage. You might be able to find someone better off the street. When combined with all of the shots that the Red Wings allow, it’s the perfect recipe for a swift Islanders bounce back.

Top Expensive Line

Washington Two – Evgeny Kuznetsov, Jakob Vrana, and T.J. Oshie

I do not know if they are really that expensive, as the Washington second line continues to come at a significant discount on DraftKings. They are more of a mid-priced line there. However, on FanDuel two of the three skaters are priced up, so it fits. The Capitals come in a -140 home favorite as of the time of writing and have continued to be productive. This line has eight GF over their last ten games, good for a three-way tie for fourth in the NHL during that period. Jakob Vrana was recently rewarded for his hot streak with a promotion to the first power-play unit. He certainly did not disappoint, as he scored a power-play goal the very first chance he had. Until their prices increase on DraftKings, just continue to roll them out. As for FanDuel, Vrana remains cheap over there so you can consider using him as a one-off, as opposed to using the full line.

The other expensive line in the discussion would be Boston One on the basis of sheer skill and talent. However, Philadelphia has been tough at home, so that game will be no cakewalk for them.

St. Louis Three – Alex Steen, Robert Thomas, Tyler Bozak

This game does not have a very high total but St. Louis is a heavy -215 favorite. It’s rare that I would recommend turning to a third line, but given the small slate, why not step outside the box a little bit. This line has six GF over their last ten games, so they have been surprisingly decent in terms of their production. They also see more ice time than your average third line with about fifteen to sixteen minutes a game per skater. This Ducks team has done little to protect their goaltenders all season, leading to a down year for John Gibson. You don’t have to use this line and can live in the middle instead. I don’t think that you need them fit a line like Washington Two above. However, if you want a tournament line with Boston One or a similarly expensive line, they might be worth a look.

Alex Ovechkin, David Pastrnak, Aleksander Barkov – Over 2.5 Points – The 2.5 point bet is up to a 14/20 hit rate thanks to Aleksander Barkov’s three points. Since we do not have to deal with salary on Monkey Knife Fight, we can fit in Alex Ovechkin, and use David Pastrnak and Artemi Panarin in sub-optimal matchups.
