NHL DFS Core for October 26

Happy Saturday y’all! We have ourselves a massive 11-game slate of NHL DFS tonight. This is a slate that at first glance is wide open. We have 5 teams on the tail-end of a back-to-back and 2 teams on the front-end of a back-to-back. This slate also brings us some of the worst defensive teams in the league and we’ll surely be able to attack them.

Let’s dig in and make some money!

NHL DFS Goalies

Frederik Andersen ($7.9k on DK) vs. Seattle Kraken

Frederik Andersen is off to a roaring start in the 2024-2025 campaign. Through 3 starts, he owns an impressive 1.65 GAA and a strong .939 save percentage. At a price tag of $7.9k on DK, we’re getting a goalie who has immense upside. He’s scored at least 20 DK points in back-to-back contests and with a matchup against an average at best offense in the Kraken, I would not be surprised to see him make it 3 in a row with over 20. The Kraken are scoring just north of 3 goals per game on 30 shots.

I have no doubt in my mind that Andersen should be able to limit any damage that the Kraken try to throw his way. Look for him to be one of the top goalies of the night.

Dustin Wolf ($7.4k on DK) vs. Winnipeg Jets

I wish the matchup was a little bit better, but it’s tough to ignore the price tag on Wolf given what he’s done so far this season. Through his first 3 starts, he’s been at 23 points once and 24 points twice. The Flames have been bleeding shots all season and Wolf has looked pretty formidable in saving most of them. Thanks to the barrage of shots on him, he’s averaged more than 34 saves a game so far this season.

Winnipeg for that matter has taken nearly 32 shots on goal per game. The volume should be there for Wolf tonight to continue to make a ton of saves per game. I’m sure he’ll let in a few, but with his price and the amount of saves he should get, he’ll easily pay off his salary and more tonight. One of the best values on the board.

Other goalies I like tonight will be Connor Hellebuyk, Kevin Lankinen, and Anthonly Stolarz. There are a lot of options at $8k or under this evening.

NHL DFS Stacks

Vegas 1 (Stone/Eichel/Barbashev) vs. San Jose Sharks

Although they have some tired legs after playing last night against the Senators, they’re at least home for both of them and they get one of the best matchups on the board tonight. The Sharks are bad, just like last season. Through the first 8 games of the season, they are still searching for the first win and are already at a -17 goal differential. Teams are scoring nearly 4 goals per game against them and are taking close to 33 shots on goal per game against them. They are also giving up close to 14 high-danger chances per game. This all sets up great for one of the best lines in the league.

All 3 guys on this line have been productive, including the cheapest member in Barbashev. He’s scored a goal in 3 of his last 4 games and had 2 last night against the Sens. He’ll be a core for me here, followed by his linemates in Stone and Eichel. They are pricey, but they should smash tonight against a very bad Sharks team.

Dallas 2 (Seguin/Duchene/Marchment) vs. Chicago Blackhawks

With the Blackhawks on the tail end of the back-to-back, I expect them to be sloppier than normal on D. While they have been improved compared to last season, they are still giving up close to 3.5 goals per game. We should also see Arvid Soderblom in net for the Blackhawks tonight and he is super beatable as he owns a career GAA well into the 3’s. He’s also coming off a start vs. the Sabres that saw him give up 4 goals.

This second unit for the Stars has been good as they’ve combined for 15 points and 6 goals over their last 5 games. The core play here will be Matt Duchene as he’s lead the way with 7 points over over his last 5 games. The top line for the Dallas is also very much in play tonight.

Other stacks I like tonight will be NYR 1 and 2, Van 1, St. Louis 1 and 2, Tor 1 and Tampa 1.

NHL DFS Core for October 24

Jared Levitt 7 months ago

written by Jared Levitt

Happy Thursday y’all! We have ourselves a strong 9-game slate of NHL DFS tonight. This is a slate that brings a matchup of last year’s Eastern Conference Finals as the Rangers play host to the reigning Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers. As a Rangers fan, I’ll be glued to this matchup as these 2 teams are still 2 of the best in the NHL. This is also a slate that brings us a perpetually bad team in the Sharks.

Let’s dig in and make some money!

NHL DFS Goalies

Connor Hellebuyck ($7.8k on DK) vs. Seattle Kraken

Four teams remain unbeaten in regulation this season and the Jets are one of them. A lot has been due to the play of Connor Hellebuyck. Through his first 5 starts this season, Hellebuyck has been remarkable. He owns a .948 save % and has allowed just a 1.4 GAA. He’s been one of the best in the league so far and he’ll look to keep the good times rolling tonight against a Kraken team that has been about average to start to the year, scoring a little more than 3 goals per game.

In 4 of his 5 games this season, Hellebuyck has been at or more than 17 DK points. He has a high floor and at his price point, I love that floor. Look for him to be one of the top goalies on the night and the Jets to get their 7^th win on the season.

Frederik Andersen ($7.9k on DK) vs. Calgary Flames

The Calgary Flames are one of the other 4 teams that has not been beaten yet in regulation. That changes tonight as they face off against a perennial strong team in the Carolina Hurricanes. Frederik Andersen should lead the team out on the ice tonight and he too has been really strong to start the season. Through 3 starts, he owns an impressive .939 save % and a GAA of just 1.64.

Andersen is coming off back-to-back strong performances, scoring 21 DK points against an offensive juggernaut in the Oilers and a 20 DK performance against the lowly Penguins (sorry Vecchio, I said what I said). Andersen and the Hurricanes should be able to hand the Flames their first regulation loss tonight.

Other goalies I like tonight will be Darcy Kuemper vs. the Sharks and Joseph Woll vs. the Blues. I’m out on both Shesterkin and Bob tonight as I expect this Rangers/Panthers game to be high-scoring.

NHL DFS Stacks

New Jersey Devils 2 (Meier/Hischier/Mercer) vs. Detroit Red Wings

While the top line gets the attention due to having Jack Hughes on it, I actually like this second unit for the Devils a smidge better. For starters, they’re a bit cheaper. That $1.3k savings will go a long way to building out a strong overall lineup. Next, they’ve been putting up similar numbers to the top line and we’ll be able to get them at a much lower ownership as people tend to pay up for the stars and Jack Hughes is a star. Both Hischier and Meier have combined for 12 points over the last 5 games and have taken a combined 36 shots on net.

Don’t get me wrong though, if you have the extra cash lying around the top line is also very much in play. Although Detroit is giving up only 2.83 goals per game, they’ve been playing above their means as they have an xGA 3.64. Of all the teams playing tonight, no one has given up more shots on goal per game than them and only the Sharks have given up more scoring chances than them. The Devils have one of the highest implied goal totals on the night and I expect them to be one of the top scoring teams on this slate. Again, both of the top lines are in play but I’m favoring the second unit to be a bit different than the field.

Los Angeles Kings 3 (Turcotte/Foegele/Laferriere) vs. San Jose Sharks

As was the case last year, the Sharks have been miserable to start the season. Through 7 games, they are 0-5-2 and will almost certainly be 0-6-2 after tonight. They have an already impressive -16 goal differential, the worst mark in the league. They’re giving up 4 goals per game, nearly 34 scoring chances per game, and more than 13 high-danger chances per game. If there’s a defensive stat, they are near the league bottom. This third line for the Kings has been their most productive line so far.

Over their last 5 games, this line has combined for 6 goals and 9 points. They also rank 2,3, and 4 on the team in terms of scoring chances over those 5 games. They are also super cheap, costing us less than $10k as a unit. This will mean we can spend up on a D man or 2 as we’ll have some extra cash lying around. While this third line is my preference, I also do like the top 2 lines as well. Kevin Fiala has been arguably their best player to start the season.

Other stacks I like tonight will NYR 11 and 2, Dal 1, Tor 1 and 2, TB 1, FLA 1, Col 1, Utah 1, and WPG 1 and 2.

NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and Fanduel (Dec 30)

Jared Levitt 1 year ago

written by Jared Levitt

Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot, where I’ll go through the top NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel.

It’s Saturday and that means we have ourselves a nice-sized slate of NHL DFS. Tonight, the NHL schedule makers have blessed us with a very manageable 7 games. While it’s manageable, it’s a tough slate on paper as there are really only 2-3 games that have blowout potential per Vegas. We have a bunch of teams battling that are close in the standings.

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

NHL DFS Goalies

Jake Allen vs. Florida Panthers

If you’ve followed my writings, you know that the one thing I love to do is chase cheap goaltending. Tonight will be no different as I’m going to be chasing Jake Allen tonight. Allen hasn’t played much over the last few weeks, just 2 games to be exact. In those 2 games, however, he’s been very solid with a .938 save % and just a 2.01 GAA. Those are great numbers, and they’re even better when you factor in his $7k price tag.

Is he a sure thing? Very far from it. The Florida Panthers are a dynamic offense that can score in bunches. Just take last night against the Rangers for instance as they scored 4 against Quick. That said, they played a tough one last night and could be a little tired tonight. I’m willing to take the chance with a $7k goaltender this evening. He’s best reserved for GPP’s.

Joel Hofer vs. Pittsburgh Penguins

Staying with the theme of cheap goaltending, I’m going to bring Joel Hofer into my bin of goaltenders tonight. He too checks off some boxes for me. He’s cheap and playing extremely well right now. Over the last 3 weeks, Hofer has played in 3 games. He’s posted a .966 save % and has allowed just 1.22 goals per game. For a goaltender that’s just $7.1k tonight on DK, those are exceptional numbers.

Like Allen, he doesn’t come without risks this evening. Pittsburgh is playing some of their best hockey of the season as they’ve gone 3-1-1 over their last 5, while scoring 3.2 goals per game. Something working in Hofer’s favor though is that they are also taking around 32 shots per game. That means he’ll have a great chance of returning value in this one. He’s also best reserved for GPP’s.

Other goalies: Pyotr Kochetkov and Anthony Stolarz

NHL DFS Stacks – Main

Pittsburgh 1 (Crosby, Guentzel, Rakell) vs. St. Louis Blues

If you aren’t playing Hofer in net tonight, I highly recommend the top line for Pittsburgh tonight. Vegas has Pittsburgh currently at 3.6 goals tonight and that trails only Florida. The Blues have been about average of late as they’ve allowed 3 goals per game over the last couple of weeks. Nothing awful, but this shows that the Penguins can squeak a few by the Blues tonight in this one.

This top line for Pittsburgh has been playing great. Over their last 3 games, they have combined to score 3 goals and have also played pretty strong defensively. They also have a very strong 47 SATF over those 3 games. Only a few lines playing tonight have stronger numbers than them. The player I’ll be building around first in this line will be Jake Guentzel. He’s been the top player as he’s scored 3 and helped on another 3 over his last 5 games. He also has a very strong 23-scoring chances over those 5. He has upside at his $7.6 salary tonight.

Next up I’ll either go full stack with deploying Crosby and Rakell. Rakell’s price tag of just $3.8k tonight will make it much easier to go full stack and that’s how I’m trending right now. Both Rakell and Crosby have very similar numbers over their last 5, making it easier to make the full stack viable. 18 scoring chances over 5 games for a guy that’s below $4k is very strong.

Carolina 1 (Aho, Svechnikov, Teravainen) vs. Toronto Maple Leafs

Vegas has this game fairly close, with the Maple Leafs having a slight edge in goals with 3.4 for them vs. 3.3 for the Hurricanes. I just don’t see it. I see Carolina taking this one tonight with ease. The Maple Leafs are coming off a brutal loss last night to the Blue Jackets in 6-5 OT thriller. They are just not a good defensive team. Over the last 2 weeks, they’ve averaged giving up over 4 goals per game. That’s horrendous, and it very much brings the Hurricanes into play tonight.

My lean right now is this top line for Carolina. They’ve been good over the last 3 games, scoring a combined 3 goals. If we go out a little further, we have to love what we see out of Svechnikov as he has 5 goals and 3 assists over his last 5 games. He’s also been taking on average 3 shots on net per game. He’ll be my core to this Hurricanes stack as his price tag of $5.2 is very fair this evening.

The leader of this line though is Sebastion Aho. He’s been marvelous over his last 5 games. No player skating tonight has more points over their last 5 games than Aho as he has 12 points over those 5. It’s mostly been assists as he has 10 over those 5 games. With his recent production, his $7.2k price tag is also very fair. I may just go in a 2-man stack on this one as Teravainen doesn’t bring much in the way of fantasy production. You could easily bring in someone like Bunting to make it more of a power play stack and he’s also significantly cheaper at just $3.6k.

Other stacks I like tonight:

New Jersey 1 vs. Boston (this Boston team has some holes in their D)

Boston 1 vs. New Jersey

Florida 1 and 2 vs. Montreal

Toronto 1 vs. Carolina

LA 1 and 2 vs. Edmonton

Edmonton 1 vs. LA

Value D

Matt Roy – $3.9k

Mattias Ekholm – $4k

Hampus LIndholm – $3.2k

Erik Cerniak – $2.7k

NHL DFS Summary

This is a tough slate tonight and one that I would recommend taking it lightly. With DK contests on the lower end, it’s a night to not go crazy with your bankroll. Both the top lines for Pittsburgh and Carolina fit perfectly tonight if you’re willing to roll out some value D tonight. I will be. Join me for the ride.

NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and Fanduel (Dec 23)

Jared Levitt 1 year ago

written by Jared Levitt

Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot, where I’ll go through the top NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel.

It’s Saturday and that means we have ourselves a healthy-sized slate of NHL DFS. We have 12 games on tap tonight in what should be a high-scoring affair. There are several top offensive teams in glorious matchups tonight. Toronto, Colorado, and Vancouver are in better-than-normal spots and we’ll need to figure out which expensive stack to use.

Let’s dig in and make some money!

NHL DFS Goalies

Jacob Markstrom vs. Los Angeles

We have a collision of 2 things we are looking for when picking a goalie. A goalie that is hot and a team that isn’t scoring much in the way of goals. The KIngs offense has pretty much disappeared over the last couple of weeks as they’re scoring just 2 goals per game over their last 6 games. We’ll want to attack that and we’ll attack with a goalie who is playing very well right now and won’t break the bank.

Over his last 3 games, Jacob Markstrom has a save % of .950 and has given up just 1.35 goals per game. Those are great numbers and with his price tag being just $7.5k on DK tonight, he’s very much in play. In his last 2 games, he’s scored 27.5 and 25.6 DK points. The Kings can explode at any time, but I like Markstrom’s chances tonight to get us value at his current price.

Ilya Sorokin vs. Carolina Hurricanes

The Islanders head to Carolina tonight to take on the Hurricanes. While the Hurricanes are favored in this one, I’m still going to take a swing at them with the Sorokin. Sorokin has been playing really well over the last few weeks and is extremely cheap tonight. HIs $7.1 price tag will allow us some payroll flexibility with the rest of our lineup.

With his level of play of late, we shouldn’t lose any productivity. Over the last couple of weeks, we’ve seen him put up 23.5 DK points vs. Edmonton, 24.4 against Toronto, and 27.9 vs. Florida. He’s been able to tame some pretty potent offenses and should be able to again tonight.

Other goalies: Joey Daccord, Marc-Andre Fleury, and Charlie LIndgren

NHL DFS Stacks – Main

Toronto 1 (Matthews, Nylander, Knies) vs. Columbus Blue Jackets

On paper, there may not be a better matchup tonight than the Maple Leafs vs. Columbus. I normally try to steer away from highlighting an obvious stack like the Leafs, but it’s just a solid spot that I really just need to portray to all of you. Columbus is giving up pretty close to 5 goals per game over the last couple of weeks. They’re also giving up over 15 high-danger chances per game. They are extremely attackable right now and we’re going to do just that with one of the top goal scorers in the NHL.

Over his last 4 games, Matthews has 7 goals and 3 assists for 10 points. He is playing great right now and we’ll want to make sure we have a piece of him in our lineup tonight. He’s expensive so we’ll probably need to find some crazy value elsewhere, but he’ll be worth it.

His line-mates are also very much in play. William Nylander for his production and Matthew Knies for his value. If you’re playing Matthews tonight, Knies is almost a must as he’s just $3.5k on DK. He’s far from a sure thing to get to value, but his price tag alone makes him worth it. He makes paying the $10k so much easier tonight. Fading Matthews tonight is high-risk.

Colorado 1 (Rantanen, MacKinnon, Nichuskin) vs. Arizona Coyotes

The decision we’ll need to make tonight will be which of these top lines do we play. Do we go with Toronto vs. Columbus or Colorado vs. Arizona. My lean right now is Colorado. All 3 of these guys are on fire. While the Coyotes are better defensively than Columbus, this top line for the Avalanche is on absolute fire right now.

Let’s start with the cheapest of the 3 and that’s Valeri Nichuskin. Nichuskin has arguably been the best of the 3 and he’s the cheapest at $7.3k. No one on this slate has more high-danger chances over their last 5 games than Nichuskin at 27. He’s on fire and we’ll want him in our lineups tonight.

The next decision that you’ll want to make is to pick between the starts, Rantanen and MacKinnon. If I had to pick between the 2, I’d side right now with Rantanen as he’s cheaper and can still get us a boatload of points tonight. Over his last 5 games, he has 8 points thanks to his 4 goals and 4 assists. He’s $1,400 cheaper than MacKinnon tonight and that savings will go a long way to helping us build a solid lineup.

Columbus 2 (Chinakhov, Voronkov, Marchenko) vs. Toronto Maple Leafs

I’ve given you 2 high-priced stacks already so in order to build a solid lineup tonight, I also need to give a cheap one. The second line for Columbus will do that for us. All 3 of these guys are below $5k. They’ve combined for 3 goals over their last 3 games and have a SATF of 36. That SATF is actually one of the top numbers of any trio skating together tonight. Only a handful of lines have a better SATF than this line.

It also helps that the Maple Leafs aren’t great defensively. Over the last couple of weeks, they have been challenged on the defensive front. They are giving up pretty close to 4 goals per game and have also allowed close to 36 shots on net per game. A complete game stack here is very much in play.

Other stacks I like tonight:

New Jersey 1 and 2 vs. Detroit

Detroit 1 vs. New Jersey

NYR 1 and 2 vs. Buffalo

Buffalo 1 and 2 vs. NYR

Van 1 and 2 vs. SJ

Value D

Timothy Liljegren – $3k

Jackson LaCombe – $3k

Ian Cole – $2.7k

MIkey Anderson – $3.7k

NHL DFS Summary

This is a great-looking slate that we can take in several directions. The decision we’ll need to make tonight will be who of the top lines do we pick. Going with anyone from Colorado, Toronto, and Vancouver will be a great path to success. We’ll also need to make sure we pick the right value plays.

Make sure to drop into Discord where we’re constantly talking about plays for every slate.

Good luck and hope to see you in the green.

NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and Fanduel (Dec 16)

Jared Levitt 1 year ago

written by Jared Levitt

Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot, where I’ll go through the top NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel.

It’s Saturday and that means we have plenty of games to navigate through. Tonight on tap we have a 12-game slate of NHL DFS. Yes, you read that right. We’ll have 24 teams in action. That’ll mean we’ll have plenty of options to choose from and plenty of value to help us get the top lines we want to play.

Let’s dig in and make some money!

NHL DFS Goalies

Juuse Saros vs. Washington Capitals

The Juice is on the loose. Saros has been playing some amazing hockey of late. If we look at what he’s done of late, he’s going to be clearly one of the top options on the slate. Over his last 5 outings, he’s been at or over 13 DK points in each start. In multiple starts, Saros has been well over 20 DK points.

The Matchup for him is also great tonight. The aging Capitals just aren’t scoring much of late. Over the last 2 weeks, the Capitals have scored just 2.67 goals per game over 6 contests. That’s just pitiful and their start player Alex Ovechkin has now gone goal-less in 11 contests. Don’t look for him to break that streak tonight. I’m going to be all over Saros tonight, even though he’s at $8k. He should get the W and with the way he’s playing, a shutout isn’t out of the question.

Sam Montembeault vs. New York Islanders

If cheap goaltenders are your thing (it is mine), then Sam Montembeault is your goalie for tonight. He’s coming into this one at just $7k, but he’s been playing much better than that price tag and gets a matchup vs. an Islanders team that is on the second leg of a back-to-back. Monty has a .917 save % over his last 4 contests and just a 2.7 GAA. Both are extremely solid numbers.

The Islanders for their part have been taking a lot of shots and that should help Monty even more tonight. Over the last 2 weeks, the Islanders have taken over 33 shots per game. With the Canadiens propensity to give up a lot of shots, this will set us up for the potential 35-save bonus on DK tonight. Which makes Monty even more appealing tonight. Because he’s a risky play, I’d stick him in just GPP’s. That’s what I plan on doing with him tonight.

Other goalies: Connor Hellebuyck and Cam Talbot

NHL DFS Stacks – Main

Edmonton 1 (Connor McDavid, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Zach Hyman) vs. Florida Panthers

No team on the slate tonight has been scoring more goals per game over the last 2 weeks than the Edmonton Oilers. At 4.40 goals per game, they have a pretty decent margin over the next team. A lot of that has been due to the play of this top unit for Edmonton. They’ll get a decent matchup tonight against a Panthers team that has given up over 3 goals per game over the last 2 weeks.

After struggling to start the season, McDavid has been a beast. Over his last 5 games, McDavid has 11 points. Yes, that’s an average of more than 2 points per game. He will cost us an arm and a leg, but I’m 100% ok with that tonight given that there will be value that we can find elsewhere.

Next to him, I’m going to make sure to lock up Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. He’s the cheapest of the 3 on this line, but gives us the value. He’s also been playing great. Over his last 5 games, RNH has 10 points. He’s finally playing some of the best hockey of his career. We can certainly add Zach Hyman to this stack, but a two-man of McDavid and RNH is very much in play tonight.

Buffalo 2 (Dylan Cozens, Casey Mittelstadt, JJ Peterka) vs. Arizona Coyotes

We used him a ton last season, but this season he’s been an attackable goalie. Karel Vejmelka has been statistically one of the worst goalies in the NHL this season. With Connor Ingram being the main guy this season, Vej has mostly taken a backseat. When he’s played, he’s been terrible. On the year he has just a .892 save % and a 3.50 GAA. Just awful numbers for the big guy.

Knowing how bad he’s been playing, I’m going to rock the second Sabres line tonight. Are they a safe play? Far from it. Of the 4 lines for Buffalo, they are probably the best value for tonight. That’ll make paying up for Edmonton 1 a little bit easier. No one on this line is more than $4.8k. My favorite of the 3 is going to be MIttelstadt and Peterka. These 2 have combined for 6 points over their last 5 games. Again, nothing special, but they get a great matchup tonight vs. a bad goalie. There should be some upside here.

Other stacks I like tonight:

Boston 1 vs. NYR (Shesty has been bad)

NYR 1 vs. Boston

Devils 1 and 2 vs. Columbus

Columbus 2 vs. NJD

Toronto 1 and 2 vs. Pittsburgh

Nashville 1 vs. Washington

TB 1 and 2 vs. Calgary

Value D

Mattias Samuelsson $3.1k

Jack Johnson $2.5k

Nick DeSimone $2.5k

Connor Clifton $2.5k

NHL DFS Summary

Keep in mind that the top stocks that I wrote up aren’t necessarily the top lines of the night, they match up to make a solid lineup. Toronto, Boston, and the Devils are all in great spots tonight too, and should be productive. Feel free to pick and choose your spots.

Make sure to drop into Discord where we’re constantly talking about plays for every slate.

Good luck and hope to see you in the green.

NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and Fanduel (Dec 9)

Jared Levitt 1 year ago

written by Jared Levitt

Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot, where I’ll go through the top NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel.

It’s Saturday and that means we have plenty of games to navigate through. The NHL schedule makers have blessed us with a very manageable 9-game slate of NHL DFS. This slate packs a lot of punch. We have some teams in great spots and we also have some games that are going to be boring that we can cross of our list from the starts.

Let’s dig in and make some money!

NHL DFS Goalies

Alex Lyon vs. Ottawa Senators

Alex Lyon has been playing some great hockey of late. Over the last 3 weeks, Lyon has started 4 games for the Red Wings. In those 4 starts, he’s been exceptional. He’s posted a save % of .959, while allowing just 1.25 goals per game. He’s going to have his hands somewhat full tonight vs. an above-average Ottawa Senators offense.

That said, I like this spot for him and so does Vegas as the Red Wings are -130 favorites in this one. With a price tag of $7.8k, I’ll be all over Lyon in both GPP’s and Cash games. He has 4 straight games of at least 15 DK points. Look for him to make it 5 straight games as he continues to play stellar hockey this season.

Juuse Saros vs. Toronto Maple Leafs

The matchup isn’t the best for Juice tonight, but the price tag is and so is his play of late. At just $7.1k on DK tonight, we’re getting a goalie that is extremely inexpensive and one that is playing lights out right now. Apart from his 1 start vs. Minnesota at the end of November, Saros 7 games over 13 DK points in his last 8 games. He should face a barrage of shots tonight against a Leafs team that is taking around 30 shots on goal per game.

There is plenty of upside for Saros tonight at this price. Even if he lets in a couple of goals, it’s not going to kill us at this price point. He’s one of the best value goalies on this slate. With all that being said, he’s reserved strictly for GPP’s tonight.

Other goalies: Thatcher Demko and Cam Talbot

NHL DFS Stacks – Main

Detroit 1 (Dylan Larkin, Robby Fabbri, Lucas Raymond) vs. Ottawa Senators

This is an absolute smash spot for the Detroit Red Wings tonight. The Senators have been giving up around 3 goals per game over the last couple of weeks. In net for them tonight will be Joonas Korpisalo. Korpisalo has been statistically one of the worst goalies over the past few weeks. He’s only played 2 games over the last 3 weeks, but those 2 games have been awful. He’s allowed 9 goals over those 2 games with a save % of just .850. This is the type of goalie that we need to target when he’s in net.

This top line for Detroit is where most of the scoring comes from. Over their last 5 games, this trio has combined for 8 goals and 10 assists. That’s the type of production I love to see and he should really help us get to the top of the leaderboards with the matchup that they have. Outside of Larkin, this line is also very affordable.

Both Fabbri and Raymond are in the low $5k range this evening. They are also the most productive of the 3, making them my priority tonight. You can certainly add in Larkin, but Fabbri and Raymon are my core with this line. Expect this line to have a solid night against a Senators team that isn’t solid defensively right now.

Rangers 2 (Artemi Panarin, Vincent Trochek, Alexis Lafrenière) vs. Seattle Kraken

The New York Rangers head south tonight to take on the Capitals in the nation’s capital. This second unit for the New York Rangers has been a money maker for me this season as they’ve been one of the most productive lines in all of hockey on a consistent basis. They’ll get a strong matchup tonight vs. a Capitals team that has given up 3.50 goals per game over the last couple of weeks. They are also giving up well over 30 shots on goal per game.

Artemi Panarin is the star of the show with this line. He’s been solid all year and is on pace to have his first 100-point season of his career. He’s already up to 16 goals on the year and pacing to have his first 40-goal season of his career as well. The Breadman is so far making a strong case for the Hart Trophy.

Alongside him will be Trochek and Laf. Both guys are playing some amazing hockey and have reveled playing alongside Panarin. Look for this line to continue their torrid play in a great matchup vs. an aging Capitals team.

Other stacks I like tonight:

Buffalo 1 and 2 vs. Montreal

Montreal 1 vs. Buffalo

Toronto 1 vs. Nashville

LA 1 and 2 vs. Islanders

Blues 1 vs. Chicago

TB 1 and 2 vs. Seattle

Value D

Cam York – $4.2k

Mikhail Sergachev – $4.7k

Alexander Romanov – $3.7k

Colton Parayko – $4.3k

Ben Chiarot – $3.3k

Mattias Samuelsson – $3.2k

NHL DFS Summary

We have a solid slate tonight. I didn’t mention them in my top stacks, but I love this spot for Los Angeles tonight. Especially the second line of Danault, Fiala, and Moore.

NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and Fanduel (Dec 2)

Jared Levitt 1 year ago

written by Jared Levitt

Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot, where I’ll go through the top NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel.

It’s Saturday and that means we have ourselves a nice slate to look forward to. After just a 2-game slate of NHL DFS tonight, we have 9 games in action tonight. We have some glaring matchups that we’ll be able to exploit. Colorado vs. the Ducks? Sign me up. Detroit vs. Montreal? Sign me up there as well. We also have some other really nice matchups to look forward to.

Let’s dig in and make some money!

NHL DFS Goalies

Adin Hill vs. Washington Capitals

Adin Hill and his Vegas Golden Knights should be able to take full advantage of this matchup tonight. Over the last 2 weeks, the Capitals have scored just 2.67 goals per game. It’s an aging and anemic offense that I’ll target with a goalie who has been playing really well. Over his last 5 games between the pipes, Hill has a .929 save % and is giving up just a hair over 2 goals per game. His numbers are by far the best of any goalie expected to be between the pipes tonight.

At $8.2k, he’ll make a fine addition to your Cash Game lineups tonight. Should Logan Thompson get the nod, I like him just as much at the same price as Hill. Lock and load either of these netminders tonight.

Tristan Jarry vs. Philadelphia Flyers

Both goalies that I like tonight are a little more than I like to spend on my GPP lineups, but in all honesty, they’re really the goalies that are playing the best right now and getting the best matchups. I’m willing to spend up a bit more on goalie this evening and I’ll spend down on my D. The Flyers offense has gone ice-cold over the last couple of weeks. They’re scoring just 2.29 goals per game during that stretch.

Add in Jarry who has been playing lights out, and we have ourselves a goalie that should do well this evening. Over his last 8 games, Jarry has an amazing .928 save %, allowing just 2.38 goals per game. He’s done this saving a little more than 30 shots on per game. Love this spot for him.

NHL DFS Stacks – Main

Colorado 1 (Nathan MacKinnon, Valeri Nichuskin, Mikko Rantanen) vs. Anaheim ‘Mighty’ Ducks

Oh, what a matchup this is for the Avalanche tonight. The Ducks have been just awful on defense of late. Over the last 2 weeks, the Ducks have given up over 4.5 goals per game. That’s a stretch of 6 games that have seen them go 0-6. They should be 0-7 after tonight with a matchup vs. an Avalanche team that is 5-1-1 over their last 7. They’ve scored 3.86 goals per game over those 7 games. Now anything can happen in the game of hockey, but this has blowout written all over it!

I’m siding with this top unit for Colorado tonight. Although they’ve been mostly quiet of late, it hasn’t been for the lack of trying. Over the last 3 games, this unit has an SATF of 44. Only a couple of lines in the sport have a higher number than that. All though shot attempts should lead to some goals tonight against a poor defensive team in the Ducks. The star of this unit is obviously MacKinnon.

But playing both Nichuskin and Rantanen makes this line full. Nichuskin actually leads the way on this line with 3 goals over the last 5 games. He’s also the cheapest at $6.9k on DK. Make sure he’s a part of your Avalanche stack. Going with MacKinnon, Nichuskin, and Makar is also a way to get 3 Avalanche into a stack tonight.

Buffalo 1 (Casey MIttelstadt, Jeff Skinner, Alex Touch) vs. Carolina Hurricanes

If Antti Raanta makes the start for Carolina tonight, I’m all over Buffalo. Over his last 3 games, Raanta has been dreadful. He’s sporting a save % under .800 which is just horrendous. He also has let in 4.72 goals per game. This is essentially picking on a pitcher like Madison Bumgartner. He’s someone that we need to attack any chance we get. I plan on doing that tonight with the top line for Buffalo.

This line has been pretty good over the last 3 games. They’ve combined for 2 goals and a SATF of 42. If more of those shots can get on the net tonight, they should score at least a pair of goals. It’s also a much more affordable line than other successful lines. Tuck is the most expensive at $6.3k on DK. I’ll look to pair Tuck with Mittelstatdt tonight.

Over his last 5 games, MIttelstadt has combined for 6 points and comes in at $4.3k tonight. He’s a great value play who should be in the middle of scoring if this line produces the way I think they will tonight. Skinner is also very much in play with this unit as he leads the way with 21 shots on goal over the last 5.

Other stacks I like tonight:

Caroline 1 and 2 vs. Buffalo

Detroit 1 and 2 vs. Montreal

Ottawa 1 and 2 vs. Seattle

St. Louis 1 vs. Arizona

Value D

Jake Walman $5.3k (not a great value, but he should be priced higher)

Brayden McNabb $4.4k

Cam York $3.6k

Colton Parayko $4.2k

NHL DFS Summary

We have a solid slate tonight. I didn’t mention them in my top stack, but the Bruins are in a great spots tonight and should score a ton of goals vs. poor defensive team in Toronto.

Good luck and hope to see you in the green.

NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and Fanduel (Nov 18)

Jared Levitt 1 year ago

written by Jared Levitt

Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot, where I’ll go through the top NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel.

It’s Saturday and that means we have ourselves a nice slate to look forward to. NHL has blessed us with a very manageable 9-game slate of NHL DFS. This slate has a little bit of everything. We have a cross-town rivalry between the Rangers/Devils and we also have some lopsided matchups such as the Bruins vs. Canadiens. There should be plenty of scoring on this slate.

Let’s dig in and make some money!

NHL DFS Goalies

Jonathan Quick vs. New Jersey Devils

As a Rangers fan growing up, this game might have some extra meaning for Jonathan Quick. Rangers and Devils have long been rivals and these guys typically turn into slug fests. I’m expecting this game to be on the lower end of the scoring range, at least from the Devils side of things. At just $7.6k on DK tonight with Quick, we have a very affordable goalie who for all intents and purposes has been brilliant for the Rangers.

Through 6 games played, Quick is posting a .928 save % and just a 1.98 GAA. These are some of the best numbers of his long and illustrious career. The Rangers have had a long layoff so there might be some rust on defense, but I still think that Quick brings his A-game today and shuts down the Devils. Keep an eye on the status of Shesterkin though on this one because there’s a chance he returns tonight.

Karel Vejmelka vs. Winnipeg Jets

If you read most of my articles, you know that I have an affinity for the Coyotes netminder in Karel Vejmelka. He’s someone that always comes in on the cheaper end of the salary spectrum, but someone that normally performs rather well. Even in the toughest of games. Vejmelka almost always faces a ton of shots and that 35-save bonus is almost always in play for him. He’s in a little bit of a rough stretch as he’s lost 6 straight.

Even with losing that many in a row, he’s still in double-digit DK points in 3 of them. And has only been negative once. At his price, we’re looking for double-dights on DK and that is definitely doable against a Jets team that is averaging around 30 shots per game. He’s always risky, but there’s definitely some reward with him. GPP only.

Other goalies: Igor Shesterkin, Tristan Jarry, and Ilya Samsonov

NHL DFS Stacks – Main

Rangers 2 (Artemi Panarin, Vincent Trocheck, Alexis Lafreniere) vs. New Jersey Devils.

Before the mini-break that the Rangers had, this line was on absolute fire. They should continue with their strong play tonight against a Devils team that has had some poor goaltending. Over the last 2 weeks, the Devils have given up 4 goals per game. Of all the teams playing tonight, that is tied for the second most.

They should have Vitek Vanecek in goal tonight and on the year he just hasn’t been very good. He’s posted a sub .890 save % and a 3.30 GAA. He can be had tonight and it will be music to my ears as the Rangers score a bunch of goals on him.

Since putting Trocheck with this line, they have been brilliant. They have a combined 4 goals over the last 5 games but most importantly, they are firing at all costs. They also have a combined 60-shot attempt on goal. That’s the most of any line playing tonight. The leader of this line is Artemi Panarin. He’s been a beast this season for the Rangers with 8 goals and 16 assists. He’s well on his way to his first 100-point season with the New York Rangers and his career.

Alongside him, I plan on locking in both Trocheck and Lafreniere. I said it early in the year, he’s going to have a monster season. He’s currently on pace for 41 goals which would annihilate his career high of 19. Love this line for a pair of goals tonight.

Vancouver 1 (Elias Pettersson, Ilya Mikheyev, Conor Garland) vs. Seattle Kraken

The Seattle Kraken just haven’t been very good defensively of late. Over the last couple of weeks, they have given up 4 goals per game and around 13 high-danger chances per game. Both are among the worst out of all the teams playing tonight. The Vancouver Canucks should be able to get a few goals past him tonight and I like this top line for Vancouver to do someone the damage. I would not blame you one bit for dropping down the second line of Miller and Boeser. I just like it here at the top just a little bit more.

The main focal point of this top line is Elias Pettersson. He’s the star of the show and the star I plan on locking in with this stack. Over his last 5 games, he’s found the back of the net twice and helped with 4 others for 6 points. He should easily add to that total tonight in an easy matchup vs. a bad defensive team. I plan on pairing him mostly with Ilya Mikheyev. On the year, Mikheyev has 6 goals and 3 apples for 9 points. He should also be able to add to the total tonight. Again, I have no problem with dropping down the second unit for the Canucks tonight. They should also have a strong game and will come in both cheaper an at a lower ownership %.

Other stacks I like tonight:

Boston 1 and 2 vs. Montreal

Calgary 2 vs. Islanders

Pittsburgh 1 and 2 vs. Carolina

Winnipeg 1 vs. Arizona

LA 1 vs. St. Louis

St. Louis 1 and 2 vs. LA

Value D

Nikita Zadorov $2.8k

Neal Pionk $3.7k

Brendan Dillon $3.2k

NHL DFS Summary

We have a solid slate tonight. I didn’t mention them in my top stack, but the Bruins are in a great spots tonight and should score a ton of goals vs. Montreal and Jake Allen. That said, I really love the Rangers tonight against a Devils team that just isn’t as good defensively this year as they have in the past.

Good luck and hope to see you in the green.

NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and Fanduel (Nov 11)

Jared Levitt 1 year ago

written by Jared Levitt

Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot, where I’ll go through the top NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel.

It’s Saturday and that means we have a full slate on our hands. Tonight we have ourselves a really solid 10-game slate of NHL DFS. There are a handful of high-powered offenses that we’ll want to get into our lineups. We also have some really bad teams on the ice that we’ll want to attack. It’s shaping up to be an extremely fun slate.

Let’s dig in and make some money!

NHL DFS Goalies

Connor Ingram vs. Nashville Predators

The Coyotes should be turning over the crease to Connor Ingram this evening. I plan on locking him as my goalie tonight as he fits the bill that I normally look for, cheap and productive. Ingram is just $7.2k tonight and he plays far from a minimum-salary goalie. Over his last 3 starts, Ingram has games of 23, 18.6, and 22.8 DK points.

If he can come even close to that tonight against an average Predators offense, I will gladly take it. With a tag of $7.2k and the potential for points in the 20’s, that’s an extreme value and really solidifies our lineup. Lock and load Ingram tonight.

Alexandar Georgiev vs. St. Louis Blues

If you’re looking for more of a cash-game goaltender tonight, I’d side with Alexandar Georgiev. Georgiev is a little more pricier than Ingram at $8.3k on DK, but he’s also a much safer bet to get the W and perform well. The Avalanche are a huge favorite tonight against the Blues at -255.

I will add though that Georgiev has struggled a bit of late, with 4 consecutive duds. That said, this a solid get-right spot for him vs. a Blues offense that really isn’t all that impressive.

Other goalies: Igor Shesterkin, Tristan Jarry, and Ilya Samsonov

NHL DFS Stacks – Main

Vancouver 1 (Elias Pettersson, Ilya Mikheyev, Andrei Kuzmenko) vs. Ottawa Senators

This line worked out really well for us on Thursday when I recommended them and they get just as good of a matchup tonight against Toronto as they did on Thursday vs. Ottawa. The Canucks will be facing off against Ilya Samsonov. Samsonov has been horrendous. This season he has a 4.11 GAA and just a .855 save %. Both numbers are really bad. He has multiple games this year allowing at least 4 goals and has let up less than 3 just twice in his 7 starts.

He’s someone who will allow the puck to get past him early and often. It’s not only his fault though as the Maple Leafs have not been good defensively. They have allowed well over 4 goals per game over the last couple of weeks and pretty close to 14 high-danger chances. They are a team that, although they can score, they give up just as many just as quickly.

Over their last 3 games, this line has combined to score 4 goals. Elias Pettersson is the anchor of this line and the one that I’m most interested in. Over his last 5 games, Pettersson has been brilliant with 5 goals and 6 assists. Yes, he’s expensive at $7.9k but he’s a star on this team and one that we can often count on to fill the box sheet.

Next to him will be Ilya Mikheyev and Andrei Kuzmenko. Mikheyev is coming off one of his better games of the season that saw him score 2 goals and put 4 shots on net. Do I expect that again from him? No, but with a solid matchup, I do expect him to get in on the scoring. He’s a solid value at $4.4k. Adding Quinn Hughes to this stack is also a smart move. He’s making a very strong case for the Norris Trophy.

Los Angeles 1 (Anze Kopitar, Quinton Byfield, Adrian Kempe) vs. Philadelphia Flyers

Before we start, we’re going to have a little history lesson. Name the team that provided the first win for the historically bad San Jose Sharks. If you said the Flyers, you are right. This is a pretty weak Flyers team this season. Yes, they are coming off a victory vs. the Ducks last night, but they are still a bad team. I plan on attacking them often tonight with the Kings. Over the last couple of weeks, the Flyers are giving up pretty close to 4 goals per game.

They should have backup goal Cal Petersen in net tonight with Hart still nursing a back injury and Ersson playing last night. In his lone appearance this season, Petersen let up 5 goals against this same Kings team.

This top line for LA has been very good. Not only do they have 3 combined goals over their last 3 games, they also have 54 shot attempts on net. That’s more than any trio over their last 3 games. We’ll get to the stars of the show next, but I want to highlight the value of this line. Quinton Byfield is just $4k tonight, but he’s been on a tear and should be priced higher. Over his last 5 games, Byfield has an impressive 8 assists. He’s had at least 9 DK points in 4 of the 5 and if we can get him into double-digits tonight he’ll be an extreme value play.

Both Kempe and Kopitar are the goal scorers on this line. If I can only afford one of them tonight I’m siding with Kempe. Kempe has 4 goals in his last 5 and 27 shots on goal. He’s been great and so has this line. Use them often.

Other stacks I like tonight:

Boston 1 vs. Montreal

Ottawa 2 vs. Calgary

TB 1 and 2 vs. Carolina (tread lightly though)

Toronto 1 and 2 vs. Vancouver (tread lightly, Demko has been very good)

Pittsburgh 1 and 2 (Buffalo is on the tail end of a back-to-back)

Value D

Jamie Oleksiak $3k – Getting a ton of blocked shots of late

Nikita Zadorov $2.7k

Alexadre Carrier $4.2k

Scott Mayfield $3.9k

Sean Walker $3.4k

NHL DFS Summary

On the surface, this is a pretty clear-cut slate for me. Stack the Canucks and Kings. There are certainly other spots for offense tonight, but I’m really digging those spots and you should too!

Good luck and hope to see you in the green.

NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks for DraftKings and Fanduel (Oct 28)

Jared Levitt 2 years ago

written by Jared Levitt

Welcome to the Saturday Slapshot, where I’ll go through the top NHL DFS Goalies and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel.

It’s Saturday and that means it’s time for the Saturday Slapshot! We have a solid-looking 7-game slate of NHL DFS tonight. For a Saturday, it’s one of our more manageable slates. We have some great teams in action, including the undefeated Vegas Golden Knights. Can they move to 8-0 vs. a decent Los Angeles Kings team? We’ll have to wait until very late to find out. There’s also a solid matchup between 2 5-2 teams in the Rangers vs. Canucks. This slate is going to be a fun one.

Let’s dig in and make some money!

NHL DFS Goalies

Elvis Merzlikins vs. New York Islanders

Of all the 14 teams in action tonight, no team has scored fewer goals per game than the New York Islanders. At just 2.67 goals per game, the Islander offense has really struggled to start the year. This all sets up for Elvis Merzlikins to rebound after a few rough games against the Canadiens, Ducks, and Wild. After starting out the season with 2 really good outings that saw him score 16 and 19 DK points, it’s been a struggle.

With a matchup vs. a bad offense team in the Islanders, I really like this spot for Elvis. It also helps that he’s just $7.4k on DK tonight. He’s far from a cash game play but since I only play GPP’s (they’re way more fun), he’s one of my favorite goalies on the night.

Logan Thompson vs. Los Angeles Kings

With Aiden Hill getting the nod in net yesterday, the Golden Knights will more than likely hand the crease over to Logan Thompson this evening. The Golden Knights backup goalie has been really solid to start the year. Through 3 starts, Thompson has a 3-0 record and a .933 save %. He also hasn’t been below 17 DK in any of these 3 starts.

This Golden Knights team has so far been very stout defensively, only allowing around 10 high-danger chances per game. This has been huge for their goalies and it will continue to be huge for them tonight. At just $7.7k on DK tonight, he’s another cheaper goalie that will allow us to save a little bit of money for our skaters.

Other goalies: Igor Shesterkin, Tristan Jarry, and Ilya Samsonov

NHL DFS Stacks – Main

Pittsburgh 2 (Evgeni Malkin, Reilly Smith, Rickard Rakell) vs. Ottawa Senators

This ought to excite our long-time NHL expert in @vecchio. I plan on going heavy with the Penguins tonight. So far this season the Senators have struggled with their goaltending. Although they aren’t giving up much in the way of high-danger chances or shots, they are giving up a healthy amount of goals. Through their first 7 games of the season, they are allowing nearly 3.50 goals per game. On just 28 shots per game, that’s horrendous.

In between the pipes for Ottawa tonight should be Anton Forsberg. His save % on the year is a measly .873. Anything under .900 is bad in my eyes and he’s nowhere close to that number. He struggled in his last outing vs. Buffalo, and he’ll struggle again tonight vs. Pittsburgh.

Over the last 5 games, this line has been pretty good. Geno(Malkin) and Reilly Smith are really where my interest is with this line tonight. The 2 have combined for 6 goals and 10 total points over the last 5. Of the 2, Geno is the more expensive but he’s only $6.9k on DK tonight. Smith is extremely cheap at just $4.6k on DK making this lineup very affordable. While this line is my favorite and those 2 are the ones that really stick out, the top line for Pittsburgh is also very much in play. They’re just a little bit pricier and outside of Rust, they haven’t been as productive.

Winnipeg 1 (Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele, Alex Iafallo) vs. Montreal Canadiens

The Montreal Canadiens are a team that is and always will be a fun team to stack against. An original 6 team, they are a team that continues to struggle defensively. Through 7 games, they have already allowed over 100 high-danger chances at 108. That is significantly higher than any other team playing tonight and it’s a number that we need to take advantage of.

In the net for Montreal tonight should be Jake Allen. While he’s been the better of the 2 goalies for Montreal, he’s someone that we’ve targeted quite a bit over the years and I’m targeting him tonight. He had a ton of games last season where he gave up at least a handful of goals.

This top line for Winnipeg is primed for a big night. While they have been mostly quiet over the last 5 games, this line has a ton of talent centered around Kyle Connor. Connor is currently at 4 goals on the season and is very likely to add to that total this evening against a bad defensive team. Connor has just 2 goals over the last 5 but it hasn’t been for the lack of trying as he still has 17 shots on net.

They’ll go in eventually and tonight they will. Alex Iafallo has also been firing at will as he has 15 shots over the last 5 and a team-leading iXG of 2.53. This line is also very affordable as Connor is the only one over $7k tonight. His $7.5k price tag is reasonable for the upside that he has.

Other stacks I like tonight:

Boston 1 vs. Detroit

Detroit 1 vs. Boston (all the talent in the world, but a tough matchup)

Columbus 1 vs. New York Islanders

Montreal 1 and 3 vs. Winnipeg

Toronto 1 and 2 vs. Nashville

Pittsburgh 1 vs. Ottawa

Rangers 1 and 2 vs. Vancouver

Value D

Alexandre Carrier ($3.6k)

Travis Hamonic ($3.1k)

Brayden McNabb ($3.8k)

Adam Pelech ($3.7k)

NHL DFS Summary

This is a fun but possibly low-scoring slate. Most of the teams in action have been pretty good defensively to start the season so we’ll need to be careful of the spots we pick. I’ve laid out the spots I like the most.

Good luck and hope to see you in the green.
