We have a tiny three-game Sunday slate, but this will allow us to hone in and stick to a couple of lines. Aside from reading the article, don’t forget to check out our NHL DFS Projection Model which is available every morning.

11/6 NHL Main Slate of Games – Beginning 5 p.m. ET

*All odds and player pricing below have been obtained from DraftKings and are accurate as of the time of writing*

Toronto Maple Leafs (+135) at Carolina Hurricanes (-155) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Detroit Red Wings (+195) at New York Rangers (-230)6.5 Projected Goal Total

Florida Panthers (-205) at Anaheim Ducks (+175) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

New York Rangers Two “Vincent Trocheck ($5,900), Artemi Panarin ($6,600), Alexis LaFrenire ($3,200)

In terms of SATF, the New York Rangers are tearing up the charts thus far this season.

It’s peripheral stats like these that help us determine future scoring to the best of our ability. Given the two options the Rangers offer, let’s roll with the league leaders in SATF, NYR Two. They will be facing an absolute trash can in the opposing net, in the form of Alex Nedeljkovic and his 4.96 GAA. With Detroit on a back-to-back, the Wings will likely be clipped here by the Rangers. Although I’m rolling with the second line, the top line is certainly in play as well.

11/6 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line

Florida One “Aleksandr Barkov ($7,500), Matthew Tkachuk ($8,200), Carter Verhaeghe ($4,600)”

The Ducks have been getting smashed recently. The problem with Florida is that a lot of the production is spread throughout their lines, rather than concentrated. That said, the talent on the top line has finally been shining through a bit. They are currently tied with many others lines for sixth in the NHL in scoring. Speaking of trash cans in goal, with a GAA of 4.58 John Gibson looks like he’s certainly seen better days.

Additional Lines to Consider

New York Rangers One – Mika Zibanejad “$8,400”, Chris Kreider “$6,300”, Kappo Kakko “$3,700”

Florida Two – Sam Bennett “$4,800”, Sam Reinhart “$4,500”, Rudolfs Balcers “$2,700” VALUE LINE

Defensemen

Brent Burns – Carolina $6,000 – Burnsy is having a career renaissance finally free of San Jose and their losing ways. He has had double-digit DraftKings points in all games this season except two. You could pay an extra $800 for Brandon Montour in a better spot. However, using a Carolina defender allows us some third-team exposure in addition to saving a little bit of salary.

Brett Pesce – Carolina – $3,400 – Not off to the greatest start with only three assists across 11 games. However, Pesce’s due for offensive regression given his usual standards plus cheap.

Goalies

Igor Shesterskin – New York Rangers – $8,400 – The most talented goaltender on the slate also playing for the slate’s largest favorite.

Frederick Andersen – Carolina – $8,200 – Almost here by default as this is not the slate to go dumpster diving and Spencer Knight is blah. He should face some decent shot volume and there of course is the revenge narrative in play.

11/6 NHL Best Bet

Florida Panthers 60 Min Line (-140) – DraftKings1 Unit – Seems like Florida might be too much to handle for a struggling John Gibson and company. We also get shorter odds here than for the Rangers against Detroit.

If last night’s two-game slate let you down, it’s time to get thirsty as we have a thirteen-game NHL Thursday on tap. Aside from reading the article, don’t forget to check out our NHL DFS Projection Model which is available every morning.

11/3 NHL Main Slate of Games – Beginning 7 p.m. ET

*All odds and player pricing below have been obtained from DraftKings and are accurate as of the time of writing*

Washington Capitals (-120) at Detroit Red Wings (+100) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Carolina Hurricanes (+120) at Tampa Bay Lightning (-140)6.5 Projected Goal Total

Vegas Golden Knights (-135) at Ottawa Senators (+115) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Boston Bruins (+105) at New York Rangers (-125) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Seattle Kraken (+155) at Minnesota Wild (-180) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

New York Islanders (+100) at St. Louis Blues (-120) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Montreal Canadiens (+175) at Winnipeg Jets (-205) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Los Angeles Kings (-170) at Chicago Blackhawks (+145) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Nashville Predators (+160) at Calgary Flames (-190) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

New Jersey Devils (+135) at Edmonton Oilers (-155) – 7 Projected Goal Total

Dallas Stars (-195) at Arizona Coyotes (+165) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Anaheim Ducks (+140) at Vancouver Canucks (-165) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Florida Panthers (-215) at San Jose Sharks (+185) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Edmonton One “Connor McDavid ($9,900), Ryan Nugent-Hopkins ($6,000), Zach Hyman ($6,700)

I wouldn’t be particularly worried about any one line being popular on a thirteen-game slate. Not surprisingly, McGod and company have been eating early on. The Oiler’s top line is currently tied for second in the NHL with three other lines with seven full-line goals to their name. They also have a juicy matchup tonight as the home favorite in the highest total game of the night, the only game set at 7. All three skaters are members of Edmonton’s power-play unit, so consider another box checked. If there is a drawback, it’s that Connor McDavid’s sky-high pricetag comprises a lot of salary for one player. But hey, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

11/3 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line

Carolina Two “Martin Necas ($5,900), Andrei Svechnikov ($7,600), Jasper Kotkaniemi ($3,000)”

The contrarian line is usually the fun line to write up. While we’re looking for a line that’s off the board, it doesn’t mean we can’t use peripheral stats to our advantage. One of my favorite metrics is SATF which includes all shot attempts, so it factors in both missed shots and blocked shots. I think that analyzing SATF helps us to identify which lines are due for both positive and negative regression in terms of actual goals scored.

Most of the leading lines in terms of SATF are fairly notable. However, as you can see below, we have a relatively obscure line placing third in SATF.

Andrei Svechnikov is a bit of a budding star but I think it’s safe to assume that his linemates tend to go a bit under the radar. I can guarantee you very few people will be playing them with Carolina a +120 underdog against the Tampa Bay Lightning. However, they just could be that line that helps us take down a large field tournament.

Additional Lines to Consider

Dallas One – Roope Hintz “$6,500”, Jason Robertson “$7,000”, Joe Pavelski “$5,300”

Florida Two – Sam Bennett “$4,700”, Sam Reinhart “$4,600”, Rudolfs Balcers “$2,600” VALUE LINE

Defensemen “Goalies covered in Between the Pipes”

Defenseman “high-end” – NONE

“mid-range” – Shea Theodore – Las Vegas $5,100 – He is finally heating up with double-digits DraftKings points in four of his last five games. He has scored goals in two of his last four games and he’s the type of player who goes on streaks.

“mid-range #2” – Alec Martinez – Las Vegas – $4,500 – While he doesn’t have Theodore’s upside, you can save $600 with his teammate. Martinez has double-digits DraftKings points in five of his last six games, so certainly no slouch.

“low-end”Erik Gustafsson – Washington – $2,500 – With John Carlson out, Gustafsson is quarterbacking Washington’s top power-play unit at the dead minimum price.

11/3 NHL Best Bet

Washington Capitals (-120) – DraftKings1 Unit – The model over at our friends at Sharp is showing some edge here. Both teams have a lot of injuries at the moment, but the Caps are the better team.

The NFL may be the main ticket item today for most sports fans, but we still have some NHL. The four-game Sunday slate starts at 7 p.m. ET as the afternoon NFL games are coming to a close. Aside from reading the article, don’t forget to check out our NHL DFS Projection Model which is available every morning.

10/30 NHL Main Slate of Games – Beginning 7 p.m. ET

*All odds and player pricing below have been obtained from DraftKings and are accurate as of the time of writing*

Minnesota Wild (-180) at Chicago Blackhawks (+155) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Toronto Maple Leafs (-180) at Anaheim Ducks (+155)6.5 Projected Goal Total

New York Rangers (-200) at Arizona Coyotes (+170) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Winnipeg Jets (+165) at Vegas Golden Knights (-195) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Toronto Two “John Tavares ($6,400), William Nylander ($6,100), Nicholas Robertson ($3,800)

I just wrote up this line the other night and it didn’t work out. However, there are two teams that I want to target on this slate, the Ducks and the Coyotes. The Ducks and Coyotes have allowed 36 and 37 goals respectively in eight and seven games played. The only teams to allow more goals thus far this season have also played more games. We also get two strong offenses matching up with them in the form of the Maple Leafs and Rangers. Toronto’s second line is salary friendly enough that we can still have some flexibility in filling out the rest of our lineups. Their expected projections offer better per dollar value than the top line.

10/30 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line

New York Rangers Two “Vincent Trocheck ($6,100), Artemi Panarin ($7,200), Alexis Lafreniere ($3,500)”

Like Toronto Two, I previously wrote up this line earlier this season with little reward to show for it. However, they draw a terrific matchup against a defensively challenged Coyotes squad. I think that the salary/upside versus the Ranger’s top line is a bit more balanced than with Toronto. I am not sure if they are truly contrarian, but I also think both Toronto lines and possibly the Rangers’ top line will all be more popular.

Additional Lines to Consider

Toronto One – Auston Matthews “$8,800”, Mitchell Marner “$6,700”, Michael Bunting “$3,600”

New York Rangers One – Mika Zibanejad “$8,300”, Chris Kreider “$5,800”, Kaapo Kakko “$3,900”

Defensemen

Defenseman “high-end” – NONE – Waste of salary

“mid-range” – Shea Theodore – Las Vegas – Theodore has yet to really break out. However, when he catches fire, he tends to get really hot. It’s a tough matchup with the Winnipeg Jets, who have excelled defensively early on. However, that is already built into the price tag. You can also go with Alex Pietrangelo who is seeing top power-play time. However, that extra $1,000 in salary has better uses.

“low-end”Calen AddisonMinnesota – Quarterbacking the Wild’s top power-play unit at a diminished price. Much like Theodore he also helps to satisfy the three-team rule as Addison is not on Toronto or the Rangers.

“Goalies covered in Between the Pipes”- no edition tomorrow so my picks are Logan Thompson – High End and Connor Hellebuyck – Low End

10/30 NHL Best Bet

Chicago Blackhawks “Puck Line/Money Line Combo” – (-155) 0.5 Units/(+155) 0.5 Units- DraftKings

Both teams come in on the second night of a back-to-back. Surprisingly, the Blackhawks have been the better team thus far this season. I think we take the plus odds on the ML here and grab the spread as a bit of hedge hoping the Hawks don’t lose substantially.

Welcome back to the Hot Shot for Thursday Night! There have been some awesome games this week and that trend should continue tonight. With ten games on this slate, we will have our work cut out for us. Aside from reading the article, don’t forget to check out our NHL DFS Projection Model which is available every morning.

10/27 NHL Main Slate of Games – Beginning 7 p.m. ET

*All odds and player pricing below have been obtained from DraftKings and are accurate as of the time of writing*

Detroit Red Wings (+190) at Boston Bruins (-225) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Montreal Canadiens (+135) at Buffalo Sabres (-155)6.5 Projected Goal Total

Edmonton Oilers (-215) at Chicago Blackhawks (+185) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Minnesota Wild (-120) at Ottawa Senators (+100) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Florida Panthers (-200) at Philadelphia Flyers (+170) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

St. Louis Blues (+140) at Nashville Predators (-165) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Washington Capitals (+110) at Dallas Stars (-130) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Vancouver Canucks (+105) at Seattle Kraken (-125) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Winnipeg Jets (+125) at Los Angeles Kings (-145) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Toronto Maple Leafs (-225) at San Jose Sharks (+190) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Toronto Two “John Tavares ($6,300), William Nylander ($6,000), Nicholas Robertson ($3,500)

In the DFS universe, it’s a known occurence that people tend to gravitate towards earlier games in terms of ownership. Many want some degree of certainty, as well as the ability to watch the game. As a result, I think we can grab some lower ownership than usual on one of the best lines of the night. The Toronto Maple Leafs are in a great late-night spot as they head to San Jose as -225 money line favorites. I will rarely if ever use the full top line as a I normally prefer to just play Auston Matthews as a one off if it comes down to it. They do have good numbers so far this season so get an honorable mention below. Furthermore, it is a homecoming of sorts for Matthews, who hails from the greater Phoenix area so don’t mind him individually here.

However, let’s shift to the second line where he have two elite skaters in William Nylander and John Tavares. All this at a more moderate price. Nylander and Tavares are the two priorities of the three linemates and can even be used as a two-man stack as opposed to the full line. However, Nicholas Robertson is also in play and offers some additional savings. I will probably use the full line to weave in his $3,500 salary and open things up in terms of construction. It’s true that this line has yet to really get going and yet all three skaters are averaging double-digit DraftKings points.

10/27 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line

Los Angeles One “Anze Kopitar ($4,300), Kevin Fiala ($5,100), Adrian Kempe ($4,800)”

Believe or not, the Kings’ top line is leading all NHL lines in goals scored thus far into the season.

They should also be totally off the radar tonight, despite L.A. being -145 home favorites. The Winnipeg Jets has outperformed metrics defensively, so this is certainly an exploitable matchup for this line at sub 10% if not lower ownership. All three skaters share correlation on the Kings top power-play unit as well, which is always a huge bonus for any full line. On top of everything else, they are priced more like an ordinary/subpar team’s second line. Overall, they make for a terrific tournament play this evening.

Additional Lines to Consider

Toronto One – Auston Matthews “$8,500”, Mitchell Marner “$6,500”, Michael Bunting “$3,900”

Florida Two – Sam Bennett “$5,200”, Matthew Tkachuk “$7,900”, Rudolfs Balcers “$2,500”

Defensemen “Goalies covered in Between the Pipes”

Defenseman “high-end” – NONE – Waste of salary

“mid-range” – Drew Doughty – Los Angeles – Lots of minutes, on the top power-play unit, blocking shots. He also makes a lot of sense if using the Kings line mentioned above as he correlates with all of them.

“mid-range #2” – Neal Pionk – Winnipeg – The Kings are better offensively than they are on the other end so I think this is a great spot for Pionk. He is priced under $5,000 much like Doughty. Because of his propensity to shoot on goal more, I’m giving him the nod over teammate Josh Morrisey. Morrisey does have power-play time on the top power-play unit as opposed to second unit, as is Pionk’s case.

“low-end”Justin Holl – Toronto – Cheap and playing for a massive favorite. He also plays on Toronto’s second unit so has correlation with the Leafs line listed above.

10/27 NHL Best Bet

Minnesota Wild/Ottawa Senators – O 6.5 (-130) – DraftKings1 Unit – The Senators are allowing nearly three goals and contest and Minnesota well over four. With both offenses playing so well, this sets up as a shootout.

The Hot Shot makes a rare Tuesday appearance as Jon Love is unfortunately on the bereavement list. Be sure to send him your best wishes. With ten games on tonight’s slate, it’s time to get down to business. Aside from reading the article, don’t forget to check out our NHL Projection Model which is available every morning.

10/25 NHL Main Slate of Games – Beginning 7 p.m. ET

*All odds and player pricing below have been obtained from DraftKings and are accurate as of the time of writing*

Dallas Stars (+125) at Boston Bruins (-145) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

New Jersey Devils (-105) at Detroit Red Wings (-115)6.5 Projected Goal Total

Florida Panthers (-245) at Chicago Blackhawks (+205) – 7 Projected Goal Total

Arizona Coyotes (+190) at Columbus Blue Jackets (-225) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Colorado Avalanche (-115) at New York Rangers (-105) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Minnesota Wild (-175) at Montreal Canadiens (+150) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Buffalo Sabres (+100) at Seattle Kraken (-120) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Tampa Bay Lightning (-115) at Los Angeles Kings (-105) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Vegas Golden Knights (-190) at San Jose Sharks (+160) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Pittsburgh Penguins (+135) at Calgary Flames (-155) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Florida Two “Sam Bennett ($5,600), Matthew Tkachuk ($7,800), Rudolph Balcers ($2,900)

The Florida Panthers are the biggest favorite on the slate at -245, despite playing on the road. In part, it is because they are visiting the Chicago Blackhawks. The Hawks are off to a deceptive 3-2 start. However, aside from the Seth Jones addition, they have been depleted of much of their prior talent across the last few seasons. Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews have also lost a step as they continue to age. Furthermore, this is the highest total game on the slate “7” with every other game all set at 6.5. It is a safe assumption that we can expect some goals in this one.

If choosing between the Panthers’ top two lines both have two skaters on Florida’s top power-play unit. Nevertheless, thus far, the second line has put up much better numbers than the first line, as they’re currently tied for a league-leading five full-line goals “as opposed to two”. There is $1,700 savings to be had using Sam Bennett over top-line center Aleksandr Barkov and can apply it towards Matthew Tkachuk, an ostensibly superior player to Sam Reinhart. Finally, Rudolfs Balcers gives us a deep discount at $2,900, just $400 over the minimum salary.

10/25 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line

Columbus One “Gustav Nyquist ($4,100), Boone Jenner ($6,100), Johnny Gaudreau ($7,300)”

Aside from Johnny Gaudreau a.k.a. Johnny Hockey, even in a plus matchup, I wouldn’t expect the Blue Jackets to be “chalk”. That said, as -225 money line favorites, hosting the hapless Arizona Coyotes, Columbus is the second largest favorite on the slate. There’s a 6.5 total here much like in every other game, but most of that should be going the Blue Jackets’ way. All three skaters have additional correlation as members of Columbus’ top power-play unit. Their four full-line goals to date this season aren’t too shabby either, tying them for second in the NHL with nine other lines.

10/25 NHL Additional Lines to Consider

Florida One – Aleksandr Barkov “$7,600”, Sam Reinhart “$6,000”, Carter Verheaghe “$3,600”

Vegas One – Jack Eichel “$5,900”, Chandler Stephenson “$3,500”, Mark Stone “$4,500” (CHEAP)

Defensemen and Goalies

Defenseman “high-end” – Brandon Montour – Florida – Montour has moved up to the first line with Aaron Ekblad’s injury, should see extra minutes, plus he gets time on the second power-play unit. He’s listed here as high-end but salary-wise he is a good $2,000 below some other expensive defensemen.

“mid-range” – Mikhail Sergachev – Tampa Bay – For $4,100, Sergachev has four assists in six games so good value for what many would really consider a low-end price.

“low-end”Damon Severson – New Jersey – Severson is blocking shots as well as grabbing assists so not a bad punt for $3,300.

Goalie “high-end”Adin Hill – Vegas Golden Knights – Excellent 2.00 GAA to start the year and a soft matchup against the Sharks.

“mid-range”Andre Vasilevskiy- Tampa Bay – It’s not tremendous savings but this is the guy widely considered the world’s best goaltender, not much more to say.

“low-end” – Alex Stalock – Chicago – Very strong 2.14 GAA and to expect him to face plenty of shots, that’s perhaps a huge understatement. He is definitely not a cash play but Stalock has tournament-winning upside if you’re fading Florida.

10/25 NHL Best Bet

Boston Bruins 60 Minute Moneyline (+105) – DraftKings1 Unit – The Dallas Stars are off to a strong start so far this season but the Bruins seem to be money at home.

After only three games last night, it’s time for a real slate! The Hot Shot returns to break down tonight’s epic twelve-game slate. Aside from reading the article, don’t forget to check out the NHL Projection Model which is available daily every morning.

10/20 NHL Main Slate of Games – Beginning 7 p.m. ET

*All odds and player pricing below obtained from DraftKings *

Anaheim Ducks (+170) at Boston Bruins (-210) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Los Angeles Kings (+150) at Pittsburgh Penguins (-185)6.5 Projected Goal Total

Dallas Stars (+140) at Toronto Maple Leafs (-170) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Nashville Predators (-130) at Columbus Blue Jackets (+105) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

San Jose Sharks (+200) at New York Rangers (-250) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

New Jersey Devils (+110) at New York Islanders (-135) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Arizona Coyotes (+135) at Montreal Canadiens (-165) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Washington Capitals (-105) at Ottawa Senators (-115) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Vancouver Canucks (+140) at Minnesota Wild (-175) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Winnipeg Jets (+140) at Vegas Golden Knights (-170) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Buffalo Sabres (+220) at Calgary Flames (-275) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Carolina Hurricanes (+100) at Edmonton Oilers (-120) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

New York Rangers Two “Artemi Panarin ($6,500), Vincent Trocheck ($5,300), Alexis LaFreniere ($3,200)

As a very outspoken Islanders fan, when I write up the Rangers, people tend to pay attention. I definitely like the top line a lot as they are strong play tonight behind stellar play from Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider with some salary savings sprinkled in via Kappo Kakko. However, point per dollar, give me the second line consisting of the “Breadman” Artemi Panarin, newcomer Vincent Trocheck and the Rangers’ top pick the year after Kakko, Alexis LaFreniere. Through four games, Trocheck has five points “two goals, three assists”, Panarin has a whopping ten points “two goals, eight assists” and finally, LaFreniere has three points “one goal and two assists”. When considering comparative salary against most lines, the NYR second line seems like quite a bargain. Particularly considering their juicy matchup with the Rangers a heavy -250 money line favorite hosting the Sharks.

10/20 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line

Minnesota Two “Joel Eriksson Ek ($5,500), Marcus Foligno ($2,700), Jordan Greenway ($2,500)”

For my contrarian line this week, I might have got a little Wild. After all, you’re either first or you’re last. I might not even use this line in any part of my top line. It’s the sort of line you throw a small dice roll on. However, the deep discount that you get for a second-line skating for a -175 home favorite in a game with a 6.5 total allows for some very creative builds. Joel Eriksson Ek is the relative star of the trio with three points “two goals, one assist” across the Wild’s three games thus far. Eriksson Ek also centers the Minnesota top powerplay unit. Marcus Foligno has two points “one goal, one assist” and does see a little powerplay time on the second powerplay unit. I don’t mind keeping it at two men here and if so Foligno would be my second in behind Eriksson Ek. The exclusion would be Jordan Greenway, who should be making his season debut tonight. Be sure to double-check lines prior to lock. As of the time of writing, Daily Faceoff has Greenway listed on the second line

10/20 NHL Additional Lines to Consider

New York Rangers One – Mika Zibanejad “$7,600”, Chris Krieder “$6,000”, Kappo Kakko “$3,600”

Boston One – David Krejci “$5,900”, David Pastrnak “$8,600”, Taylor Hall “$5,400”

Calgary One – Elias Lindholm “$4,900”, Jonathan Huberdeau “$5,600”, Tyler Toffoli “$5,100”

Top Individual Plays

Centers – Mika Zibanejad – New York Rangers “high-end”, Nazem Kadri – Calgary “mid-range”, Vincent Trocheck – New York Rangers “low-end”

Wings – David Pastrnak – Boston “high-end”, Cole Caufield – Montreal “mid-range”, Mark Stone – Las Vegas “low-end”

Defenders – Adam Fox – New York Rangers “high-end”, Rasmus Andersson – Calgary “mid-range”, Calen Addison – Minnesota “low-end”

Goalies – Igor Shesterkin – New York Rangers “high-end”, Logan Thompson – Las Vegas “mid-range”, Frederik Andersen – Carolina “low-end”

10/20 NHL Best Bet

Ottawa Senators Moneyline (-115) – DraftKings1 Unit – I am a true believer in this Ottawa squad and think this is the spot that brings the Senators back up to .500 and then it’s infinity and beyond.

Oooooh baby. The Hot Shot is back for the first Thursday of the NHL regular season and there are ten games on this monster slate. We return with tons of new tools at our disposal including the NHL Projection Model which should be available daily by late morning/early afternoon post-morning skate.

Looking at all of the games on the slate and odds below, the Penguins at -365 and Golden Knights at -350 are far and away the largest favorites on the slate. They’re followed by Toronto at -190 in the only other 6.5 projected total game “all others six or less”. Of course, all three teams are in a great spot, but they should also be the most popular. Albeit, I wouldn’t worry about ownership as much as usual given the slate size, as it’s all relative.

10/13 NHL Main Slate of Games – Beginning 7 p.m. ET

Ottawa Senators (-120) at Buffalo Sabres (+100) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Arizona Coyotes (+300) at Pittsburgh Penguins (-365)6.5 Projected Goal Total

Washington Capitals (+160) at Toronto Maple Leafs (-190) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

New Jersey Devils (-135) at Philadelphia Flyers (+115) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Florida Panthers (-130) at New York Islanders (+110) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Dallas Stars (+110) at Nashville Predators (-130) – 5.5 Projected Goal Total

New York Rangers (+120) at Minnesota Wild (-140) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Colorado Avalanche (+100) at Calgary Flames (-120) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Chicago Blackhawks (+290) at Vegas Golden Knights (-350) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Seattle Kraken (+155) at Los Angeles Kings (-180) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Las Vegas One ” Jack Eichel ($6,300), Phil Kessel ($3,900), Reilly Smith ($4,200)

Vegas definitely spreads the talent across their top three lines quite a bit. That said, I like the top line for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, we get an underpriced star in Jack Eichel who might finally be healthy. He looked superb while launching seven shots and scoring a goal Tuesday night in Los Angeles. Reilly Smith is the second most important piece with his dual role with Eichel on the Golden Knight’s top power-play unit. His $4,200 DraftKings price is another bargain all things considered. Finally, there is another cheap add-on in Kessel. This line gives you some solid upside as well as the salary flexibility to spend up elsewhere. As far as ownership, I think Eichel will individually be chalky, around 20-30% owned, but not the whole line.

10/13 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line

Ottawa One “Tim Stutzle ($5,100), Brady Tkachuk ($6,800), Drake Batherson ($6,000)”

I’m a huge fan of this Ottawa team and think it all starts for them in Buffalo. While the second line is temping, the top line features a trio of top power play skaters. Ownership wise they should come in 5% or less but have they similar upside to many more popular and expensive lines. Beginning of the season and all, we do not have tons of recent data but this young line should garner some impressive data and increased name recognition as the season progresses.

10/13 NHL Additional Lines to Consider

Pittsburgh One – Sidney Crosby “$7,000”, Jake Guentzel “$7,800”, Rikard Rakell “$5,300”

Pittsburgh Two – Evgeni Malkin “$6,400”, Bryan Rust “$6,500”, Jason Zucker “$3,600”

Colorado One – Nathan MacKinnon “$8,000”, Mikko Rantanen “$7,400”, Artturi Lehkonen “$5,000”

Top Individual Plays

Centers – Auston Matthews – Toronto “high-end”, Jack Eichel – Las Vegas “mid-range”, Anze Kopitar – Los Angeles “low-end”

Wings – Jack Guentzel – Pittsburgh “high-end”, Artturi Lehkonen – Colorado “mid-range”, Reilly Smith – Las Vegas “low-end”

Defenders – Roman Josi – Nashville “high-end”, Shea Theodore – Las Vegas “mid-range”, Alexander Edler – Los Angeles “low-end”

Goalies – Tristan Jarry – Pittsburgh “high-end”, Juuse Saros – Nashville “mid-range”, Anton Forsberg – Ottawa “low-end”

10/13 NHL Best Bet

Ottawa Senators Moneyline (-120) – DraftKings1 Unit – As mentioned earlier, I love this Ottawa team and while for DFS I’ll lean towards the first line, a bet gives us all of them. For just over even money for being on the road, this is a very fair price on a talented young Senators squad looking to begin their NHL ascent.

Oooooooh baby, it’s game two of the Stanley Cup Final, right here a mile away from where I write in lovely Denver, Colorado. The Avs took Game One in overtime, but the defending champions will be looking to bounce back and even the series. With that said, let’s get down to business!

6/18 NHL Top Plays

Top Play – Andrei Vasilevskiy – Tampa Bay

Vasilevskiy is coming off one of his worst games of the playoffs allowing four goals on 42 shots. However, he is still one of the world’s best goaltenders and should continue facing tons of shot volume here in game two. As a result, he has in my opinion the highest floor and one of the highest ceilings on showdown slates in this series.

Rankings DraftKings “All prices non Captain”

  1. Andrei Vasilevskiy – Tampa Bay – $10,000
  2. Ondrej Palat – Tampa Bay – $6,600
  3. Nathan MacKinnon – Colorado – $10,800
  4. Cale Makar – Colorado – $9,400
  5. Steven Stamkos – Tampa Bay – $8,800
  6. Devon Toews – Colorado – $7,400
  7. Victor Hedman – Tampa Bay – $8,600
  8. Gabriel Landeskog – Colorado – $8,400
  9. Brayden Point – Tampa Bay – $7,000
  10. Nikitak Kucherov – Tampa Bay – $9,200

6/18 NHL Best Bet

Colorado Avalanche Moneyline – (-145) – 1 Unit – DraftKings – Colorado had to take it overtime to win Game One. That said, all night they seemed like the faster more physical team. Tampa Bay just hasn’t been starting off any series very well and they seem to get their legs under them at home before progressing as each series continues. That might be the case here once again as the Avalanche take Game Two in Denver.

It’s time for the second round of the NHL Playoffs! Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar should be chalk but we’re fading. That and more on the 5/17 NHL DFS slate below.

5/17 NHL Main Slate of Games – Beginning 7 p.m. ET

Tampa Bay Lightning (+140) at Florida Panthers (-160) – 7 Projected Goal Total

St. Louis Blues (+180) at Colorado Avalanche (-225) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

5/17 NHL Favorite Lines Per Dollar

Top Line – Colorado Two ” Gabriel Landeskog ($5,800), Nazem Kadri ($5,900), Arturi Lehkonen ($3,000)

With only two games, I think we have to be creative and really consider salary. While Colorado One will be more popular, I think this line is the better play. The ownership difference gives us some edge plus we save a lot of salary. You could always add a piece from Colorado One as a one-off if you want. However, I think with pricing and the Avs status as -225 money line favorites, their second line makes the most sense. Both Kadri and Landeskog give us bargain access to Colorado’s top power-play unit.

Secondary Line – Tampa Bay One “Steven Stamkos ($6,300), Nikita Kucherov ($6,900), Anthony Cirelli ($2,700)”

Going back to the well here as we save a bit from Florida One, who gets to face Vasilevskiy in the opposing net. With Brayden Point absent, Tampa will really need its two remaining attacking stars “Hedman is a star too albeit a defenseman” to step it up. I think you can leave Cirelli off unless you really need further savings, as he has done next to nothing.

Top Defender

Devon Toews – Colorado – $5,000 – Toews is on fire right now with double-digit DraftKings points in four of his last five games and kissing twenty points or over in his last three. However, his price remains unchanged. He strikes me as a no-brainer play tonight on this slate, easily the best defenseman point per dollar.

Top Goalie

Darcy Kuemper- Colorado – $8,400 – The chalk but Colorado is the only big favorite on a two-game slate so it is to be expected. That said, he is returning from a decent absence so he could be rusty. Either way, be sure to correlate your goalie with the skaters you’re playing since this is a two-game slate and all. You probably don’t want to stack St. Louis and play Kuemper, etc.

5/17 NHL Best Bet

Tampa Bay Lightning – (+140) – 1 Unit – DraftKings – I don’t trust him but Sergei Bobrovsky has played better in net lately and Vasilevskiy is Vasilevskiy. I think these teams start off with a chess match in South Florida. That said, that sort of game lends itself to the style of the underdog Lightning, who are still the champions until beaten.

Oh boy! It’s time for some game sevens. I hope you’re ready cause I am. More on the 5/14 NHL slate below.

5/14 NHL Main Slate of Games – Beginning 4:30 p.m. ET

Boston Bruins (+115) at Carolina Hurricanes (-135) – 6 Projected Goal Total

Tampa Bay Lightning (+105) at Toronto Maple Leafs (-125) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

L.A. Kings (+165) at Edmonton Oilers (-205) – 6 Projected Goal Total

5/14 NHL Favorite Lines Per Dollar

Top Line – Tampa Bay One ” Ondrej Palat ($3,200), Steven Stamkos ($6,800), Nikita Kucherov ($7,300)

Let’s roll with Tampa Bay’s top line. Their reputation in game seven and pivotal payoff moments speaks for itself. These are also the Maple Leafs they’re facing. Perhaps the most notorious team in the NHL for falling short in the playoffs, particularly in big moments. I love their general affordability absent any players in the high 8ks, as you see in most other top lines.

Secondary Line – Edmonton One “Connor McDavid ($8,800), Evander Kane ($6,700), Kailer Yamamoto ($2,900)”

Evander Kane put up a salvage job for us with the empty netter last time out. However, we have much higher expectations. No offense to our sizable L.A. King fanbase, but Edmonton should win this series. We spoke of the Maple Leafs and teams that disappoint in the playoffs. Well, on the individual level, Connor McDavid has to do something one day right? On a side note, Kailer Yamamoto is now $500 cheaper, at $2,900 only $400 over the minimum salary.

Top Defender

Victor Hedman – Tampa Bay – $7,000 – I hate paying up at defensemen. But this might the slate to do it and Hedman is head and shoulders above the rest of the pack. He correlates on even ice and the power-play with Tampa Bay One listed above.

Top Goalie

Mike Smith – Edmonton – $8,400 – The expectation is that the Oilers get the job done here. They will need Smith to step up in net. His recent form suggests that he will be up to the task. Otherwise, it will be the same old story about how goaltending held the team back.

5/14 NHL Best Bet

Tampa Bay Lightning (+105) – 1 Unit – DraftKings – As mentioned above, it’s the clutchest team in the NHL, the defending champions against a team to date known at best for choking and not winning anything in a lifetime.
