NHL DFS: The Point Shot Cheatsheet – Wednesday, December 8, 2021

Key Skaters

W Artemi Panarin (NYR)

  • Panarin is red-hot with multiple points in four of his last five games with and he’s priced at just $6,400 in a matchup that the Rangers are going to need to force the issue. Colorado comes in with the highest goals per game mark in the league while boasting the eighth-best power play. I’ll lock Panarin in as the fifth-highest-priced winger on a short slate.

C Nico Hischier (NJ)

  • One of the reasons that Alain Vigneault was let go as the coach of the Flyers is their poor defense and discipline to this point. The Flyers have the highest expected goals against rate per 60 at 5v5 thus far and Hischier ($5,200) is a great value play skating on the top line and top power-play unit. He has points in two of his last four games and has seen two or more power-play minutes in three of his last four games.
