NHL DFS – The Slapshot
Nine games on the slate tonight.
AVALANCHE
MacKinnon – Lehkonen – Rodrigues
It’s not MacKinnon who could kill the slate tonight, it’s the full line stack with $5900 Lehkonen and $5400 Rodrigues which winds up ending everything and those are the two players I strongly prioritize in builds today.
BLUES
Schenn – Tarasenko – Barbashev – Faulk
While they did lose the other night, somehow the Blues managed to get back into the game after a horrific start vs Buffalo. So I’ll go back to them tonight in Arizona where the games like to go over and the hair likes to flow.
FLAMES
Kadri – Huberdeau – Andersson
CENTERS
Big drop off after Nate Mac tonight. He has to be paired with his wingers IMO, but could be faded if you try to get sexy with another full line stack. Really though this isn’t the deep position today.
- Nathan MacKinnon
- Nazem Kadri
- Nick Suzuki
- Evgeny Kuznetsov
- Pierre-Luc Dubois
WINGS
This spot is loaded, lots of anytime goal props here I like.
- Kyle Connor … I would like to apologize to the Sabres for constantly picking on them when they go on the road. But once again, they’re highly likely to give up goals to the opponents top line wingers.
- Arturri Lehkonen / Evan Rodrigues
- Vlad Tarasenko
- Clayton Keller
- Nikita Kucherov / David Pastrnak … The stars usually come out when these two teams face off. Kuch is very good at home and Pastrnak has had lots of success versus the Lightning. Hard to justify stacking these teams but I like both these stars as pay up one offs tonight. The only issue is that this is a STRONG wing slate, so you’ll need them to go hatty to pay off.
- Jonathan Huberdeau
- Jake Guentzel
DEFENSE
- Erik Gustafsson
- Devon Toews
- Rasmus Andersson
- Tony DeAngelo
- Justin Faulk
- Neal Pionk
VALUE
- Josh Anderson … It is me, the Josh Anderson whisperer? Expect heavy ownership here for Anderson at $3900 and on the top line with Montreal as the Wings are 29th overall in the last month vs RW.
- Cole Perfetti
- Jonatan Berggren
Juuse Saros (NSH) … High upside with Saros but obviously heavy risk if Nashville can’t stop Jack and Nico.
Marc-Andre Fleury (MIN) … I trust both goalies in this game, which begs the question do you want to save $1300 and just go with Hart who probably see’s more shots? Or take Fleury who for sure won’t give up more than 2 goals.
Carter Hart (PHI) … Value option
