Welcome back for another Playbook and today's NHL DFS picks! We have a nice, crisp five-game slate to tackle. I love these smaller slates because they force you to really dig deep for value. Picking an elite player is easy, but finding a value play that hits? Now that’s a task.

As always, we must ensure we are getting our goalie pick correct. On a small slate, there is no room for error. We need to get it right so we can have a chance of sniffing a GPP win.

 

 

 

NHL DFS Picks & Daily Fantasy Playbook Today, November 14th

Before we get into DFS, let’s make some pick’em picks for the night over on Underdog. 

There are lots of ways we try to fill your wallet over here at Fantasy Alarm and this is just another option.

 

 

 

NHL DFS Pick'em Picks On Underdog Fantasy

The Colorado Avalanche are dominant on the power play and they are getting Valeri Nichushkin back tonight, making them an even bigger threat. The Capitals are a very good team, but Colorado on the power play can’t be stopped. Makar is quarterbacking that top unit and is in a great spot to pick up a power play point.

Sidney Crosby continues to show everyone that he still has. In a league with so many skilled rookies, the veteran continues to put together a fantastic season. He’s elite at setting his teammates up and that should be on display tonight against a below-average Columbus team.

Speaking of below-average, the Penguins still don’t have a goalie with an SV% above .900. Columbus has lost five games in a row, but they are returning home and poised to end their losing streak. Sean Monahan is a good veteran player, and he is averaging a point-per-game on home ice. I like his chances of finding the scoresheet in this one.

 

 

 

NHL DFS Lineup Picks Today, 11/14

Goalie Of The Day: Justus Annunen - COL

I hate this play, but we can’t ignore the fact that Colorado is going to be a massively improved team tonight. Justus Annunen has had some good moments this season, but paying $8200 for him on DraftKings is a choice. I trust the Avalanche as a team more than him, so we just need them to pick up the win and everything is chill.

Play Of The Day: Nathan MacKinnon

We know that Nathan MacKinnon is elite, but on home ice, he takes that to another level. 25 of his 33 points have come at home and he has a whopping 21 points in the last ten games. He can’t be stopped. I know $10K is asking a lot for him on a short slate, but if you’re going to spend up, he’s the player to target.

 

 

 

Value Play Of The Day: Trevor Zegras - ANA

To say Trevor Zegras is having a down season would be QUITE an understatement. He has three points in 15 games, but he is skating on the top line and top power play unit. The kid is too good to be this bad. Detroit is in town, and they aren’t an elite hockey team. I don’t love Zegras’ price tag but on a short slate, if you have the salary left over, I will take my chances tonight.

Stack Of The Day - VGK PP1 (Nicolas Roy - Tomas Hertl - Jack Eichel)

The Vegas Golden Knights have the second-best power play in the NHL while the Utah Hockey Team are in the bottom half of the standings. We still don’t know if Mark Stone will be able to play, so we need to monitor that, but even if he doesn’t, Nicolas Roy, Tomas Hertl and Jack Eichel is a great bang for your buck.
