NHL DFS Picks & Daily Fantasy Playbook Today, January 31st
Tuesday Salary Cap DFS Picks
Goalie Of The Day: MacKenzie Blackwood, COL
While Colorado has struggled lately you can only keep a good team down for so long and a home game against St. Louis might just do the trick. Blackwood is a solid option tonight and is due for a bounce back as well after playing poorly in the last 3 starts. That may cut down his ownership which I like.
Player Of The Day: Jason Robertson, DAL
You could definitely go the Colorado route and I won't blame you one bit, but I really love this matchup for Robertson and the Stars as well. Robertson has collected 26 points in 26 games at home this season to go along with 74 shots, so the floor is safe, and the upside is huge!
Value Play Of The Day: Barrett Hayton - UTA
With Logan Cooley out of the lineup right now Hayton figures to see a huge boost in action and playing time on top powerplay line and maybe the top forward line as well! It's a real good matchup against Columbus playing the 2nd leg of back-to-back games as well so Utah will faceoff against a backup goaltender!
Stack Of The Day - COL PP1 (Nathan MacKinnon - Martin Necas - Cale Makar)
