NHL DFS Picks & Daily Fantasy Playbook Today, November 29th

NHL DFS Pick'em Picks on Sleeper Fantasy

Brayden Point and the Tampa Bay Lightning should be one of the top targets for many tonight and it's for good reason – the matchup against the Nashville Predators is a great one. They've allowed the 10th most (73) goals overall and the seventh-most (2.79) Goals per 60 minutes in five-on-five situations. Point has seven goals in the five games since returning to the lineup. 

Kirill Kaprizov is a point machine this season with 35 points in 21 games, which is good for the second-most in the league. He has a juicy matchup today against the Chicago Blackhawks, which should allow him to continue his torrid scoring pace to start the season. 

Brandon Montour of the Seattle Kraken is one of the most consistent fantasy players this season and he isn't being talked about enough. With 75 shots on goal through 22 games – 3.4 per game – Montour has 19 more shots on goal than the next-highest player on the Kraken. He's constantly firing the puck and comes in with at least two shots on goal in nine of his last 10 games and at least three in seven of those 10 games. 

 

 

 

Friday Salary Cap DFS Picks

Goalie Of The Day: Jacob Markstrom - NJD

Jacob Markstrom has been a bit up and down for the New Jersey Devils but this is a clear bounceback spot for him against the Detroit Red Wings. 

The Red Wings are scoring a paltry 1.54 Goals per 60 minutes in five-on-five situations, which is the second-lowest in the NHL. While we've seen Markstrom allow two goals or more in eight of his last 10 starts, this is the type of matchup for him to get back on track and put up a solid performance. 

He has a higher salary on both FanDuel and DraftKings, but the win equity is strong, along with facing one of the worst offenses in the league. 

Play Of The Day: Nikita Kucherov - TB

In non-breaking news, Nikita Kucherov of the Tampa Bay Lightning is still amazing and can single-handedly carry your DFS lineup. With 15 total points and 37 shots on goal over his last 10 games, he's one of the most consistent fantasy players in the league, which should only continue tonight. 

He'll be up against the Nashville Predators, who aren't off to the greatest start considering the expectations they have this season. The Predators allow 2.79 Goals per 60 minutes in five-on-five situations, which is the seventh-most in the league. 

You could also make the case that Jack Hughes could be the play of the day but the consistent floor and ceiling combo from Kucherov is too good to pass up. 

Value Play Of The Day: Yegor Sharangovich - CGY

With 4 goals, 2 assists, 6 blocked shots, and a whopping 38 shots on goal over his last 10 games, Yegor Sharangovich is one of the top value plays on today's slate. We've seen his role elevated in the Flames' lineup and now skates on the second forward line and the first power-play unit. 

He's shooting at a very high volume, especially over the last five games with four shots or more in three of those games. That provides him with a solid floor of points and the matchup against the Blue Jackets should give him access to a fantasy ceiling, given their lack of defense this season. 

 

 

 

Stack Of The Day: CGY L1/PP1 (Connor Zary, Jonathan Huberdeau, Yegor Sharangovich, MacKenzie Weegar)

Not only do the Calgary Flames have a great matchup against the Colombus Blue Jackets, but they are very affordable to stack on this slate. MacKenzie Weegar is the most expensive option of these four and if you choose to leave him off the stack, every other player is under $6K on both FanDuel and DraftKings. 

They are up against the Blue Jackets, who are allowing 2.99 Goals per 60 minutes in five-on-five situations, which is the fourth-most in the league. The Flames' power play (17th - 19.7%) isn't breaking any records this season but they certainly have a favorable matchup against the Blue Jackets, who have a penalty kill at 23rd (76.9%) in the league. 

It's a super solid matchup overall and the salary is very affordable, which will allow you to pay up for any other top stack, ie. the New Jersey Devils, the Tampa Bay Lightning, or the Nashville Predators.
