It's a 4-game slate tonight in the NHL and while that is on the smaller side and the ways to win are tighter, I have broken down the matchups and the top pieces to put into your lineups tonight. 

There are some key injuries going around for a couple of teams and that opens up a bit of value and some line changes to keep note of. 

 

 

 

NHL DFS Picks & Daily Fantasy Playbook Today, November 8th

With so few options tonight, with it being just 4 games the margins are thin but luckily, I have some ways to be profitable after looking deep into this slate!

Without further ado, let's jump into tonight's slate and my NHL DFS picks!

 

 

 

NHL DFS Pick'em Picks On Sleeper Fantasy

The call on Boldy here is a slam dunk as he's been a shooting machine and leads the Wild in shots this season. The Ducks also allow the most shots on goal in the NHL at 35.3 per game!

I went McMichael over Ovechkin on the prop, but I do like the Capitals a bunch tonight as the Penguins just don't play defense anymore. The line of 2.5 shots for McMichael is a great one as he's topped this number in 4 of the last 5 games and Pittsburgh allows the 2nd most shots on goal in the NHL. 

Then finally we have a prop on a goaltender that is having a resurgence in Detroit with Cam Talbot who has a SV% of .929 right now and has been a rock for the Red Wings. The Maple Leafs total offense is down from years past, but they still post around 31.6 per game and without Auston Matthews they will have a harder time scoring on those chances. 

 

 

 

NHL DFS Lineup Picks Today, 11/8

Goalie Of The Day: Lukas Dostal - ANA

At some point the bottom is going to fall out on Dostal right? Right? I have been asking this for some time, but the Ducks goaltender just keeps posting video game level numbers as the Ducks allow so many shots per game. 

It seems like every single game he's over 20 saves and he will get a Wild team that played just last night so maybe they won't be as sharp? Either way Dostal is the gravy train right now and I'm going to ride it tonight. 

Play Of The Day: Jack Eichel - VGK

There are a lot of tough matchups for forwards today and you may see more unders than not on the game totals today but Eichel is not dealing with the problems of the rest of the slate. Seattle is allowing nearly 30 shots on goal per game and 3.21 goals per game, both are far from league worst but not great either. 

Eichel has been up and down most of the season but he has topped 20 DFS points now in 2 of the last 5 games and I don't want to miss the next one as the Kraken allow the 5th most DFS points to centers on the season. 

 

 

 

Value Play Of The Day: Connor McMichael - WAS

All the things I wrote above in the props of the day also apply here as the Penguins defense is terrible and McMichael is having a breakout campaign for the Capitals right now. As of today he sits with 8 goals through 12 games and has scored 19+ DFS points in 4 of the last 5 games, the man is on a tear!

The price tag of 5k over on DraftKings is just way too low to ignore tonight as he has a boom type matchup as the Pens allow the most DFS points to left wingers this season and he will get big minutes on the top powerplay unit. 

Stack Of The Day: VGK L1 (Mark Stone, Jack Eichel & Ivan Barbashev)

One of the best matchups on the board tonight belongs to the Golden Knights and that's why I am stacking my top play of the day Jack Eichel with his linemates. 

As an added bonus they are mostly on the top power play unit as well, should be a great showing from this group tonight.
