NHL DFS Picks & Daily Fantasy Playbook Today, December 23rd

 

 

 

NHL DFS Pick'em Picks On Sleeper Fantasy

The goals haven't come easy for Sid this season, but the points are still stacking up regardless thanks to his passing. The Penguins overall have seemed to turn a corner and Crosby against the Flyers is one of his favorite all time matchups. In his career of 87 games against the bitter rivals he has 129 total points. 

The cover boy surely needs a wager, right?! Eichel and Vegas get the Ducks coming to town tonight and they allow the most shots on goal per game and their xGA is not great either. Look for Eichel to pile on the stats tonight with a multi-point game in a home environment where he has 21 points over 16 games. 

I have been backing Boldy on shots for most of the season and many more times than not he comes through so let's hit it again! The Blackhawks allow 30.8 shots per game against on the road this season and at home Boldy has collected 52 shots over just 16 games, time to get that trend rolling on this over tonight. 

 

 

 

Monday Salary Cap DFS Picks

Goalie Of The Day: Ilya Sorokin - NYI

Let me start this rationale with the fact that the Sabres who Sorokin is playing tonight have not won a game since before Thanksgiving! You read that right, they've lost 13 straight games so the Islanders and Sorokin getting a win seems like a good wager. 

On top of that though the Sabres score just 2.53 goals per game on the road, so the floor is great tonight for the goaltender. Sometimes you swing for the fences but sometimes you can just play it safe!

Play Of The Day: Jack Eichel - VGK

Eichel is just the model of consistency in DFS as his points per game on DraftKings are always so steady, you know what your lineup is buying. 

Over his last 7 games he has fallen short of double-digit points just once and his floor will be high given the shot volume the Ducks allow, the most in the NHL at over 35 per game on the road. Lock you down some Eichel and build around him tonight. 

 

 

 

Value Play Of The Day: Kirill Marchenko - CBJ

Special set of circumstances to have a Blue Jacket in the value play of the day but playing Montreal will do that (sorry to Chris Morais). 

The Habs allow the most goals per game on the road at 4.14 than any team in the NHL and that makes Marchenko a tasty option at under 6k on DraftKings tonight. Marchenko also has 7 points over his last 5 games coming into tonight so let's see if he can keep on rolling. 

Stack Of The Day: VGK PP1 (Jack Eichel, Mark Stone & Shea Theodore)

One of the best matchups on the board tonight is more than deserving of a stack and why not as the Ducks play sloppy defense and this group of Golden Knights on the powerplay is hitting at 26.9% so far this season which is the 4th best in the NHL. 

Really not overthinking anything in this playbook today so lockdown the powerplay for Vegas here tonight.
