NHL DFS Picks & Daily Fantasy Playbook Today, March 31st

With the NCAA Frozen Four tournament going through the rounds, schools are being eliminated, and their players are starting to sign entry-level contracts.

This means these young prospects could be in the lineups soon, which offers value and changes the normal forward lines we currently see. Just keep an eye on that. 

 

 

 

NHL DFS Pick'em Picks on Underdog With Promo Code ALARM

The Philadelphia Flyers are FUN! After firing head coach John Tortorella, the Flyers have scored 13 goals in two games! Their young star, Matvei Michkov, has 11 shots and 5 points in those two games. The Flyers have scored 3.31 Goals per 60 minutes in five-on-five situations over the last two weeks, which is the fifth-best in the NHL. 

Valeri Nichushkin has been piling up the shots lately, coming in with at least two shots in nine straight games. The matchup against the Calgary Flames is nothing to shy away from, as they've allowed 58.28 Total Shot Attempts per 60 minutes in five-on-five situations since the start of March, which is 15th in the league. 

Roope Hintz and the Dallas Stars have a 3.4 implied goal total against the Seattle Kraken, who they take on for the second straight game. The Stars have clinched a playoff spot, but seeding is still up for grabs, meaning this is as important of a late-season game. Hintz comes in with 14 points in his last 10 games, including a five-game point streak. 

 

 

 

Monday Salary Cap DFS Picks

Goalie Of The Day: Ivan Fedotov - PHI

The Philadelphia Flyers will have Ivan Fedotov in net tonight and he makes a lot of sense when it comes to lineup construction. The goal tonight is to get Nathan MacKinnon and some Avalanche players into your lineups and they are very expensive. With only four games on the slate, Fedotov has a friendly salary and a good matchup against the Nashville Predators. 

Since the beginning of March, the Predators have scored 1.80 Goals per 60 minutes in five-on-five situations, which is the third-lowest in the league. Do I expect this to be a perfectly clean game for Fedotov? No, but 25ish saves and a win at his salary is what we want. 

Play Of The Day: Nathan MacKinnon - COL

Nathan MacKinnon is the most expensive player on the slate by a decent margin, but he's well worth it tonight. Tied for the league lead with 109 points, MacKinnon is in the midst of another career year, and looking to help the Avs lock up a playoff spot. 

His production has been a touch lower than we'd assume, with only 9 points and 36 shots on goal in his last 10 games, but this is the type of matchup that can help jumpstart him to close out the season. The Flames have allowed 2.81 Goals per 60 minutes in five-on-five situations, which is in the bottom half of the league. 

He's one of only a few players on the slate who legitimately have three-point potential every single night. 

 

 

 

Value Play Of The Day: Tyson Foerster - PHI

As mentioned above, the Flyers are fun right now and pushing the offense forward in the last two games with a staggering 13 goals. Foerster has two goals, one assist, and six shots on goal in those two games. 

Foerster skates on the top forward line and the first power-play unit, for a team with a 3.2 implied team total. The production is on the upswing, and he's very affordable at $5K on DraftKings. 

Stack Of The Day: COL L1 (Nathan MacKinnon, Artturi Lehkonen, Jonathan Drouin)

The Colorado Avalanche lead the slate with a 3.8 implied goal total tonight and we know they can exceed that in a hurry. It's a small slate and it points the the Avalanche being a very chalky option. That has to be mentioned because that impacts how you approach DFS tournaments. It's chalk, but I'm ok with it tonight. due to their scoring upside. 

You could turn this into a Colorado power-play stack by looking to add Cale Makar, but he is expensive, and it can make lineup construction tough on a four-game slate.
