NHL DFS Pick'em Picks On Sleeper Fantasy

The Senators get to take on the Predators tonight and they've hit rock bottom hard. On top of that they are allowing 31.6 shots on goal per game on the road this season so Tkachuk and the Senators should be licking their chops for a high production game ahead tonight. 

Dylan Guenther is the best hockey player in Utah right now and that's not up to debate! He has post 21 points already on the season but I am more interested in his shot volume with 62 shots on goal this season which is leading the team. The Sabres are in the top 10 of shots allowed per game at home too so it makes for an easy play for the young star to record 3 shots tonight. 

Playing any shots prop feels pretty good against the Penguins this season as their defense has been absent in large stretches so let's take advantage with the all-star Auston Matthews tonight. Penguins allow an NHL high 33.1 shots on goal per game on home ice and Matthews will have dozens of chances to fill the stat sheet tonight. 

 

 

 

Friday Salary Cap DFS Picks

Goalie Of The Day: Joseph Woll - TOR

The Maple Leafs goaltending overall has been fantastic this season and its the main reason for their hot start to this NHL season. Joseph Woll is a large part of that of course with his 7-2-0 record on the season and a 2.11 GAA is nothing to scoff at either. 

He should face decent shot volume from the Penguins tonight as they still run a decent offense but their goal scoring touch just hasn't been there. They also played last night so they could be sloppy in the zone and not produce high danger chances. Either way you slice it Woll is my must play in the net tonight. 

Play Of The Day: Cale Makar - COL

I feel its highly unusual to put a blue liner here in the play of the day but Cale Makar is not an ordinary defenseman by any means. The matchup against the Red Wings is a great spot here today for the forwards and Makar alike as Detroit has a knack for shoddy defense. 

The Red Wings are allowing the 2nd most DFS points per game on DK to blueliners this season and with Makar posting over 15 per game he should return value and then some tonight! Build those lineups around this stud and you'll be cashing. 

 

 

 

Value Play Of The Day: Connor McMichael - WSH

It is puzzling the hockey experts this season so far but the Capitals are good and that's a leading the eastern conference in points good at that. Part of the reason for that is the emergence of McMichael who has 15 goals and 10 assists on the season and is nearly a point per game player right now!

He is getting a Montreal team tonight that has been sloppy on defense at times and allows nearly 30 shots on goal per game. Its a back to back for Washington tonight but McMichael is on a roll and playing as much as he can during a hot streak is a great thing for us in DFS. 

Stack Of The Day: NJ PP1 (Cale Makar, Mikko Rantanen, Nathan MacKinnon)

I fully understand that this stack will likely turn your lineup into a stars and scrubs build but I do see great value tonight in just stacking up your Avalanche guys. The Red Wings are a bottom tier defensive team that looks to start Ville Husso and that guy is awful!

Colorado is scoring 3.31 goals per game on the road this season and their powerplay is the 7th best in the NHL at 25.9%! They should get their chances tonight and I am banking on the fact they will cash in for us all.
