We have a small four-game slate that is loaded with a ton of options to choose from. The Edmonton Oilers, New Jersey Devils and Colorado Avalanche all have team totals above 3.5, so we will see goals tonight. Let’s dive right into it and look at which players you need to keep an eye on when building your NHL DFS lineup.

 

 


Today’s NHL DFS Slate Overview

Before we get into DFS, let’s make some pick’em picks for the night over on Underdog. There are lots of ways we try to fill your wallet over here at Fantasy Alarm and this is just another option. 


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


Kirby Dach seems to be getting back to his normal self. The Canadiens are playing the tail end of a back-to-back and they aren’t a team that shoots the puck a lot, but if their power play can contribute, Dach should be able to get two shots on goal before the end of the night.

Cale Makar is elite and you can’t say otherwise. Colorado’s power play is operating at 39% and Ottawa’s penalty kill is at 75%. I expect to see a healthy amount of power play chances and for Makar to be part of the action.

Jake Sanderson can contribute offensively, but it’s his defensive skills that we are looking at here. He has 23 blocked shots in seven games this season and has blocked two or more in each of his last four games. Considering how many shots the Avalanche can generate, I expect Sanderson to hit the over before the end of the second period.

 

 


 

Sunday SALARY CAP DFS

 

Goalie Of The Day: Jake Allen - NJD

I truly cannot stress how much I hate this pick. The Devils are facing an Anaheim team that is playing their second game in as many nights and they didn’t put up much of a fight yesterday. New Jersey should have no issue getting the win here, but that doesn’t mean Jake Allen is going to hit value. I want to see more from the Devils goaltending tandem and it starts tonight!

 

Play Of The Day: Cale Makar - COL

I can’t stop saying enough good things about Cale Makar. He has finished with 20 or more fantasy points in four of the last five games and continues to just rack up points. His floor is so high, making him a safe bet every night. I think we see Makar finish with multiple points and more than enough fantasy points to hit value.

 

Value Play Of The Day: Viktor Arvidsson - EDM

On Friday I spoke about how Viktor Arvidsson was in a good spot to produce and boy did he ever. He finished with three assists-- his first points of the season-- and a whopping 24 fantasy points. I’m going right back to him tonight. He’s still very affordable and gets us some cheap exposure to Edmonton’s top-6.


Stack Of The Day - COL PP1 (Nathan MacKinnon - Mikko Rantanen - Cale Makar)

As mentioned above, the Ottawa Senators are not very good on the penalty kill so we want to take advantage of that. If you’re going to stack a power play trio, make it this one. I know it will cost you, but it truly doesn’t get better than these three.
