NHL DFS Pick'em Picks On Sleeper Fantasy

Kyle Connor and the Jets are having one hell of a season thus far and they will have another good chance to pad stats and get a win tonight in San Jose against a Sharks team that allows 32.5 shots on goal per game! 3.5 is a fair number on his shots prop but I am not worried in the slightest he doesn't top this number. 

The Capitals did play just last night but this group is rolling in this first half of the season and a matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks is an excellent one. Strome leads the team in points and assists but I lean more towards the assists tonight as the Blackhawks are going to allow goals as they normally allow 3.19 per game. 

I am always excited to back Tage Thompson when it comes to the prop market because he is just such an exciting player to watch! His Sabres face off against the Canadiens tonight and they allow the 2nd most shots on goal per game at 31.7! Should be quick work for Thompson tonight as he loves to fire the puck. 

 

 

 

Saturday Salary Cap DFS Picks

Goalie Of The Day: Linus Ullmark - OTT

You could easily go Connor Hellebuyck here and I would not blame you but I want to be a little different tonight and take a shot on Linus Ullmark who is playing some damn good hockey for the Senators right now. 

In his 6 starts this month of December he is a near perfect 5-0-1 and is holding down a 1.31 GAA and .956 SV%. He may indeed be the hottest goalie in hockey right now. 

Play Of The Day: Nikita Kucherov - TB

As the years go by one thing is a constant for the Lightning and its the play of their star forward Kucherov! In 26 games this season he has amassed 46 points including 32 assists and he is just getting started!

His opponent tonight in the Blue Jackets are allowing the 6th most DFS points per game to right wingers by DraftKings scoring and overall Columbus on the road this season 3.88 goals per game, the 2nd most in the NHL!

 

 

 

Value Play Of The Day: Alexis Lafreniere - NYR

I know what everyone is thinking and yes the Rangers are garbage right now but so are the Nashville Predators and I believe this is a sneaky spot in DFS because everyone will be ignoring it. 

The Predators are struggling on defense right now allowing loads of goals and Laffy is going to be on the top line with Panarin day to day with an injury. Good price tag for a guy that will play on the top powerplay and see 20 plus minutes!

Stack Of The Day: WPG PP1 (Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele & Josh Morrissey)

It should come as no surprise to anyone that the Jets are the stack of the day against the Sharks. Sharks are a dumpster fire again this season and while they aren't the worst team in the NHL they are definitely not far away. The Sharks allow 3.36 goals per game on home ice and nearly 30 shots per game. The penalty kill is also not very good so stack up them Jets people!
