Welcome to another playbook filled with NHL DFS picks! We have a smaller than normal 5 game slate in the NHL tonight and not going to lie the projected goals are lower than usual with 3 of the 5 games sitting with a total of 5.5 goals. 

With goal scoring at a premium according to the odds makers its paramount that we select the correct players in a small slate like tonight. Check out my thoughts on who those players might be and let's go take down some contests!

Wednesday Salary Cap DFS Picks

Goalie Of The Day: Jordan Binnington - STL

For all the crap I throw at Binnington normally he has played very well since the 4 Nations Faceoff and in 4 starts has allowed just 7 goals and has saved 89 of the last 96 shots. He got drubbed in Dallas is the one exception but doesn't everyone usually? Tonight he gets a Kings team that has struggled lately having lost 4 straight of which one of those games was against the Blues. Look for Binnington to be nice and steady in your lineups tonight is a weird slate for goaltending. 

Player Of The Day: Alex Ovechkin - WAS

The chase continues for Ovechkin of the coveted Wayne Gretzky record of most goals in an NHL career and tonight it has a stop in New York against the Rangers a team that has struggled against the Russian star. In 75 games against the Rangers Ovechkin has 45 goals and 26 assists so he knows them well. Add to that the fact that he's been over double digit DFS points in 4 of his last 5 games and you have your player of the day in DFS!

 

 

 

Value Play Of The Day: Ryan Strome - ANA

Don't look now but the young Ducks have some fight in them right now and have won 6 of their last 10 games including a beatdown of the Oilers 6-2 last night! They are playing real competitive hockey right now and the Canucks should not take them lightly as they could get burned on home ice. Strome is the play for the upstart Ducks as he's under 5k on DraftKings and centers a line between Frank Vatrano and Troy Terry who are scoring all the Anaheim goals right now. The Canucks also allow the 9th most DFS points per game to centers on the season. 

Stack Of The Day - WSH 1 (Alex Ovechkin, Dylan Strome & Aliaksei Protas)
