Welcome to Tuesday’s ten-game NHL Slate. We have a massive slate with a ton of great players to choose from, so we need to make sure we are making the correct choices. There are also some pretty good goalie matchups, so we can’t get that part wrong if we want to cash our GPPs. You can build daily fantasy hockey lineups on DraftKings, FanDuel, and Yahoo Fantasy for Tuesday, December 12th, but before you build those NHL daily fantasy lineups, don’t forget to check out our NHL DFS projections, the NHL Value Finder, and the NHL DFS lineup generator. Let's look closer at the daily fantasy hockey top plays for tonight's NHL DFS Showdown slate.

DFS Lineup Construction Thoughts

We have a massive ten-game slate that features Edmonton against Chicago, a goaltending battle between Arizona and Pittsburgh and some new forward lines in Winnipeg. We need to make sure that we are choosing the correct elit forward and maximizing our lineup with high-floor defenceman. There are lots of ways to build your lineup tonight, but here are some players you should be keeping your eyes on.

 

Recommended DFS Starting Goalies

Top Options for Saves

Connor Ingram Vs. Pittsburgh Penguins

Pyotr Kochetkov Vs. Los Angeles Kings

MacKenzie Blackwood Vs. Winnipeg Jets

 

Best Odds for a Win

Stuart Skinner Vs. Chicago Blackhawks

Logan Thompson Vs. Calgary Flames

Connor Hellebuyck Vs. San Jose Sharks

 

Favorite Goalies to Use for DFS Lineups

Stuart Skinner, G, Edmonton Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers are -500 tonight so we can’t ignore Stuart Skinner. He’s the heavy favourite to win and there’s no question that he has the squad in front of him to support him. I get that paying $8600 for him on DraftKings is a lot, but if you’re chasing the win, this is the way to go.

Laurent Brossoit, G, Winnipeg Jets

San Jose isn’t the punching bag from earlier this season, but they are still a pretty bad hockey team. Laurent Brossoit is confirmed to get the start and he hasn’t been that bad this season. He’s not Connor Hellebuyck, but he can still get the job done.

Sergei Bobrovsky, G, Florida Panthers

Sergei Bobrovsky has won his last four games and has given up a total of six goals in that span. He is playing some of his best hockey and the team in front of him is supporting him with a ton of offence. Seattle is a below-average hockey team that can’t score goals, so I wouldn’t worry about rolling Bob out there in all formats.

Connor Ingram, G, Arizona Coyotes

Connor Ingram has given up nine goals in his last two starts, but those were some pretty tough matchups. The Penguins are scoring under three goals per game despite having some of the best players in the world. I get that Arizona is playing the tail end of a back-to-back, but Ingram has been good this season and his $7000 price tag is a steal.

 

Recommended DFS Skaters

Highest Expected Goal Totals 

Edmonton Oilers Vs Petr Mrazek (4.5)

Florida Panthers Vs. Joey Daccord (3.7)

Winnipeg Jets Vs. MacKenzie Blackwood (3.6)

 

Favorite Skaters to Use for DFS Lineups

Connor McDavid, C, Edmonton Oilers

Connor McDavid has 24 points in 12 games at home and has a date with the Chicago Blackhawks. You don’t need me to tell you why it’s a good idea to play him.

Cole Perfetti, C, Winnipeg Jets

Coel Perfetti is playing the wing on the second line but DK hasn’t made the update, so we can take advantage of this. Kyle Connor is out of the lineup, so Perfetti is going to get an expanded role and be counted on to play more meaningful minutes. He’s in a great spot against a weak Sharks team.

Zach Hyman, W, Edmonton Oilers

Zach Hyman continues to produce at a record pace and he could add even more points to his total tonight. It’s comical that we can get him for ONLY $7100 on DK.

Carter Verhaeghe, W, Florida Panthers

I have no issue with paying up for Sam Reinhart, but Carter Verhaeghe is where the value is at. He has finished with four or more shots in each of the last five games and has seven points in that span. Despite all the success, he’s under $6K on DK. His matchup on paper is elite so I’ll gladly back him in all formats. 

Connor Murphy, D, Chicago Blackhawks

Seth Jones is out of the lineup tonight, so Connor Murphy is going to have an even bigger role. He’s going to be asked to go out there and try to slow down Connor McDavid and company. He won’t be able to, but the increase in ice time and opportunity means he has a great chance of hitting value. He’s also a cool $3200, so you can’t go wrong with him.

J.J. Moser, D, Arizona Coyotes

Arizona is playing on back-to-back nights and they face a Penguins team that loves to shoot the puck. Sean Durzi is out of the lineup, so J.J. Moser is going to continue to see a healthy amount of minutes. We know he can block shots and provide some offence, so this is a smash spot for him.
