Welcome to Tuesday’s ten-game NHL Slate. We have many elite options to choose from, but we need to ensure that we are also targeting value. There are also some goalies that we need to keep an eye on because they could help us take down a GPP. You can build daily fantasy hockey lineups on DraftKings, FanDuel, and Yahoo Fantasy for Tuesday, November 28th, 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 at the daily fantasy hockey top plays for tonight's NHL DFS Showdown slate. 

 

NHL DFS Playbook November 28th

DFS Lineup Construction Thoughts

A large NHL slate means we have to make some tough choices. Do we pay up for Connor McDavid? Can we spend up on a goalie? Do we do one main four-man stack or go with two mini-stacks? So many questions, but we will break them all down below. Let’s take a look at which players we need to be targeting.

 

Recommended DFS Starting Goalies

Top Options for Saves

Juuse Saros Vs. Pittsburgh Penguins

Joseph Woll Vs. Florida Panthers

John Gibson Vs. Vancouver Canucks

 

Best Odds for a Win

Thatcher Demko Vs. Anaheim Ducks

Philipp Grubauer Vs. Chicago Blackhawks

Vitek Vanecek Vs. New York Islanders

 

Favorite Goalies to Use for DFS Lineups

Thatcher Demko, G, Vancouver Canucks

Nothing complicated about Thatcher Demko tonight. The Canucks are an elite hockey team and the Ducks have fallen apart since their strong start to the year. Demko is an elite option on a large slate and worth every dollar.

Joseph Woll, G, Toronto Maple Leafs

The Toronto Maple Leafs are in a decent spot tonight. Florida is coming off a tough game against the Ottawa Senators yesterday and could experience some fatigue. The Leafs also made some changes to their forward lines, so maybe that gets them going. Joseph Woll has given up three or more goals in his last four games, but I still think he’s good enough in this spot at his price tag.

Jordan Binnington, G, St. Louis Blues

I have no idea why the Minnesota Wild are favourites tonight. They are a mess defensively and just fired their head coach. Maybe they play a bit better tonight, but are they all of a sudden going to be elite? God no. The Blues do struggle a tad on the road, but Jordan Binnington has been decent this season and I love his cheap price tag. Don’t take the Minnesota bait.

Petr Mrazek, G, Chicago Blackhawks

You want me to trust the Seattle Kraken and their 2.77 goals per game to score goals tonight? That’s a hard no. I get the Blackhawks aren’t a great hockey team but Seattle can’t score goals and they don’t shoot the puck. Petr Mrazek is $7000 on DK and I’ll gladly take the upside with him.

 

Recommended DFS Skaters

Highest Expected Goal Totals 


Vancouver Canucks  Vs John Gibson (4.1)

Seattle Kraken Vs. Petr Mrazek (3.8)

New Jersey Devils Vs. Ilya Sorokin (3.7)

 

Favorite Skaters to Use for DFS Lineups

Connor McDavid, C, Edmonton Oilers

This is a tough matchup for Connor McDavid, but the greatest player in the NHL right now has nine points in his last two games and is terrorizing his opponents. If you think he’s legit, you can go ahead and play him.

Connor Bedard, C, Chicago Blackhawks

I refuse to believe that the Seattle Kraken are going to be good tonight. They don’t score goals and Philipp Grubauer can’t stop the puck. Connor Bedard is an elite hockey player and I love his upside tonight. 

Brock Boeser, W, Vancouver Canucks

Brock Boeser has two goals and 11 shots on goal in the last two games and is ONLY $7000 on DK. He’s up to 15 goals on the season and has an elite matchup against Anaheim. I can’t think of a reason not to play him.

Pavel Buchnevich, W, St. Louis Blues

St. Louis doesn’t have a great offence but Pavel Buchnevich is still producing. He has 13 points in the last ten games and continues to see over 18 minutes of ice time per night. I refuse to believe that Minnesota’s goaltending is going to be solved because of a coaching change so I’ll gladly have some exposure to him and other St. Louis skaters.

Alex Pietrangelo, D, Vegas Golden Knights

If you’re looking for the most value from an expensive defenceman, Alex Pietrangelo is your guy. He’s $6700 tonight--which is a lot--but he is just such a complete player. He finished with SIX blocked shots against Calgary and now he has a date with the Oilers. Shea Theodore is out of the lineup and Alec Martinez isn’t ready to return, so the veteran blueliner is going to be on the ice a lot. He could very well hit value without registering a shot.

Ryan McDonagh, D, Nashville Predators

No team averages more shots on goal per game than the Pittsburgh Penguins, so this is a great spot for a lot of defenceman who like to block shots. Ryan McDonagh plays on the top pairing with Roman Josi and on the second penalty kill unit. He flirts with 20 minutes of ice time per night, so there’s a good chance he will find a way to block at least three shots tonight. Not bad for a player that is $3500 on DK.
