NHL DFS Playbook November 29th
Recommended DFS Starting Goalies
Top Options for Saves
Darcy Kuemper vs Los Angeles Kings
Ville Husso vs New York Rangers
Sam Montembeault vs Columbus Blue Jackets
Best Odds for a Win
Igor Shesterkin Vs. Detroit Red Wings
Pheonix Copley Vs. Washington Capitals
Elvis Merzlikins Vs. Montreal Canadiens
Favorite Goalies to Use for DFS Lineups
Pheonix Copley, G, Los Angeles Kings
Hard to fade away from the Kings on a tiny slate like tonight and seeing them have the best odds to win on the board. We actually don't know the starting goaltender for the Kings just yet so it could be Cam Talbot but either way the goaltending unit is in a good spot considering the Capitals lack of teeth in the offense that scores just 2.33 goals per game.
Igor Shesterkin, G, New York Rangers
The Red Wings offense has been very good this season but right now Dylan Larkin is out and that's a massive blow for them. Enter one of the league's best goaltenders who seldom needs a boost to get the job done but he has one tonight. Red Wings will still pile on the shots but Igor should lock down the gates and head to his 9th win of the season.
Recommended DFS Skaters
Highest Implied Goal Totals
Columbus Blue Jackets Vs Sam Montembeault (3.68)
Los Angeles Kings Vs. Darcy Kuemper (3.53)
New York Rangers Vs. Ville Husso (3.5)
Favorite Skaters to Use for DFS Lineups
Boone Jenner, C, Columbus Blue Jackets
This matchup is the only game total at 6.5 goals for tonight and that should tell you to get pieces of this game locked into the lineup. Jenner has 11 goals this season and the Habs are allowing 3.48 goals per game and the 3rd most DFS points to centers this season, slam dunk play.
Phillip Danault, C, Los Angeles Kings
To be honest you could play either of the 3 Kings centers tonight between Danault, Dubois or Kopitar they will all play well. I am just looking at a more cost effective option who is on the ice a bunch and gets powerplay minutes. The Capitals are very weak down the middle these days too so faceoff wins and possession will be easier to the Kings centers and should lead to more points.
Cole Caufield, W, Montreal Canadiens
Of all the top priced wingers on the slate its this kid and Artemi Panarin that have the best matchups by far. Cole is a little more up and down for my comfort and salary normally but the Blue Jackets allow the 8th most DFS points per game to left wingers and many shots against as well.
Kirill Marchenko, W, Columbus Blue Jackets
Playing on the top line with Johnny Gaudreau and Jenner have its advantages and with 13 points this season so far Marchenko has compiled some nice games. He has 13+ DFS points in 3 of his last 4 outings and the Habs are 2nd worst in the league when it comes to allowing DFS points to right wingers.
Adam Fox, D, New York Rangers
Adam Fox is back tonight and that means the free square of other Rangers blue liners in DFS is sadly over. Fox is as cheap as ever today on DK at 5.2k and the reports are that he has no restrictions and will play his normal role. That role is massive and on special teams as well, fire him up!
