We have a big 12-game slate to dig through tonight to find our DFS gems. A few matchups stand out right away as games I will target tonight.
Edmonton Oilers @ New York Rangers
Philadelphia Flyers @ New York Islanders
Colorado Avalanche @ Chicago Blackhawks
and a few teams that could be in for a big night:
Nashville Predators
Ottawa Senators (playing Vancouver on a second night of a back-to-back)
Let’s jump right into what could be the DFS game of the night: Edmonton Oilers at New York Rangers.
The Rangers lead the NHL with an average of four goals per game, lead the league with 32 goals at home over seven games, and lead the NHL with 3.63 GF60. We’re not going to fade NY tonight. New York has also scored nine power play goals in 10 games with a success rate of 23.7 percent.
I love the first line tonight:
Jimmy Vesey $5.1K (6G, 3A, 3 PPP, 18 SOG)
Derek Stepan $6K (6A, 3 PPP, 23 SOG)
Rick Nash $6.7K (5G, 3A, 2 PPP, 30 SOG)
and I wouldn’t be afraid of a power play stack:
Chris Kreider $6.6K (3G, 6A, 3 PPP, 28 SOG)
Mika Zibanejad $5.8K(2G, 7A, 4 PPP, 33 SOG)
Mats Zuccarello $5.9K (5G, 3A, 2 PPP, 22 SOG)
Brandon Pirri $4K (4G, 2A, 3 PPP, 11 SOG)
(D) Ryan McDonagh $5.3K (9A, 2 PPP, 22 SOG)
