Welcome to the daily fantasy hockey picks article for DraftKings, FanDuel, and DraftPot for Friday, November 13, 2015. Tonight is a very small slate(4 games) following a big night on Thursday. It will be tough to find enough value to go stars and scrubs and a balanced attack, especially in cash games, is the way to go on Friday.
Lets now dig in to the matchups and find some core plays for Friday night.
Marc-Andre Fleury - Pittsburgh Penguins vs. CBJ *PROBABLE*
DraftKings - $7,700 FanDuel - $10,000 DraftPot - DPPG
Penguins are big favorites at home vs. 21st ranked offense in league. Fleury has started the year 8-5 with a .931 save % and has equal split stats home and away. He is a bit better play on DraftKings where he will only cost you 15% of your salary vs. 18% on FanDuel.
Frederik Anderson - Anaheim Ducks vs. NYI *PROBABLE*
DraftKings - $7,000 FanDuel - $8,500 DraftPot - DPPG
Favorites at home on Friday where he as been better(3-1-3) than on the road(0-4-1). He has been solid to start the year with a .924 save % and the Ducks are starting to trend in the right direction.
Evgeni Malkin - Pittsburgh Penguins vs. CBJ
DraftKings - $7,200 FanDuel - $8,600 DraftPot - DPPG
On a larger slate I would probably be avoiding the Penguins who are ranked 25th in offense to start the year. With only four games and a great matchup I will have more than a couple Pens in my lineups on Friday and Malkin makes a great stacking option with Kessel.
Boone Jenner - Colombus Blue Jackets @ PIT
DraftKings - $4,000 FanDuel(LW) - $5,700 DraftPot - DPPG
A nice salary relief option on Friday who averages 14.5 CF/60 and is coming off a 2 point game on Tuesday. Nice play to differentiate in GPP's on Friday.
Also Consider Pavel Datsyuk - Detroit Red Wings
Alex Ovechkin - Washington Capitals vs. CGY
DraftKings - $9,600 FanDuel(LW) - $10,100 DraftPot - DPPG
He let us down last night in a game where the Caps beat the Flyers 5-2. That is back to back games with no points making this a nice bounce back spot vs. the Flames.
Phil Kessel - Pittsburgh Penguins vs. CBJ
DraftKings - $7,300 FanDuel(RW) - $7,900 DraftPot - DPPG
If you don't believe Ovi will bounce back on Friday, Kessel makes a terrific pivot at a huge discount. He has points in 7 of his last 8 games and has been carrying the Penguins offensively during that stretch.
Tomas Tatar - Detroit Red Wings vs. SJ
DraftKings - $5,100 FanDuel(LW) - $5,700 DraftPot - DPPG
With Datsyuk coming back on Friday, the young guns will form a line(Tatar, Nyquist, Larkin) and have nice upside in a matchup vs. Sharks.
Also Consider - TJ Oshie - Washington Capitals
Kris Letang - Pittsburgh Penguins vs. CBJ
DraftKings - $5,700 FanDuel - $6,100 DraftPot - DPPG
Makes a great D play in GPP's on Friday as he has been awful to start the year with a -11 rating and should be under owned. The upside is that he is coming around with points in 3 of his last 4 games and a nice matchup at home vs. the Blue Jackets.
Jakub Kindl - Detroit Red Wings vs. SJ
DraftKings - $2,800 FanDuel - $4,100 DraftPot -
Very cheap option who is averaging over 2 shots on goal over the last week and has 3 of his 4 points on the year in the last 6 games. He also picks up about a block a game which is a bonus on DraftKings.
