Welcome to another night of daily fantasy hockey with Daily Fantasy Sports Rankings. Another terrific slate with nine games on the NHL schedule on Tuesday. The following six teams are all playing on back to back nights:
- Buffalo Sabres (Road)
- Detroit Red Wings (Road)
- Toronto Maple Leafs (Road)
- Colorado Avalanche (Road)
- Nashville Predators (Road)
- San Jose Sharks (Road)
There are six teams (BOS, PIT, NYI, DET, SJ, FLA) who battling for a playoff spot who enter very favorable matchups vs. teams who are out of the playoff picture. Target these teams in your cash lineups and if you want to be contrarian take one of the big underdogs and stack the top line.
If you have any questions throughout the day be sure to join the conversation in the comments section below. Also, be sure to check LeftWingLock to get confirmation on all of the starting goalies for Tuesday. Now onto the picks.
Goaltenders
Roberto Luongo
Opponent - TOR
FD - 9000 DK - 8300
After a slow stretch following the All Star break, Luongo is back on track winning two straight and three of his last four starts. He has faced 33+ shots in three of those four games giving tons of upside for any format. The Panthers will look to keep things rolling tonight as they sit tied atop the Atlantic Division after another Tampa Bay win last night. Luo gets a favorable home matchup vs. the Leafs who he has beaten twice already this year, stopping 54 of 56 shots for a .964 save percentage. Look for another strong game tonight.
Brian Elliott
Opponent - COL
FD - 9800 DK - 8500
After returning from a month long absence due to injury, Elliot has been phenomenal with three straight shutouts. The Blues defense has definitely played a huge role in the success as they have only allowed more than 19 shots once in those three games. Not to say Elliot hasn't been good because his biggest win was the 37 save shutout of the Sharks on the 22nd. He got a night off last game and is back tonight to face the Avalanche who are playing a back to back on the road. They might have tired legs but should be motivated as they are fighting for their playoff lives in the West. It should be a close hard fought, low scoring game but I feel the Blues are the better team and will come out on top.
Also Consider - Tukka Rask - Boston Bruins @ NJ
CENTER
Sidney Crosby
Opponent - BUF
FD - 9800 DK - 8100
What more can be said about Sid the Kid. He has put the Penguins team on his back in the second half and leads all players with 37 points in 27 games since the All Star break. In those games he has also logged an incredible +21 rating. It is really getting tiresome as a Flyers fan having to write about Sid every time he takes the ice but I am in the business of winning and don't care what jersey my players wear. With Evgeni Malkin out for the foreseeable future, look for Crosby to continue his amazing run through the end of the regular season and into the playoffs.
Stack with - Patric Hornqvist, Chris Kunitz
Aleksander Barkov
Opponent - TOR
FD - 6400 DK - 6600
The Panthers to line has been extremely consistent and all three guys come at a n affordable price. Barkov is starting to heat up again, coming off a two point game vs. the Lightning and has tallied eight points(three on the PP) in his last 10 games including 31 shots on goal for a safe floor. The Panthers get a terrific matchup tonight as they sit as big home favorites the Leafs come to town playing on back to back nights on the road and rank 23rd in goals allowed per game. FLA 1 will be my highest owned stack of the night.
Stack with - Jaromir Jagr, Jonathan Huberdeau
Also Consider - Paul Stastny - St. Louis Blues vs. COL
WINGERS
Joe Pavelski
Opponent - VAN
FD - 7900 DK - 7400
If you have been targeting the Sharks on the road this season you have been profiting nicely so far. You will get another opportunity tonight as they travel to face the Canucks who have plummeted off the face of the Earth losing eight straight games. Pavelski has been on fire recently with points in three straight and five of his last six games. The floor has been extremely high as he has also picked up 26 shots on goal in those six games and added three PP points.
Stack with - Joe Thornton, Tomas Hertl
Patrick Sharp
Opponent - NAS
FD - 3000 DK - 6000
After an injury at the start of March which saw him miss two weeks of action, he has worked his way back onto the top line. Unfortunately for the Stars, it's without the services of Tyler Seguin fr the remainder of the regular season as the injuries keep piling up in big D. Sharp is coming off a two point game vs. the Sharks and gets the benefit of playing beside Jamie Benn. Oh ya and if you are playing FanDuel tonight, they are giving him away at minimum price. Jump on it now as it will be fixed by the weekend.
Stack with - Jamie Benn, Cody Eakin
Also Consider - Andrew Ladd - Chicago Blakchawks @ MIN
DEFENSE
Brent Burns
Opponent - VAN
FD - 7700 DK - 8400
My favorite D man to pay up for this season has been Brent Burns and that gigantic beard. He is coming off another multi point game and now has points in three straight pushing his total to 69 for the season. The floor is extremely high with Burns as he has tallied 44 shots in his last 10 games and has 329 shots on goal for the season. He is always a great option for GPP's as the highest priced D man on DraftKings but is close to safe in all formats with a price under $8K on FanDuel.
Calvin de Haan
Opponent - CAR
FD - 3200 DK - 4100
Normally I only tout De Haan on DraftKings where he has a very safe floor averaging over 3 blocked shots per game recently. He has provided some offensive lately with points in three of his last four games making him a viable option on FanDuel as well at near minimum price. You don't need a whole lot from a punt D man as the elite players you get because of the saving should more than make up for the lack of upside he carries.
Also Consider - Aaron Ekblad - Florida Panthers vs. TOR

stack pit and florida boys, whats everyones lineup
so yesterday the gentleman that won 2k just stacked flyers
I was so close on my Flyer stack on DK to big money. Was just happy to see them win in OT. I love this time of year.
what number did you finish at mate
Had 39.3 pts on DK and finished 204th in the $7K enforcer(3 entry limit).
Had 48.3 on FanDuel and finished 2nd and 3rd in 100 man league and 224th in the $25K Breakaway
Both Pittsburgh and Florida stacks don’t work! Any recondemations for lineups to use
who looks more.promising florida agaonst leafs or pitts
SJ has VAN tonight…..i dont stack to often but im going PITTS tonight.
Florida and Boston is my fav stack
This is a last ditch effort. Doing 3 LUs in a huge Quintuple up. If I don’t win with at least one I’m out for the rest of the week.
L1 SJ1 + DAL (Benn/Sharp/Eakin) with Burns/de Haan and Rask in the net.
L2 FLA (Hubes/Jagr/Barkov) + DET2 with Burns/Braun and Luongo in the net.
L3 PIT1 + STL2 with Suter/Ekblad and Elliot.
Any suggestions?
Going with Murray in goal tonight for pens in every lineup. And tarasenko also
Oops I didn’t realize sharp was 3000. Gotta go with pavelski and sharp at rw and klingberg is 3000 at D.
Thx FD
I agree Ryan. I got murray in net also. With him Haan & Pouliot on D, i was able to get alot of high priced players tonight. I dont know if thats a good thing cause i really didnt stack tonight
Here is what I have on fan duel for cash games and a small tourney. This is after I realized Spezza sharp and klingberg are all 3000. G Luongo LW Huberdeau parise RW sharp Pavelski C Crosby Spezza D Parayko Klingberg
Remember we just have to cash.
Let’s hope the preds start Hutton
My projected score in the system is 44 ish with the lineup I posted. Don’t need to stack in cash games Michael. It can be dangerous. Take sharp and Spezza and klingberg that’s a mini stack and if u wanna take Murray then go big somewhere else.
Luongo is much safer IMO. Bankroll had taken a hit recently so goin big in cash games tonight.
besides detroit and habs projected over 5.5 goals what teams do you think will? i dont have faith in stacking habs
Don’t touch the Habs unless it’s a monster tourney Nate. I can see minny scoring a few vs Chicago. Fading parise is super dangerous tonight. Darling and leighton are crappy goalies. And if u wanna go contrarian in goal, start dubnyk. His record is 4-0 calories the Hawks. He’s got their number.
Versus the Hawks not calories what the hell lol
Here’s my 1 large tourney lineup. most people should catch on to the minimum prices dal guys but can’t resist them. I believe minny will be under owned big time vs chi
Dubnyk parise benn sharp tarasenko
Spezza koivu Burns klingberg
Heres my 2nd cash lineup. I almost always only do 1 but I like both of them equally so I’m Rollin two out tonight. Had to get a lineup with burns in it. And Murray
G Murray LW Schwartz parise RW Sharp pavelski
C Crosby Spezza D klingberg Burns.
They both project around 44 points.
I used zatkoff instead of Murray in the system
murrary confirmed start
im rolling out with:
G Murray
D pouliot & Haan
C Crosby & Haula
LW Janmark & Jussi
RW Pavelski & Tarasenko
whos entering dfkings 30 000 comp?
Rolling with,
Lw Jokinen & Huberdeau
Rw Okposo & Sharp
C Trocheck & Nielson
D Shattenkirk & Green
G Murray (because come on, he’s playing leafs.)
Thoughts?
I’m really trying to have at least two of my three LUs in the top 140 out of 746. I’m high on the SJ 1 and 2. Which two stacks should I be considering? Is stacking even a good idea tonight?
Wow last night was intense. My lineup with luongo lost but i ended up winning all of my games with the Murray lineup thanks to pavelski and Burns getting a few points each in the late game and Spezza and sharp had a few as well. I blew the parise pick but can’t win em all. My tourney lineup cashed me half decent so I won some $$$. Tonight’s slate, 3 games is one of my favs. Few games means less room for error. Go heavy Anaheim with a few other guys to fill your lineups. Anaheims goalie
For cash games, and possibly philly’s or Jet’s goalie
For gpp
