Hello hockey fans and welcome to another day of exciting NHL action here at DFSR. There are two early games today, but for the purpose of this article, we will be concentrating solely on the seven-game main slate starting at 7pm et. There are three teams playing in back-to-back games(WPG,EDM,ARI) and there are some weak defenses to go along with some high-powered offenses in action this evening, so let's not waste any more time and dive right into the picks.
Hockey is back and with it come our NHL projections which help inform these picks every night. When you purchase a DFSR NHL subscription to our base hockey projections you also get access to our brand new NFL DFS suite of tools including full projections, optimal NFL lineups and our Player Lab, which includes filters to help you create NFL lineups for FanDuel and DraftKings for any format. It’s a set of tools well beyond anything we’ve ever had, and something we feel will help our users *ahem* tackle the NFL season.

Opponent - EDM
Proj Pts FD - 15.66 DK - 3.91
Everyone and their ancestors have been waiting for Vegas to hit a giant speed bump, but that may never happen this season and this guy's veteran presence has been huge for the expansion franchise. "The Flower" is 9-2-1 this season to go along with a fantastic .945 save % and an equally impressive 1.74 GAA, and he is 4-1 with only five goals against and two shutouts in his last five games. The Oilers are a mess right now as they've lost three in a row and seven of their last eight while scoring only four goals in their last six games. With all of these things considered, Fleury is an elite play and my favorite goalie in all formats.
Opponent - COL
Proj Pts FD - 15.28 DK - 3.82
We need to separate ourselves from the masses for our tournament lineups and the American tender fits the bill this evening as he should go under-owned against a surging Avalanche squad who although are ranked fifth overall offensively, they dip down to 12th on the road. Bishop has been solid lately with a 6-2 record to go along with a 1.74 GAA and a .945 save % during that span and he is money on home-ice. The Stars are currently -195 favorites so fire this guy up in GPP formats.
Also Consider: Martin Jones or Aaron Dell(SJ)
Opponent - COL
Proj Pts FD - 17.53 DK - 5.15
The superstar center offers a ton of a safety as he has averaged four shots per game in his last ten, but what is really impressive is the upside he has shown as he has three goals, three assists, and 17 shots during his current four-game point streak to go along with points in seven of his last eight(seven goals, four assists). The Avalanche are ranked 21st defensively and the offense runs through Seguin, so do yourself a favor and lock him into every one of your lineups in all formats.
Stack with: Jamie Benn, Alexander Radulov
Opponent - ARI
Proj Pts FD - 14.67 DK - 4.29
It's time to pick on the Arizona Coyotes who are ranked 30th in defense and this will be their second game in as many nights. Couture finally looks to be 100% after suffering a concussion a while ago as he has a goal, three assists, and six shots in his last two games and while he centers the #2 line, he joins some very talented players on the #1 powerplay unit for the Sharks. He is simply too cheap for what he brings to the table and the fact that the Coyotes are bad in all areas, so fire him up in all formats this evening.
PP Stack with: Joe Pavelski, Tomas Hertl, Joe Thornton
Also Consider: Patrice Bergeron(BOS) GPP formats only
Opponent - PHI
Proj Pts FD - 15.59 DK - 4.54
Holy mackerel, this young superstar is red-hot as he has three goals, three assists, and a whopping 20 shots on goal in his last three games and he has 42 points in 39 games so far this season. The Flyers are nothing to be scared of as they rank 17th defensively and Hall plays on the #1 line and the #1 powerplay unit for the Devils. Look for him to find the score-sheet this evening and in my opinion, he is an elite play in all formats.
Stack with: Nico Hischier, Kyle Palmeiri(PP)
Opponent - EDM
Proj Pts FD - 12.99 DK - 3.83
Vegas did themselves a favor by signing this guy to a long-term contract recently and he hasn't slowed down since as he has a goal, two assists, and nine shots in his last two games and points in nine of his last 10, with four multi-point performances. I'm sorry Oilers fans, but your team is bad and their defense is no exception as they're ranked 24th in that category and they have given up two goals in the first five minutes in Arizona as I write this. Marchessault plays on the top line and the #1 powerplay unit for the Golden Knights and expect a goal fest here for the home team, so with all of these things considered, he is an elite play in all formats.
Stack with: William Karlsson, Reilly Smith
Opponent - MIN
Proj Pts FD - 9.27 DK - 2.74
While safety may be an issue here as he averages only 1.6 shots per game, Perreault offers a decent amount of upside on the #2 line and the #2 powerplay unit for the Jets and these two teams almost always have high scoring affairs. The French-Canadian winger has an impressive powerplay goal, two assists, and four shots in his last two games, so he could have a big game tonight against an average Wild defense. Perreault is a solid GPP play on both sites and he can also be considered in cash games on FanDuel as he doesn't need to do much to reach value at only $3900.
Stack with: Brian Little, Nikolaj Ehlers
Also Consider: Tanner Pearson(LA)
DEFENSEMEN
Opponent - ARI
Proj Pts FD - 16.86 DK - 5.1
Some players are very tough to fade at certain times and "Burnsy" is currently one of them and he has been on an absolute tear lately as he is on a current four-game streak with a goal and three assists to go along with a whopping 26 shots and three blocks during that span. His floor is the highest of any player at any position currently and with the juicy matchup on tap, his upside is through the roof, so make sure you find a way to fit him to all of your lineups in every single format this evening.
Opponent - DAL
Proj Pts FD - 7.45 DK - 2.12
Most people don't know who this guy is, but now is the time to get on board while is he still listed at these cheap prices on both sites. The veteran scored a goal last game and he has 10 shots and 17 blocks in his last four, and a crazy 44 blocks in his last nine, so fire him up in your cash game lineups and spend up elsewhere this evening.
Also Consider: Jacob Trouba(WPG), Ivan Provorov(PHI)
