DraftKings and FanDuel Goalies - NHL DFS Picks
Jordan Binnington - DK $7.2K || FD $7.2K

So, there is a chance that Binny might see 50 shots tonight. If he can keep Vegas to 4 goals or less on DK, he will perform exceptionally for you.

DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NHL DFS Picks
Adam Lowry- DK $3.6K || FD $4.2K
Opponent - Chicago Blackhawks
The captain of the Jets and his line always face the other team's top line when playing at home.
Normally, this wouldn't be an ideal situation, but here's the thing: last season, on home ice, Lowry ranked third on the Jets in expected goals for per 60 minutes (XGF/60), sixth in shots for per 60 minutes (SF/60), third in scoring chances for per 60 minutes (SCF/60), and second in high-danger chances for per 60 minutes (HDCF/60).
In the opening night game, he scored 1 goal, had one assist, and took three shots against the Oilers. Tonight, he's up against the Bedard line, which hasn't quite figured out the defensive side of their game yet. Given these factors, I really like Lowry's chances in this matchup tonight.
Love that the bank was open for Adam Lowry last night. Didn’t watch this game live and I’m catching up on highlights rn.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):
- Morgan Frost (DK $4.2K || FD $5.4K)
DraftKings and FanDuel Wings - NHL DFS Picks
Ivan Barbashev - DK $3.9K || FD $5.9K
Opponent - St.Louis Blues
On opening night against the Colorado Avalanche, Ivan scored two goals and added two assists. Despite his impressive performance, his price did not change.
Tonight, he faces a Blues team on a back-to-back who did not look good for long stretches of the first two games against the Kraken and Sharks. This game points to a Vegas eruption. While I am not one to chase past game performances, this matchup is too good to pass up, even against Binnington.
Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):
- Gabe Vilardi (DK $4.9K || FD $5.8K)
DraftKings and FanDuel Defensemen - NHL DFS Picks
Josh Morrissey - DK $5.7K || FD $6.6K
Opponent - Chicago Blackhawks
Until they prove otherwise, I am going to keep targeting the Hawks, and Morrissey is another player I will have exposure to tonight as, like Lowry, he will match up with the Bedard line. Last year, in two home games against the Hawks, Morrissey had two assists and six shots, which would give us a nice 2x floor at his price but with the potential of a ceiling game tonight.
Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):
- Shea Theodore (DK $5.5K || FD $6.3K)
