NHL DFS Analysis and Picks for 05/01/24

"I absolutely love the NHL playoffs, and I think the first round is the most exciting. The games are fast-paced and aggressive, and the coaches are always making strategic moves to match up their players. all the series have now switched cities so we get new matchups to try and exploit.

DISCLOSURE: Make sure to monitor the NHL news feeds for the latest player status and injury news.

DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NHL DFS Picks

Matt Duchene - DK $4.7K || FD $5.4K 

Opponent - Vegas Golden Knights

In the first two games of the series, the Stars, and particularly Duchene, did not perform well. However, Peter DeBoer made some changes to his lines, and as a result, we have now tied the series. Even though Duchene and his new linemates did not score a goal in Vegas, they were quite effective. Now that they are back home, they will likely get more favorable matchups, so I expect them to take advantage of that. They are a sneaky line stack tonight.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):

  • Pierre-Luc Dubois (DK $3.7K || FD $4.7K)  

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Wings - NHL DFS Picks

Kevin Fiala - DK $5.6K || FD $7.3K 

Opponent - Edmonton Oilers

Matchups matter a lot in hockey, and in the upcoming game, Kevin Fiala will once again be facing off against the defensive pairing of Brett Kulak and Vincent Deharnais. In the two home games they have played so far, this pairing has been giving up an average of 3.6 expected goals against per 60 minutes, 30.86 scoring chances against per 60 minutes, and a whopping 22.05 high-danger chances against per 60 minutes. If the Kings want to extend the series and take it back to LA, then their third line, especially Fiala, will need to have big games and score a couple of goals tonight.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):

  • Wyatt Johnston (DK $5.8K || FD N/A)

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Defensemen - NHL DFS Picks

Thomas Harley - DK $5.0K || FD $3.9K 

Opponent - Vegas Golden Knights

During the playoffs, some players raise their performance to a higher level, while others will do whatever it takes to achieve a win and selflessly support their teams. Harley is one of those players who demonstrated this attitude by blocking a total of 10 shots in two games in Vegas, five in each game. Additionally, he managed to take a couple of shots himself. It's worth noting that he would be a better fit for a DK play due to the shot block bonus.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):

  • Evan Bouchard (DK $6.7K || FD $7.4K)
