DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks (1/13/25): NHL DFS Lineups

Matthew Tkachuk - NHL DFS lineup picks daily fantasy hockey

Jon Irvin's NHL DFS picks for today's contests on FanDuel and DraftKings. Use Jon's picks to win money playing NHL DFS on 1/13/24.

Hey, RotoBallers! I want to introduce myself formally. My name is Jon Irvin. Some of you may know me from the Discord channels, and you know I love breaking down DFS slates, especially in the MLB and NHL. I enjoy deep dumpster diving, so to speak, and look forward to helping find the low-owned, overlooked, and unwanted plays.

I predominantly play on DraftKings, so some of my picks are more tailored to their point/price system, but a good spot is a good spot regardless of platform. 

Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends. We're so glad you could attend. Come inside! Today's DFS content will be for the main slate for both DraftKings and FanDuel for Monday, January 13th, 2025, at 7:00 PM EDT. Today is a typical Monday three-game slate that leaves us little options so let the digging begin.

DraftKings and FanDuel NHL DFS Picks: First Look Stats

After reading this, jump into the RotoBaller Discord NHL channel and chat about today's slate with all the other great minds. Don’t forget to check out our valuable NHL tools, including the NHL DFS Heat Map. I've begun to implement my personal trend chart. This looks at the average between the L25 and L10, weighing the L10 heavier to help find certain positive or negative trends. 

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Goalies - NHL DFS Picks

Value in net is key on DK with a three-point bonus at the 35-save mark. We can afford to give up an extra goal or two if our goalie can see a steady shot volume against him. Those extra few hundred can get us those top-line forwards.

 Darcy Kuemper - DK $7.2K || FD $7.7K

Opponent - Edmonton Oilers

If fading McDavid and the rest of the Oilers tonight, look no farther than the man in the net facing them. Kuemper has been on a hot streak, allowing only 2 goals over the last 3 games and making over 30 saves twice. Darcy should face steady volume with EDM averaging over 30.5 SF/60 but the Kings' defense could potentially limit most of them to lower danger shots.

Others to consider:   Dustin Wolf (DK $7.8K || FD $7.4K)

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NHL DFS Picks

Morgan Frost - DK $3.8K || FD $4.6K 

Opponent - Florida Panthers

Morgan has been on a heater and sets up tonight to center the top line in Philly. Looking at the standings most would think this should be a cakewalk for the Panthers, but metrics show tonight's matchup may be a much closer battle. Frost shares full PP1 correlation with his linemates giving him even more TOI.

Others to consider:  Yegor Sharangovich (DK $3.7K || FD $5.5K )

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Wings - NHL DFS Picks

Eetu Luostarinen - DK $2.9K || FD $6.7K 

Opponent - Philadelphia Flyers

Et tu Eetu, I'm looking for you to be an assassin on the net tonight, not a stab in the back. Even though Philadelphia has great offensive and defensive metrics, their goaltending has been suspect at best. Luostarinen has found a recent home on FLA2 alongside Sam Bennett and Matty Tkachuk giving him a slight bump in TOI.

Others to consider:   Tyson Foerster (DK $3.2K || FD $6.5K)

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Defensemen - NHL DFS Picks

When selecting defensemen, especially on DK, I tend to find players with a high chance at both blocks and shots and not concentrate so much on point dependency.

Niko Mikkola - DK $2.7K || FD $4.1K

Opponent - Philadelphia Flyers

Miiiikkolaaaaa! Sound the giant alphorn for today's value blueliner. Unfortunately, Niko has been held without a point over the last 5 games but his production has still provided a solid floor. Over the same 5-game span, Mikkola has amassed 9 shots and 14 blocks while reaching over 20 minutes TOI. With Aaron Ekblad on the shelf for tonight, Mikkola should have ample opportunities to pad the boxscore with a few extra minutes.

Others to consider: Nate Schmidt (DK $2.5K || FD $4.3K)

My top-25 defensemen chart focuses more on shot and block peripherals to find a safer floor.
