Hey, RotoBallers! I want to introduce myself formally, my name is Jon Irvin. Some of you may know me from the Discord channels and know I love breaking down DFS slates, especially in the MLB and NHL. I enjoy the 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. We now have enough data to focus on positive and negative trends by implementing my trend chart where I look at both L25 and L10 to help see which teams are trending in which direction.

Welcome back to the discount rack! Today's DFS content will be for the main slate for both DraftKings and FanDuel for Monday, October 14th, 2024.

After reading this, jump into the RotoBaller Discord NHL channel and chat with all the other great minds about today's slate. Don’t forget to check out our valuable NHL tools, including the NHL DFS Heat Map.

DraftKings and FanDuel Goalies - NHL DFS Picks

Value in net is key on DK with a 3-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.

Sam Montembeault - DK $7.3K || FD $7.9K

Opponent - Pittsburgh Penguins

It became ever clear to me when looking at today's goalies that we can find value with the AM guys. Both Sam Montembeault and Cam Talbot have been stellar in net early on this season posting a .986 SV% and .964 SV% respectively. Montembeault has the easier matchup of the two, facing the Penguins who have looked sluggish out of the gate. Talbot should face a heavy barrage of shots which should play well in hopes of hitting the 35 save bonus on DK.

Others to consider: Cam Talbot (DK $7.1K || FD $7.5K)

Early slate: Jeremy Swayman (DK $7.6 || FD $

DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NHL DFS Picks

Kirby Dach - DK $4.4K || FD $5.5K

As much of a defensive liability as MTL2 has been, Dach and the gang have put up decent numbers on the offensive side. Kirby

Opponent - Pittsburgh Penguins

Others to consider: Erik Haula (DK $4.2K || FD $5.2K )

DraftKings and FanDuel Wings - NHL DFS Picks

Maxim Tsyplakov - DK $3.7K || FD $4.4K

Opponent -Colorado Avalanche

Others to consider: Kaapo Kakko (DK $2.7K || FD $3.6K)

DraftKings and FanDuel Defensemen - NHL DFS Picks

Scott Mayfield - DK $2.5K || FD $4.5K

Opponent - Colorado Avalanche

Scotty doesn't know that he only needs to get a few blocks and shots to hit value. Mayfield won't see top minutes but his contributions on both sides of the blue line as well as on the PK unit should give us enough time for production at min price.

Others to consider: Lane Hutson (DK $3.0K || FD $4.3K)
