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.
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends we're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside! Today's DFS content will be for the main slate for both DraftKings and FanDuel for Friday, November 1, 2024 at 7:00 PM EDT.
DraftKings and FanDuel NHL DFS Picks: First Look Stats
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 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.
Andrei Vasilevskiy - DK $7.6K || FD $7.5K
Opponent - Minnesota Wild
Vasil has been steady in net so far this year with a .911 SV% and a 2.47GAA. The Wild have almost a full negative goal regression at home at only 2.13xGF, Andrei at a discount should still see decent shot volume.
Others to consider: Ilya Sorokin (DK $7.9K || FD $7.2K)
DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NHL DFS Picks
Filip Chytil - DK $3.9K || FD $5.2K
Chytil and his NYR3 linemates have been running hot, especially Chytil. Over the last four games, the center has accumulated five points on 15 SOG. Usually, lower-owned L3 are tickets to takedowns!
Opponent - Ottawa Senators
Others to consider: Adam Lowry (DK $3.3K || FD $4.8K )
DraftKings and FanDuel Wings - NHL DFS Picks
Nino Niederreiter - DK $3.3K || FD $5.4K
Opponent -Columbus Blue Jackets
Nino has been another value article staple these past few years. Columbus has been tough at home so far this year, so the matchup isn't the best, but to pay up for guys like Connor and Hughes, we're going to need production under 4k, and "El Nino" is nothing short of consistent.
Others to consider: Will Cuylle (DK $2.6K || FD $5.0K)
DraftKings and FanDuel Defensemen - NHL DFS Picks
Victor Mancini - DK $2.6K || FD $4.1K
Opponent - Ottawa Senators
If you're looking to scrape the bottom of the value barrel and need a flier, Mancini is your man. Victor has made himself in that right place at the right time during NYR offensive explosions, tallying three assists and a goal over the past five games.
Others to consider: Brenden Dillon (DK $3.2K || FD $3.9K)
JIrv’s Discount Stacks and Sample Lineups

Don't be afraid to go off the beaten path and distinguish yourself from the masses, and as always, good luck, RotoBallers!
