DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NHL DFS Picks

Connor Bedard - DK $6.2K || FD $7.2K

Opponent - Montreal Canadians

"The Kid" is making his first appearance this season and Bedard is being overlooked, which is a mistake. In his last five games, Bedard has fired 22 shots but has only scored one goal. Tonight, he faces Montreal and their league-worst PK on a B2B. On a four-game slate, it's important to hunt for goals, and Bedard could be a great one-off pick alongside our main stack. We should have enough value on the slate to make this work. I predict that Bedard will get on the board tonight with at least five shots.

• Sean Couturier (DK $5.1K || FD $6.4K)

DraftKings and FanDuel Wings - NHL DFS Picks

Artemi Panarin- DK $8.1K || FD $10.1K 

Opponent - Edmonton Oilers

The NHL player nicknamed the "Breadman" is presently ranked among the top five for points and top-10 for goals. What's noteworthy is that he's also eighth in the entire league for shots on the net. Although he was known as more of a playmaker in the past, this season he's been more aggressive in seeking his shot, which has paid off well for both him and the Rangers. I strongly suggest including him in your lineup for tonight's game, particularly against the Oilers playing on a B2B and not being a good defensive team!

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):

• Travis Konecny (DK $5.8K || FD $7.4K)

DraftKings and FanDuel Defensemen - NHL DFS Picks

Mike Matheson- DK $6.0K || FD $7.1K 

Opponent - Chicago Blackhawks

Matheson is the best defenseman for the Habs and he excels in multiple areas such as shooting, blocking shots, running the top power-play, playing on the penalty kill, and averaging almost 30 minutes a night. Although he may be a bit overpriced, he is likely to be overlooked on DK due to other options in his price range. However, in this matchup against the Hawks, he should be a great pick for a defenseman who shoots the puck a lot. Therefore, I am planning to add him to all my lineups tonight.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):

• Moritz Seider (DK $5.7K || FD $6.3K)
