DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NHL DFS Picks
Jack Quinn- DK $2.7K || FD $3.9K (Winger)
Opponent - Vancouver Canucks
Quinn has been moved to the third line for the Sabres, and I actually think this is a positive change for him. It will provide him with easier matchups, especially on home ice. While I don’t expect him to replicate the six shots he had in the last game against Minnesota, it's noteworthy that he ranks in the top six for the Sabres in shots on goal per 60 minutes (SF/60) and scoring chances for per 60 minutes (SCF/60). Given that he is priced as a fourth liner, we can take advantage of this situation today as we look to fit in our higher-priced stacks.
Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):
- Connor Zary - (DK $3.8K || FD $4.9K) (WInger)
DraftKings and FanDuel Wings - NHL DFS Picks
Oliver Bjorkstrand - (DK $3.9K || FD $5.4K)
Opponent - San Jose Sharks
Since Bjorkstrand was paired with Wright and Tolvanen, he has been on fire, recording one goal, one assist, and seven shots in his last two games. Tonight, the Kraken are on the road against one of the worst defensive teams in the NHL at home. This team ranks in the bottom six in several important defensive metrics, including Expected Goals Against per 60 minutes (XGA/60), Shots Against per 60 minutes (SA/60), High-Danger Chances Against per 60 minutes (HDCA/60), and Scoring Chances Against per 60 minutes (SCA/60). This presents a fantastic opportunity for Bjorkstrand and his line, and I expect them to score one or two goals.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):
- Trevor Moore - (DK $4.4K || FD $5.1K)
DraftKings and FanDuel Defensemen - NHL DFS Picks
Jonas Siegenthaler - (DK $2.6K || FD $4.4K)
Opponent - Detroit Redwings
Siegenthaler has a specific role for the Devils, and he excels at blocking shots and playing solid defense. This makes him more of a DraftKings option, particularly because of the shot-blocking bonus, though his overall scoring potential is somewhat limited (he has recorded only 11 shots all season). However, he has blocked at least three shots in four of his last six games, which gives him a strong baseline of 4X his price. This performance allows us to consider top players like Werenski and Josi.
