NHL DFS Goalies
Connor Hellebuyck- DK $7.5K | FD $8.7K
Opponent - St. Louis Blues
Should Jets netminder Connor Hellebuyck start, he is an excellent option for DFS players on Thursday against St. Louis. In his last start, the Commerce, Michigan native fended off 39 of 41 shots beating the Panthers 5-2. He's claimed five consecutive wins giving up just ten goals on 177 opposing team shots. St. Louis has only won one game in their last five contests.
Others To Consider (Cash/GPP): Jake Oettinger (DK $8.3K | FD $7.6K), Andrei Vasilevskiy (DK $8.2K | FD $7.7K)
NHL DFS Centers
Centers
Auston Matthews -DK $8.6K | FD $9.9K
Opponent - Los Angeles Kings
Auston Matthews posted a goal on three shots in a 4-0 win over Dallas Tuesday. He has a five-game point streak where he's logged four goals and five assists. Matthews should be able to keep his point streak going as Toronto face Los Angeles at home. The Kings rank sixth in goals against, allowing 99 in 28 contests.
Mark Scheifele -DK $6.6K| FD $7.4K
Opponent - St. Louis Blues
Jets centerman Mark Scheifele has netted three goals in the last two games and added seven points in the previous five contests. Tuesday, he could light the lamp again as Winnipeg's opponent, the Blues, rank fifth in the NHL with 100 goals against in 26 games.
Others To Consider (CASH/GPP): Roope Hintz (DK $6.5K | FD $8.5K), Anze Kopitar (DK $5.6K| FD $6.7K)
NHL DFS Wings
Jason Robertson -DK $9.0K | FD $8.8K
Opponent - Ottawa Senators
Jason Robertson's remarkable 18-game point streak came to an end Tuesday. During the streak, he registered 21 goals and 13 assists. However, he could quickly start a new run as Dallas hosts Ottawa, who is 4-6-1 on the road, and they are coming off a 5-2 loss to the Kings on Tuesday.
Nikita Kucherov -DK $8.2K| FD $10.1K
Opponent - Nashville Predators
Tampa Bay sports a record of 7-3-0 in their last ten contests. During those ten games, Kucherov has four goals and ten assists. The Russian winger leads the Lightning with 92 shots on goal. Kucherov and his teammates host the Nashville Predators, who have won three consecutive games. However, Tampa Bay beat Nashville 3-2 on November 19th, where Kucherov netted a goal and added two assists.
Others To Consider (CASH/GPP): Mitch Marner (DK $6.6K | FD $8.6K), Kevin Fiala (DK $6.3K| FD $7.3K)
NHL DFS Defensemen
Roman Josi- DK $8.7 | FD $8.9K
Opponent - Tampa Bay Lightning
Nashville Predators defenseman Roman Josi has recorded two goals and two assists in three contests. He's coming off a two-point game where he registered five shots on goal and blocked four shots. The Predators are winners of three in a row. A big reason for the win streak has been the outstanding play of the all-star defenseman.
Josh Morrissey- DK $6.2K | FD $7.4K
Opponent - St. Louis Blues
Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey has been a crucial component of the team's success this season. He's logged at least a point in 19 of 24 Jets games. Morrissey has a great chance of keeping a two-game point streak alive facing off against a struggling Blues squad.
Others To Consider (CASH/GPP): Brandon Montour (DK $6.5K | FD $7.5K), Mikhail Sergachev (DK $5.9K | FD $7.3K)
